Fighting for Love (Boston Love 2)

A tear slipped from my eye, and I felt incredibly weak. “I’m not like you, Harmony. I’m not sure I could ever be that strong. The way I feel about Finn, it keeps growing, and at times I feel like I’ll die if I don’t get to see him. I can only imagine that feeling will grow, and if something were to happen to him…I’m not sure I could be that strong.”

She grinned and wiped my tear away. “Wouldn’t you rather live your life with him and treasure each and every day than spend the rest of your life wondering what it would have been like to be with him?”

Angela sighed again. “Oh, how I love love. It’s so flipping amazing.”

I laughed, then dragged in a deep breath. “My goodness. Where in the world did all this come from?” I asked while wiping my face and getting my composure back.

“The baby. It’s weird; it brings out weird emotions when you hold her.”

Angela and I both laughed at Harmony’s words.

Holding up her hands, Angela said, “Okay, but wait. We still need to talk about this no-sex thing.”

My face blushed. “I did mention to Finn how I was very…inexperienced. I think I might have scared him.”

With a huge grin spreading across her face, Angela shook her head. “That’s not it; I can promise you that. If there is one thing my mother did right with my brothers, it was how she raised them to treat women. Now, Finn might have liked his playboy ways at one time, but I can guarantee you he is simply waiting for the right moment. He wants your first time together to be perfect.”

I lifted my brows. “You think? Because right now, if he said he wanted me in the middle of the bar, I’d say yes!”

We all laughed, quietly, since Presley was still sleeping soundly. Angela looked at me and grinned. “Trust me when I say Finn wants you too, Rory. I see it written all over his face. He’s waiting for the right moment.”

I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes. “Well, I sure hope he finds it soon.”

Chapter 25

Finn

Off the market

I stared at the back office door of the bar, waiting for the three of them to emerge.

“You’ve been staring at that door for a while now, bro. What’s going on?”

Not bothering to look at Wes, I responded, “Angela and Harmony took Rory in the back office, and they’ve been in there for some time now. What do you think they’re doing to her?”

“Probably some kind of sacrifice. Something to welcome her into the family, since it’s clear that thanks to her you’ve taken yourself off the market.”

My head snapped as I stared at him. “Sacrifice? What the fuck are you talking about?”

Wes tossed his head back and laughed. “I love how you picked up on that, but not the part of me saying you took yourself off the market. Have you?”

I didn’t even have to think twice about it. “Yes. Rory’s different from any other girl I’ve ever met. I don’t want to fuck things up with her.”

He lifted his brows and replied, “Wow. Finn Ward a one-woman man. Who would have thought? You truly think you’ll be happy with one woman for the rest of your life?”

“Let’s not get carried away. I’m not asking her to marry me…yet. We just started dating, for fuck’s sake. Hell, we haven’t even made love yet.”

Wes choked on the beer he had just gulped. Smiling, I hit his back and asked, “You okay there, bro?”

Once he got his coughing under control, he leaned in closer and asked, “You haven’t fucked her yet?”

I hit him on the shoulder and pushed him away. “Don’t talk about Rory like that.”

His eyes widened in shock. “Holy shit. Are you in love with this girl?”

Glancing back at the door, I thought about earlier when I had slipped and said the L word to Rory. She hadn’t even flinched. She must have taken it as slip of the tongue. Thank God. I wasn’t ready to drop that word on anyone yet.

“No, but I am falling in love with her.”
