“Um, should we be here?”Dani looks between Edmund and me.
“My family owns this land.”Edmund’s paying attention now, although mentioning his family seems to bring him down.
“We used to come up here and drink with a handful of friends, back in college.”I shoot him a look.Tonight’s supposed to be fun for Dani.Whatever shit we need to handle with his family, that can come later.
He seems to snap out of it.“Yeah, Troy and I would come up here sometimes when things got too intense with school, work, whatever.”
“With Edmund’s father,” I add.
“He’s a bit intense,” Dani says.
I pull up to a ridge overlooking San Esteban on one side.On the other side, it overlooks Fair Heights, a suburb of San Esteban.One large oak tree provides a canopy, and stars peek at us through the leaves and branches.
A bright bolt of blue light streaks upward before exploding in a scattering of blue, white, and green.
“The Fair Heights fireworks?”Dani asks.
“Exactly.Little known fact,” I say, “but if you can get high up enough, they’re visible from San Esteban.They’re pretty far away, though.”
“But beautiful,” Dani breathes.
I turn the truck around so we’re facing away from the fireworks.
“What are you doing?”Dani tugs on my arm.
“That’s what the blanket is for.We’ll sit in the back.”
“Ohhhh.”
We spill out of the truck and I spread Dani’s blanket over the truck bed.Edmund helps lift her up so she can climb in next to me, then he follows her.I lean back against the cab and spread my legs a little to make space for Dani.
Grinning, she snuggles in close and leans back against my torso.Probably not wanting Edmund to feel left out, she reaches over and takes his hand.She kisses his knuckles and, with a mischievous smile, bites him.
So that’s how this is going to go.

“Little brat.”Edmund tugs on her ponytail.
She keeps hold of his hand, kissing the spot she bit.“Sorry.”
“You don’t sound sorry.”I toy with the edge of her shirt.It would be so easy to reach up and grab a handful of her tits.But I brought her here for the fireworks.I’ll restrain myself.
As another explosion of color brightens the sky, Dani sighs and snuggles into me, shifting to get comfortable.The movement wakes up my dick.I don’t think she realizes what she’s doing.
Until she does it again.
I put my mouth close to her ear.“Are you messing with me?”
“Me?Never.”
The fireworks over Fair Heights continue bursting in bright flowers of color, one after another.I slide a hand beneath Dani’s shirt and lay it over her stomach.It’s not an obvious tease, but from the way her breath hitches and she squirms, it’s working.
She brings Edmund’s hand to her lips.Her tongue darts out as she tastes one of his fingertips.
Edmund gives her a fond look.“Are you trying to tell us something, princess?”
