We’re both silent for a few minutes, until I let out a satisfied sigh. He does the same, and the sun sets, and I’ve somehow forgotten about Tammy and my dad because I’m chasing mydreams, and right now, my dreams consist of Peter and his magical dick. And mouth. And hands.
Yeah. This is super casual.
CHAPTER 29
I SWEAR SHE SWALLOWED MY SOUL WITH MY CUM.
DARCY
She didn’t stay over.
But she called me baby and sucked my dick so good, I swear she swallowed my soul with my cum.
She let me play with her hair, and she lay on my chest in content silence while the sun set over the ocean.
She laughed with me.
She didn’t hold back when she wanted to touch me or kiss me.
She ate a meal with me, and we talked about ourselves without having to withhold names or specific details.
She let me kiss her against her truck and then asked, “Can I see you tomorrow?” And I kissed her again, whispering “yes,” and “every fucking day,” between kisses as she giggled.
It was the best day of my life.
I’m in love.
Okay, so I’mprobablynot. But this feeling is so good, I refuse to let it go, at least for tonight.
And that’s why I’m about to fall asleep with a huge smile on my face.

CHAPTER 30
THIS IS A GUILT NANAIMO BAR.
DARCY
We have a routine now, six days into this new arrangement. She comes over when she’s done with work, and I feed her—not literally, because she would hate that so very much. I always make sure I have snacks at the ready, and despite being a shit cook, I’ve attempted more than grilling every single meal. I used a food delivery service in Toronto, but Balsam Bay definitely doesn’t have one of those, and my city kid ways are starting to show. But I’m trying, and that’s gotta count for something.
I’ve finished another surfing lesson when my phone pings.
Beth:
Incoming proof that I’m not the only one who has run-ins with Tammy!
The next thing I know, there’s a photo of Cole giving the camera the finger, a pink-and-brown pig trotting behind him.
Beth:
Matty just sent me this.
Somebody really needs to turn that jerk into some delicious bacon.
Mmm bacon. I’m so hungry. I forgot my lunch again!
I swear this woman forgets to eat more often than not.
