“Sorry, pal, I need to nip away.” I ended the call before he—they—could say anything else. I needed to go see my girl, make sure she was holding up.
“May,” I boomed as I made it out of the office door. Everyone’s attention came my way for a split second, then they quickly found other things to occupy themselves with.
“Have you gone mad? Don’t be crying out my name like that unless you’re dying.”
My Gran glared at me from two feet away.
“Aye, sorry. I’m nipping around the corner?—”
“Let the girl process, Rudy. She’s fine; I checked on her myself this morning.”
“I need to see her for myself.” I nodded her way then took off toward the lift. My cell was to my ear before the doors opened.
“Meet me out front.”
I didn’t wait for a reply before I ended the call. I stepped into the lift and pressed the ground floor button. If all went well, I’d be at her place in less than twenty minutes.
Knocking on the apartment door, I scanned the area around me.
This place was a right shite. I needed to get her and her mum out of this place. I wouldn’t take no for an answer. She—they—needed to be safe.
“Rudy?”
I turned to see her peeking out through a crack in the door. “Aye, may I come in?”
She nodded, pushing the door shut, removing the chain and opening it fully for me. I hurried inside and captured her in my arms. She reached behind us to lock the door. My eyes closed, and I sank into the warmth she offered.
“Are you okay?” Her soft query had my eyes opening and meeting her gaze.
“Aye, I was just worried about ye. May told me ye were okay, but I needed to see for me self.” I ran a finger along the bruised skin of her cheek.
“I’m okay. Really. Just tired.”
Leaning down, I pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Understandable, love.”
I pulled back and got a good look at the apartment around me and froze. There were moving boxes, some packed and some still sitting wide open. Rolls of brown paper and bubble wrap littered the floor.
“Are you leaving?” I questioned, unsure.
Her smile brightened. “Yes, but only from this apartment.” Her hands slid up my chest, and her gaze met mine fully. “Mom got a better job, working for a friend of your father’s. She’s moving to a better part of town into her own apartment, and I…” She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth.
“And you?” I asked, my hand moving to cup her cheek.
“May has offered to let me rent her guest house.”
“The bungalow.” I leaned down and kissed her, claiming her mouth with my own. When I pulled back, she was breathing heavy. “I have a better proposition.”
“You’re propositioning me? Now, Mr. Ferguson, how would that look?”
“I don’t fecking care how it looks.” I kissed her again, walking her backward. I pressed against her, my hands moving to lift her into my arms, her back to the wall.
“Rudy…what…” Her moan stole her words.
“Ye can move into the big house with me.” My lips trailed down her neck. I took my time, breathing her in. “I have an entire wing, Jacuzzi tub, and a huge bed to make you come in.”
Her chest was heaving now. I couldn’t keep my hands off of her; her breasts were pressing into my chest. I could feel the tight little nipples through her clothes.
My cock was rock hard, and her delicious heat was making me throb. “Lass, ye have no idea how bad I want ye. All of ye. Here, now, forever.”
