Saving Molly Read Online Free PDF Page B

I find it hard to accept.  I know where you will have problems, however, aren’t they still going to question whether we're married?”  He asked.
     
    “Yes they will.  If we tell them we are waiting for the paperwork, got married in your hometown or somewhere else it might work.”  She said.
     
    “I have a better idea.  We get married, and I will hold you to nothing for the marriage, unless you want it.  That way, we can produce the paper and it will never be questioned.”  He answered.
     
    Molly sat back, looking at him, not really sure if she could trust him.  She had lied to him already.  Why should he even offer her something so simple?  Could this work?  Would they be able to pull it off.  What if someone expected them to have kids?  Well no, she could explain that away with the work they would need to do on the ranch.  It had worked all those years with William. 
     
    “Well, I guess we could try that.”  Molly finally answered.
     
    “Good.  When should we tie the knot?”  He asked.
     
    “Might as well do it tomorrow.  It will make perfect sense to everyone in town.”  She said.
     
    “Okay, I can wear my suit I had on when I first came.  It’s the best one I have.”  He smiled at her.  “Don’t you feel better now that we got everything out in the open?”  He asked her.
     
     
    Molly smiled at him, “sure.”  She knew that feelings were brewing deep inside her.  When he had first said “Why don’t we get married”, she had hoped he wanted to for real, not just to help her out.  It had shocked her to realize that she felt this way about a man she had only met this morning.  But there was something about him, not only the physical attraction she felt, but she was drawn to him in other ways. 
     
    This was not something she would be able to share with him.  He didn’t feel the same way about her.  There was no way he could. 
     
    “By the way, it smells wonderful in here.  You’ve been busy today.”  He smiled at her, it was something that made her warm inside to see that smile again.
     
    She smiled back.  “I baked a cake, some fresh bread and there is a roast in the oven that will be done in a few hours, for supper.” 
     
    “Wow, I feel like a king Molly.  Thank you so much for doing all of this.”  He looked at her with honesty in his eyes, bent down and kissed her on the cheek.  Pulling up a bit, he looked deep into her eyes, then he lowered his mouth to hers and gave her a light kiss.  He didn’t stop.  His passion came through in his kiss as he probed her mouth with his tongue.  His kiss had passion.  Molly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.  This was not something she had ever done before and she felt like an amateur.
     
    He broke the kiss off, “I’m sorry Molly.  I don’t know what came over me.”  He walked out of the kitchen.
     
    Molly stood there feeling completely naked.  She had just let her defenses down completely.  Only to find, he hadn’t done it on purpose.  It was nothing more than an accident.  She had almost felt the spark of love or what she thought was love, when he first kissed her.  That comment he made, and the fact that he left her standing there empty, was her answer.  Tears fell from her eyes.  She couldn’t let herself slip like that again.  It would be too dangerous to let Joshua Adams that close to her heart.  She knew she would give her all to be with him.
     
    Molly worked on getting supper ready.  She didn’t feel quite the same happiness as she had before.  Knowing that she would want to take advantage of the marriage benefits, but also feeling that after this afternoon he wouldn’t.  She figured it would just be more years of unhappiness and more of a sexless life.
     

 
    6. Love At Last
                  “Supper’s ready.”  She yelled out to Joshua a few hours later.  He walked into the room, “It smells wonderful.”  Sitting at the
