TAKING A PULL FROM THE BEER in my hand, I stare at the dark water at the edge of my boat. Bre’s words from earlier tonight keep whispering through my mind, reminding me what I am for her.

“Fuck,” I hiss into the night, pissed at myself for being in love with a woman who is still in love with another man. Jealousy isn’t something I like feeling, but that emotion has been living inside me for so long that I’ve become used to it.

Walking to the wheelhouse, I take a seat in my chair and sigh. I don’t have anywhere to be; I lied to Bre about that. I just needed to get away from her before I said something I might regret. I need a few days to think about what I should do. Not that it will really fucking matter. I’m starting to see she’s never going to be mine, that she will always be his, and as much as I love her, I know I can’t live with only having a part of her. I’m selfish. I want it all. I want all her love, all her heart, all her mind, body, and soul.

“Maybe it’s time to move the fuck on.” I rub my hand down my face then close my eyes when her scent that has seeped into my skin fills my nostrils. I shouldn’t feel smug that he was never able to give her what I did on her couch, but fuck if I do. And since I don’t have much else, I’m taking it.

Bre with her hair down, eyes and face red from crying, wearing her hoodie and a pair of jeans. And it’s then I notice a small black duffle bag over her shoulder.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m coming with you.” At her quietly spoken statement, my chest tightens. “I… well… I have a couple days off work, and Shel and my dad are going to look after Ly for me.”

I stare at her, and she stares back. Then she looks away, biting her bottom lip.

“Maybe this was stupi—”

I reach out, wrap my arm around her waist, and pull her against my chest. Hauling her up my body, I drop my mouth to hers, cutting off whatever it was she was going to say. I kiss her hard, my hand holding my beer behind her head to keep her in place.

I listen to her bag hit the ground then feel her hands slide up my chest to wrap around my neck. I don’t know how long we stand under the stars with our mouths fused together. It might be minutes or hours; all I
