Fool Me Twice (Lily)

Once we said our goodbyes with Papa, Griff I headed back to the pickup. After everything he'd put me through in the last couple of days, keeping Papa's secret from him was a tiny bit of poetic justice.

Well that, and it was driving him crazy.

At least three or four times he asked me to tell him what Papa said. Each time I responded in a similar way.

Nothing.

None of your business.

I bet you'd like to know, wouldn't you?

I walked out the front door. Even the air smelled a little sweeter. From behind, I heard the sound of his big feet coming down the steps.

Don't bother. "I'm not telling you. Papa swore me to secrecy."

Walking around the front of the pickup, I approached the passenger side. Griff came up behind me to open the door. He wrapped his hand around the old, worn handle and tugged on it.

"You know, Sneaks. There shouldn't be any secrets between man and wife."

Seriously? "Look who's talking! Do we need to recap yours?"

While he opened the door for me, I pinched the ring between my thumb and index finger and started to tug on it. "Which reminds me…"

His hand covered mine. "No. Don't."

Looking down at his fingers, I traced the thick muscles of his forearm with my eyes until they disappeared in his sleeve. I hated that I missed his touch. My eyes met his.

"I'm not letting you go. I won't."

I sighed. "Griff…" The pain of his lies returned, wiping away the pleasure I'd had getting to know Papa.

"Don't Griff me." He squeezed my hand. "I'm done pretending, I want to marry you. For real."

I pulled my hand until he let it go free. Turning away from the pickup, I walked a few feet away.

You already know what I'm going to say. Don't let him back in. Why did you even come here? What were you thinking?

Not now, Tiny Me. Not now.

The soles of his shoes crunched on the dusty gravel of the old driveway. Griff walked around in front of me.

"I'm sorry for what I've done, but after seeing the way Papa reacted to you, babe, I know you're the one. I'm serious. No contracts, none of that bullshit. I'll still pay you the money but otherwise, man and wife, the way it should be."

I couldn't look him in the eye. The ring sparkled, mocking me, daring me to let him in again.

"Just give me another chance. I swear I can make it right. I made a terrible mistake, and I can see how bad it's hurt you. I'm so sorry."

The tone of his voice drew my eyes up to meet his. There was so much sincerity in his words. His still blues flickered, looking into my soul.

I felt my resolve slip.

Oh man. Heart, meet arrow.

Like a tidal wave crashing on a craggy shore, the memory of the night we spent together flooded my mind. Desire consumed me. It was all I could do to not hurl myself against him, crushing my lips into his.
