“I know,” he says. “I made it; I’ll make you one, too.”
“So can we?” I ask. “You don’t think it’ll get too cold.”
“No,” he says. “We can go get all the blankets from all seven beds in this house. We’ll be fine. Besides, you keep me warm anyway. That’s all I need.”
“Your forest fire?”
“My own natural disaster,” he says.
He presses his lips to the back of my neck, and we stay like that until the last of the sun sets. Once it does, we race through the house, gathering pillows and comforters and throwing them over the balcony into the backyard below. I make us a pillow bed, and Ty moves the furniture and drapes a blanket across the top, and we end up with this plush outdoor blanket fort to sleep in.
I fall onto my back inside our fort, and Ty adds another log to the fire, then does the same. He props his head on his elbow and looks down at me.
“What?” I ask.
He leans in, his mouth finding mine, and then moves on top of me, kissing me, moving his hands inside the hoodie before pulling it over my head. He unties the sides of my bikini bottoms, and it falls away, then his mouth moves down my body, onto my neck, then my chest, giving attention to each of my nipples before making his way down my stomach and closing over my clit.
“Oh, my god, that feels good,” I tell him. I’m already sore from all the sex; I’ve come so many times today already that I wouldn’t have thought I could go again, but after just a minute with his mouth on me, it becomes apparent that I’ve miscalculated.
He slips two fingers inside me, curling them inward as he fucks me and sucks me into his mouth. His tongue rolling over my clit—up and down, back and forth—until I’m rolling my hips against him and lifting onto my heels, desperate for more friction.
“Oh, fuck…” it comes out as a whimper, spasms wracking my body as I come on his face. He doesn’t stop, and it’s almost too much for me to take when he licks me through it until my body stills.
He sits up on his knees and pulls his jeans down. When his dick springs free, he fists it, pumping it in his hand.
“Can you take me again?” he asks.
“Yes,” I tell him.
He leans down, pushing his thick cock into my wet, aching pussy, and fucks me until I’m sure I won’t be able to walk tomorrow.
We fall asleep together under the stars, perfectly content. The sounds of the forest, the dying embers of the fire, and Ty’s light snoring into my shoulder comfort me as I drift off. It isn’t cold at all.

Summer 1999
When I walk into the house the following day, he’s there again. Grant and my mother are sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee while Emma watches cartoons. Leaning in close to his chest, she laughs while he whispers something in her ear. She squeezes his thigh under the table, then kisses him on the mouth. I realize I must be scowling because when her eyes meet mine, she returns the look.
I say nothing as I walk past them, grabbing a mug from one of the upper cabinets and filling it.
“Mel, did you see the earrings Grant got for me?” my mom asks, pushing her blonde hair away from her ears and revealing two oval diamonds.
So what, this guy is like…her boyfriend now? Is that what’s happening?
“They look nice,” I reply dully. I add just a splash of milk to my cup then bring it to my lips and sip.
“And where have you been?”
It takes me a moment to realize it’s Grant who’s speaking, and he’s talking to me.
“What?”
“You weren’t out all night were you?” he asks.
I furrow my brow, incredulous, but no sound comes out. I wait for my mom to say something, but she doesn’t. She looks at me like she’s waiting for an answer, too—as if she’s spent a moment of the last eighteen years worrying about where I was or what I was doing.
“I don’t have time for…whatever this is,” I say, gesturing dramatically with my free hand. “I have to get ready for work.”
