BlurbBlurbKolby Hanks was no pedophile, but the 16-year-old girl next door was

tempting him beyond comprehension.

Advanced for her age in mind and body, Julissa Wheeler was determined tomake Kolby her one and only…at any cost. She could care less about their

age differences.

Though a five-year age gap wasn’t all that important when both parties

were twenty and above, Kolby knew that it made all the difference in the

world when one party was still in their teens.

Will Kolby prove responsible enough to do what’s right, despite howconsensual Julissa is? Or will he succumb to his baser nature and give her

what they both want?

Chapter 6Chapter 6 “Girl, Kolby has just arrived on the scene,” Calista whispered as she

stood near the edge of the pool and handed Julissa a towel.

“Where?” Julissa’s wet head snapped around. When she caught sight of Kolby near the patio doors, she smiled. She’d been waiting for him to cometoday.

Julissa wanted to see what Kolby’s reaction would be to her new body. Abody that she was still trying to get used to. One that came with so manyunexpected perks. Would Kolby be one of those perks? She hoped so.

“I hope he hasn’t brought a date today,” Julissa said, when she turnedback around towards her friend.

“He looks alone to me, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to stay alonebefore the day is over,” Calista replied, reminding her friend of a veryimportant truth. They’d both seen Kolby with a harem of women over theyears. He seemed unable to commit to just one woman. Many thought hewas going to be a playboy bachelor for life like his biological father.

“True, but a girl can hope, can’t she?” Julissa began to dry her hair andthen her shoulders. She wanted to be as dry as possible before she wrappedherself around Kolby.

“Why do you even bother, Julissa? Not only is Kolby a true player, he onlysees you as a little sister,” Calista cautioned.

Julissa scowled at her friend. “Stop acting like a killjoy. After Kolby seesme in this bathing suit, he’s not going to see me as a little sister anymore.And he’s definitely not going to want to go home with another womantonight.”

“Even still, I think you’d have better luck hooking one of the guys thatshowed up tonight. Guys our own age.” Again, Calista was the voice of reason.

“Okay, I am through talking to you.” Julissa tossed her damp towel on anearby chair and walked away. She would not allow anyone to deter herfrom her childhood dream.

Kolby and everybody else could call Julissa his little sister all they wantedto, but she was determined to become his wife before everything was allsaid and done. But first I need to get him interested enough to give me that kiss I want before the summer is up, Julissa mused, making that her primary

goal for now.

Kolby swallowed hard over the lump in his throat as Julissa walkedtowards him with a sensual stride. When did she learn to walk like that? Andwhy was she looking at him as if she could devour him? Exactly how muchhad Julissa changed since Christmas?

Suddenly too hot for his clothes, Kolby removed his shirt and threw it ona nearby lounge chair. His shoes came off next. Kolby wisely left his pants onsince the current state of his body would have been too embarrassing if heremoved them. He was already paranoid enough and could only hope that noone noticed the affect Julissa was having on him before he hit the water.

“Marco!” Kolby shouted, before jumping into the pool. If that wasn’tcalled thinking-on-one’s-feet, he didn’t know what was.

Julissa’s eyes widened only for a few seconds in shock before sheshouted, “Polo!” and then jumped in the pool right behind him. She wasn’tused to Kolby being the initiator of fun. Usually, she started an adventureand he followed closely behind. The most recent adventure she initiated wason their last family vacation and involved her challenging him to beat her ina jet skiing race. They ended up tying.

What had changed Kolby since then? And why had Julissa seen fearmixed with his desire right before he jumped in the water just now?

After Julissa jumped in the water, the rest of her friends started jumpingin, too. While she was obviously a leader among the girls, a seventeen-year-old male named Augustino was the alpha male among the guys. He was theone that jumped in right after Julissa, the one that tried to stick as close aspossible to her in the water. The same one that Kolby fought hard not tostrangle with his bare hands seeing as the boy had never done anythingwrong to him.

With Kolby keeping Julissa and her friends occupied with back to backpool games, Mr. Wheeler abandoned the lifeguard chair and went to eat, resthis back, and spend some time with his wife.

Kolby stayed at the Wheeler home for hours that night, doing any andeverything he could think of to keep busy, until the last teenage boy wasgone. He didn’t care about the model he’d made contact with earlier thatevening. Nor about the how late it was. All Kolby cared about was keepingthose horny teenage boys away from Julissa, particular the one calledAugustino, whom he had not strangled after all.

