CHAPTER SEVEN

‘NOT WITHOUT LOVE,’ Pixie protested.

‘I’ve got lust covered,’ Tor said almost insouciantly as he reclined back on her bed, completely unashamed of the arousal tenting his tailored trousers. ‘I’ve got lust in spades.’

And Pixie thought about it in that moment—seriously thought about marrying a man because she couldn’t keep her hands off him—until all her common sense stood up and screamed at her to get her brain back in gear.

‘We need more,’ she told him heavily.

‘We’ve got Alfie, and Alfie will benefit from having an equal share of both of us. Two parents together, united.’

‘You’re still hung up on Katerina.’

‘No. I’ve taken the ring off. That’s behind me. I can’t promise love because that’s an emotional state and I don’t know if I’m capable of feeling like that again,’ Tor told her frankly. ‘But I can tell you that I’ll be faithful and trustworthy and secure.’

And she wanted him, dear heaven, Pixie had never wanted anything as she wanted Tor at that moment because she saw that he was willing to try, she saw that he had moved himself on, indeed that the eruption of her and Alfie into his life had fundamentally changed his outlook. But was it enough?

‘I’d be taking a chance on you...and I don’t do that,’ she whispered honestly. ‘I always play safe.’

‘I’ll make it work. You marry me and I’ll make it work,’ Tor intoned fiercely. ‘We can be married within a couple of days and you can meet my family as my wife.’

And that offer had undeniable power because she had naturally been nervous of meeting his family. Being a wife would give her more status than merely being his illegitimate son’s mother, a position that would only leave his family questioning exactly what their relationship encompassed. If she went to Greece with him, the two of them would be very much under scrutiny, which made her uneasy. She had watched Tor with Alfie, watched him being patient and caring. She could look for no more than that in the father of her son.

Even though it had gone against the grain, Tor had extended a helping hand to Jordan because that was what she wanted him to do. Even if she only married him for Alfie’s sake and security, she would be making the right choice, she reasoned. But that wouldn’t be the only reason she married him, her conscience piped up, and her face heated. She could have him in bed, if she married him, no worries about what he might think of her for succumbing, no worries about where that intimacy could be heading because marriage would give them the solid framework that they lacked.

Pixie breathed in deep and fast. ‘OK... I’ll marry you, so that we can be a real family.’

Tor lowered lush black lashes over stunned eyes at that seemingly snap decision, wondering what he had said right, done right to ultimately convince her round to his point of view. ‘I’ll get it organised.’

Pixie nodded slowly. ‘I want a proper wedding though,’ she warned him.
