Me: Wtf.

Me: You changed my name. 

Sir: Good morning, Mrs. Roy. 

Unbelievable. I ignore the way my heart feels a little thrill, knowing he’s publicly claimed me. 

Me: Marking your territory?  

Sir: Now everyone will know you belong to me.

Gah! I knew it. I add a few angry emojis to my next message. 

Me: Everyone will think we’re married.

Sir: Exactly.

Is he serious? 

Me: I’m changing it back. Enjoy it while it lasts

Sir: I will

I can feel his smugness radiating from my phone.  
I text him: I thought you were going to back off. 

Sir: Never

A minute ago, I felt like I lost everyone I’ve ever gotten close to. But here’s Rex reminding me he won’t leave. It warms me through, more than I can say. Biting my lip, I shoot back a reply.

Me: Maybe I wanted you to take my last name.

Sir: That can be arranged.

Sir: Shall we hyphenate? 

Despite myself, a smile comes to my face. It’s just so ridiculous.

Sir: Roy-Ramos has a nice ring to it.   

Me: NO.

Me: We’re not changing our names. We’re not married.

Sir: I have paperwork that says otherwise.

Did he really file for a marriage license? No. He has to be bluffing. 

Me: Get ready for the fastest divorce in history.

I love books! I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading until the wee hours. Books were my refuge. I was delighted to discover tree climbing. I would take a book and climb to the top of a Mimosa tree and read for hours...and of course ignore my mother calling for me to do chores. I was committed to reading all of the Nancy Drew stories. Ned was my first book boyfriend. When I was in my early teens I discovered Harlequin romances. I feel in love and it changed my life. I was in love with Love 💕 That’s something for a girl who hadn’t been kissed yet. When I read “he thrust his throbbing member into her womanhood” I was lost to discovering more about this particular brand of romance. But I don’t just enjoy romance reads. My father-in-law introduced me to the high fantasy genre and I loved it. When I bought my first Nook the world of books really took me by surprise. I was enthralled with all the available genres and to my delight I discovered erotica. In most cases, I was with family on visits to bookstores and you don’t peruse those even if they carried them. Oh the shame of it! ;) Thanks to Nancy Drew I still enjoy mysteries along with romance, fantasy, erotica, paranormal, steampunk, thrillers, and well, most anything except a horror of a horror. My favorite might be romance suspense but it’s hard for me to pick just one. I had a serious health issue a few years ago and was forced to quite working after building a career I could be proud of. It was devastating and depressing. I lost myself in books and now spend my days (and nights) reading. I am so appreciative of authors and the wonderful storytelling I’ve found in books. It takes me away from my troubles and introduces me into a world like no other. I love books!
