She now remains completely silent, and I sigh before proceeding.

"If you just let me meet him, Lil, all your problems will disappear, won't they? Mom trusts my input, since I'm a good judge of character."

Arlo suddenly scoffs behind me, and my focus darts to him, to which he raises an eyebrow at me just as Lily responds.

"Alright, I'll try to arrange something, but please promise me you won't scare him away."

As I speak, I pull my gaze away from Arlo's intense stare.

"I'll give it my best."

"How's the job going?"

I think about how crazy things have been since I’ve been here before I respond.

"Yeah, things are going well."

"And what about the asshole boss?"

I throw a glance over my shoulder at Arlo, and my gaze moves down his body.

"Yeah, interesting."

When my attention returns to Arlo, he narrows his eyes and tilts his head to the side, clearly sensing we’re talking about him.

"He's there, isn't he?"

“Yep.”

“Okay, I'll let you go, but I'll get in touch with you, and I love you.”

Before responding, I bring my eyes back forward.

"I love you too."

When I end the call, I gently place my phone down on the counter and lift my banana while I speak.

“What was that scoff all about?”

I can hear his footsteps slowly approaching me as I peel away the layer.

Before I know it, his tattooed arms are on each side of me on the counter, and he dips his head.

“Do mommy and daddy know you're fucking a sick and sadistic asshole?”

As I respond, I keep my eyes fixed on the banana.

"Of course not."

“Good judge of character, my ass.”

He brings his mouth even closer to my ear, as if attempting to intimidate me.

“Only if you knew what kind of fucked-up person you've been allowing to slide into that sweet, innocent pussy of yours.”

I speak calmly while looking ahead.

“Oh, I know exactly who you are, Arlo, but I can't help that you know how to make me come harder than ever before, and now I'm addicted to that big cock of yours.”
