Accidentally All of Meย ย ย Whatever It Takes
HarryJust like that, it was done, and I was sitting there in the middle of this room with all eyes on me as everyone tried to work out what to say next.โAllison, why donโt you take a seat?โ Winston suggested.She sank down into one of the chairs nearby and finally looked at me. She seemed exhausted, as though she had been peeled clean of all her energy by whatever it was that had happened to bring us all together.โCould we get a moment?โ she asked.I glanced at Michael and Yara to let them know that I would more than capable of handling this by myself. Everyone else filed out of the room and left Allison, the boy, and me all alone together.โThis is Nico,โ she said to me after a long pause. โHeโs... well, I know you wonโt believe me until you get the results back, but heโs your son.โโI believe you,โ I murmured, and I reached out to touch his cheek.She smiled as soon as she saw us connect. I wondered how many times she had imagined this or if she had hoped that she was going to be

RainaโHey, Harry.โIs that what I sounded like? My voice echoed around my head, and I tried to keep myself from slamming the phone down and forgetting this whole thing. I didnโt want to have to do this, but I didnโt see what choice I had. I was worried about him, and I needed to hear his voice again before I lost my damn mind. I took a deep breath and forced myself to keep talking.โHey, Harry,โ I repeated. โI just wanted to check that you got my message the other day. I miss you. I wanted you to know that Iโm thinking about you, and I canโt wait to see you again.โI paused for a moment. Was that enough? It was going to have to be. Before I could talk myself into more of a corner, I hung up the phone and slumped against the wall outside the clinic. It was done. I had done it. Now I just had to find some way to get on with the rest of my day without my head exploding.I knew that I was overreacting. It had just been a few days since I had heard from him last, and he had to be crazy bu

RainaSpeaking of the man I loved, a moment later, he emerged from the kitchen and gave me a kiss on the cheek in greeting. Winnie pulled away, dashing off with Tink to give us some privacy.โGood to see you,โ he murmured, and he brushed his nose against mine.I felt like my knees were going to quiver out from beneath me. I couldnโt believe that we had only been apart for a few days. It felt like my body was responding to him as though it had known him forever, and we hadnโt spent a second apart in that time.I supposed the last time I had been here, we had been getting down to something that was far from totally family-friendly, so maybe my body was just hoping that we were going to pick up right where we had left off. I could remember making my way around his kitchen, wrapped in his shirt, his arms around me as we nuzzled and flirted.But that was before. Before all of this had started. Before our lives had changed beyond anything that we could have predicted. And I had to accept th

HarryAs soon as Iโd heard her voice on the message, Iโd known that she was hurting as much as I was.I had managed to restrain my anger over all of this well enough until that moment. I knew there was no point in getting angry, but that wasnโt going to stop me, not when it felt like there was so damn much on the line and so little control given to me over the lot of it.I was just angry that I felt like all of this was spinning out of control again, when it had just started to fall into place for a change.I had been nervous about seeing Raina. In fact, I was worried that she wasnโt going to want anything to do with me ever again. I already came with a lot of baggage, and this was just another stack of suitcases to add to the pile I was already heaving around everywhere I went.It wouldnโt have surprised me if she had just thrown her hands up in the air and backed off, leaving me to cope with all of this by myself. I would have felt a little cheated, sure, but this wasnโt what she ha

HarryI shook my head. โAllison was struggling to keep up with the payment for her treatment, as well as treatment for an immune system thing that he has. Thatโs why she reached out to me. She needs the support. Financial, I think more than anything, but thereโs also the fear that if she...โI trailed off and forced myself to take a deep breath. Though the circumstances couldnโt have been more different, this was stirring up some sad memories of what had happened to my sister.โIf she didnโt make it,โ I continued, forcing myself to keep speaking, โthen she would need someone to be there to take care of him for her.โRaina nodded slowly, taking it all in. I couldnโt imagine how much this all was for her. Hell, it was still a lot for me, and I was just starting to put the pieces together again inside my own head after spending days wandering around all listless with no clue what I was going to do with my life now that this revelation had come and kicked my door in.โSo you might have to

RainaโLizzie left me.โMy jaw almost dropped when I heard Reed tell me exactly why he had such a miserable look on his face. I had been so happy when Iโd gotten there that it had taken me a while to realize that my twin looked seriously maudlin. Although when Iโd asked him to spill, this was the last thing Iโd expected.โLizzie left you?โ I asked, sure that I must have heard at least some of it wrong.He nodded and fiddled with the spoon next to his coffee cup. He had hardly touched his drink, but it looked like he could have used it. There were dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had been up all night.โShe said that she didnโt think we were going to be a good match at the end of the day,โ he explained, and his voice was so small and so written with hurt that I felt a rising wave of anger rush through me. Sure, I had never been Lizzieโs biggest fan, but that didnโt mean that she got to just hurt my brother like that.โWell, her loss,โ I told him firmly, and I got

