“December first. The Plaza Hotel. A thousand people. I need you there,” Molly says firmly, not giving the chef the opportunity to decline. A shiver zooms up my spine at her assertive tone.She’s so attractive.
Two people push past me, throwing on aprons and running to the sink.
“Fine,” Analise sighs reluctantly. “You can stop scrubbing those dishes now. Our backup is here.”
“I’ll email you the details.” Molly nods and abandons her sponge.
Then she spots me. The entire front of her gown is soaked. Her cheeks are red, her brow is damp, and there’s a wide smile across her face. She shucks off the rubber gloves.
“Matthew?” Molly says, looking surprised.
“I’ve been looking for you for ages.” I rush over to her.
“I got us a caterer.”A glimmer lights up her eyes. She’s perfect.
I wrap her in my arms and spin her around. “You did it.”
“No, we did. We finished the list.” She laughs before connecting her lips with mine. Euphoria washes over me, and my heart rate speeds up.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more sure that I’m in love with her. I mean, how could I not be? This precious, tender woman whose skin is as tough as a suit of armor. No masks in sight. Just Molly being entirely herself.
We break from our kiss, and I fall to pieces at the look in her amber eyes.
“Hey, get the hell out of my kitchen before I change my mind!” Analise yells.
Molly laughs, wiggling out of my grasp. “Let’s go home, Hudson.”
Gladly.

We barely keptour hands off each other on the drive back to the townhouse. Molly’s chauffer definitely needs to invest in a privacy screen.
My Molly.
“I feel like I’ve barely been able to calm down since we left the gala,” Molly says, turning off the shower.
I lean against the doorway, hand her a towel, and she wraps it around herself. “You were marvelous, darling.”
“Did you see? I was literally a dishwashing warrior,” she giggles.
I inhale the steam from the shower. Red ruby apples flood my senses.Home. “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever been more attracted to you in my life.”
“Oh yeah? You’re attracted to me, are you?” She playfully arches her brow at me.
A little more than that.She swipes at the condensation on the mirror. The cotton towel rides up her thighs, revealing her soft, pale legs. A little more forward, and her perfect ass covered with dimples would be peeking out of her towel.
I swallow.
“So much.”
Molly faces me. Mischief coats her face. “Be honest; did the rubber gloves get you going?”
“You get me going. Everything about you.” I approach her, brushing one of my fingers along the slope of her shoulders.
“Really?” She inhales deeply, watching my reflection in the mirror before she spins around in my arms.
My heart leaps from my chest. My palm brackets her jaw, and I pull her in for a kiss.
