across their skin.
     
    After a long day spent out in the hot sun, they both were tired and in the mood to relax. That night, they settled on the couch in front of his big screen TV to watch a movie. The day had been spent with them both sharing memories from their childhoods, and learning more about each other. Finn had taken Raven all around the ranch, showing her exactly how their business was run, and explaining all the changes her father had implemented to make things better. That made Finn think about their future as a couple.
    "What do you think your father would do if he found out about us?" That question had been weighing on his mind all day. Raven sat up from her cozy position in his lap and glared.
    "He would kill us. Both of us. Why would you ask that?"
    "It was just a question. I mean, you can't think that we can do this forever."
    Raven let out a long sigh. "You're right, I guess. I hate the thought of my dad finding out. I can't imagine that he would be happy about it."
    "Well, I think I should have a talk with him." Finn's voice held a steady confidence. Raven slid out of his lap and she recoiled at his suggestion.
    "Finn! What would you say? What if he forbids me from seeing you? What if this causes a rift between our parents? Have you thought it through?" She was highly agitated, on the verge of panic. Finn sat quietly. He gathered his thoughts before he continued.
    "I have thought it through, and I think that coming clean is a better alternative than getting caught. And we will get caught, eventually. Unless, this is just something to kill time for you. Some sort of game," he edged her on, hoping to finally get her to open up about her true feelings.
    "I told you this means more to me. How could you say that?" She wrapped her arms around herself, attempting to hold in the hurt that his words caused. Finn immediately felt bad for goading her.
    "Sorry Ray, I just don't understand you. You say that what we have means something to you, but you clam up whenever I talk about our future. I don't like the sneaking around. It feels wrong. I mean, yeah, it was exciting at first. But it's too much to look your father in the eyes every night at dinner knowing all the things that I've done with you. I'm a man Ray, and I don't want to hide how I feel about you. I would rather he be angry with me and know that I'm treating you well than be caught sneaking around like I'm ashamed. Do you understand?" His eyes implored her to reason, and he reached for her, wanting her back in his arms.
    Raven’s brows knitted in deep thought as she absorbed Finn's words. As much as it terrified her for her father to know the truth, she agreed with Finn. She couldn't argue with him. The fact that he was serious enough about her to risk exposing their relationship made her feel warm inside, while his strong arms made her feel secure.
    "I'm scared," she whispered her truth.
    "I know, darlin', but I told you that I'll take care of you. Even if that means we have to get our own place or run away and start fresh." He kissed her gently on her temple.
    "Oh God, I hope it doesn't come to that. I can't afford to start over Finn."
    "I hope it doesn't come to that either, but I have money from my dad's will, so I'm good. As long as we are on the same page," he said. Raven took his hands in hers, and squeezed it.
    "We're on the same page," she said with a weak smile.
     
     
     

     
    They continued like that for weeks. Pretending to be civil by day and then giving into their passion for each other every night. On the weekends they would find ways to stay away as long as possible, but it was becoming harder to do. Not only did they enjoy being naked and lustful, but they truly had a good time together.
     
    On one rainy Saturday evening, Finn broke up their routine.
    "Let's go out."
    Raven looked up from her kindle and pulled her ear buds out to make sure she’d heard him correctly.
    "Come again?"
    Finn eased into her room and closed the door.  "I
