Keeping 13 (Boys of Tommen, #2)

by Chloe Walsh

He raised my hand and pressed a kiss to my knuckles. "Took me forever to get back to you."

I'm here, I'm in, I care, and I'm not going the fuck away."

"You love his sister, and I love his sister's best friend,"

"You're one hell of a mother, Joey the hurler."

"Are you ever going to kiss me?"

"I love you,"

"Present tense – as in I mean it now.

"You little liar." Leaning closer, he cupped my cheek with his big hand and pressed his forehead to mine. "I can read you like a book."

"What do you need from me, Shannon?"

"I'll give

you anything you nee...

"I just…I want to make you happy." "You," I whisper...

"I'm already ...

Everything was different when it came to her.

"I'm here for Johnny the boy,"

"Not Johnny the rugby player."

"All the time," Claire groaned. "And I know he listens to them." Sighing, she added, "He just chooses not to hear them."

Shannon's songs for Johnny.

"You're beautiful."

"I'm keeping you, Shannon Lynch."

"I want you,"

"More than I've ever wanted anyone in my entire life."

"I want you, too," he said with a smirk. "In every way."

"I'm with you. All of you. Every part. Good and bad. I'm staying. So, don’t hide this part from me."

"For keeps?" I breathed. He kissed my shoulder. "For keeps."

I was obsessed with my girlfriend. I was in so deep with her that I could hardly breathe and still, I jumped in deeper, pushed down further, wanted more and took it, doing whatever I could to just be with her.

"Yeah…so, this is my dick,"

"No matter what happens, we'll stick together." "You promise…"

"Don't come back." She shook her head. "Just save my children."

"So, Cap's Batman and you're Robin?" Feely mused. "Hmm. Makes sense."

"I'm not a good swimmer," I admitted. "Then I'll throw you a lifejacket and swim out to get you," he shot back, tucking me into his side. "Because I'm an excellent swimmer."

"Sean and my Onny."

"You're my queen," he purred, slapping his thighs. "So, come here and let me worship ya."

"He'll go for a drive with her, she'll do whatever she does that brings him back down, and then he'll bounce back again."

"But whatever he needs right now, he'll get that from her."

"I'm coming back to you, Shannon like the river."

"But don't forget that you'll always be my 13."

"My binding 13."

"I'll marry you,"

"We'll have a family," he continued to say. "One of our own, and I'll stand by you right back. In whatever you choose to do. No matter what."
