“I need to go back to the flat.” I watch his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He’s shaving, and it’s kind of hard not to stare as he tilts his face this way and that removing all the stubble I love to run my fingers across.

“If you’d moved some stuff in here like I suggested at the weekend, you wouldn’t be spending your time traipsing across London to get clean knickers every day.”

We’d come home from France late on Sunday and I’d expected him to drop me home, but he’d driven straight to his Mews and well, here I’ve stayed. In his big bed, discovering things about him I’m sure people find out way before they start to live together. Like spooning is a real thing. He doesn’t sleep unless his arms are tight around my waist.

Sunday evening was three nights ago.

I pull a face and he chuckles. “You are still as sexy as fuck, even when you do that.”

I glow with his words—it’s all levels of pathetic.

I’m all levels of pathetic at the moment. With the studio space he’s created for me out in his garden and the fact he’s here with his big comfortable bed. I don’t seem able to leave and do all the things I would have done before I met him.

Tabitha and Lewis seem to have taken up residence in my little Islington flat. So basically, none of us are where we should be, apart from Eli.

“I need clean knickers.”

He wipes off the shaving foam and turns to me, a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair in short damp spikes. He looks like some sort of Greek god. “I’ll buy out the whole of M&S’s underwear section if you just agree to stay here with me.”

I roll my eyes and he pinches the end of my nose with his finger and thumb. “I told you, I’m not moving in. We haven’t been together long enough, or actually at all.”

He brushes a kiss across my mouth and it’s delightfully minty fresh. I want to slide in my tongue and explore further. “And I told you there is nothing about us that’s standard.”

“I’ll say.” I arch an eyebrow. “We still haven’t faced your mother or the psychotic grandbaronessy.” I think about Dan and the row we had. It hangs heavy on my chest. I should call him. I want to call him.

Elijah watches me in the mirror as I wrestle with myself, but he doesn’t ask what I’m thinking about. I flash him a smile and get back to my morning routine.

“They can wait.” He turns and leaves me in the bathroom and I hear him sliding open his wardrobe where he must be picking out one of his beautiful suits. He has an entire wardrobe full of the things—black, grey, navy, all of them are cut to perfection and next to them are an array of ties chosen to match. It’s a different world to the ripped jeans and pass me down T-shirts I grew up in.
