Accidentally All of Me Taking Him Home
RainaIt was clear from the way Frankie was gazing at him that she was thoroughly enjoying his presence there, especially since it wasn’t like we got a lot of hot guys hanging out around these parts. I felt a little swell of protectiveness. He was mine, wasn’t he? At least, that was what I thought. Even though I had turned him down for that second date, even though I was only seeing him again because he wanted a dog...“Frankie, could you get all the adoption papers we need ready?” I asked, and she nodded, not taking her eyes off Harry for a single moment. It was like cartoon hearts were pumping in her eyes. She couldn’t have made it much more obvious if she tried. But then, I supposed I could hardly claim that I was the best at playing it super cool.Frankie shuffled the papers together and then handed them off to Harry. She eyed him as he filled out the forms in front of him, and when she saw him write his name down, it looked like her eyes were going to bug right out of her head.“
Accidentally All of Me Filling Her In
Harry“All right, buddy, let’s see what everyone at work makes of you, shall we?” I murmured as I helped Tink out of the car and onto the sidewalk. I had no idea how people were going to react to me bringing a dog into the office, but hey, my place, my rules, right? I could do whatever I wanted. In theory.Besides, when I had been heading out for work that morning and Winnie had been getting ready for school, I thought she was going to burst into tears when I told her that I would be leaving Tink home alone for a few hours.“I’ll come back at my lunch hour and take him for a walk,” I’d assured her. “You don’t have anything to worry about, okay?”“But what if he gets lonely or sad?” she’d demanded, and she’d squeezed him into a tight hug and hit me with a hard look.“He’ll be fine—”“Can you take him into work with you?” she’d pleaded. “Just for today? I don’t want him hanging around all by himself.”I sighed but conceded the point. She probably was right, after all. We had just taken
Accidentally All of Me Life is Better with a Dog
Harry“Well, you wouldn’t have gotten your hands on this dog without me, for one,” Yara pointed out. “If I hadn’t set you up on that date...”“Hey, I think you underestimate the convincing powers of my niece,” I replied. “I’m sure she’d have gotten me to give in some time or another.”“Nonetheless, I’m taking full responsibility for this,” she said as she leaned down to give Tink another cuddle. “Which means I get to see him whenever I want, right?”“Something like that,” I agreed. “Though you’re going to have to fight Winnie for him. She’s already treating him like her little baby. I don’t think you’re going to have an easy time getting through her to get your hands on him.”“Bring it on,” Yara said with a grin. “She’s little. I’ll win. Anyway, I’m going to go get on this shelter and see what I can set up. You take care of this little guy for me, okay? I’ll be back to see him as soon as I get the chance.”“See you,” I said, and with that, she headed out to leave me to the rest of my
Accidentally All of Me A Message
RainaAs I packed up my stuff for the day, I heard my phone buzz where I had left it in my pocket. I turned to check who it was, clicking open the message that was waiting for me in my inbox, and I couldn’t help but beam happily when I saw who was waiting for me.A picture of Winnie and Tink curled up on the couch together. It looked like the two of them were both passed out asleep. I pressed my lips together and smiled. Gosh, they looked like they couldn’t have been any happier if they had tried. It filled me with joy to see two such sweet little things who had been through so very much taking care of one another. This was how the universe worked sometimes, it seemed, bringing together those who needed each other most.The picture came with a note. Thank you for this. They’ve both tired each other out. I think he’s going to fit in just fine. I smiled down at the message. It was the first I had heard from Harry since the day he had come in and picked out Tink to take home with him, a
Accidentally All of Me Bending Over Backward
RainaThe food was good, and the conversation flowed, and I managed to keep it, for the most part, away from my dating life, much to my relief. Even though Reed poked and pried a little, I deflected his questions. I doubted he wanted to hear the answers to them anyway. He was just trying to find an excuse to set me up again, and there was no way in hell that I was allowing him to do that.After a while, the conversation turned to Lizzie’s work, and we chatted a little about her current case, something for some big business who were suing an even bigger business for their troubles. Something to do with infringement on a copyright. I really didn’t follow the story that well, but I nodded along anyway.“These people need to get a grip on reality,” Reed remarked, shaking his head. “Focus on what really matters in life.”“Yes, but then where would I get my work from?” Lizzie reminded him with a chuckle.“Yeah, that’s a good point,” he conceded. “But we all can’t be Harry Porters, can we?”
