Chapter 155

• "I'll start looking into getting you some security" He says with a slight nod of his head. Security? Seriously? I'm about to protest aloud when I stop myself; we're on the road to forgiveness and moving on, I need to get on board. Even if the thought of me walking around London with a security guard seems pretentious and ridiculous.
• "Okay, if that's what you think is best" I give him a gently smile as my hands lightly play with his curls. His body moves slightly closer towards me as he nods. The discussion feels like it's reached a natural stopping point, but with Rhodes you never know. I decide to try and lighten the mood, stretching my torso upwards and pulling his head downwards to press a soft kiss to his lips. Though he doesn't kiss me back, I continue to press little kisses across his stubble. I can feel his stress melting away as I continue to run my hands through his hair and press my lips against his skin. I pull my head back slightly and brush my nose against his.
• "Stop being cute I'm still mad at you" He says gruffly, but I'm not convinced. I let out a slight giggle in response and hook one of my legs around him, pulling his body closer to me. I continue to press light kisses across his face before I trail my lips up to his ear, gently nipping at the lobe. Rhodes sighs gently as his hands remove themselves from the counter and are placed on my hips, softly rubbing the skin underneath my sweater with his thumb.
