It’s about fifteen minutes before Brendan comes out and sighs in relief when he sees me, pulling me into a hug.
“Are you okay? Were they too rough or did they make you upset with their questions?” I’m about to reassure him when he asks, “Do you need to stop and get ice cream?”
“Ice cream would make me feel better.” I sniffle, and he laughs.
“You faker.” Then he leads me out of the station with an arm around my shoulder. “Let’s get out of here.”

Rory’s here.
Perfect.
I grab my full coffee cup and dump it down the drain before I exit my office.
“Judy, I’m going to get more coffee—” I stop and smile at Rory. “Rory. How nice to see you again.”
“Hi there!” He perks up and uncurls from inside his sweatshirt. How does he fit his whole body in there? “I was hoping I’d see you again.”
“Me too.”
“Really?”
“I wanted to thank you for the postcard.”
“I hope it wasn’t lame, but I wanted to thank you and let you know I was thinking about you while I was having fun.” He sounds so nervous.
“It isn’t lame, and I’m glad you had fun, but why do you think the trip was from me?”
“You were so nice to me when we first met, and it just made sense.”
“You deserved something nice.”
“So you know what happened to me?” He puts his head down in shame.
“I do, but that doesn’t define you. I wanted to let you tell me who you are, not what happened to you.”
“I like that. Too many people think they know me, and it makes them more opinionated about me.”
“Tell me who and I’ll take care of them,” I growl. Rory just laughs.
“I appreciate the offer, but you just can’t go around killing people.”
“Watch me,” I grumble, and he shivers this time. “No one gets to make you upset.”
“That’s-that’s very thoughtful of you.” He looks up at me through his dark lashes, and fuck me. His lips are gorgeous. I really want to taste them, to see how they stretch around my thick cock.
Leaning back, I clear my throat. “Did you get everything you wanted on the trip?”
He huffs adorably. “I wanted some stuffies, but Brendan said we wouldn’t have room to bring them on the plane with us. I did get a new hoodie.” He stands and shows off the oversized hoodie. “Perfect for curling up in.”
You could curl up in my lap. I’d keep you safe and warm.
“It looks very comfortable.”
“It is, and I had so much fun. Maybe we can meet again and I can show you some pictures from my trip?”