Accidentally All of Me An Excuse
Harry“Hey, boss, you got a minute?”I looked up from what I was working on and found Henry, one of the accountants, standing in the doorway. I could hear the shuffle of more footsteps behind him, so I knew that it was more than just him out there.“What’s up?” I asked. I had sent out a memo earlier in the day announcing that dogs would be welcome in the office every Friday, and I hadn’t heard much of a response about it so far. I assumed that everyone would be cool with the idea, but perhaps some people had allergies that I didn’t know about and were going to protest.“We just wanted to say thanks for the memo,” he said, and he glanced around and jerked his head at the people behind him. A moment later, the door opened, and a stream of about a half dozen of my employees entered the room.“You have no idea how much it means to us that you’re going to let dogs in here,” Mary, another head of department, told me with a huge smile. “My baby, she’s such a help with my anxiety. It’s going
Accidentally All of Me Did She Change Her Mind?
HarryI followed her into the room, and she talked through what she was doing with Winnie every step of the way. Winnie had been a little freaked out about handing over her new best buddy to someone that she hardly knew, but now that she was actually watching it unfold in front of her, she seemed to have calmed down a little bit.I was pleased to see how well she was holding herself together. I had been worried that she would be too protective of her little furry friend to think straight, but she was doing a great job. And it helped that Raina was so patient with her, took her time so carefully to make sure she understood every little thing that was going on. By the time she was done with this, I would practically have been able to perform the operation myself.“And it looks like everything is exactly where it needs to be,” Raina finished up. Her voice was so smooth and so confident that I had found myself tuning out of the actual details of what she was saying and focusing instead on
Accidentally All of Me Calling It In
RainaAs soon as I made it to the shelter once more, Frankie practically dived out of the staff area and accosted me with a giant hug.“Hey, what’s all this about?” I asked, laughing as I pulled back from her. Any other day, I might have been a little put off by how forward she was being, but right then and there, I was in such a good mood I didn’t even mind.“Come on, Marjorie will show you,” she replied, and she gestured for me to come on through to the staffroom.I furrowed my brow, trying to figure out what the heck was going on here, but as soon as I stepped into the slightly rundown staff area, I knew it had to be something good.“Marjorie, what’s up?” I asked the woman who ran the shelter. She had one hand clasped to her chest, and in the other, she was holding a phone that she was gazing down at with something like joy.“What’s going on?” I pressed her again, not sure that she could hear me through the shock of whatever it was that she was taking in.“We just got a huge donati

Accidentally All of Me Everything is Better with Her
HarryI hadn’t known until I’d met Raina how much I was hiding from, but now that I could see it, it made my heart ache to think about everything that I had been missing. I thought I had been protecting myself, but in reality, it had just been isolation.Yara had seen that. I was pretty sure, in fact, that she had seen that before I had. I had been ducking and diving from the truth, and she had seen through me, seen me for what I was, seen all the pain I had been carrying with me all this time. And that was why she had set me up on a date.It was crazy, really, thinking that all of this had started with something that I had been so averse to in the first place. I had pushed back against the very idea of going on that date, sure that it was just going to end with me making a fool of myself and looking like an idiot in the process.Of course, if I had known where all of this was going to lead me, I would have gone back in time and told myself to go with it, that it was going to be bette
Accidentally All of Me Party Time
Harry“All right, all right, if I could borrow your attention for a moment.” I stood up from the chair I had been sitting on and waved a hand in the air so that I could draw the attention of my staff and friends around me.Yara had done a hell of a job putting all of this together. It had only been a couple of weeks ago that I had brought up the idea of the party to her, and she had sprung into full-force action at once, running off this way and that to make sure everything got dealt with as best she could manage it.She told me she was just happy to finally have some kind of party she could organize—and said I could do with throwing a few more like it, actually, though I decided it was for the best that I ignored that little comment. I had been so busy these last few months, I couldn’t imagine finding any more time in my packed-out schedule for fun little gatherings like this.It had helped, of course, that George had been willing to put up his house and grounds to hold the party. We
Accidentally All of Me Deep Love
RainaHe wrapped his arms around me and pushed into me deep, filling me all the way up to the hilt, taking me like there was nothing in the world he would rather have been doing in that moment. I sank my nails into his back and let my body sink into the sheets below me, the softness absorbing me, at odds with his hardness.He didn’t hold back. He didn’t seem to see a need to, and I was grateful for it. After everything that had been happening lately, I felt like I needed this connection with him to remind myself where this all came from.Not that he was so good in bed that I would have gone through anything for him—though, that was a part of it—but it was a raw thing that existed between just us. Nobody could take it away from us, no matter how much they might have wanted to. This was ours and only ours, and we had made it together, and that meant nothing could change it.I could already feel myself getting close. It was the feel of his breath on my neck that did it for me, his essent
