He has that bad boy vibe without actually doing anything bad—unless he is cheating—but today he showed me a side that I liked.

He showed me a man I could fall in love with.

Now, I’m afraid I’ve cracked open the door to more heartbreak and I want to cry.

What did I tell you about not losing? Tsk, tsk, Molly. You aren’t paying attention.

I’m confused and my truth radar is turned up to full power.

I will not be made a fool of again.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

ATLAS

––––––––

Dinner is a huge affair. The mansion is abuzz with dozens of members of our families who’ve arrived in the Hamptons for tomorrow’s wedding.

Payton and Knox have disappeared for a few hours and will be back to join everyone for dessert.

I like how they’re doing things their way.

The rest of their wedding celebrations will be shared with hundreds of people, so taking this moment together is special and romantic.

Even a guy can acknowledge that.

“Wow,” Molly says, curling her feet underneath her on the cushion.

The event team has done an amazing job. There’s one big marquee and a few other pop-up tents filled with different cuisines.

And a ton of patio heaters.

The festival-type vibe is relaxed, warm, and fun.

The opposite of the formal wedding we’re all expecting tomorrow.

I like that also. It has me thinking what I’d like for my own wedding.

Jesus.

Do guys usually think about this stuff? I haven’t before but I guess it’s because my big brother is getting married. I never did when Bella was tying the knot.

Maybe it’s a guy thing.

“Wow good? Or wow not good?” I ask, admiring the cream jumpsuit Molly wears. It has gold buttons and long sleeves and almost screams at me to undress her.

I know it’s not designer, but I don’t care. She looks beautiful with her hair softly curled around one shoulder, her barely-there makeup, and high gloss lips.

Ones I want wrapped around my cock.

“There’re a lot of people here. I can’t believe it’s only family.” She leans forward on the low table and bites into her taco. “But the fwood wis amawzing.”

“Don’t speak with your mouth full.” I poke her in the hip. “Unless you’re full of me.”

She jumps.

“Atlas,” she says but it comes outWawtwus.
