with other people. Especially people who are willing to learn.”
As Summer tried to gather how she wanted to respond to Dylan, her tongue was paralyzed over her words. She was hypnotized by his large, playful eyes.
Before she could shake away her trance, Dylan leaned in and kissed her softly. His lips lingered a few moments before pulling away.
Chapter 4
Summer wasn’t sure how to react during dinner that night with Dylan and their parents. Kevin and Denise had prepared a steak dinner with fresh vegetables and a pie for dessert, and Summer’s nerves were so jittery she barely had an appetite.
She cut pieces of her steak and spread them around her plate mindlessly, her thoughts elsewhere. She was too shy to make direct eye contact with Dylan.
“Honey, you’ve barely touched your food,” said Denise.
“Is something wrong?”
Summer looked up and forced a bite of her food into her mouth for her mother’s approval.
“No, no. I’m fine. I’m just not very hungry. Would it be okay if I excused myself?”
Kevin and Denise looked at each other.
“Sure, just put your food in some Tupperware and save it for later,” said Kevin between chews.
Summer took her plate to the counter and transferred her uneaten dinner into a container. She went up to her room and sat on her bed, unsure whether or not to be excited or scared over the sensual moment she’d shared with Dylan at the creek.
She heard a knock on her door not even ten minutes later. It was Dylan.
“Summer? Can I come in?”
Her heart skipped a beat, but she opened her door for him.
Without hesitation once he saw her, he took her face into his hands and kissed her again, harder and longer. She brought her fingers to his blonde stubble on his cheeks before he let go.
“I’m sorry,” he said.
“I just couldn’t resist.”
“It’s alright,” said Summer.
“Do you want to come in?”
Dylan entered her room and sat down on her bed, looking around at the various unpacked boxes and scattered items.
“This room sure looks different. It was my dad’s office just a few weeks ago. Now it’s really starting to look like a girl took over!”
Summer joined him on the bed.
“Well, a girl did take over.”
They were both silent for a moment, looking separate ways in the room. Summer could see Dylan turning to her out of the corner of her eye.
His voice cracked as he said, “Please tell me honestly. Did it bother you that I kissed you this morning?”
“No. It didn’t. Surprised me a bit, but it didn’t bother me.”
He exhaled.
“Good. I just couldn’t help myself. It’s like my brain and my heart weren’t talking. My brain told me not to do it! Ha ha. But when I first saw you, Summer… I just thought something was about to change.”
Curious and intrigued, she replied, “Oh, yeah? How so?”
“I do love my life, don’t get me wrong. But it can get monotonous sometimes. As can anything. It gets lonely, too. No doubt about that. I guess I just saw you and thought… I had someone new to talk to. Teach things. You know?”
“I think I know what you mean. We are stepsiblings, though. Technically. Does that bother you at all?”
Dylan shrugged.
“I mean, I guess it is a bit out of the ordinary. But I feel like we get along well. Anyway… I don’t want to bother you anymore tonight. Our parents are going to be in Denver for the weekend for my dad’s business. We’ll have the house to ourselves.”
Unsure of what Dylan meant by that, she simply just said, “Okay.”
Before departing her room, Dylan took her small hand into his and kissed it.
“Goodnight, Summer.”
