“That’s not an easy thing to do.” My stomach twisted as I thought about Skylar and the burden I carried around with me every day.
“It’s not easy, but sometimes letting go and forgiving others and yourself is the only way to move forward in life.” Sidney stared into my eyes. “There’s always more life to live, and sometimes you just have to live it. You don’t want to wake up and be eighty years old and regretting the path you took.”
“Yeah.” I nodded and looked down. “It’s just not that easy to move on. Especially when you know the other person is still living in that place, in that pain, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.”
“There’s never nothing you can do.” Sidney looked up and stared at me. “You just have to think it through a little bit harder. But there’s never nothing you can do.”
“That’s true.” I nodded at him and sighed. There was one thing I could do, but if I did it, there was a possibility I could go to jail for the rest of my life. And even worse than that was the possibility that I could put Skylar in even more harm.
Chapter 5
“Aren’t you going to kiss me?” She gri
“I didn’t want to assume anything.” I smiled at her and studied her pouty bright red lips. “Though I suppose I should have read the signs a bit better.”
“The signs?”
“Your hooker red lipstick.” I laughed.
“Hooker red?” She leaned in closer to me and ran her fingers down my chest.
“Not that I’m calling you a hooker.”
“Of course not.” She pressed her breasts against my chest lightly. “You’d be paying me if I was a hooker, and I would be demanding payment upfront.”
“Payment upfront, huh?” I laughed. “Are you trying to take me for all my money?”
“It depends on how much money you have.” She whispered against my lips. “I’m still waiting, by the way.”
“I suppose if you want a kiss, I shouldn’t disappoint you.”
“I don’t suggest that at all.” Her arms encircled my waist and she pulled me towards her. I felt the bulge in my pants hardening against her stomach, and I guess she felt it as well because I saw her grin and lick her lips.
“Hopefully the kiss doesn’t disappoint you, though,” I teased her before leaning down and tracing my tongue along her lower lip, before sinking my teeth into it.
“I don’t think you’ll disappoint me.” She breathed out huskily before raising her hands to my face and ru
“Come back inside.” She purred as she looked up at me.
“Are you sure?” I held her arms up and pressed her against the door, so she could feel the full length of my hardness against her.
“I want you inside of me, so yes, I’m sure.” She licked her lips slowly and seductively.
“I see.” I laughed, suddenly feeling a bit like a fish out of water.
“I don’t play games, Noah. I know what I want and I want you.” Her face hardened a little bit. “The question is, are you up for it?”
“I’m always up for it.” I growled back at her, not liking how she was challenging my masculinity. There was something about her that put me on edge. I was attracted and intrigued by her, but a part of me didn’t even like her.
“Then come inside.” She grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the apartment. “I told you to be careful of the big bad wolf.”
“I’m no piggy.” I stared back at her. “You’re not going to blow my house down.”
“I wouldn’t be too sure of that.” She laughed as she drew me into her bedroom and pulled her top off. I stared at her as she casually slipped her bra off and flung it into my face. “Don’t play with fire unless you’re prepared to be burned.” She fell back on the bed and stared up at me through veiled eyes. I ignored her words and jumped onto the bed, yanking my shirt off and throwing it on the ground. She grabbed a hold of me and pushed me onto my back, before pulling my pants and hers off in a quick movement. Her mouth was bobbing up and down on my erection within moments and I grunted as I pulled her hair, not feeling anything but the wanton pull of a near-orgasm. My eyes popped open as I heard the sound of footsteps, and I gasped as I saw the eyes of someone watching us through the doorway.
“Wait.” I pulled her away from me in a panic. “I think I just saw someone.”
“Oh.” She looked at me in surprise. “Don’t worry about it.”
“Are you sure?” I frowned at her. “There was someone watching us.”
“She’s a freak.” She shrugged before going back down on me. “I’ll be rid of her soon.”
“Who is—” I started but stopped as I felt myself coming close to a climax. I lay back on the bed, enjoying the sweet feeling of my release, but I couldn’t stop the uncomfortable feeling that was spreading through my body. Who was the girl who had been watching us through the door, and why was I feeling as if I was making the biggest mistake of my life?

“Well, hey, there, stalker.” A voice cut into my thoughts and I looked to the side in irritation. I was surprised to see a familiar face next to me. It was the snotty girl from the restaurant. I groaned inside as I nodded at her. I really didn’t want to deal with the waitress and her issues right now. I also didn’t want to think about the spark I felt when I looked in her eyes. “No hello?” She smiled at me teasingly and I gave her a weak smile back.
