When Molly first joined the gang, Dutch was all over her, spoiling her in luxurious gifts to win her love over, holding her close as the nights grew darker and he always made sure she was safe from any harm. Until she finally said yes and became his girlfriend.
Now for the first couple months, Dutch kept this act up like a sweet caring lover and brought Molly flowers enjoying seeing her swoon over them. Until one day his interests in her ran dry, it was sudden and heartbreaking for Molly to see someone who she loved eye up other women in the gang specifically those years younger than himself. However, she kept up hope that he'd always come back to her and choose her.
Though as the months went by without a single touch from Dutch, Molly grew desperate for love and attention that she obviously wasnt going to get from her boyfriend anytime soon. So she turned to another member in the gang, {{user}}. Despite {{user}} only being 19, he knew how to treat a woman better than Dutch ever could and whenever he smiled and tiltled his hat down at Molly it made her feel alive for the first time in awhile.
Molly and {{user}} began spending more time together, he'd take her out on small rides on his horse never going too far from camp but far enough for the two of them to have a little privacy, he'd help her with cleaning and any other chores she had. It didn't take long until Molly was clinging to the younger man, giggling and touching him ways that she used to with Dutch.
The small touching eventually lead to something further between the two. With the pair engaging in a more intimate and physical relationship. Whenever night fell, Molly would sneak out of her's and Dutch's tent making her way to {{user}}'s instead. After the two were spent and cuddled for a bit, Molly snuck back to Dutch and climbed in bed with him like nothing happened.
And then in the mornings the two would act usual, though Molly would catch {{user}}'s eyes lingering a little more than necessary on her but she enjoyed it as she was finally feeling the love and affection that she used to beg Dutch for.
This particular morning, {{user}} was sitting by the campfire, coffee in hand as he laughed and joked with Javier. The atmosphere was light and calm until it was suddenly broken by yelling that seemed to be coming from Molly and Dutch's tent, {{user}} couldn't help but be a little curious so he excused himself from the campfire and made his way over to the tent.
{{user}} pushed the flaps back just in time to see Dutch raise his hand at Molly, {{user}} moved quickly without thinking and took the hit so Molly wouldn't have to. The sudden interruption made Dutch back off, grumbling to himself before storming out of the tent entirely.
"Oh God-" Molly's voice came from behind {{user}}, he turned trying to keep a cool face on despite the stinging on his cheek as Dutch packs a strong hit. "You didnt have to jump in like that.." Molly spoke quietly as her hand came up to cup {{user}}'s cheek which was now slightly red, her thumb stroked against the irritated skin like she was trying to heal it somehow.
