Chapter Five

~ Oliver ~

“Where are we going?” Chloe asked as the car headed toward the highway. “I live off of Ford Road in the other direction.”

“We’re going home,” I told her.

“Your home?”

“Our home,” I corrected. “I guarantee the shower is better.”

“I need clothes,” she argued.

“You never need clothes,” I assured her.

“Oliver!” Her gaze snapped toward the driver. “Behave yourself.”

“I thought I was,” I whispered, nuzzling against her neck. “You’re still dressed. Which I promise, if we were alone, you wouldn’t be.”

She giggled, shoving me back to my side of the car.

When I hadn’t been able to find her after the party, I’d been devastated…and kind of pissed. She’d gone to the bathroom then disappeared. I’d considered having some of my guys track her down but figured it would be more romantic if I did it myself. Once I found her, I’d promised I wouldn’t let her out of my sight again. In fact, I’d never admit it to her, but I’d sat in my car in front of the coffee shop for hours to ensure she wouldn’t slip away again.

“I’m serious,” Chloe said. “I can’t wear these stained clothes all night.”

“When we get to the house, you can give your sizes to Susan, my housekeeper, and she’ll be thrilled to go get you something.”

“I don’t understand what we’re doing here,” she blurted, her gaze dropping to her lap.

“We’re starting our life together,” I assured her. “Look, I know I’m being pushy, but from the moment I first held you, I’ve just had this burning need to keep you at my side. I don’t care if it’s conventional. I’m in love with you.”

“You don’t know me,” she challenged. “What if I’m just some money-grubbing gold digger after your fortune?”

“You can have it,” I answered with a shrug. “I’ll give you everything if it keeps you with me.”

“You really do love me?” She looked up at me, tears pooling in her beautiful eyes. “This is okay? Falling in love so quickly?”

“Everyone falls in love quickly,” I told her. “There just comes a moment in a relationship when you realize you’re in love. Does it matter if it’s a minute or a month? Does it change anything?”

She shook her head.

“Good. I’m glad we’ve straightened that out. No more running off?”

“No more running off,” she agreed.

“When do you want to get married?”

“Don’t push me,” she said with a small laugh. “I should warn you, I’m not a gold digger, but I do have a mountain of debt. I hit some hard times a while back, and I’m just starting to get back on my feet.” She blew out a sigh. “I remember my parents always used to fight about money when I was a kid. I don’t want to do that. I swore I’d never live my life like that. So, I don’t want to hide my troubles from you.”

“I’ll take care of you,” I said immediately. “What good is having a bunch of money if you can’t use it to help people you love?”

“That’s not what I mean.
