Summary
“I want you to stay away from Taggie,” Although Declan could often make light of a situation, it was clear that he was deathly serious as he caught Rupert staring at her. "She's young enough to be your daughter."
Rupert met his eyes; it was almost painful for him to pull them away from where Taggie stood, laughing with Seb about something that couldn’t have been that funny.
“Yeah, of course.” He gave a small nod of affirmation because there was decidedly nothing else he could say to the temperamental talk show host who showed him mercy that night.
Yes, it had been made quite known to Rupert that he was supposed to stay away from Taggie O’Hara. And, in his defense, he mostly bloody well had aside from a few chance encounters.
Like when he held her after his driver drove her car off the road. Or when he bought her a Faberge egg. Or when they were photographed campaigning together for the franchise and Declan lost his shit. Or, most recently, when he finally embraced and snogged the living daylights out of her in the kitchen of the Priory. Minor details.
The point was that Rupert had been doing the best he could.
