“Ollie.”
“Cuddlebug.”
“Where was I when this happened?”
“Probably riding my dick. I can’t get enough of you, and you always bring me to the point of delirium.”
I groaned. “I have a feeling we’re toxic together.”
He winked. “Hell and Heaven are the same experiences in different temperatures.”
I sank into my seat, not caring that I’d turned to sulking. “What other world-crushing plans do you have that I should know about?”
He kept his eyes on the sky ahead, the flare of his nostrils the only sign he’d heard me. “None that I can think of.”
I chewed on my lower lip. “I really need to regain my memories, don’t I?”
“No rush. I’ll wait.” He squeezed the steering yoke tight. “Even if it kills me.”
Chapter Forty-One
Oliver
Romeo Costa:What is it this I’m hearing about Oliver running to Texas to fetch his fake fiancée like he has those pesky things called feelings?
Ollie vB:She has amnesia. She is not fucking okay.
Ollie vB:Neither is your wife, btw, and she doesn’t have a concussion as an excuse.
Zach Sun:Since when are you an altruistic person?
Romeo Costa:Since when is he a PERSON? Are we humanizing him now?
Zach Sun:And what did Farrow mean by you had to “cut work short” to get there? Sexual intercourse is not a job, Oliver. Unless you finally opened that Only Fans page.
Ollie vB:@RomeoCosta, your wife was way out of line, and we are going to exchange words about it.
Romeo Costa:Shaking in my boots over here.
Ollie vB:When you come here for dinner again tomorrow, it is fucking vital that you do not do anything stupid.
Zach Sun:Like what?
Ollie vB:Talk.
Ollie vB:Just breathe and smile.
Zach Sun:She’s starting to get her memory back, I heard. Bad news for you.
Ollie vB:Not so much.
Romeo Costa:Why?
Ollie vB:She’s a vegetarian environmentalist who is riding my ass to oblivion. I think maybe it really was adolescent infatuation that made boy Oliver fall in love with her.
Zach Sun:I call bullshit and a half on this.
Zach Sun:You are still hopelessly in love with this woman.
