I am fucked.

It’s been a little over two weeks of sleeping with Raelynn.

And I am utterly fucked.

I can’t get enough of her.

Her lilac and sugar scent. The way she moans when she is about to come. The way her pussy grips my cock like it needs it to live.

I don’t want to get attached.

I can’t get attached.

But right now, I feel like I am getting attached.

Her birthday changed everything.

I didn’t mean to fuck her raw that morning, but my needs got the best of me. I think hers did too. Because ever since then she hasn’t cared about a damn condom and I have shown her many times just how grateful I am for that.

It’s also the first time since Leigh that I’ve done it.

I am always careful. Always smart about it.

But waking up to find her sound asleep next to me, I almost lost it.

For once in my life, I didn’t just want to fuck the girl lying next to me.

I wanted to hold her and cherish her.

So, I let myself do it.

Even if it was just for a night.

I had confessed to her I had feelings. But I don’t think she understood the depths of those feelings.

And I don’t want to face the fact that these feelings aren’t reciprocated.

Today was the longest day of my life. We are on the cusp of harvesting and I was out on the farm for ten hours today. Then I had to go to my dad’s and help him out with his crops that were already ready to go.

By the time I pull into the parking spot outside of the cottage, I am ready for a cold beer and a dose of Rae.

I walk into the cottage surprised to see it’s dark inside. I kick my boots off at the door and head for the refrigerator. I grab a beer, pop the top off and chug half of it down.

I text Rae to see where she is, but I hear her phone go off and see it sitting on the coffee table.

She must be in the house. She rarely brings her phone with her when she is working. I know there is a big wedding over the weekend and Summer was flipping out over the house being perfect.

I slam the rest of my beer and head to the shower. Ready to rinse off the day. I am in the shower for a good twenty minutes. When I come out, there is still no sign of Rae. I decide to plop on the couch with another beer and wait for her.

Two hours pass and she still hasn’t come home. I decide to head to the house and see if she is in there. I tie my shoes and head across the yard as it starts to rain.

I get in the house and find Summer sitting on the couch watching television with a big bowl of ice cream sitting on her belly.
