How could I say no to that?
Especially when I looked over and was entrapped by those sexy blue eyes and the dark features of a man who could probably do things to me that no one else has.
I’ve never been so attracted to someone in my life. However, I could see a world full of disappointment in his face and a painful past that shaped him into the man he is.
That’s what trapped me in that barstool next to him.
Kai doesn’t know this, but I wouldn’t have been able to say no even if I wanted to. If I was in the middle of a date and he’d asked me to stay, I would’ve completely forgotten about the man I was supposed to be with and stayed with him just to hear that deep octave of his.
It was a night I never thought I’d be able to relive.
And I did.
Just in another way, with two daughters and a completely different plan in mind.
Without a clear plan on how I was going to be able to make ends meet for the rest of the month, I applied for a million and one jobs. I landed on one that needed help with two little girls and I figured, how hard could it be?
As fate would have it, I fell into the same gaze that intrigued me more than he tried to charm me.
But there’s so much more than that.
Months had gone by at that point and I was back into the whirlwind of that night. Of things that I’d never write on paper, but something that I felt would forever reside in me.
I couldn’t tell you how unprepared I was to see him. But when I did, I had a feeling the universe was finally giving me my break.
It was impossible to think otherwise.
I’ve had several boyfriends, men who tried to win me over, but Kai was always honest and open with his outlook on life and what he wanted for himself.
He didn’t want the media attention and the trips to Vegas.
He wished for a simple life with his daughters and to live his life in a peaceful way.
Then I barged in and, since then, I’ve been unable to not crave being in his line of sight.
That’s how Kai centered and buried me underneath him.
How I don’t have the strength to leave if things head south. He’s a man of fewer words than most. But when he speaks it means something. When he looks at you, it’s because he sees you.
I’ve been lucky enough to experience both.
Now, in a new chapter, I’m bringing new life into his world and mine. It could be the most devastating few pieces of my existence or the most memorable. With a public breakup and cheating allegations against him, I’m not sure if Kai will ever open himself up to me fully to let me in.
But I’d rather try than wonder what-if.
Because if I don’t lock Kai Wolfe down, who will?
My heart wrenches in my stomach at how casual her lines are. How it feels as though she took advantage of me and my past to feed into what she could offer me.
As if this is all a ploy to be secure financially in my life without having to worry about herself or the baby.
She didn’t want to be a mother.
But maybe she saw the benefits of being one. Especially if it were my child because, she’s right, I do have enough money to last three lifetimes. I have enough to set my two girls up for the rest of their lives if they never wanted to work a day.
Would I allow that? No. But Molly has already thought sixty years into the future about how she could benefit.
I slam the laptop shut, and it takes everything in me not to toss it against the wall and listen to it crash and hopefully break.
