Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1)

“Not too much longer to wait.” I sighed. “Thank fuck, ’cause I’m in love.” “You’re in love?”

“Oh, Johnny,” Mam sighed. “You never had to lie, baby. I like that girl.” “She’s mine,” I grumbled. “You can’t have her.”

“Hi, Johnny.” “Boom, boom, fucking boom, Da,” I groaned, slapping a hand against my chest. “I’m done for.”

“Bring the lights back, Da,” Johnny instructed, slurring his words. “Light up the world. You need to see this girl.” “Johnny,” his mother said in a warning tone. “Behave yourself.” “I wanna see her, Ma,” he groaned. “I can’t see her.”

“See her, Da? See? So fucking beautiful!” Johnny announced. “Told ye all.” Oh god…

“I love you, Shannon like the river,” he slurred. My heart stopped.

“I fucking love you,” Johnny said again. Oh god. He did. He absolutely did. Twice.

“Johnny, I know, but I have to go,” I whispered, flustered. “It’s family only.” “She’s my wife,” he announced then, blowing my mind clean open.

“Johnny, I love you.”

“You are love.”
