Rory (Coded for Love 1)
“Yes.”
“Did she come to London to find you?”
Rory frowned. “No. She came for college. But we’re seeing each other and I wanted you to hear it from me.”
Draco sighed “You two were magnets. It was bound to happen eventually.”
“You knew?”
“It’d be hard not to. You always had the serious hots for each other.”
“I want you to know I respect her, I’ll look after her. I’d prefer it if we had your approval.”
Draco stared at him, eyes overcast. “I doubt there’s a lot I could do if I didn’t approve. Sky’s a stubborn, headstrong girl.”
Rory laughed. “That’s the truth.”
Draco gave him a warning glance.
“She needs to get into college,” Rory added, quickly, “make something of her dreams.”
“I’ll help if I can. Tell her to let me know what she needs.”
Rory nodded. “If we both back her, it’ll happen.”
The suggestion seemed to ease Draco’s mood. He looked at his watch. “I’m going to have to get going, don’t want to disappoint my new boss.”
Rory’s curiosity rose. He’d said it might be a date. “The new boss is a woman?”
“Not quite. The new boss is a guy. It’s his daughter who approached me about the job. I’m meeting her this evening.” He was about to walk away, but turned back. “Hey, if I need you to help me out with something, would you?”
“I take it you don’t mean with the woman?”
Draco cracked a smile, finally. “No. The lady I can handle.”
“Sounds interesting.”
“It could be.” There was a spark there in Draco’s eyes.
Rory shrugged. “As long as you’re agreeable about me seeing Sky, I’m at you’re service.”
Draco lifted his chin, hooded eyes inscrutable. “You’ll take good care of her?”
“I won’t ever hurt her, if that’s what you’re worried about.”
Draco nodded, then strode off at a pace.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
The muffled sound of a phone ringing woke Rory. Blinking in the gloom, he tried to figure out where he was. On Sky’s futon.
Once he’d assured himself it wasn’t his ring tone, and it wasn’t close by, he pulled the warm soft woman snuggled against him closer. It was only just past dawn, the crack of light between the curtains weak and pale.
Sky sighed.
He closed his eyes and gave her an approving squeeze on her backside.
She pulled free.