RainaWhen it came time for me to leave, I headed straight down to Reedโs office, wondering how he had managed to get through the day without losing his mind. I had had a hard enough time keeping focused when Harry was just failing to reply to my texts. I couldnโt imagine how useless I would have been for anyone or anything if he had actually dumped me.Ugh. I couldnโt even think about that without feeling a little jolt of panic running through my system. I was so glad that we had worked things out. I knew there was still a lot to handle going forward, but I had every confidence that we could do it, as long as we were both still there and committed and willing.But tonight wasnโt about me and Harry. It was about Reed, and I helped him out of the office and back to his apartment while he tried to half-engage with the conversation I was keeping him in. His brain was still so obviously stuffed full of Lizzie, of what had happened between them.I wished I could reach inside and lift it al

HarryโAll right, buddy, you go hang with your friends,โ I murmured to Tink as I sent him through to the office so he could spend time with the rest of the dogs who were visiting us on this particular Friday.It was going to be the first full day I had spent at work since I had heard the news about Allison and Nico. Yara had been holding down the fort here for me while I was away, but I knew I couldnโt keep hiding from it. At least I had chosen a Friday to come in so that I could enjoy the presence of all the other dogs too.Yara pounced on me practically the moment she spotted me in my office. Darting in, she closed the door behind her and raised her eyebrows at me.โSo, how did the meeting with Raina go?โ she asked with interest. She had known how nervous I was about it, but as it turned out, Iโd had no reason to be.โIt went well,โ I replied with a nod. โI told her everything about Allison and Nico, and she seemed to take it pretty well. I know this must be intense for her, but she

Accidentally All of Meย ย ย Everything is Better with Her
HarryI hadnโt known until Iโd 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 Meย ย ย Party Time
HarryโAll right, all right, if I could borrow your attention for a moment.โ 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 organizeโand 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 couldnโt 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.

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 didnโt hold back. He didnโt 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 himโthough, that was a part of itโbut 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

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, Iโd known that it wasnโt up for debate. Harry had a damn good reason to want to see me, and I certainly wasnโt 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.โThanks for coming,โ he murmured, and he pushed the door shut behind me.โYou going to make it worth my while?โ 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 didnโt 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 didnโt seem to care much.He stripped me off like

HarryโI was thinking more along the lines of a party than a bonus,โ I replied to Yara. โDogs allowed, of course.โโWell, when you put it like thatโฆโ She laughed. โWhere were you thinking?โI scanned my brain for a moment and then landed on the perfect place.โLet me get in touch with George,โ I replied. โI bet heโd love to have an excuse to do up his mansion.โโYou really think heโd be willing to hand all that over for a company party?โ she asked.I nodded. โYouโd be surprised at how mellow he can be,โ I replied. โBesides, think of all the women heโll get to flirt with. Itโll be a dream come true for him.โโI guess so,โ she agreed, shaking her head fondly at the thought. โYou give him a call, and Iโll see what else I can pull in, all right? But Iโm sure everyone would appreciate the chance to have some fun. Especially if our dogs are allowed to be there too.โI 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 Meย ย ย 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 wouldnโt 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 couldnโt get enough of. But the day had been a wild success, and I knew that it wouldnโt 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.

RainaโThank you for getting all of this set up,โ I told Harry. โYou have no idea how much this is going to help get people to start taking notice of the shelter.โโWell, itโs what you deserve,โ he replied. โYouโve worked so hard here for so long. I wanted to do what I could to make it easier on you.โI kissed him again. โYou know, youโre way sweeter than you have any right to be,โ I murmured.He grinned. โIs that an insult or a compliment? I canโt tell.โโYou decide,โ 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.โOh, howโs my favorite baby?โ 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. โOh my goodness, I think Iโm in a lot of danger being here,โ she remarked as Marjorie emerged from the back room with a couple of lively

Everyone whoโs coming today has already been vetted, you remember? So anyone who goes home with a pet, theyโre going to be a good home for them.โโI know that,โ Marjorie said. โIโm just... I donโt know if Iโm ready to say goodbye to all these little guys after all this time.โโDonโt get all misty on me now,โ I warned her. โWe 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 itโll be to have the space so that you donโt have to worry about turning down anyone who needs a home, right?โโRight,โ she agreed, and she nodded and tappe
