THE AIR SMELLED LIKE a burning campfire long after we'd cleaned up our meal. I'd helped put everything away until my mother had flapped her hands at me, insisting she and Jemine would clean the mess.

I was sure she was trying to show her father how helpful, how doting, she could be, especially with her sister navigating the scene with a confidence that came from being on the property more often.

Not wanting to get in the middle of their one-up battle, I wandered through the grassy backyard until I hit the tree line. My grandfather's home was on a large piece of land. It was attached to a farm, but I knew he owned much more than the small cornfield I could see. He and his partner, before the man had died, had owned the business going back fifty years.

The number of farms they rented out and took royalties from in this county was immense. He lived a simple life, but Pappy's estate was wealthy. Suddenly, the cornfield below made me queasy.

If there was no money here, I wouldn't be in the middle of this whole mess. I hugged myself and shivered in the cool breeze. I could be back in the city, working on my own business, and not dealing with...

The ground crunched behind me. I turned, seeing Conner approaching. He shielded his eyes from the blazing red setting sun, smiling in his usual relaxed way. Pappy's house was a dot over his shoulder in the distance. “Hey,” I said.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Sorry if I walked off without warning. I didn't mean to make you come looking for me.”

“I knew where you were,” he said, coming closer.

“You did?”

His eyes glinted playfully. “Of course. I didn't take my attention off of you for a single second today. I saw you walk out here, I thought you must have wanted to be alone, so I waited.”

The fact that he'd watched me all day delighted me. Pushing long strands of my ginger hair from my forehead, I turned towards him. The sunset had turned my hair into a burning red cloud that framed my face. “Conner... I'm sorry about today. When I asked you to do this, I thought it would be less... I don't know. Personal? Weird?” I laughed nervously. “Fuck, this is beyond crazy. I should have told my mom no from the start.”

His hands clasped onto my shoulders, pulling my sweater tighter around me. It was a protective gesture but it didn't stop there. Conner kept pulling until our bodies were pressed tight, his warmth more radiant than the material of my sweater, more welcome than any fabric could ever be. He held me close, winding his arms around the small of my back. There was just enough space between us that I could look up into his fierce, emotional eyes. “You're forgetting yourself, Cherry,” he whispered.

“What?”

“The scene,” he growled, clutching tighter. “You didn't say the safe word so our scene isn't over. Stop
