Sliding over the railing, I jump down off the porch to the ground and walk over to stand next to her at the garden fence. Going to the stairs at the front or the back of the house creates a chance for someone to see me. I know that’s the last thing Lily wants.

“You’ve been avoiding me, Lemon.”

Her head darts up, her eyes wide. Then a big frown settles on her face when she sees that it’s me. “Exactly. So, stop talking to me. You’re ruining all my hard work.”

“Babe, please let me explain.”

“No. I don’t want to hear it. And don’t call me babe.”

“Please.”

“No, I knew this was a bad idea. You’re too immature. I don’t know what I was thinking having sex with you. But as far as I’m concerned, it never happened. Forget you’ve seen me naked, got it, kid?”

“Never going to happen. And if you call me kid one more time-”

“Oh, please. What are you going to do about it?” Her light brown eyes are fiery as she glares up at me. I would take that fire over her ignoring me every single time.

“Shove my head under your dress and make you come until you agree to stop calling me that.”

“Been there, done that. Thank you, next.”

“You’re being unreasonable, Lemon.”

“I’m really not. I’m being mature. What was immature was having sex with my best friend’s kid brother. This?” she says, motioning back and forth between us. “It’s over. It never even started. So, just leave me alone.”

When she tries to walk away, I can’t let her. I just can’t let her go. There’s no fucking way this is over. She’s wrong. This thing between us did start. And I’m not letting it end before it really even gets going.

Reaching out, I grab her hand, and I don’t let go.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Her voice is an angry whisper. And her eyes are nearly shooting sparks at me.

“Making you see reason,” I whisper, grabbing her other hand and pulling her to me. “Lemon, be reasonable. Hear me out. If you do, and you still never want to see me again, then I’ll make myself scarce. But just hear me out. You owe me that much.”

“I don’t owe you anything. But if it’ll get you to leave me alone. Fine. Start talking, kid.”

“I’m sorry about the other day. Really fucking sorry. I shouldn’t have left like that. I just…”

She shakes her head at me. “I honestly don’t care why you did what you did. But I don’t have another night to waste on you. Just spit it out, so I can go.”

“I needed to get out of there before I said or did something stupid.”

“Don’t worry, I was the only one doing something stupid.”

“Are you gonna let me finish?”

“I can’t wait for you to finish. So, I can leave and never have to talk about this again. Just get it over with. There’s dessert in there. And I’d rather be eating dessert or doing just about anything else instead of talking to you.”

“I got mad about something. And I got the hell out of there before I could say or do anything I’d regret. I’m sorry if it made you feel like I was just there for a blowjob. I wasn’t. I wanted to come over the night before, but we had a long day at the farm. I knew I couldn’t take care of you like I wanted to. All fucking night long. When I came to your house, I was planning on spending the night with my head between your thighs, if you’d have let me.”

“Hmmm, I’m not sure if you’re thinking of the same day I am? Because I just finished sucking your dick and then swallowing every last drop of your cum, so I’m not sure what exactly you had to be mad about?”

“I didn’t have any right to be mad about it. I know that. But that was the best damn blowjob of my life, Lemon. And I started thinking about how you were so damn good at it. How you knew exactly what you were doing to me. And then I just saw red, thinking about any other man touching you like that. You letting him touch you like that.”

Lily tries to jerk her hands out of mine, but I’m holding onto her too tight. “I thought you wanted me to see reason? That’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.”

“Doesn’t mean it’s not true.”

“You were pissed that I’ve been with other guys? That’s insane. I’m a thirty-two-year-old woman, not a teenager. I have needs, and I make sure they’re met. I had a whole life before I made the one-time mistake of letting you take me home from the Goldrush.”
