I grab Emilia’s hand and pull her closer. “We’re leaving,” I tell my mother. She looks startled, but she doesn’t stop us. Not even John tries to intervene this time. I pull Emilia along and start down the path we just came from. Usually we’d canoe around the lake and then back to the cabin, but even I don’t want to be anywhere near Kate right now.

“She’s a fucking nut job.”

Emilia sighs and shakes her head. “She’s just hurt.”

I pause and turn to face her. “Minx, are you insane? Why the hell are you still standing up for her? She’s not a fucking child. So what if we hid our relationship from her? It’s none of her goddamn business.”

Emilia shakes her head. “It’s not that simple, Carter. She made me promise to never fall for you back when we were in high school. It’s the only thing she ever asked of me, and I broke my word. She told me she and I would be done if I ever dated you, and I decided to do it, anyway. I’m not saying she isn’t to blame at all, but I’m just as much to blame. I guess I didn’t think she’d end a ten-year friendship, but I knew it was a risk. I thought being with you was worth that risk, and I’m paying for it now. It’s shitty, but I’m not mad at her for the way she’s acting. I broke her trust, Carter. I lied to her and misled her. I’m dating her brother; the one guy she didn’t want me to pursue. I’d probably be mad too.”

I run a hand through my hair, unsure how to feel. I understand what she’s saying, but I still think Kate is being unreasonable. “I just want us to be happy, Emilia. I want us to be happy together, and I want those around us to be happy too. That can’t be so much to ask.”

I walk to the small makeshift pier by the lake and inhale deeply. Emilia wraps her arms around my waist and rises to her tiptoes. She kisses me and I deepen our kiss, needing more of her. I can’t even remember the last time I got to have her completely to myself. Emilia pulls back and looks at me through narrowed eyes.

“Hey, do you remember when you crashed my first date?”

I glance at her and look away, annoyed at the mere thought of her with someone else.

“Fucking Tony,” I mutter.

Emilia laughs, the sound making my heart skip a beat. “You’re so petty,” she says, pressing a kiss to my lips.

“You’re mine. Even then, you were mine,” I whisper, my hands closing around her waist possessively.

Emilia looks into my eyes and nods. “Yeah, I was. I’ve always been yours, Carter. And I always will be. I still remember, you know. Back then I was falling for you so hard… it terrified me. I wasn’t sure if you felt the same and you were about to leave for college too.”

I lean in and press another kiss to her lips while my hands slip underneath her t-shirt. “I was falling for you too, baby. Hell, by then I was already deeply in love with you. Why do you think I tried to give you a better first date?”

Emilia giggles and glances at the water beside us before looking at me with raised brows, a challenge in her eyes. “It was a phenomenal first date. It was so good, I think we should do it again.”

I laugh and pull her t-shirt over her head, letting it drop to the ground. It’ll take the others some time to get back. They’re usually on the water for hours, and we’re on private property, which means I get to have Emilia to myself for a few hours in complete privacy. She tugs on my t-shirt and I take it off, the rest of our clothes soon following.

“Come on,” she says, pulling on my hand. Her eyes drop to my crotch and she giggles. I shrug. “Can’t help it, Minx. Whenever you’re naked, I automatically get hard.”

She shakes her head and lowers herself into the water carefully. She sighs in delight as the water hits her body. She watches me as I enter the water, her eyes roaming over my body. She holds her hands out and I swim up to her. She doesn’t hesitate to throw her arms around me and I lift her up just a little. She wraps her legs around me and I sigh in delight.

“You drove me crazy that night, you know. I wanted you so badly and the way you moved against me, fuck. I really wanted to slip inside you.”

Emilia laughs and kisses my chin, and then my cheek, before finally kissing my lips. “I wanted it too, you know. I watched you all the time… through the window.”

I laugh and trap her lower lip between my teeth. “I know,” I whisper against her lips. “I put those shows on especially for you. Walking around half naked, jacking off with the curtains wide open. I was teasing you.”

She grins and shakes her head. “I know that now, but back then? It was so hot, Carter. Damn.”

I walk us to the posts underneath the pier and press her back against it. “I’ve wanted to fuck you here ever since that day. It’s been almost four years, Minx.”

Emilia chuckles and threads her hands through my hair. “I guess it’s your lucky day, babe,” she whispers, and I get even harder. Emilia kisses me and rubs her body against mine so that I almost slip into her every single time she moves.

“Baby, you’ll drive me insane,” I whisper. Emilia smiles smugly and I kiss her. Two can play this game. I tighten my grip on her ass and push against her the way I know she likes, and before long it’s her that’s panting.

“I love you,” she whispers. “I want you, Carter.”

Just hearing her say that has me close. I always knew sex with Emilia would be incredible, but I underestimated how good it’d be. Just having this connection with her is insane. I look into her eyes as I slip into her and her mouth falls open, a small moan escaping her lips. “You’re so fucking tight around me, Emilia.”

She tilts her hips and tightens her legs around me, taking me in even deeper. “I love this,” she murmurs. I lower my lips to hers and thrust into her slowly, taking my time with her. Emilia’s hands roam all over my body, her nails raking over my back desperately. “More,” she whispers. I love it when she’s this turned on and demanding. I suck down on her lower lip and fuck her harder, silencing all her moans with a kiss. We’re both frantic, wanting more of each other, more of how amazing this feels after a couple of really shitty weeks. It doesn’t take us long to lose control and the second I feel her muscles tighten around me, I come right along with her.

“I love you,” I whisper, dazed. Emilia smiles and rests her head on my shoulder, both of us panting.

She leans back against the wooden post; her legs still wrapped around me and the two of us still intimately connected. “This is what I wanted that night,” she murmurs.
