What feels like minutes pass by as she just stares at me. I just laid it all fucking out there and she’s not saying a word. I’m starting to worry that I’ve read this whole situation wrong, when she finally speaks up.

Blinking several times, she says, “Wow, you kinda caught me off guard with that. I’m not going to lie. I’m a little nervous about getting involved with you. I’m not looking to be someone’s rebound, so if that’s what this is, then I can’t see you.” Her lower lip starts to quiver as she holds back her unshed tears. “I’ve had enough heartache to last me a lifetime, Landon. I can’t go through more. I’d rather know now while I can still walk away and save myself the pain.” Her voice is barely above a whisper as it cracks on certain words. The hurt coming from her nearly breaks me. I’d do everything in my fucking power to shelter her from pain. She looks down at her hands as she starts picking at her nails.

“Autumn, look at me,” I say gently. When she does, I continue. “Do you honestly think that’s what you are to me?” She doesn’t say a word. “Let me clear it up for you then; you’re not a fucking rebound. I might want to break your bed, but never your heart.” This gets her to crack a smile. It’s a small one, but I’ll take it. “Come here.” I hold my arm out to her and she leans into my side. After a few minutes, I feel her take in a deep breath and let it out in a sigh. I lean back and say, “You okay now?”

“Yeah, I’m good.”

“So what do you say? Will you be my girl?” I know I sound cheesy, but that’s kind of the point. Hopefully I can lighten the mood and get her to let her guard down slightly and trust me.

Through her giggles, she replies, “Yeah, I’ll be your girl.” Grabbing the back of her neck, I crash my lips against hers, letting out a groan of satisfaction. A surprised squeak leaves her mouth, but I quickly swallow the sound with my mouth as our tongues collide together. Things start to get indecent as our hands roam over each other’s bodies and my cock stands at attention, ready for more. Reluctantly, I pull back to keep myself from consuming her right here on the pier. Her eyes are half-lidded, lips are red and swollen, and she’s breathing fast. Knowing that I have the same affect on her as she does on me makes me grin.

Grabbing her hand, I help her up. “What are you doing?”

I look out at the lake and then back at her, an idea forming in my head. “Let’s take a swim.”

Her jaw drops as she glances at the water. “Are you crazy?! That water is going to be freezing!” she shrieks.

“Where’s your sense of adventure? Live a little, babe. It won’t be that bad. We’ll jump in and jump out.
