I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the one who told her where I was. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. How she found us so easily. How she was so hurt by my actions. How my impulsiveness was just the beginning of my destruction, stirring up a hurricane of emotions I couldn’t save us from.

You reaped what you sow, and there I was with my dick tucked in between my legs...

Waiting.

For her.

The second she opened the door to her bedroom, she jolted out of her skin. The same way my heart came to life at the sight of her finally standing in front of me.

There’s nowhere to go, Harley.

With her hand over her chest, she fumed, “You just scared the shit outta me!”

I sat there on her bed for what felt like forever.

An eternity of what-ifs.

Having a goddamn pity party for myself.

“Good,” I snapped. “At least I got some fuckin’ reaction out of you today. What the fuck kind of stunt was that back there? You could have been killed! I could have watched you die a brutal death!”

“Isn’t it obvious? I’d rather die than talk to you.”

I winced, showing her clear as day how much that just hurt me.

She didn’t back down, not that I expected her to.

“How did you even get in here?”

“Gremlin, I’ve been sneaking into your room since elementary school.”

“No shit! How do you always get in here?”

“Baby girl—”

“Stop callin’ me that! You have no right to be in here! You need to leave! Now!”

“Not gonna happen. I’m not leaving until you hear me out. I have a lot to say and you’re gonna listen whether you want to or not.”

She cocked her head to the side, defiance written all over her pretty face.

“You know what?” she uttered in one breath. “I’ve always wanted to know what would happen if my brothers or my daddy found you in my bed.”

I grinned, looking her over with a predatory regard. “It’s nice to know you spend time fantasizing about having me in your bed. Tell me, am I on top or are you riding me?” I smiled, sucking in my bottom lip. “Given the chance, baby girl, I’d let you choose.”

Her mouth dropped open. “You got ten seconds to get the hell out of my face, or I will scream bloody murder you’re in my room. Uninvited. My brothers are right downstairs, and my daddy is in his shed. Who do you think will make it up here first? My brothers or my father? ’Cuz I sure as shit would love to find out.”

“Harley.” I sternly shook my head. “Don’t fuckin’ try me.”

“Five seconds.”

“Gremlin...”

“Three and I’ll scream.”

“So fuckin’ scream.”

She didn’t hesitate. “J—”

I jumped off the bed and was in her face. My hand cupping her mouth before she could get out the second letter of my name. Kicking the door shut with my foot, I backed her into the wall, muffling her scream.

Snarling, “You fuckin’ brat.”

I didn’t give her a chance to fight me off, gripping onto her wrists. I held them above her head and stepped in between her legs, so she couldn’t knee me in the balls.

Her nostrils flared, and her chest heaved. Causing her tits to pop from the seam of her stupid sequins shirt, barely covering her in the first place.

My dick twitched, and my heart sped up.

She glared at me, and I held onto her tighter.

My mouth getting nice and close to my hand over her lips, I spoke the truth I’d been dying to confess, “What you saw this weekend meant nothing to me. It was just a fuck. Do you understand me?”

Her eyes widened.

“Nod like a good little girl if you understand.”

Goddamn it! The fuck?

The little shit bit my hand.

She went to scream again, but this time I stuffed the apple from her hand in her mouth instead.

Blurting out with no indecision whatsoever, “I’m sorry.”

Her eyes widened again, and I swear her heart stopped beating against my chest. Never expecting me to say those two words.

Even her shocked response didn’t stop me from continuing on. “Baby girl, you may see me as a liar in your eyes, but you proved yourself to be untrustworthy as well. All this time, Gremlin ... all these fuckin’ years ... after all our talks, our letters, our fuckin’ hate. You knew what was constantly on my mind, in the forefront of my thoughts, in my dreams and nightmares. You’ve known ... you’ve always fuckin’ known without me having to say anything to you about it. And what? Constantly being a pain in my ass, a broken fuckin’ record when you’ve had my worst fear in the palm of your hands. So that, Harley Jameson, makes you a liar too.”

Grabbing the apple out of her mouth, I took a bite and let her go. Stating, “Just like in the Garden of Eden, I fell into temptation. People have been making bad decisions since the beginning of time. I took a bite of the forbidden fruit under the pier this weekend, but trust me when I say ... it was you, I was swallowing, not her.”
