Dermot's pov
I was in my office going through some reports for the day, it is long overdue anyway. I needed to check in with my assistants about the performance tests gave them last week. With the whole real marriage thing, I haven't been focused enough, my thoughts are constantly filled with the happiness that I have felt for the past few days.
Being with Carter made me smile a lot, and it made me long for something that I have never wanted, Love.
I wanted him to love me for who I am, for the real me, and not the fake Devlin. I want him to look into my eyes and see me, Dermot. The woman he was attracted to. We have been joined at the hip, I could remember clearly when he said he would protect me in his fierce voice.
I didn't want him to kill anyone for me but if it comes down to it then I wouldn't hesitate to run to him if the situation comes. I scribbled something on the report, barely paying attention to what I am writing.
