can t do the celibate thing much longer.
Honesty rocked. Me neither. The ring on her finger didn t sparkle so much as
weigh her digit down.
It s a promise ring.
Of more cheap plastic to come?

Of a life together.
That sounded good. You have silver tongue. Drusilla dropped to her knees.
Cormack opened his arms in welcome. Let me use it then.
Snuggled against him, his hot body soothing hers, there was only one thing Drusilla
wanted to do. Let s go to bed.
Yes, ma am. Cormack sounded keen to do that. He rose to his feet and tugged on
her arm.
To sleep. Drusilla was so weary with spent emotion that the thought of sex, while
fantastic, seemed all too hard at that moment.
Cormack lifted her into his arms, cradling her close to his chest. Seriously?
Yeah. I m knackered. Ever since I ve met you I ve had the worst sleep. But at that
moment, in his arms, she felt relaxed and relieved. It was probably not flattering for a
man to have a woman fall asleep on him but now Drusilla knew where she stood in his
life, she felt all the built-up tension release.
I blame Arthur for this. Cormack shook his head in amusement. He brought us
together.
Drusilla knew she was probably the first woman who genuinely wanted to sleep
with Cormack. He was taking it pretty well. His cock was hard but not his heart. She
loved that about him. Cormack understood her.
Maybe that s what your next column can be about.
Arthur?
Yeah forget about roses and chocolates give a goldfish for Valentine s Day.
You re delirious.
And you re delicious.
Come with me. Cormack carried her to the bedroom.
Maybe later.
Cormack chuckled. This is not what I had in mind.

hours.
Deal.

Epilogue
Set in Stone by Cormack Flint
Friday, 4:49 p.m.
This will be my last column as a single man. For all of those who have said my fiancée is too
good for me you are right. For those of you who are worried I will lose my edge that will
never happen. I ll still write columns to piss people off. It s what I do. I expect I will annoy my
new bride and I will pay the penalty. But she is one of the few people I have ever met who can
face me down and make me a better man. I like that. I love her.
A year ago if you had asked me about the perfect woman I would have rattled off the
standard male formula and I would have been wrong. But love changes everything and any
delusions I had are now gone. One thing I know for certain is set in stone love is forever.
I like it, especially the part about me being too good for you. Drusilla spun the
plastic ring around on her finger. Cormack had offered to buy her the real thing but she
liked the one she had. It freaked people out when they asked to see the ring . They
looked at her and then at Cormack and wondered. Let em. Drusilla did not feel the need
to explain herself to anyone but the man she loved and even then she did so only when
it suited her. A woman still had to maintain her secrets.
Cormack took her left hand in his. I worry about your finger going green and
dropping off.
Will you still love me if that happens?
Will I have a choice? He grinned at her.
Nope.

Pet Me
Then I will love you forever, Cormack told her softly.
Correct response. Drusilla sighed. All was right in her world.
