“Why don’t you just move in with me?” She laughed lightly but he shrugged. “I’m not joking. Just temporarily so you don’t have to waste money on a rental.” Lies. Once he got her in here, he wasn’t letting her go. “And that way Bud will have company.” They’d already bought him a new bed, dog bowls, toys—so many toys.

I guess I’m just nervous. I’ve been into you for a while too. And then we moved from friends to fake relationship to the real thing in a matter of days. I’ve gotten a bit of whiplash. Not to mention there’s my family dynamic.” “What about your family?” “Well, if things don’t work out—” “Why wouldn’t they work out? We just started and you’re already writing our ending?

She was looking at him with a wild hunger. No fear or hesitation. Not that he’d actually expected that from her, but there wasn’t any room for regrets. He never wanted her to regret them, this. Not when they’d been building to this for months. Hell, longer. Now that they were finally here, he was going to do things right.

Even as he kissed her she couldn’t believe that this was actually happening. Screw baby steps, screw everything but this right here and now. If she thought too much about what they were doing, she’d ruin it. She’d get caught up in her head and she didn’t want that. She wanted to do exactly as her aunt had always said and follow her heart. It was leading her straight to Nash.

Nash had invited this guy along, but she found that he was very likeable. “Nash told my brother that we were dating, so now my whole family is blowing up my phone.” Juan barked out a laugh. “How many siblings do you have?” “Three brothers. And a slightly terrifying mother.” He laughed harder now, but Nash was completely unruffled. And…she’d noticed that he hadn’t agreed to clear everything up with her family either.

She was so woven into the fabric of his life that he knew she was it for him. He’d known for a while, even if he didn’t want to admit it aloud. He just had to navigate the minefield of her family dynamics before making a move. Hell, if he even did. Sometimes he thought she might see him as more than just a friend, but then other times…

It was the job of a lifetime and she couldn’t say no. She could make enough off the commission to finally quit, pay off the mortgage to the animal shelter she’d recently inherited, and settle back in Miami. She hadn’t told her family or anyone about her plans but it was her ultimate goal. She was tired of traveling, tired of always being on the go, tired of having no roots.
