Every sexual fantasy I had now revolved around Reese, and a big part of me wanted to act out every one of those fantasies with her.

But the way that I cared about her made everything so damn complicated.

“Let’s go home,” I said as I took her hand and picked up my bag.

“Are you angry because I spilled all that information?” Reese asked after we’d gotten settled into her vehicle with her at the wheel. “You’re pretty quiet right now.”

Her SUV was small, so it wasn’t comfortable for a large guy like me to drive in the confined space, and it was her vehicle.

“Not at all,” I replied as I put the seat back as far as it would go to try to accommodate my long legs. “I always want you to be honest with me about how you feel. I guess I’m just trying to adjust to the fact that you just offered me your body as well as your friendship. I’m glad you trust me.”

“I hear a ‘but’ in there somewhere,” she probed.

“There’s not,” I assured her. “I care about you, Reese, and that makes things a little complicated.”

“It really doesn’t have to be,” she said nonchalantly. “I think our friendship is solid enough to stay friends once the lust part of the relationship burns out for us.”

Yeah, but there was a problem with that. I wasn’t sure I’d ever get my fill of Reese once I’d been inside her.

I had a feeling I’d always want more.

“And if it doesn’t burn out?” I asked.

“I’m sure it will for you,” she said stoically. “It doesn’t sound like you’ve stayed hooked up with a woman for long.”

I couldn’t take offense because her observation was true.

“I can’t say that I was friends with any of them, and I never wanted them in the same way I want you,” I said a little defensively.

Reese wouldn’t be just another hookup for me.

She didn’t look at me because she was driving toward my place as she replied reasonably, “Then we see what happens and communicate. When you’re ready to end it, we’ll stop. I doubt that I’ll be the first one to want to stop. Especially if you’re capable of making me orgasm.”

Her tone was teasing, like she wanted to put a little levity into the serious discussion.

“You just got back from a long business trip,” she explained. “I shouldn’t have dumped that on you the moment you got off the jet. Let’s relax for a while and forget that I even said anything. It’s been a long week for you, Devon.”

There was no way in hell that I was going to forget that she’d offered me her body.

But maybe she was right about changing the subject.

My cock was so hard that my balls were turning blue.

“Tell me what I missed while I was gone,” I suggested.

“Not a whole lot,” she shared. “Not a lot changes in Crystal Fork in five days. I think we’re ready for the fundraiser tomorrow. We’re just going to need help hauling stuff around at the park early in the morning. I visited Luna every day and gave her some love and a piece of banana, but she was sad because we couldn’t go out and ride. I promised you that I wouldn’t ride without you while you were gone, but I think you need to cut me loose to ride on my own.”

“Not yet,” I grumbled.

Technically, Reese could probably do some rides on the trails by herself, but the thought of something happening to her as a novice rider on her own still worried me.

She was getting pretty familiar with some of the trails, but anything could happen from an unexpected wildlife encounter to meeting up with someone who didn’t belong on our property.

I always carried a firearm out on the trails as a precaution.

“I think I should teach you to shoot so you have some kind of protection while you’re out on the trails alone,” I added.

She shook her head emphatically. “I don’t think I could shoot an animal, even to protect my own life. Couldn’t I just carry bear spray. It works on all mammals, right?”
