Chapter 420

• There’s nothing rushed about where we are now; if anything, I’ve had the patience of a saint to wait this long to ask you.” He smiles his killer Casanova Carrero beam, and I return it; he knows how to play me so easily.
• “I don’t want you to get fed up with me. Constantly being together can’t be healthy,” I add gently.
• “It won’t be like that. We’re still enjoying being together in ways we never allowed ourselves; this is the honeymoon period. When we get comfier, we’ll do some things apart, like you and Sarah, Leila … Sophie. I still want to go out with Daniel. I have other friends that you probably wouldn’t be comfortable around, friends I really wouldn’t trust near you. I’ll still have to take solo business trips when things are hectic and you’re needed here. There are no rules; we make them up as we go, il Mio Amore.” He strokes my fingers, voice low and sincere.
