CHAPTER THREE

OLIVER WASN’T A therapist or anything, but he knew Molly was hiding how sad she was. And while he didn’t want to pry about her breakup, he did want to know why she got that lost look on her face sometimes when they were talking. Mostly he wanted to be a good friend and help her, but if he ever got two minutes with her loser ex, it’d be the worst two minutes of that guy’s life. Oliver didn’t have many friends he trusted and the fact that someone had broken Molly’s heart infuriated him.

They’d taken the boat up the coast from Miami to West Palm Beach and back again, staying close to shore in case something went wrong, but so far it’d been, literally, smooth sailing. But the trip had given Oliver time to think. Seeing how hard she was trying to hide her sadness, he was anxious to know if that relationship was tying her to Colorado more than her job. His new company needed her vision. This venture was the biggest risk of his life and he wanted someone by his side that he could trust completely. And he trusted Molly with basically his life. She was just that kind of person.

Their first relationship had ended sooner than he’d wanted, but even if she hadn’t gotten her job in Colorado he would have had to end it sooner or later. Not because he would have wanted to, but because his parents would have ruined her life like they’d nearly ruined his. They were still trying to if he was honest; he’d just become better at fending them off. Something he’d continue to do if they ever came sniffing around Molly, which was a concern. He was keeping her isolated on his boat for now so his parents wouldn’t know what he was up to or how Molly fit into his new plans, because if they did they’d use her. Either pay her off to not help him, or threaten her own job, her family. He didn’t put it past his family to do whatever it took to make sure he returned to the firm and married the person they’d previously approved.

His main goal had always been to protect Molly, to insulate her from his real life while being able to bask in the fantasy world they’d created together when they were younger. Those were still some of his favorite times and ever since he’d given her up, he’d been trying to get back to a place where they could have that again. Or at least some version of it.

Which meant he needed to know just how scarred she was from her broken engagement because after two days with her, everything he’d loved about her was amplified. He was right back to wanting her, but struggling with giving her the time she needed to heal. It was just that the way she looked at him sometimes, like she wanted to jump him, he knew he couldn’t hold out for very long.
