    Summary

    You’re old enough to be her father. 

     

    Once, those words had reminded him to keep his distance. But in this moment, he could only think;

     

    She was old enough to be his wife.

     

    (She was going to be his wife, she just didn't know it yet.)

    .


    or: 
    Rupert cares more about what his heart wants than his friendship with Declan.

    Summary

    “Poor thing,” Lizzie’s voice is a slurred murmur in Rupert’s ear, her breath sweet with dessert wine. In his periphery, she nods to the object of his focus—his angel, smiling in the doorway as she watches Valerie Jones’ latest crop of victims moan over her chocolate torte. “She’s never had an orgasm, can you believe that?”

    “And at her age…” Rupert clicks his tongue and lifts Lizzie’s hand to his mouth. He brushes his lips over her knuckles in thanks for the ammunition she doesn’t even realize she’s handed him, grinning when she huffs and snatches it back. “Such a tragedy.”

    ———

    Taggie O’Hara doesn’t believe in the female orgasm.

    Or, she didn’t. Not until Lizzie Vereker popped into her kitchen one drizzly morning with a dozen cassette tapes and a Walkman. Now, with Lizzie’s audiobook romances to guide her, a bright new world opens up before Taggie: one where a woman’s pleasure isn’t just a well-acted bit of theater for a man’s enjoyment, but an attainable, desirable, real thing.

    Well, it would be if Taggie could just make it happen—with her hands, with a toy, with the corner of the Priory’s rickety old washing machine. Anything.

    Summary

    “I want you to stay away from Taggie,” Although Declan could often make light of a situation, it was clear that he was deathly serious as he caught Rupert staring at her. "She's young enough to be your daughter."

    Rupert met his eyes; it was almost painful for him to pull them away from where Taggie stood, laughing with Seb about something that couldn’t have been that funny.

    “Yeah, of course.” He gave a small nod of affirmation because there was decidedly nothing else he could say to the temperamental talk show host who showed him mercy that night.

    Yes, it had been made quite known to Rupert that he was supposed to stay away from Taggie O’Hara. And, in his defense, he mostly bloody well had aside from a few chance encounters.

    Like when he held her after his driver drove her car off the road. Or when he bought her a Faberge egg. Or when they were photographed campaigning together for the franchise and Declan lost his shit. Or, most recently, when he finally embraced and snogged the living daylights out of her in the kitchen of the Priory. Minor details.

    The point was that Rupert had been doing the best he could.
