to go somewhere so she can follow me, then she doesn’t realize I’m dating Eliza and she thinks I’m inside my house.”
“What happens when you go home and Eliza wants to see you later this week?”
“I don’t know. We’re trying to enjoy the weekend and not think about it. I think I’m going to convince her that we need to stay out of the public eye together until Robin’s found. Eliza can’t come to my house and I can’t get caught going over to hers.”
“Do you have a way to protect Eliza if it comes to that?” Hank asked.
“Yeah, if it comes down to it, I do.”
“What exactly are your intentions with our girl in there?” Grunt growled. I looked over at him and so did Hank. “What? I thought it might be good to practice for when my girls start dating. In 30 years.”
“I’ve known Eliza from a distance forever, but we’ve only been seeing each other for three weeks.”
“Three weeks is a long time. I knew I wanted to make Shannon my old lady after just a few days,” Grunt mused. “Best thing I ever did was hurry up and move in with her.”
“Would you shut the hell up?” Hank barked. “You’re not fucking helping here.”
“What?” Grunt shrugged.
“Don’t do anything until this shit with that woman is solved,” Hank ordered. When I nodded, he sighed and looked into the house where Eliza was sitting at the bar talking to Nicole. “We just found her and I don’t want anything to fucking happen to her.”
“I’ll do my best to make sure she stays safe. I care about her.”
“See? Three weeks. The boy’s going to move in once this shit is over. Mark my words.” Grunt laughed. “I’ll put money on it.”
“Shut up. Just shut up.” Hank growled.

“I’m going to miss you,” Eliza whispered softly.
“It’s not forever, babe,” I reminded her. “And we’ll talk all the time. We just can’t visit each other at work, and you can’t come to my house. I’ll sneak over when I can.”
“I hate this.”
I ran my hands up and down her back. She was laying on my chest, her legs straddling my hips. We’d just made love and I needed to call Harley to come pick me up so that I could sneak back into my house. Even though I really needed to get up, I just couldn’t make myself ask her to move.
Eliza and I had discussed it, and we’d agreed not to see each other anywhere but in the privacy of her house. We’d talk on the phone and text as often as we could, but I didn’t want to put her on Robin’s radar in any way. I couldn’t imagine what she’d do to Eliza if she found out we were seeing each other.
Eliza assured me that she’d watch her surroundings and be on the lookout for Robin. Other than beg her to stay home and let her mom run the store for a while, I didn’t see any other option.
I was planning to go see my parents once I’d checked on the vines that were growing in my back room, and I had a bag full of fresh vegetables from Eliza to take to Mom. I’d just have to make sure that Robin wasn’t around to follow me out of town.
“Do you have to leave right this minute?” Eliza asked as she wiggled her body on top of mine. She moved down just a few inches, and I could feel her heat on the tip of my cock. It was already half hard like it always was when I was anywhere near her, and I felt it start to grow harder the more she moved.
“I should,” I said with a smile on my face, knowing she wasn’t going to let me.
“Maybe you should give me a few more minutes to say a proper goodbye.”
Eliza moved even further down my body, tilting her hips so that I entered her slowly as she pushed herself up with her hands on my chest. I curled my body up and kissed her mouth, wrapping my arms around her and flipping us so I was on top, never losing the connection between us.
Eliza pulled her legs up to wrap around my waist, and I started moving my hips, slowly thrusting in and out of her as I rested my head against hers.
“It’s not goodbye, Eliza. I’ll never be able to say goodbye to you.”

“Sit your ass down and let me mama you.”
