mouth with another bite.
    “What does uh-huh mean?” She lifted a brow.
    What was she fishing for exactly? “Well, that was part of the bargain. You stay as long as needed and then leave. Right?” Don’t let your wall crumble .
    “Yes, that’s right.” Her shoulders slumped some. He gave her another bite and she chewed.
    “An agreement is an agreement.”
    She pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear. “I wanted to tell you why I was angry with you over the years.”
    He sighed. This should be good. “Why I became the target of your animosity?”
    “After you and I kissed…you know, behind the barn…I expected to hear from you again, but you disappeared. Not even an explanation. I mean, I realize we weren’t a couple but a girl expects a man who kisses her like you did me to at least come and see her before he leaves town.” She played with the hem of her shirt.
    He watched her slender fingers move over the material. “I’m sorry about that, Pearl. I was young and had my focus on the future.” No way could he tell her that he’d wanted to see her again, but his feelings had scared him.
    “That’s no way to treat a girl.” She moistened her lips.
    “You’re right.” He reached for her, pulling her close.
    “But let’s not think about the past. Let’s enjoy every minute we have.” She stood up and grabbed his hand. “Think we can get kinky before Nash comes in?”
    He jumped off the couch. “I think we’ll get the privacy we deserve. Nash will be asleep as soon as his head hits his pillow.”

    Ten minutes later, they were both stripped of their clothes and Pearl was crawling into bed, patting the spot beside her. “Don’t make me wait, cowboy.” She used her most seductive voice.
    He climbed in next to her and he was barely under the sheet when she was pushing him back onto the pillow. “Hmm. Feeling frisky, huh?” He chuckled.
    “I’m feeling horny. Must have been the chocolate cake.” She kissed his jaw, his neck, downward across his six-pack. His breath caught. “And by the looks of things,” she skimmed the tips of her fingers across his full erection. “You are too.”
    “I always am around you.” His words vibrated his chest.
    She licked his hipbone. “Then we shouldn’t waste one second.”
    “I’m going to be honest here. I’ve never had a woman in my bed. You’re the first.”
    She looked up his body and met his gaze. A big piece of her heart melted. “Aww…I feel special.” And she meant it.
    “Well, when a man is living at home he doesn’t get to bring chicks back to his bachelor pad. I mean, I could have, but I would have my brothers acting like childish idiots. That doesn’t impress the ladies.”
    His confession made her smile. Most women probably wouldn’t like a man who lived at home, even when he looked this good. But she realized his circumstances were different. He wasn’t freeloading, but he had a plan in the mix. He ran a business. He was successful and the living-at-home aspect wouldn’t last long. He had plans to build his own house. Not that it mattered to her. After she’d mentioned she would be leaving soon, he shrugged it off as unimportant.
    She wrapped her fingers around his girth and led the tip to her mouth. She licked the pearl of pre-cum from the slit and he shivered. “Now this is a birthday I’ll never forget.”
    “That’s my intention.” She closed her mouth over his sex and suckled him to the back of her throat. She wished her mouth was bigger so she could get all of him at once. She swirled her tongue around his purple head, and pumped her fists around him. His body tensed.
    “Darlin’, as much as I love a good blowjob, I want to sink myself into you.” He reached down, cupped his hands under her arms and tugged her up on the bed until she was beside him.
    She moaned when he sank his finger deep into her body, then joined it with another digit. She spread her legs wide, giving him full access to her core. He
