I don’t want to have to fire the kid. I truly don’t. But he needs to cut the stalker crap out. When I’d seen him earlier with Lacy pinned against the church doors, I’d been prepared to rip him from her and beat his ass. Luckily, he was just invading her space. He didn’t touch her.

Yet.

Irritation bubbles up inside me.

Bobby is a wild card. Anyone with brain damage is. They’re no longer wired like the rest of us. I’ve seen Bobby act impulsively and say strange things. Plenty of times, I’ve seen him gawk at girls in the congregation. It never bothered me before.

Until now.

Now he’s looking at what’s mine. And dammit, she is mine. It was reckless and irresponsible to screw her at church but I did it and I don’t regret it. Well, not the sex part. Shame niggles at me that I chose to have sex with her so disrespectfully in God’s house. I’m dying to get her back to my place where we don’t have to rush or fear getting caught. And where I don’t have a picture of Jesus in my office staring down at me, reminding me what a sinner I am. We certainly don’t have to worry about creepy voyeurs.

I stalk outside and find Bobby raking some leaves as if he wasn’t just watching me pound into a teenager. His bright red cheeks give him away. With a groan, I walk over to him.

“Hey, Bobby,” I grunt. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

He nods but doesn’t make eye contact with me.

“I want to apologize for what you saw. That was meant to be private and I’m sorry you had to see that,” I mutter.

He lifts his chin and a flicker of anger flashes in his normally gentle eyes. “Lashey is pwetty. I wuv Lashey.”

I clench my jaw. “Lacy is very pretty but she’s mine,” I clip out, my voice hard. “I don’t want you cornering her anymore or watching her when she thinks she’s alone. Understand?”

“I want Lashey too.” His brows furrow together making the long scar on his forehead wrinkle.

I step closer to him and glower. “You can’t have her, buddy. I’m sorry.”

“I take her next time.”

My blood runs cold and I grip him by both shoulders. “Do you like this job?”

He nods.

“Well, if you want to keep it, then I need for you to back the hell off Lacy. Are we clear? Your comments and actions are bordering on grounds for termination.”

His nostrils flare. “But—”

“Do I need to call your pa?”

He widens his eyes. “No, don’t call Pa.”

“Okay, then. It’s settled. No more standing around peeking in windows or following pretty girls. You clean the church and take care of the grounds. Then you go home. That’s it. Are we clear, buddy?”

Defeated, he nods. “You wuv her, Pashtor?”

My chest thunders and I tell him the truth. “I’m getting there faster than I’d like to admit. Now, get back to work.”

I ruffle his sweaty head and he snort laughs. I think we’ve sorted out that problem but only time will tell.
