As long as she was still kissing him, he wasn't inclined to fight. 'Soon' would have to be soon enough—between both of their jobs, it was unlikely that there would be an opportunity to plan for a specific time or day. Finnian had long stopped caring about his reputation considering what society already thought of his brother and cousins, but he could at least understand Mrs. Bones' hesitations.
"Don't worry about me," he murmured, his lips trailing across her jawline as he leaned her smaller body against his. "I'm a Connolly whether I wear the name or not. I'm used to the rumors." Not that he would subject her children to it simply because he was used to it.
He kissed her softly, gently once more before finally pulling away, separating their bodies by a good arm-length. He could hear footsteps in the corridor outside Mrs. Bones' office, which meant he needed to get out before he was noticed. Any attempts to protect their reputations would be soiled if they were caught here and now, and he so wanted to see her again.
"But I'll find a way. I always do," he said, a wide, Finny-ish grin across her lips.
