Lex’s face dropped, and she slowly shook her head. Then, she suddenly said, “I have an idea. Help me back up on Banjo.”
A short while later, we were riding up to the barn.
Lex slid off Banjo and yelled, “Hold on!”
I watched her run up the stairs. I looked around to see if any of our friends were still here, but they had all left the barn.
Lex came running back down the stairs. She began looking around and then looked back at me. “Want to be daring?”
“Uh…how daring?”
She bit down on her lower lip. “Really daring.”
I shook my head. “No. I want to live, Lex. My life is really just beginning, and you want to end it prematurely. No, thanks.”
She laughed. “Come on, all our parents are up at the house, and God knows where everyone else is.”
I slid off Banjo and began walking him back to his stall. “Lex, listen to yourself. You want to have sex in your barn—the barn that is close to your house…where your daddy is…with his guns nearby. I want you, Lex. I want you real bad, but I’d like to marry you someday and have kids and—”
I realized what I’d said when her expression changed. I swallowed hard as I turned and gave Banjo some hay and checked his water before I shut the gate to his stall. I turned around, and Lex slammed her body to mine.
“I need you, Will. Now. I have to have you inside me. Please.”
“Shit.”
She ran her hand through my hair and tugged on it hard. I let out a moan and cursed my betraying body.
She pulled away and began climbing the stairs. She glanced over her shoulder and looked back at me. “Luke has a stash of condoms hidden up here.”
Oh good God.
“Lex, maybe we should finish talking.”
She disappeared as I walked back over to the barn entrance and looked out. I didn’t see anyone outside, but I could see people in the house through the kitchen window. I spun around, made my way back to the stairs, and then took them two at a time. I stopped when I saw Lex standing there, naked.
“Fuck,” I whispered.
“I’ll take that, thank you.”
“Lex, we were talking. Don’t you want to finish talking?”
She shook her head and placed her finger in her mouth. I looked her body up and down. I wanted her so damn bad.
