“You’re worried about your aunt?” I nod, and Misty immediately shakes her. “Don’t worry about that old bag. She hasn’t helped you and your dad out yet, has she?”
“No, but maybe in the future–”
“People don’t change, Sky. We are who we are, and your aunt sounds like a selfish old bitch who probably has a crush on your future man here.”
A revelation comes over me like my mind has just exploded with a thought that never even occurred to me.
“Oh my God, you think!?”
“Absolutely.” Misty nods. “Your aunt’s an older lady with a thing for her younger, hot lawncare guy, and she’s getting all territorial because she knows he has the hots for you. So she’s threatening you with something you’ll never get anyway. And even if she decides to put you in her will, how long will it be until she croaks? Decades?”
“Probably.”
“And that’s decades you could have with this guy if things end up working out between you two. Would that be worth it?”
“No.” I shake my head.
“Then it’s pretty obvious what you need to do if you ask me. Don’t you think?”

CADE
SIX DAYS LATER…
Sunday again.
Beatrice is going to do whatever she can to keep Sky and me apart, and maybe even put the moves on me again, but this Sunday, I have a plan.
I told the boys to work on the house gardens and I’d be mowing up by the front gate. They both looked at me like I was crazy, rightly pointing out that the front gate didn’t need any mowing. But I took the push mower up anyway. I just want to keep clear of Beatrice. This way she won’t be able to invite me into the house for any more made-up issues like last week’s leaky pipe.
I pretend to mow, the raised blades not cutting anything, but the whole time I’m just thinking about my beauty…
Sky.
What did a guy like me do to get so lucky to run into a gorgeous princess like her? She’s like something out of a dream, and boy did I dream about her all week too…
…lying there in bed, my eyes closed, stroking my hard-on to thoughts of her until I exploded all over myself like the caveman I am.
I can’t wait to finally lay claim to her by sliding inside that untouched pussy between her sweet thighs.
I bet she’s so tight.
I can’t believe she thought I’d be turned off at the idea that she’s a virgin. How could she not know that I’d just be even more turned on by that?
I’ve been so dying to see her that I even thought about going back to her place to haul her out her window for another session of fun. But I held back. I didn’t want to get us started again on the road to something we couldn’t finish.
I told her the next time we met I’d make her mine somewhere nice and it would be special. But unfortunately, Spencer, my brother, has been crashing with me for the last week and a half, so I haven’t been able to take her back to my place. Talk about cock-blocking.
With the sound of the mower and my earmuffs on, I don’t hear the sound of Sky’s dad’s truck behind me, but I catch it out of the corner of my eye and see him pulling in. Sky gives me a subtle, sexy look with her nymph eyes, and I go crazy.
It’s bad enough I’ve had to be away from her. Now that look has me hard as a rock, wanting to rush after her and drag her out of that truck and rail her on the lawn with the sun blaring down on top of us.
I tell myself to stick to the plan, knowing I should stay out here and keep mowing so Beatrice won’t be able to see me, but I just can’t do it.
It’s like Sky’s truck has a gravitational vortex around it, forcing me to follow her up the drive. I reach area by the steps just in time to watch her walk into the house.
She’s wearing a cute yellow flowery sundress with a pair of light leather flats. Her hair is spilling down over her shoulders, bouncing as she enters. She glances back at me and catches my eye yet again, and it takes everything I have not to wave. After what she told me about her aunt’s warning, I know we have to pretend not to know each other here or interact in any way. Today I’m just another guy working on the grounds, nothing more.
As she steps inside, Beatrice steps out, spots me, and flashes me a seductive smile, at which point I instantly pretend someone has just called me and reach down to pull my phone from my pocket.
I turn away and act as though the conversation is really important, then walk over to Andy like I need to ask him things about the business. He gets what I’m up to and keeps his eye on the door, then signals me when Beatrice is gone.
