Chapter 436: Distractions

"You're distracting me."

"How?"

"You're staring," I say, returning my attention to the computer monitor.

"And?"

"It's rude to stare."

"I'm only looking at what's mine," she replies brazenly.

"Not yet, little Bint. You haven't signed yet."

I turn my head to look at her then, knowing that her expression will be priceless. Her eyes are wide and her mouth open.

Leaning across my desk, I kiss her briefly.

"Soon," I say quietly before pulling back.

Her mouth closes and her expression turns thoughtful as if she's considering how to raise a topic of conversation that she knows I don't want to have.

"Why are you in such a rush to get married?" she asks hurriedly.

"Because I love you."

I know that answer won't be enough. She needs more. I'm not really sure what more there is though.

"I don't know what you want to hear, Georgia. I love you. I want to be your husband. That's really all there is to it."

Except it's not. And she knows it.
