I'm frozen in place, torn between the urge to cover her lips with mine and the fear that she'll reject me. The longer I stand here, the more paralyzed I become. Should I try? What if she turns away? Not one known for her patience, to my surprise, she reaches up, grips the front of my shirt in her fist, and pulls me down until our lips meet. She molds her mouth to mine and the years fall away. We're back on her parents' front porch and I'm waiting for her father to flip the light switch, casting the area in a cone of brilliance brighter than any found in any police interrogation room on any police drama I've ever watched. My heart pounds and my cock stiffens behind the zipper of my Levi's, seriously testing the strength of my boxer-briefs. Goosebumps race up my arms as her tongue ventures out to trace the seam of my lips, and just like that, her arms are sliding around my neck and my fingers are buried in soft strands of red as my palms cup her face. I let my tongue tangle with hers, tasting the honeyed sweetness of the lips I've missed for twenty-two long years. I groan low in my throat as the kiss goes on and on. At long last, she pulls away. We're both panting, lips swollen, eyes dark with a passion that still burns as strong as it did when we were seventeen. I press my forehead to hers.

"God, I missed y—" before I can finish the words, she presses her fingers against my mouth and shakes her head.

"This has to be a fresh start. That's the only way I'll agree to more than the fake engagement."

"But—" the word is muffled behind her cool, soft fingers.

"It's been over twenty years. I'm sure you've changed and I know I have. We're different people than back then. We're no longer the innocent kids we were. We'll take it day by day, one day at a time, and see how it goes. Do you accept my terms?"

"I—" she cocks a brow and I give in. "Fine. I accept your terms."

"Good, now go home."

"But—"

"Go home! I'm tired and I have a lot to think about."

"Will I see you before we head to Sacramento?"

She shrugs, "Maybe. When are we leaving?"

"I'd love to say tomorrow so we could relax at the house and chill, but this weekend might be more reasonable."

"Why so early?"

"So I can grab the Q7 and drive it up."

"Any particular reason?"

I duck my head and shrug, peeking at her through strands of hair, "I hate doing rentals if I don't have to."

She leans against the door and crosses her arms. "You and your Audi's. I bet you don't own anything else, do you?"

"I know what I like," I grumble, getting defensive."

"So, there's the RS7 you got for here, a Q7 in Cali, and..."

"I keep an R8 in New York because it's easier to maneuver in the city."

She laughs, shaking her head, "And I was worried about the money you spent today.
