“What did Attie take?” Let asks when my brother lists slightly to the right.
“Two moonshines. The one he makes. At least that’s what I saw. Who knows what else he had?”
“Fuck’s sake,” Let murmurs.
“What? Why the judgment, dude?” Attie whines. “I invited you over, and you weren’t interested in coming, so I had to drink it myself.”
Attie falls into Let’s side and hiccups. “I was busy.”
“You’re always busy,” Attie whimpers, and I realize that something more is at play here.
Maybe it’s time to go. I lean over to whisper into Glenn’s ear. “Do you want to see the rest of the town, or do you want to get out of here?”
Glenn wets his lips. If he’s a little buzzed from the moonshine, he doesn’t show it.
“Yeah. Let’s go.”
“Should we run?” I ask, and his lips twitch.
“You think Attie will be able to keep up?”
“No, he’s a shit runner and even worse when he’s wasted.”
With that, Glenn turns and pulls me along with him. Our feet hit the dirt ground as we run out of the small downtown area. Behind us, I hear Attie trying to race after us, but a curse and a thump have me thinking he fell trying to get his feet to move.
“Fuck’s sake,” I hear Let grunt.
He is a really shit runner. I wasn’t lying.
We skid around a corner and dash into the woods, my lungs constricting, my heart thumping. This brings back memories of being chased by Glenn. Only this time, he’s not chasing me. He’s runningwithme.
I like this just as much.
We slow to a stop, and I see Glenn hasn’t even broken out in a sweat.
“Screw you for not even breathing heavily,” I wheeze.
He grins and pulls me into him. Now I’m breathless for a different reason. His lips cover mine, and he licks into my panting mouth. Just the taste of him has me wet again, his hard cock pressed up against my own.
I can smell my fragrance growing stronger despite the pendant I’m wearing.
“Should I apologize?” he murmurs before pushing his tongue into my mouth. He tastes like moonshine, and I feel myself growing drunk from it. I groan, my fingers curling into his shirt. But before I can deepen the kiss, he pulls away, leaving me to chase after his lips.
“You’re teasing me,” I murmur. “Is this punishment for having a past?”
“Are we together?”
I stare at him and then swallow. “Yeah. I’d like that.”
“Mm,” he hums and then pulls me closer. “Good. And just so you know, I want you right now, but this isn’t the place for it. I think they’d watch.”
I let out a laugh and press my forehead to his chest, my scent distinctly vanilla and peach. “Yeah, they really would.”
“You let them watch you when you were here?”
“I mean, I had no choice, and when you’re in heat, you don’t really care who sees. You just want relief.”
Glenn’s eye twitches, but he says, “Yeah, I get that. I’m not blaming you.” He steps back and then runs a hand down his face, letting out a long sigh. “You don’t think I am, do you?”
