“Uhh, nothing. Just confused.” I step on the creased edge of the silo, using it as a foothold to climb all the way onto the ladder.

“Okay…” he mumbles under his breath as he stands up.

I climb a little higher before I hear him grunting and look down to see him hoisting his body up onto the ladder. His shoulder muscles flex with the effort, and I feel a little warm. Once he’s on, he looks up at me. His smile fades, and he jerks his eyes away.

“Uhh, Harley…maybe you should climb up, and I’ll…just go up after you,” he mutters, keeping his eyes off of me.

“What? No way! I’m terrified of falling. Can you get closer, please?” My voice rises with panic. “I’m slightly afraid of heights.”

He doesn’t move, but I can hear him blow out a breath.

“Okay, uh, I would, but…you’re wearing a short skirt, and I, uh…” He clears his throat. “I can see your…your…I can see up it.”

I can’t see his face, but I would bet it’s as crimson as the thong I’m wearing.

“Oh…well then, what color are my panties?” I ask casually.

He doesn’t respond for a few seconds.

“I can’t tell…it’s dark. I just saw the bottom of your…” He doesn’t finish, apparently waiting for me to relieve his discomfort in the situation.

“Listen, I really am afraid of heights, so can you just please climb a little closer?” I’m about to burst out laughing, but I hold it in.

He slowly starts to climb, his face trained on the rungs in front of him instead of above. He reaches up to my calves and stops.

“Okay, are you ready?” His voice is strained, his eyes glued to the silo.

“Can we go together, please? At the same time?” I plead.

He nods his head, apparently not wanting to speak.

I start to ascend up the side of the enormous structure.

My favorite work jeans have never been so uncomfortable. I saw right up under her skirt, and she has to be joking about her panties because I only saw bare skin. My lower back is sweating, and we’re only about halfway up. I feel like this was a terrible idea, considering her fear of snakes and heights.

Great job, idiot, bringing her out in a field to climb a silo.

We’re nearing the top when she gasps, and I jerk my head up.

Her butt is directly in line with my vision, and I nearly lose my grip on the ladder as my hands start to sweat.

I’ve never seen such a flawless, round body part in my life. Her shape couldn’t be more perfect if I had dreamed it into existence. Realizing that I’ve been leering like a pervert, my face heats as I jerk it away.

“Are you okay? What’s wrong?” I ask in a husky voice.

In the corner of my eye, I see the lights. Turning my face further, I’m met with the view I hoped we would see up here.

The Texas hill country is a rolling, mountainous area with small hills and valleys stretching for miles. The lights of Greencity are glittering in the distance with smaller ones dotting the countryside beyond. It’s difficult to determine where the land meets the sky. The night lights stretching across the land mirror the stars shining above. A sliver of the moon is a crescent above us.

“Wow…” Harley breathes. “This is literally breathtaking.”

The ladder leads me up a few more spaces until I’m standing on the one directly under her feet, my arms stretching around her body. Her delicious green-apple scent wafts toward me, mixed with beer from her work.

“Now, you know what I meant.” I hope she remembers my similar description when I saw her at the dance.
