“Harrison?” I call into the house.
There’s no answer, but Barney peers through the railing upstairs.
I hung out with my friends over lunch before they had to fly back, pretending the man I love more than anything didn’t walk out on us and take my heart with him.
When I return to the villa, I’m resolved.
I want Harrison. The rest we’ll figure out.
I step out of my sandals and head across the room, taking the stairs in bare feet. I pause at the top.
There’s movement in Harrison’s room, a shadow falling across the open doorway.
“I know I sprung the Vegas thing on you, but I want a future. And I want it with…”
When I step inside, he’s waiting.
My attention drifts to the matching set of Louis Vuitton luggage on the bed. I reach for one and open it, finding it full of my belongings. “What is this?”
“Proper bags. For more than a handful of items. You said you wanted to settle down. Doesn’t mean you won’t travel occasionally, but this will get you started.”
His thoughtfulness slices through the knot in my stomach.
“This is a lot of luggage. What could possibly be in…” I unzip the second bag, and the silver appliance glints up at me. “The espresso machine?” My jaw drops.
“I bought it for you,” he murmurs from behind me.
“You’re insane.”
“Only since I met you. You’re impossible to please.”
“That’s because there’s nothing you could give me that would make me happy.”
Because what I want is you.
He frowns, nodding to the next suitcase. “Look anyway.”
I roll my eyes but open the top.
The contents have my hand dropping to my side.
Rows of folded, pressed dress shirts stare up at me. Neatly looped belts. Folded slacks.
The window is open, but there’s not enough air in the room. My throat works for a moment before I can make a sound.
“Your things?” I force my gaze to meet his, and when I do, it’s full of so much emotion I’m tingling everywhere.
“Consider me newly acquired baggage. I love you. You’re not going anywhere without me.”
Hope surges through me. I want to so badly. I know he usually leaves Ibiza at the end of the season, but for London. The last time he was in the US, it was for Kings, which is a pile of rubble. I can’t quite believe this man would drop everything to follow me.
“Even Vegas?”
He nods. “I made a call. We have a penthouse at the Wynn.”
My slow smile won’t stop. “God, you’re arrogant. I haven’t even invited you.”
