“That’s a big commitment,” she pointed out. “Not just for me personally, but for us, too.”
“I’m aware of that,” I nodded. “And shockingly, that doesn’t scare me.”
“It might once we’re living on top of one another.”
“It sounds to me like you are the one that’s scared,” I told Molly.
She smiled guiltily.
“Are you?” I asked.
“Well, maybe a little,” I said. “I’ve been dreaming about us for years, Tristan. And now that’s my dreams have become a reality, it’s hard to wrap my head around it.”
“You’ll get used to it,” I told her softly, kissing her on the forehead. It amazed me how easily those familiar little intimacies came to me, as though I were a veteran at relationships.
Molly stretched and got out of bed, pulling the sheets with her. I could see the faint outline of her body through the thin fabric and felt myself harden slightly. If it weren’t for the fact that I had a hundred things to get done before the ribbon cutting ceremony, I would have pulled her back into bed and made her cum again. As it stood, I was already running late.
“Will you think about it?” I asked, getting out of bed myself.
Molly turned to me, and her blue eyes looked nervous and excited. “I’ll take the job.”
“Really?”
She nodded. “I’m not just taking the job because of us,” she said. “I’m taking it because I think I can actually do a good job at it. I think I can make your life, and Ben’s for that matter, a little easier.”
I smiled. “I know you will,” I nodded. “Guess it’s official then?”
“Guess it is,” she nodded.
I pulled her in for a quick hug. Then I drew back a little as another thought came to me. “Hey,” I said. “Will you open the ceremony with me this evening?”
“What?” she said as her eyes went wide.
“Come on,” I said. “It’ll be fun.”
“That is your moment, Tristan,” she insisted. “I wouldn’t want to steal your thunder.”
“You’d be sharing my thunder.”
“Still…”
“Come on,” I insisted. “I want you by my side.”
Molly bit her lip. “Are you sure?”
“A hundred percent.”
Her smile was slow in coming, but I saw the willingness on her face. “Okay,” she said. “I’ll open the ceremony with you.”
I smiled in triumph and kissed her hard on the lips. Then I grabbed her hand, and we headed to the bathroom together. We showered together quickly and helped each other dress. It was the hardest thing in the world to keep my desire in check, but I knew that would have to wait until tonight when the opening was behind us, and our responsibilities had been fulfilled.
We were walking towards my office together when Molly turned to me. There was a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “So, when are you planning on telling Jason about us?”
“Fuck,” I groaned.
She laughed. “Don’t worry; I doubt he’ll care.”
“What if he doesn’t take it well?” I said. “What if he flies over here just to kick my ass?”