Accidentally All of Me Celebrating in Bed
RainaI had no idea why he was so eager for me to cancel on Reed that morning, but as soon as I had heard the tone in his voice, I’d known that it wasn’t up for debate. Harry had a damn good reason to want to see me, and I certainly wasn’t going to argue with it.As soon as he opened the door to his place, I knew what was running through his head. I grinned as he pulled me into his arms and kissed me deeply, like he was making the very most of the fact that I was here.“Thanks for coming,” he murmured, and he pushed the door shut behind me.“You going to make it worth my while?” I replied playfully.He scooped me off the ground and into his arms. I burst out laughing and hung on to him as he carried me up the stairs and toward the bedroom.He tossed me down on the bed, and it didn’t take long before our clothes went flying. I was wearing the scrubs that I would have to take into the office soon enough, so hardly my sexiest look, but he didn’t seem to care much.He stripped me off like
Accidentally All of Me More Shocking News
Harry“I was thinking more along the lines of a party than a bonus,” I replied to Yara. “Dogs allowed, of course.”“Well, when you put it like that…” She laughed. “Where were you thinking?”I scanned my brain for a moment and then landed on the perfect place.“Let me get in touch with George,” I replied. “I bet he’d love to have an excuse to do up his mansion.”“You really think he’d be willing to hand all that over for a company party?” she asked.I nodded. “You’d be surprised at how mellow he can be,” I replied. “Besides, think of all the women he’ll get to flirt with. It’ll be a dream come true for him.”“I guess so,” she agreed, shaking her head fondly at the thought. “You give him a call, and I’ll see what else I can pull in, all right? But I’m sure everyone would appreciate the chance to have some fun. Especially if our dogs are allowed to be there too.”I texted George as soon as she was gone, and he replied with an almost instant affirmation that promised me use of the house w
Accidentally All of Me A Gift
HarryI reached under the table and patted Tink where he was asleep at my feet. He might not have known it, but he was the reason that all of this weekend had been such a huge success.Without him, I would never have come across the shelter, and without that, I wouldn’t have been able to put together the awesome event that we had thrown the day before. It had been hectic as hell, but totally worth it, and I was proud to say that we had helped find homes for more than seventy animals over the course of the day.By the time it was over, Winnie was dead asleep in the back of the car with Tink, and George had to be dragged away from Nico, who he just couldn’t get enough of. But the day had been a wild success, and I knew that it wouldn’t be the only one that we had with the shelter.But for now, I was back at work, and I had to focus on catching up on everything that I had missed the last few weeks. Fuck, it had been so busy, I had hardly had time to remember that I so much as had a job.
Accidentally All of Me Happy Tears
Raina“Thank you for getting all of this set up,” I told Harry. “You have no idea how much this is going to help get people to start taking notice of the shelter.”“Well, it’s what you deserve,” he replied. “You’ve worked so hard here for so long. I wanted to do what I could to make it easier on you.”I kissed him again. “You know, you’re way sweeter than you have any right to be,” I murmured.He grinned. “Is that an insult or a compliment? I can’t tell.”“You decide,” I replied, and it was right then that I saw Rita and her son coming through the door. She had promised to put in an appearance, and she beamed as soon as she saw me.“Oh, how’s my favorite baby?” I greeted him with a coo, and I came over to hold him in my arms for just a moment.Rita handed him over to me at once, apparently glad to have a chance to put him down, if only for a moment. “Oh my goodness, I think I’m in a lot of danger being here,” she remarked as Marjorie emerged from the back room with a couple of lively
Accidentally All of Me Clear the Shelter
Raina“All right, do you have all the forms ready?” I asked Marjorie as the two of us practically sprinted around the shelter, trying to get everything ready for the adopt-a-thon that was meant to be happening today.She nodded. “I think so,” she replied, but she was clearly nervous.I put my hand on her shoulder. “Hey,” I soothed her. “Everything’s going to be fine. Everyone who’s coming today has already been vetted, you remember? So anyone who goes home with a pet, they’re going to be a good home for them.”“I know that,” Marjorie said. “I’m just... I don’t know if I’m ready to say goodbye to all these little guys after all this time.”“Don’t get all misty on me now,” I warned her. “We have to make space for other animals, remember? I want to make sure that we get as many of these guys off to new homes as we can. Think how good it’ll be to have the space so that you don’t have to worry about turning down anyone who needs a home, right?”“Right,” she agreed, and she nodded and tappe
Accidentally All of Me Sharing the Great News
Harry“I had my lawyer draw up these agreements,” she explained.Michael lifted his head from the papers that he had been going over. He nodded, looking satisfied with what he had seen.“Everything seems like it’s in order to me,” he remarked. “Harry, if you want to take a little more time to go over these and think about the decision, we can hang on to them for you—”“No, I’m ready,” I replied. I was dead certain. Nothing was going to change my mind. Nothing at all. I was happier than I’d been in such a long time. We had the house, I had Raina, and now, it looked like I was going to have my precious, perfect son on top of all of it. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Not one little thing.“Thank you for this, Allison,” I said. “Thank you for trusting me with him.”“Thank you for letting us into your life after all this time,” she replied. “I know it’s more than I deserve. I know you’re being kinder than you should ever be with me—”“You never have to think like that,” I told he
