again. Her lips responded, slightly. So I kissed her again. She responded this time. But I could feel her trembling. I kissed her once more and pulled away. I took her beer out of her hands and set it to the side. I grabbed her hands and squeezed them.
    “That came out wrong. If you would let me explain myself before you get all pissed.” She didn’t respond; she was just staring at our hands.
    “I need you to look at me,” I said, and waited until she did. The look on her face said it all. She was worried and she was hurt. Does it make me a complete asshole to admit that made me a little happy? I didn’t want her hurting, but at least it showed that she cared about what happened with us. She wanted this as much as I did, she just didn’t want to admit it.
    “What I can’t do anymore is just pretend we’re fuck buddies. You know it as much as I do that it’s more than that.”
    “But…” Sam tried to interrupt me.
    “Sshh,” I said, and put my index finger over her lips. “I need to say this.”
    “You’re always so hot and cold with me. When I asked you to start dating, you ran. But you came back. We spent the holidays together but you shut me out right after. I don’t understand it. But I’ve always just dealt with it. Because I didn’t want to mess up what we had. I didn’t want to lose you, even if all I got was sex. Don’t get me wrong, sex with you blows my fucking mind, but I want more. When this first started, that was enough, but it’s not anymore.”
    “What if I tell you I can’t give you more?” She said, but I knew she didn’t mean it; she didn’t want to mean it.
    “I’d tell you that you were lying to both of us,” I said, as I brushed my lips across hers.
    She didn’t say a word; she just shook her head yes as she grabbed my shirt and pulled me on top of her.  It wasn’t the response I was hoping for, but I wasn’t going to push her too hard. I put my feelings out there, some of them at least. I knew I would have to tell her everything soon, but for tonight this was enough.  She didn’t take off running through the woods, so I had to be thankful for that. And she felt so good underneath me, I just wanted her closer.
    “You’re so fucking beautiful,” I said, as I looked into her eyes. She didn’t respond with words. She started kissing my neck and my dick immediately got hard. I gently grabbed a fist full of her hair and bit her ear lobe. The sweet little sound that came out of her mouth flipped my switch. I needed her. Now. My fingers went straight to Sam’s zipper and I gave it a quick tug. I immediately felt the heat coming off that perfect pussy. My pussy. All mine.
    “No panties. Good girl.” I whispered in her ear, as I started to pull her jeans down.

    The stars were out and the air was getting chilly fast.  Moon covered my shoulders with one of the blankets he brought along and snuggled against my back. At this moment, I felt so content. But just an hour ago, I thought my whole fucking world was about to come crashing down. I completely misunderstood what he was trying to say. I immediately thought he was ending things, and it scared the shit out of me. I couldn’t keep pretending that I didn’t want him, that I didn’t need him. I had to be honest. For my own fucking sanity, I had to. I couldn’t use my fear as an excuse anymore. I was still scared to death that he would eventually walk away, but I had to give this a chance.  Because losing him in the end couldn’t be any worse than never trying for a beginning. A real beginning. This whole time neither of us had really been honest about our feelings. Moon had the courage to finally tell me how he felt. It was my turn. It wasn’t going to be easy, but I had to give it a try.
    “I’m sorry.” I said quietly.
    “Sorry, for what darlin?’” Moon said, as he kissed my shoulder.
    “For playing head games with you,” I said.
    “What do you mean?” He asked, as he rubbed
