“Don’t worry; his bark is worse than his bite. I’m afraid he’ll blow up when I confront him.”
“Will you have security with you?”
If this man was volatile, it was possible he could hurt Oliver especially if he suspected he was about to lose his job or be arrested for his theft.
He nodded. “My team will accompany me. You need not worry about my safety.”
“As your fiancée, that’s my job, to worry.”
He held his arms out to me. I climbed into his lap as he bent his head to press a kiss to my lips.
“I’ll be fine.”
“What am I to do while you’re away?” I asked.
I was hoping we would visit Seattle together but with nothing to do while he was away, I might be on my own.
“Go shopping or something. You have the credit card to use.”
“I thought you wanted me to have security?”
“You will. Brenda is here. She’ll travel wherever you go.”
“How did she get here?”
“Ahead of us.”
“I can use my own money,” I said defiantly.
“If you must but the card is there for you if you need it.”
I rolled my eyes. “I don’t need or want your money. I’m not with you because you’re rich.”
Oliver nuzzled my cheek with his nose. “Good. I don’t think I could tolerate a gold digger.”
I slapped his chest. “Jerk. You know I don’t care.”
“So if I was poor, you would still date me?”
“I might even marry you. As long as you keep me entertained in bed, I don’t care about your bank account.”
He chuckled. “Good to know. Maybe I’ll sell it all and give it away to charity.”
“Except for Fox Island,” I said, trying to sound casual but failing to hide my excitement.
Oliver raised his eyebrows. “You would live there?”
“Sure. It’s quiet, and the weather is lovely,” I replied, smiling at the thought.
“What about hurricanes?” he asked, his brow furrowing in concern.
“We could ride it out in one of the caves on the island,” I suggested with a shrug.
“How do you know there’s a cave?” He tilted his head, intrigued.
“I’m just guessing. Is there?” I asked, my curiosity piqued.
“Two, in fact,” he confirmed with a nod.
