The DC Insider: It looks like we may need to find a new Hottest Ticket in Town. Derrick Jameson and Ellie Gold have been living it up. Dates and dinners. There’s even a rumor that they’ll be attending a charity event together next week. Does this mean Derrick plans to put a ring on it? We’ll have to wait and see.

Derrick knew he was in trouble the second he opened his office door. Both Spence and Jackson were in there. Spence looked at home in the big chair with his feet up on the desk. A bit too comfortable, but at least he was in the office, which was more than he’d been in months.

Spence made a show of looking at his watch. “You were gone for two hours.”

Yeah, that was the last thing Derrick intended to talk about. “I had something I needed to do.”

Truth was the sex had him reeling. He hadn’t even used protection. That had never happened in his adult life. He’d never even been tempted to skip that step. With Ellie, he wanted it all. He ignored the risks.

The idea of a fake arrangement had backfired on him. He didn’t want an on-paper-only relationship with Ellie. Then again, he didn’t know what he wanted with her. Nothing made sense, including his choices, at the moment.

“How is Ellie adjusting to her new house?” Jackson asked.

Her house. Just the thought of that should have set off an explosion in Derrick’s brain. He was not a guy to settle down. He rarely invited women to his house. That’s what hotels were for.

He maintained a strict wall, keeping almost everyone but a select few out of his most personal space. But with Ellie the lines had blurred from the very start.

“She was less than impressed that I went ahead and scheduled the movers.” Talk about an understatement.

“Women.” Spence shook his head. “Man, you’d think they’d love having their stuff packed up without telling them first.”

Derrick glared at Jackson. “You told him.”

“It was too good not to share,” Jackson said, not even bothering to deny it.

Spence leaned back with his arms folded behind his head. “Big brother, can I give you some advice?”

That wasn’t what Derrick wanted right now. “Get up first.”

Spence whistled. “You’re grumpy for a guy who had sex. You did, right? I hate to think you look that disheveled just from talking.”

“I was fine until I walked in here.” That was pretty much all Derrick wanted to say on that topic, so he gestured for Spence to get up then took his seat.

“The advice?” Spence leaned on the edge of Derrick’s desk.

“Right. From the guy who isn’t dating anyone.” Derrick held out a hand. “Please enlighten me.”

“I talked with Ellie for fifteen minutes and I think you need to be careful.”

That got Derrick’s attention. “Of her?”

“Of losing her, dumb-ass. Don’t mess this up.”

Not bad brotherly advice. “I’m trying not to.”

Spence shook his head. “Try harder.”

The day had been this whirlwind of emotions. As soon as Derrick left the house to go back to work—because of course he did—panic set in.
