“I’ve been wanting to taste your lips since the first time I saw you,” Burke says lowly.

“Burke,” I start to speak but he cuts me off.

“Let’s go on our scavenger hunt, Sage. I don’t want to say or do something that will scare you away when you are justletting me in. Unless you would rather leave.”

I shake my head with a smile. “I’d like to stay.”

He grabs my hand, pulling me into his side before slamming the truck door. I am lost in thought, replaying his revelation in my mind. I want to hear more. No, I need to hear more.

Burke reads through the clues as we walk but I don’t hear a word he is saying, all I can hear is the rapid beat of my heart. He wanted to kiss me? Is this a real date?

We’ve wandered quite a bit into the forest when I pull us to a stop.

“What’s wrong?” Burke asks with a frown as he takes me in from head to toe. “Are you cold?”

In any other situation, I would be but my blood feels like it’s boiling.

“Is this a date, Burke?”

He looks taken aback by my question. “I was hoping it was.”

“Oh.”

“What do you mean,oh?”

“Nothing.” I continue walking along the path, but Burke drags me behind some trees, pinning my back against one, the hard bark digging into my back.

“Explain that.” His voice is gruff and low and sends tingles skittering up my spine.

“Why would you want to go on a date with me?” I ask, my old insecurities in the lead once more. “You could have any woman in town, I’m sure of it.”

“I don’t want any woman in town.”

“You can’t seriously expect me to believe that you want me.”

“Why wouldn’t I want you, Sage?” he asks with a frown creasing his forehead.

My heart beats wildly in my chest. Perhaps I should just grab this chance with both hands instead of allowing my issues to drag me down.

“Talk to me,” he says, tucking some stray hair behind my ear. “What is happening in that pretty little head of yours?”

The genuine concern in his gaze has the words spilling from my lips without my permission “I am the fat girl, Burke. I don’t need a pity date, I just want you to be honest with me.”

Chapter Four

Burke

Her words are the thing that finally push me over the edge and have the last vestiges of my decency disintegrating. The darkness I have felt seeping into me finally takes hold and I no longer have control of my body. Lifting one of her legs I push her juicy thigh over my hip before thrusting my erection against her sex. A tiny noise escapes her throat.

“You want honesty? I haven’t wanted another woman since I saw you that first day at the diner.” I rub myself against her. “I dream of these thick thighs spread for me and every morning I jerk my cock in the shower to thoughts of these lush tits. I hate that you call yourself fat. I don’t see you that way, I see a sexy ass woman that can handle a real man.”

I can’t believe I am saying all these things to her. I have lost all control.

“If I scare her, so be it,”a dark voice filters into my mind.“I don’t care anymore and neither should you. She should be afraid of us. I am on the precipice of losing my goddamned mind and just taking her, whether she wants us or not.”

Fear and confusion swirl and lodge in my gut. None of this makes any damn sense and I’m afraid of myself right now, to be honest.

Lowering her leg, I allow her a little room to breathe as I run my index finger along her cleavage. Yes, I want to touch her but this is different. I’m not controlling my movements.
