Chapter 36

Wes held up his hands and actually blushed. He made a placating gesture toward both of us. “Hang on. No, I didn’t tell him. But I had good reason.”

Miss Lavinia crossed her arms under her breasts and glared at her son. “This I’d like to hear.”

“Me, too,” I muttered.

“Come on, babe. You were already freaking out about us moving too fast. If I told you that you were about to meet my mother, you would’ve run screaming in the other direction. Admit it.”

I made a grumbling noise that I’d learned from Wes, and he probably took it to mean I agreed. Okay, so he was probably right. Or at least he was right if this had happened a few days ago. Sometime in the lastweek, though, I’d decided to jump in with both feet. Not that he knew that, because I hadn’t told him. And I wasn’t going to do so now. I tried to firm up my glare. When he took me into his arms, I kept my body unyielding.
