Chapter Twenty-Four

Jordan came home one afternoon to find Georgia carrying a sleeping Daisy to her bedroom. She called him earlier to let him know Daisy had to be picked up early.

“Jordan, she has a fever. The daycare called me to pick her up. I gave her some Tylenol, and she fell asleep,” Georgia explained.

He followed her, watching as she placed Daisy in her bed. Looking around the room, he noticed Georgia placed the finishing touches on the room by putting bookshelves and a special stuffed animal bucket around the walls of the room. Reaching down, he placed a hand on Daisy’s forehead. She felt warm.

“Did they say how high the fever was?” he whispered, smoothing her wayward curls from her face.

“102.6. I think she has the bug Liam caught last week,” Georgia replied, beckoning him out of the room.

“Do you want me to take tomorrow off?” he asked, worried she wouldn’t want to take care of a sick Daisy.

“No. I can handle this. You go to work.” Georgia pressed a kiss to his lips, making him smile. His mate made him feel like the luckiest man in the world. Normally, when Daisy got sick, he had to work from home.

“Thank you. I’ll make dinner so you can work on your writing. I know picking up Daisy cut into your work time,” he offered. He didn’t want her work to suffer.

“Speaking of work, have you heard from Bert? I want the man to pay for giving away my ideas. If the books became successful, I would have made millions off sales,” she replied.

Jordan stared at her in shock. Millions? How much did she have exactly?

“Millions?” he asked. He needed to know.

“Jordan, I don’t think we really spoke about finances. We jumped the gun, and you and Daisy moved in. Would you like to see my portfolio?” she asked.

He nodded. If they were to be partners, they needed to be transparent with each other.

“Sure, and you can see mine.”

They went into the basement to her finished office. Georgia sat at her desk as Jordan settled on a chair next to her. He wouldn’t rush her into sharing her finances with him.

“Here,” she announced, turning the monitor screen for him to look. Her money had been separated into risky stocks, safe investments, and a savings account. Looking at the bottom of the screen, he saw the total. It took him aback. Georgia Stevens, the author, was worth 6.8 million dollars.

“Holy crap,” he whispered, feeling slightly inadequate.

“Please don’t freak out,” she begged. Jordan knew he couldn’t let her success make him feel inferior. She’d worked her ass off to become successful. He felt proud to be her mate.

“I am proud to be your mate.” Jordan leaned over and kissed her hard on the mouth. He needed to show her how much he loved her. She opened her mouth, letting him in. He swept into to taste the ambrosia he’d become addicted to. Releasing her mouth, he pulled up his own bank account.

“This is me,” he explained, letting her look it over.
