“It’s only right.”

I lift her hand and mimic the motion. Her eyes trace over my initials,M.H., on her hand.

Our palms face upward, and a bond to her fills my chest. My pulse pounds erratically.

M.H. M.G.

Molly left her mark on me, in more ways than just this paint. She reminds me of everything I’ve ever loved, of home. I shouldn’t feel like this. We said we didn’t want our relationship to turn complicated.

But it already has. There’s no way I can go back to pretending that what’s unfolding between us means nothing.

I don’t want to be like everyone else in her life, trying to take from her and control her. I want to build our connection based on mutual trust and respect. Molly deserves someone who gives her space to shine and blossom. Who makes her feel safe. I want to try to be that man for her.

Can I be?

Surely, she’s meant to have that with someone she can start a family with. I can’t take up only a piece of her heart, nor do I want to give her the broken fragments of myself.

But perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to keep pretending for one last night.

“You don’t even mean to torment me, do you?” I whisper.

“I torment you?”

“Molly, you’ve infiltrated my thoughts.” I place a soft kiss on her knuckles.

“I think about you too, so much.” Her voice trembles.

“Tell me, baby.” My hands wrap around her petite waist, and I lift her onto the table. “I want to know everything in that pretty head of yours. Every thought, every feeling, and every fantasy. I want it.”

“Take it, Matthew.” Molly slings her arms around my neck, spreading her knees and pulling me toward her. “You can have everything.”

Her thighs hook around my hips. “When you say things like that, beautiful, I’m not sure you know what you’re asking for.” I breathe into the crook of her neck, my hands sliding into her hair, across her skin.

“Then show me. Teach it to me.”

Those words are like solving the last crossword clue.Relief.

I lean and kiss her. Her breath is sweet, her mouth hot.

Molly arches her back, pressing her breasts against my chest.

“I need you,” I admit, covering her paint-splattered jaw with my lips.My left hand cups her breast, kneading the tender flesh beneath the fabric of her dress.

“Then, p-please,” she moans, pushing her hips into me and fumbling for the clasp of my belt.

“Be patient.” I kiss her neck. “I’ve thought about this for so long. I’m going to savor every second of you.”

Molly’s gaze is drunk with desire, and I know exactly what to do to make her melt beneath me.

I just want her. Not to think about tonight, or tomorrow, or any fucking day I have to spend without her.

Molly gasps as I pull her closer and settle her perfect ass on the edge of the table.

“I’m going to savor this pussy until I get my fill. Is that okay, darling?”

“Mhm.” She nods, sending both of her palms back onto the table.

My right hand slides down her thigh, hovering at the edge of her dress. There’s no going back.
