No, she was not bringing the past into their future.

But she wouldn’t let their dating interfere with him getting to know his son.

Besides, if she were staying, she had a lot of arrangements to make, and she’d rather make them herself or she was afraid she’d let Virus take the lead. If she did that, she knew he’d move at warp speed. He was convinced all they needed was love. Rae was a little more practical.

Dressed and ready to go, she stared down at Virus. It ached how much she loved him, but they had to be smart this time.

“Virus. Wake up, idjit.” She shook him and he pulled her down on top of him.

“I’m awake, and … you’re dressed?”

“Yes, I’m going to head back to Harmon’s. I have some things to handle and you have a son to spend some time with.” He rolled them over and hovered over her.

“NO! No more running, Sunny. You promised.” He choked on the words and her heart broke.

Cupping his cheeks, she brought her forehead to him. “I’m not running. I’ll be at Harmon’s planning for my new life.”

“You’ll stay with me and Adam. Problem solved.” He smiled. “Now, get naked.”

She loved that he automatically included Adam in his life but hated that what she was afraid of was already rearing its head. Darrin was like a tornado, he just swept everything up. She’d let that happen once, and it ended horribly. They’d been given a second chance, and she would not make the same mistakes.

“No. We are in the getting to know each other phase, remember. That means we aren’t fucking like rabbits twenty-four seven. And we most certainly aren’t shacking up. You need to get to know Adam, and you and I need to get reacquainted. Besides, I have a wooing to plan,” she added giddily.

Virus waggled his eyebrows and rolled over, but not before kissing her soundly.

“For the record, if you’re planning on wooing me, my love language is fucking twenty-four seven.” Rae laughed before dropping a kiss on his lips and standing.

With his eyes twinkling with amusement he looked ten years younger. She’d always loved the playful side of him.

“That, and tit pics. Lots and lots of tit pics.”

His laughter followed her from the room. Stopping by the tent in the living room, she kissed Adam goodbye. He woke enough for her to explain she’d be busy the next day or so, but was only a phone call away and he’d have a ton of fun with his dad.

All the way to Harmon’s, she thought about wooing her man.
