her body. She could feel his cock spasm inside her, setting off another round of flutters across her skin. Slowly, Darrin pulled out, leaving his seed to run down her leg. Thank God she had been smart enough to get on birth control this spring and they had already discussed going bare, otherwise this would have been a problem for both of them.
    Darrin was panting as he stumbled to the bathroom. Sara’s legs felt like jelly, leaving her body to slowly crumple on the floor. She closed her eyes as she lay her head back, covering her face with her arm. Not having any energy left for modesty, she continued to lay naked in the hallway when Darrin came back out of the bathroom. He chuckled, as he quickly scooped her up in his arms, carrying her into the bedroom.
    Sara started to protest when he tried tucking her into bed, “I have to make supper, yet, Darrin. Plus, I’m a mess. I need to take a shower.”
    Darrin crawled over the top of her onto the other side of the bed, wrapping his arms around her before he pulled her back tightly against his chest. “We have leftovers we need to clean up before I leave tomorrow. A short nap will do us good, and then we can shower together.”
    Sara had almost forgotten that Darrin was leaving in the morning to go with some of his buddies to a remote cabin in northern Wisconsin for almost two weeks. It had been really nice having someone to spend time with, cook for, laugh with, and generally enjoy being with. It felt good. Really good. It was going to be hard to go back to being alone, if only for a couple of weeks.
    As if on cue, Darrin tightened his grip around her waist, tugging her briskly against him. “Hey, you’re gonna catch up on some sleep while I’m gone,” he teased, “I’ll be back before you know it.”
    Sara sighed as she snuggled into her pillow, willing her thoughts to subside long enough to enjoy lying next to the man that had brought some color back into her world.

Chapter Six

    July 4 th
    S ara was carefully considering her entertainment options for the day, like she would decide between two equally mundane activities: Eney-Meeney-Miney-Mo. Without Darrin around, Sara had become even more introverted, stay in every night, all alone. The drugstore wasn’t open today, so she had a day off to spend down by the boardwalk, enjoying the food and craft vendors that the city sponsored every year. There was even a band playing and drinks being served near the fire station.
    Even if she was into socializing today, which she wasn’t, her sister Bryn had already invited her to watch the fireworks with her and her roommate Corey on the inlet on the other side of the lake. Not so much invited her, as she texted the shortened version of her plans for the evening, leaving the offer open, but not demanding an answer.
    Sara was somewhat puzzled as to why Bryn was spending the evening with her roommate, and not her apparently drool-worthy boyfriend, Dr. Charlie Glynn. Even though she had never met him, he was making Bryn happy, and that was damn hard to do anymore. Sara hadn’t spent any significant time with her sister lately, but they had started to text and chat, on occasion. It was a start.
    Sara knew that if she went with Bryn and Corey, they would more than likely ride over on their motorcycles, seeing as how Bryn called it the sole means of transportation during the summer. Sara inwardly groaned at the prospect of not only riding with her sister on a death machine, but being shoved in the middle of half the town of Amulet, laying in the itchy half-mowed grass, stirring up every mosquito and biting bug in the area.
    Most of the town would be there to watch the over-the-water fireworks show, and it had always been quite a spectacular sight. The money collected from aluminum can recycling was the sole contributor for the display; at least that’s what it says on the outside of the random containers in town. Everyone was extremely proud of the accomplishment, and it seemed as
