Chapter Eight
Lance
I know I shouldn’t be pressed in between her thighs right now, but fuck, I want nothing more than to pull her pants down and eat her pussy like I’m a starved man.
It has been a long six months since the last girl I was intimate with, and even then, it wasn’t anything much. On top of that, there aren’t any women here who like the lifestyle I live. They all want the city life, and I want the farthest thing from that. It’s why I live alone in the middle of the woods and own a bar in this small little town with only a few friends. Shayla was the only woman I dated for almost a year before calling it off. We are too different, wanted too many different things. But she’s still one of my closest friends.
“Lance…” Her soft voice hits my ear as I hover my lips over her slender neck, wanting nothing more than to work my lips down her body. A moan leaves her mouth as I press my throbbing cock against her covered pussy. My brain catches up with my stupid dick, and I push away from her, releasing her wrists. Kallie’s mouth is open as she breathes heavily from her place on the couch.
Fuck. I can’t believe I just did that.
“Fuck—Kallie. I’m so sorry. I got carried away.” I run my hand through the top of my hair and start pacing. Robert can’t find out I just dry-humped his daughter. I close my eyes, willing myself to regain control and squash the feelings threatening to spill.
I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself and find some semblance of calm against the storm raging within me. But as I open my eyes to tell her I made a mistake, she’s no longer there.
I decided it was best to give her some space after what happened, knowing we were both just caught up in the moment. I think . There isn’t any way she would be interested, right? No way she’d want an older guy like me.
Bending down, I toss a log into the hot coals. The snow has finally slowed, and the cabin is still nice and toasty. The sun has begun to set, and I know I need to find Kallie, but before I get the chance, a text comes through, pulling my thoughts away from her.
Kiernan : Heard from a little birdy that a young brunette is shacking up with you during this fine snowstorm .
The perks of living in a small town means everyone knows everything. I can’t help but roll my eyes. Barbra, my noisy ass neighbor, is the biggest gossip of everyone. It’s the only explanation. She must’ve seen her with me when we got here. It’s not as if I’m hiding her, but damn, I wish some of these people would stay out of things not concerning them.
Me: Guessing Barbra? If you must know, yes. Kallie is staying with me because her power went out.
Kiernan: did you sleep with her yet?
Me: Not that it’s any of your business, asshole.
Me: No. I didn’t, and I’m not planning on it.
Me: She’s my best friend's daughter.
Kiernan: Shayla is going to eat this up.
Hold on, I’m gonna add her to the chat.
Me: Don’t you dare.
Kiernan added Shayla to the chat.
Kiernan: Lance has his best friend's daughter at his house because her power went out.
Shayla: OMG, Lance, that’s so cute!!!
Did I mention Shayla is a romance author?
Me: would both of you stop? I’m not pursuing anything with her.
Me: She’s too young and probably wants more than I can give her.
Me: oh, and yeah, let’s not forget about the part where she’s ROBERT’S DAUGHTER!
Kiernan: Bro, who cares? He’d probably be happy his daughter is dating a good man.
Shayla: Awe, a forbidden romance. I can see it blossoming now 3
Shayla: on a serious note—do you like her? If you do, don’t waste time fighting your feelings, Lance.
I read Shayla’s messages over a few times. Do I think I could have feelings for Kallie? There has always been something between us, but I’ve never been sure what it was. Every time I was around her, I didn’t want to leave. Then, she moved with that stupid boyfriend to the city. I knew how much it hurt Robert when she stopped coming around as much. The night Robert called me, I had no idea he would tell me Kallie was back, that she was coming to the bar. The moment she walked in, I was overjoyed at the sight of her.
Maybe it was just never the right time until now. Maybe I could give in and have one night with her, just one night of nothing holding us back. No thinking of the consequences, just two people seeing if there could be something between them, even if we shouldn’t.
