Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen Willow and she's more beautiful than I even remember.

When Ben called to say his dad had a heart attack I came right over. Henry and Mila have always been like my second family. I basically lived here growing up.

I didn't move away after high school I stayed around to help my dad with his Christmas tree lot. You wouldn't think that would be a year-round thing but in this town, Christmas is twenty-four seven.

My brother Noah and I help out with the family business but I also help out with the business end. Right now our trees get shipped out to different states.

Ben has been my best friend since kindergarten and Willow always wanted to play with us but as we started getting older I took notice of her but knew she was always off-limits.

She was tall and skinny with long brown hair and green eyes and I thought of her often when her breast begin to fill out.

I shake myself out of my thoughts and look over at her as she's talking to her dad and I can't help but stare. She hasn't made eye contact with me yet.

When she speaks to me my heart rate speeds up. She's so beautiful. I smile at her and she smiles back.

Mila walks back into the room. "Guys I made some food. Come get a plate. You to Willow." She said.

We follow Mila to the kitchen and she has made a spread of food. I went to grab a plate when Willow did too. Our hands touched and she looked up at me.

"Sorry," I said handing her the plate first. I walk around the other side of the table and fill up my plate and sit down beside Ben.

"Mom I'll fix dad a plate you sit down," Willow said.

I couldn't help but watch the way she moved as she was taking scoops out of each bowl. Her shirt would raise up and her tight little ass was on show in those tight leggings.

I had to rearrange things below. Good thing the table covered me. I watched her walk up the hall and then focused back on my food.

When I raised my head back up Ben was looking at me. Shit, I've been caught but hell I'm a man and his sister is beautiful. Not like the girls around here.

Ben didn't say anything he just smirked because I know he caught me.

"You boys eat up. You know I made plenty and a chocolate pie for dessert since it's Willows favorite." Mila said.

Willow walked back out and grabbed a plate and put little bites of different things on it and sit down.

"Sis is that all you are eating?" Ben laughed.

"Shut up Ben. I'm only eating small portions so I can have a big piece of the pie." She grinned.

"I guess you're watching your figure." Ben laughed.

"No, but I do like to run and take care of my body but you know I love moms chocolate pie." She said.

I couldn't say a word but just watch her mouth as she took bites of food. What in the hell is wrong with me? Why am I so attracted to her?

Well, that's probably because she's the only girl I have ever loved but I know it was forbidden to even be near her.

When she left Vermont that broke my heart. I wanted to tell her how I felt but I couldn't chance my relationship with Ben.

Every girl I have ever been with I always compared them to Willow. Man, I'm fucked up.

I finish my food and rinse my plate off and put it in the dishwasher. I wasn't raised in a barn and I know how to clean up after myself.

"Thank you, Jace. Will you grab that pie?" Mila asked.

"Sure Mila I can do that," I said grabbing the pie and sitting it on the table next to Willow.

"You guys get a piece because the rest is mine." She giggles.

Damn that giggle went to my dick. I clear my throat and grab the saucers and cut 4 pieces of pie and set the rest in front of her.

"Thank you, Jace." She said smiling at me.

"Your welcome Willow. I'm waiting to see if you eat all of that right now." I laugh.

"Don't judge because I plan to." She smiles.

Ben takes his dad a piece of pie and Mila was cleaning up the kitchen so it left the two of us at the very awkward table. She never looked up from her pie and was shoveling it in like a man.

"Willow, did you really eat all that pie?" Mila laughed.

"Yes, mom I did. It was so good." She laughed.

"Good thing I made another one." Mila laughed.

"Thanks, mom!" Willow smiled.

I couldn't help but look at her and smile when she smiled. Her whole face lit up. I still see that little girl that I grew up with.

After we eat she said she was going outside to bring her luggage in and I was leaving so we walked out together and not thinking about the sidewalk being icy she slipped and almost fell as I caught her.

"Oh my god! Thank you, Jace. I forgot how slick this sidewalk gets." She said.

"It's no problem. Let me help you get your luggage in so you don't fall." I said grabbing her bags and walking back inside with her.

"Thanks, Jace I appreciate it." She said.

"It's no problem. Well, I better get going I got an early morning date with trees." I laugh.

"Thanks again for saving me and bringing in my bags." She said.

"Your welcome. See ya around Willow." I said walking outside heading to my truck.

Shit I still have it bad for her. I sigh.
