I just don’t know if I can give her everything she needs in return. That she fully and truly deserves.
However, it’s not going to prevent me from keeping her.
No matter how selfish it may be.

MOLLY
CHAPTEREIGHTEEN
MOLLY
“Hello?”
“Hi, is this Molly Ryland?”
I glower at the coffee table in the living room, annoyed because I normally don’t answer numbers I don’t recognize but I’m ready to tell someone off today.
It’s Kai’s fault.
The man isconstantlyin my bed or dragging me to his, fucking me until I can’t keep my eyes open, and then I wake up cranky.
His response—slapping my ass and telling me to go drink some coffee.
An asshole response, but it was his way of telling me that he isn’t going to stop and that I better learn to suit up because this man has the stamina of I don’t know what.
Nothing comes to mind that even compares to him.
“Yeah,” I deadpan, already about to pop off if she starts trying to sell me something. Plus, I’m not feeling too well, but I haven’t eaten anything so I’m likely just hangry.
“This is Aprille Martinez fromBlue Bird Blog. I sent you an email about two weeks ago or more about a job position I wanted to offer.”
Yeah, I didn’t respond because I didn’t want it.
“How can I help you?” I ask through a clenched jaw because I’mstillnot going to take it.
Sure, it’s a writing job. But it’s not going to pay me what I need to live on. I’d have to climb the ladder again and I’m definitely fine where I’m at now that I have benefits that she can’t offer me.
Kai’s cock.
“Yes, well…I wanted to do a follow-up. I was so interested in your pieces that I was hoping I was going to hear from you.” I open my mouth to promptly turn her down, but she tacks on, “But, you know how it is, things get lost in the shuffle or go into the spam folder.”
Don’t tell her that it didn’t.
“Right.”
Aprille clears her throat, obviously not expecting this reaction from me. And normally, I’d be my bubbly self, but I’m absolutely exhausted and in desperate need of a nap.
“So, I was wondering if we could meet up and discuss a few opportunities that I’d love for you to take charge of,” she continues. “Especially since you have a first-hand insight on Odin Wolfe.”
Kai.
How does she know I have any ties to him at all?
“What kind of company did you say this was?” I solicit, trying to fight down the agitation coursing through my veins.
“A bunch of things. Mostly for everyone, but we’re more geared toward women.”
