Scarlett lives up to her namesake—she’s melodramatic and boisterous.
And poor Harry, she only wants to be by herself, to the point of escaping to the neighbor’s property.

I hear Grady’s irate scoff, “I don’t know what surprises me more—that the cow has a name or you know it. Who in the hell are you and what have you done with Crew Vega?”
“I want you close. You’ll stay at my side.” Again, a statement. And, sort of an order. “I don’t understand.”
“Anyhoots,” she continues, “Mr. Fancy Pants convinced me he was A-okay. I figured you hooked up with someone at the White House. I was all excited for you until he told me he was your neighbor and you were still in bed. Then I find out he’s not only your neighbor, but he’s the smoochie kind of neighbor who you’re a teensy bit protective of. So, I want to know—why haven’t I met him? And if everyone else knows about the smooches but me, I’m gonna be pissed.”

“It means, I know you and I know you’re all in. It doesn’t have one fuck of a thing to do with how beautiful or single she is. Though, I’m sure it didn’t hurt and now that I’ve seen you with her, I can see you’re all in.”
All of a sudden, I’m not in my chair any longer. I’m up and yanked around the corner of the table where Crew pulls me onto his lap.
“Baby,” his voice softens even as he sounds frustrated. “You said yourself you liked me here, but I’ll bet your sweet ass I liked being here more than you liked having me here. It’s late and even though tomorrow’s Saturday, I’ve got a shitload to do. Now, come to bed. You look tired.”
“Never wanted something so much. Can’t stay away from you, can’t even get you out of my head. I’ve never had a shot at anything good, let alone someone like you.”
“You’re what I get. After ten years of doin’ what I needed to do, I settle next door to you.”
“I promise to get creative with you, but after that, I doubt you have the energy for anything else,” he says, giving me a hint of the dimple. “That was fucking spectacular.”
Then he ravishes me. Thanks to Crew and his creativity, I’m usually too spent to do any of my own ravishing.
“You might’ve been a badass SEAL, Jarvis, but this isn’t SEAL training. Remember that. You’ve got a fuck-of-a-lot more to learn and challenging me on the third day was not the brightest idea,”
That was my reaction, as well, the first time I saw Hercules, here. At least he has his shirt on today. Sometimes we refer to him as Zeus, but he’s young and virile, so Hercules fits. Oh, and he’s also knockin’ Addy’s socks off in more ways than one. So you see? There’s really no reason at all for you to return.”

I find myself hoping to God she doesn’t think she just gave me goodbye sex, because that’s exactly what it felt like. There’s no fucking way this is goodbye. Only over my dead body will I let that happen.
