“I don’t know,” I said with a shrug. “I think we need to do that again, just to make sure.”
He chuckled, kissing me again and I sighed, burying my face in his chest once I felt like I could breathe again.
“You haven’t really locked onto me, have you?” I asked.
“Sure have,” he said, giving me a squeeze.
I met his eyes. “It’s so soon.”
“I’m not marrying you, Bryn. Just don’t want to get to know anyone else right now.”
“That’s all that means?”
“Yeah, that’s all that means.”
I relaxed. “Oh, I can deal with that.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“Does nothing faze you?” I asked.
“What do you mean?”
“You got here, and I was totally melting down. You know, being totally female. You didn’t get mad or try to turn it back on me, you rolled with it and joked me out of it.”
“You’re allowed to melt down, Bryn. You’re also allowed to feel what you feel. We’ll work all that shit out.” He scowled. “Jesus, what kind of an asshole was DC?”
“A big one,” I grumbled.
The doorbell pealed interrupting whatever he was going to say.
“Pizza,” I deduced. “Let me get my purse.”
I headed into the kitchen but by the time I returned, Harm was already walking my way, pizzas in hand. “I got ’em, babe.”
“Did you get a receipt?”
“Why?”
“So I can pay you back.”
“When I say I got the pizzas, I got the pizzas, Bryn.”
“I can’t give youanything?”
“Nope.” He set the boxes on the counter, next to the bag he’d brought earlier.
“But I ordered extra for Briggs.”
“So? I got it.”
I slid my hand to his waist. “Thank you.”
He grinned, kissing me quickly. “You’re welcome.”
“I stopped and got beer.” I pulled open the fridge. “I just grabbed a few kinds since I wasn’t sure what to get. Help yourself.”
“Babe, you didn’t need to do that.”
