“We’ll have to remedy that later.”
He slid his arm around her waist and pulled her into his side. “I plan to. We don’t have to stay too late tonight.”
Molly faked a yawn and grinned at him. “I was thinking we could head back to the cabin before the party tonight—maybe take a little nap.”
He slid his hand down and squeezed her ass. “I like the way you think.”
She laughed. “I thought you might. And I like the way you—” She stopped herself from saying the next word at the sight of his mom appearing at his shoulder.
“Carino.” She looked pointedly at Marcos’ hand which was now back around Molly’s waist, but which she’d obviously seen moments earlier.
“Yes, Mom?” Marcos grinned at her. “Is there a problem? Something you want to say?”
She laughed. “No. I’m happy to see the two of you so close.”
Molly felt the heat in her cheeks. She loved Sofia, but it was still a little embarrassing.
Marcos put an arm around his mom’s shoulders and dropped a kiss on top of her head. “I know, and soon, I hope to make you even happier, but we can’t stay to chat. We were just leaving.”
Sofia laughed. “Of course, you were. Go. Enjoy. And don’t forget to come back tonight.” She kissed Molly on both cheeks and grinned at her. “I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him—but make him work for it.”
Molly had to laugh. She’d missed Sofia, and she’d missed all the love and laughter that came with the Di Giovanni family.

By Sunday lunchtime, Marcos felt as though his heart was about to be torn from his chest. They’d had a great time at the party last night—and even better times before and after it when they’d gone back to the cabin and continued to get reacquainted with each other physically. They’d had fun with everyone this morning at the brunch and sending Cameron and Piper off on their honeymoon and to begin their married life. Watching the newlyweds wave to the crowd of friends and family who’d gathered outside the lodge to watch them drive away, Marcos would have given anything for it to be him and Molly getting into the car with all the tin cans tied to the bumper.
He sighed. Instead, they were back here at the resort, and he was standing off to one side while Molly checked out. He had to have her back at the airport in half an hour, and he didn’t want to let her go. It was only a week until he’d join her—maybe less, if he could sort everything out that he needed to.
“Hey.”
He looked up and smiled when he saw Ben approaching. “Are you leaving?”
Marcos shook his head. “Molly is. I’m going to stay until the end of the week to take care of some business.”
Ben smiled. “I bet you won’t last all week.”
Marcos nodded. “You could be right. I know the resort does property management for vacation rentals, but do you do anything for empty properties? Keep an eye on them while people are away?”
Ben chuckled. “We can. I can add your place to the list if you like. One of our guys checks all the unoccupied rentals every day, just does a walkthrough to make sure there are no issues.”
“That’d be great. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I’m hoping Molly and I will come up for weekends and to get away sometimes, but I don’t know how often, and I don’t want to rent it out.”
“No, I get that. I’ll just add you to the list of property checks.”
“Thanks, Ben. I appreciate it.”
Molly got finished up at the desk and came to join them with a smile. “Thanks again for the cabin,” she said to Ben with a smile. “It was amazing.”
Marcos had to hide his smile—it really had been amazing in the bed, the shower, on the front deck, on the sofa, they’d had all kinds of amazing.
“It was my pleasure,” said Ben.
Molly caught Marcos’ eye and then looked away quickly with a smile. He knew she was thinking the same thing he was—the pleasure had been all theirs.
“I can’t stop. I need to get into the office and take care of a few things and then I have to get home. I try not to work Sundays anymore. It’s supposed to be Charlie’s and my day.”
“I’m glad things worked out for the two of you in the end.”
