She’s looking at me like I’m a tasty meal and she’s been starved for months and my dick loves it. If I’m to be honest, I love it too. We are at a stalemate. Neither saying a word, neither able to move. I should say something, do something, but if I make a move right now, it will be to push her against something solid and kiss her until I can’t feel my lips anymore. I don’t think that would make for good family lunch entertainment.

My feet start moving toward her I realize, but I’m saved from doing something really stupid by the voice of her mother calling River to help bring the burgers inside the house.

River

Holy crap!Saved by burgers and a call for help. I’m not sure what’s going on, but whatever it is, I would have been down with it. I would have been one hundred percent into whatever Liam was offering and I’d be doing it right here on the back porch.

My mother’s voice and her imminent approach has me crashing back into reality, gathering my wits and rushing to meet her before she can take one look at us and figure out just what was happening.

Mom is one of those people who can read a person or a situation in .000003 seconds flat. Skye can attest to that. And Mom has been keeping a sharp eye on me for months now. Living far from home may have bought me some time and cover, but I know eventually she’ll figure me out. The only reason she hasn’t yet is because I, myself, don’t actually know what happened.
