“But I also know the world is always changing, and our views change.Being open with you to make your own choices, all I can say is as long as you’re not feeling pressured.”
Larissa knew how hard this was for her father.“Dad, I’ll make the right choices.I promise.”
“He’s not pressuring you?Whoever he is?”
“No, no, no pressure, I promise.”
“Does this mean you’re seeing someone?”Jonah asked.
“I don’t actually know what you’d call it.”
“But you have feelings for him?”
Larissa smiled.“I do.I look forward to seeing him, and he makes me so happy.”
“Will I ever get to meet him?”
She chuckled.“I don’t know.Maybe one day.”She didn’t go into the fact that when Big Dick looked at her, it was like butterflies were going off in her stomach.She loved the few times they were able to fall asleep together, and the connection they seemed to have.
Jonah sighed.
“Trust me, Dad, please.”
“I do trust you, I just don’t want to see you get hurt.”
And she knew he was talking about her mother.She went to him and wrapped her arms around him.“I love you, Dad.”
“I just wish I could protect you from everything.That is all I ever want.You’re a good person, Larissa, and it terrifies me that ...you’re going to get hurt.”
She got it.The shooting and Andrew’s reaction had been quite the eye-opening experience.
“It’s going to be okay,” she said.
But her father squeezed her just a little tighter.
“I love you, sweetheart,” he said.
She knew he had to go and had responsibilities as the priest.She had already packed him a lunch, and she stood at the doorway to see him off.
Once she saw her father was gone, Larissa grabbed her cardigan, house keys, and let herself out.She walked down the road, following the directions Big Dick had given her.
Sneaking around town wasn’t particularly fun, especially when it came to finding time together.Last night, he’d asked if it was possible for her to get away.He had a small date planned.It was strange, going on a date with Big Dick.Sex was a big step.She knew she and Big Dick had done so much more than that.Yet, a date was not one of those things.
She was on the long road out of Fort Clover when a car pulled up beside her.
“Well, hello there, pretty lady.Looking for a ride?”Big Dick asked.
He was two completely different people, and she rushed toward the passenger side of the car and quickly climbed in.Before she could buckle her seat belt, Big Dick leaned over, gripped the back of her neck, and pulled her in for a kiss.The butterflies were wreaking havoc on her body.
“Was it easy to get away?”
“My dad is busy today, so yeah, it was quite easy.”She offered him a smile.“Where are we going?”
“I found a small spot a while back.No one will find us, we’ll be completely alone.”
She liked the sound of that.Over the past month, whenever they had crossed paths, they had been able to find an excuse to kiss, to touch, to explore.There was always a risk of someone interrupting them in Fort Clover.
Big Dick reached out and took her hand, locking their fingers together.This felt so good.
