except the silhouette of a dark figure walking slowly and uncertainly into the building. The door closed behind him.

“You here?” Robbie whispered. “Are you here?” He whispered again, only louder this time. There was a thump when he bumped into something and a few curses. “Damn it. Come on out and eat some of this watermelon off my dick!”

I had to bite my fist to stop from laughing. As much as I wanted to flip the light switch right away, I was waiting in hopes that Max would arrive soon enough.

Luckily, the front door opened just a few seconds later. I saw another dark silhouette of a man creep into the room. “Hey,” he called in a deep voice I recognized as Max’s. “I brought the watermelon you asked for. I hope you’re hungry.”

Before Robbie could reply, I flicked on the light switch. Suddenly, the twenty or so people gathered with us in the small room had an unfiltered view of Robbie—who had skewered about five pieces of watermelon with his erect penis and was otherwise naked. Max, on the other hand, was clutching a full-size watermelon with what I assumed must’ve been a small—very small—penis-size hole in it. Both men were butt naked and staring wide eyed at all of us.

“This isn’t what it looks like,” Robbie said.

Cade burst out laughing, along with everyone else who had come to watch the surprise show.

“Hey,” Cade said. “I think Max looks hungry. Give him some of that watermelon like you were planning.”

Max decided the wisest course of action was to turn and run for the front door. Robbie paused just long enough to glare at me before he ran toward the back door and shuffled out with one hand covering his ass crack.

Nick looked down at me. “Do you think he knows you’re not going to take his job now?”

I grinned. I hadn’t thought of it when I was quickly coming up with this plan, but in a way, I’d made a final decision without realizing it. Robbie was almost certainly going to tell Max to run the story now. Maybe that should’ve scared me or made me feel sick to my stomach, but I was surprised to find it didn’t.

“Maybe he could give Max the job instead. They could have Watermelon Wednesdays every week if they wanted.”

Nick laughed. “They’re going to have a hard time living that down, aren’t they?”

“I hope so.”

Chapter 26

NICK

West Valley was a town of rolling green, pristine hills. Wildflowers and gently blowing grass were often no more than a few steps from any given building, and in some places, you could travel only a few feet down a hill and find yourself with a view of nothing but the valley and the hills in every direction.

Once we’d finished getting payback on Max and Robbie, we were able to easily slip away from the festival without being noticed. Everybody who had been at the town hall with us had been busy recounting increasingly embellished versions of what had happened.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure it would’ve mattered if we’d had an audience. It had been less than a day since I’d had her in the shower in LA, and I was already ravenous for more.

I had dragged her by the hand to a place on the hill. Once I’d looked around and decided it was as good as any, I’d gestured to the ground.

The setting sun caught her face as she smiled, highlighting just how breathtaking she was. I could even see the faint silhouette of her body through her summer dress. It was far more girly and casual than what she normally wore, but I was absolutely enjoying the look on her.

“I know you mentioned wanting a chance to get to taste me,” she said. When she slowly got down on her knees in front of me, I think my heart rate doubled. “But . . .” Her hands went to my belt and started working on getting my pants loose. “As your business partner, I don’t think it would be an equitable exchange if you got to taste me last time and I didn’t get the same opportunity.”

“I never expected dirty business talk to turn me on,” I said. “But I accept your offer.”

She grinned, then pulled my already hard cock free. Watching her study it for a moment before taking it in her mouth gave me goose bumps. She felt so unbelievably good. Her lips were so warm, and her hot tongue slid across
