“I’m not sure if you’re ready.”
“Are you sure that’s not the other way around?” she mutters back.
“I don’t think we have the same things in mind,” I propose. “When you said tonight, I meant like the whole night.”
“Well…I do have until midnight.”
“Then what?”
Her fingers lace through my hair as she continues to stare right into my eyes. “Then I disappear.”
And as much as I’m thrilled by the idea that she shares the same sentiment as what I’m already thinking, it is what it is.
I’m not looking to date.
I don’t want to date.
I’m not even searching for someone to spend a little bit of time with.
Molly came through when I least expected it and served the purpose of helping me get through tonight without a flock of females being up my entire ass.
After this, there is no reason for me to call her up and ask her out again. I have my girls to worry about and the things I have going on in my career that keep me busy enough to not feel as though I’m missing something.
And I’m comfortable being in that spot right now.
Especially since having to suffer through this shit show. The last thing I want to do is have some woman calling me asking me where I’m at, who I’m with, and what I’m doing.
It was all Olivia used to do, even when I’d give her my schedule a week in advance so that she knew my every step to keep her paranoia at bay.
She still cheated.
And I’m never going to forgive her for that betrayal.
However, she’s someone else’s problem to deal with now and Molly is mine for tonight.
Only tonight.
I’d be a complete dumbass if I didn’t take full advantage of that.

MOLLY
Hewon’tbeherein the morning when I wake up.
Kai is the remnant of an emotionally broken man who had his heart ripped out once before—no one turns out like he is just because.
No, he has turmoil running through his veins and a sole purpose to be left alone. There is no underlying sugarcoating of what he offers. Kai isn’t a complicated man, but he’s one that doesn’t pose any bullshit and expects the same in return.
And this is all temporary.
All one and done.
I know that after learning more about him—and I’m using that phrase loosely—I won’t have a lot of time. Kai is the kind of guy who waltzes into your life by chance and makes you think of him from time to time.
And I decided to torture myself for the rest of my existence by inviting him to my place. Allowing him to take a piece of my brain and glue himself to it so that he can never leave.
But he really didn’t need to do that.