That night Kolby had the first of many vivid dreams about Julissa.Dreams that would forever replace the innocent dreams he used to have of his real little sister. Dreams that were now sensual in nature and includedKolby, Julissa, and a certain leopard print bikini.

* * *After the fourth of July, Kolby deliberately began to keep his distance

from Julissa. He didn’t like the new feelings he was having for her. Hecertainly didn’t appreciate having all those sex dreams about her. The girlwas entirely too young for him. Why couldn’t his subconscious grab a hold of that?

Though a five year difference wasn’t all that important when both partieswere in their twenties and on up, it made all the difference in the worldwhen one party was still in their teens. Kolby refused to be a cradle robber

or a sugar daddy. And he wasn’t about to turn Julissa into jailbait, wheretouching her even slightly inappropriately could land him in prison.

Therefore, it was best for the both of them that Kolby keep his distance,stick with dating women his own age, and continued to treat Julissa like alittle sister whenever they were around one another.

Waiting until he saw Julissa and her mother leave for a Saturdayafternoon shopping trip, Kolby finally ventured back over to the Wheelerhome after staying away for three weeks. He’d long since been given accessto their pool and so he knew he wouldn’t get in trouble for trespassing. WithJulissa out of the way for the next three to five hours, Kolby also knew thathe could enjoy the pool without getting into trouble with her.

“Ah…” he said in relief after diving into the pool and resurfacing minuteslater. Kolby had been especially hot today after trimming his grandmother’slawn. That was the reason for his outer heat. The fact that he hadn’t had sexsince he came home and was having nightly sex dreams about an underagegirl was the reason for his inner heat.

If only he’d thought to bring along some of his grandmother’s old lyesoap. Then maybe he could scrub himself until he tingled with cleanliness orat least stop feeling like a dirty old man. If only that lye soap could cleansehis mind, too.

Pushing those thoughts away, Kolby contented himself with swimmingout his pent-up frustrations. If he couldn’t work out his desires that way,he’d go home, skim through his little black book, and find some willingfemale to help him release his stress.

Kolby started to feel somewhat at peace again after the fifth pool

rotation. Unfortunately, his peace was shattered to smithereens when heheard, “Hey, Kolby. I thought that was you sneaking through our backfence.”

Kolby closed his eyes and sighed. I just can’t catch a break with this girl,

he mused, before turning to face a smiling Julissa.

ChapterChapter 77 “Where’s your mother?” Kolby asked. He already knew where Mr.

Wheeler was. Jermaine was where he always was this time of the year - atAugust football practice with his high school team.

“Mommy went back to the mall after she dropped me off,” Julissa said.She left out the fact that she’d faked stomach cramps in order to get hermother to turn around and drop her back off at home.

“Well, I guess it’s time for me to be getting back to a few things, too. Ihave a lot of packing to do,” Kolby said as he made his way to the side of thepool. Though he wasn’t leaving town for another five days, all the things heaccumulated for his new apartment over the last month were going torequire a lot of pre-packing. Particularly the stuff his grandmother had givenhim.

“Aww…do you have to go? We haven’t spent any time together since yougot back.” There was an adorable pout upon Julissa’s face.

“Of course we have. I was over here for the 4 th , remember? Stayed along time if I recall correctly. Plus, you’ve been at my house plenty of timessince then. Had dinner with us just last night.” He walked up the stairs andgot out of the pool. He promptly wrapped a towel loosely around his midriff to hide any desire that might try to show up.

“We haven’t spent any time alone since you got back,” Julissa clarified. “We used to do so much together, Kolby. I can’t remember the last time youwatched a movie with me. And we haven’t been bowling in ages.”

“You need to be doing those things with boys your own age, not withyour big brother.”

“I don’t want to do anything with boys my own age,” Julissa replied,staring at him intently. “They’re too immature and they don’t know how totreat a woman.”

Kolby’s face grew strained, his nostrils flared with barely controlleddesire. “Despite how developed you are now, you are not a woman yet,Julissa. The sooner you learn to appreciate your teenagehood, the better.” For us all , he added to himself as he walked past her.

No, the sooner you stop running from your feelings for me, the better we’d both feel , Julissa mused, uncaring about their age differences whenthat was all Kolby could think about.

Later that evening, Kolby went to visit with his best friend. Pablo was intown for a few days. So busy pursuing their educational goals, they hadn’tseen each other in almost a year. They barely talked on the phone once a

month. “What’s up, man?” Pablo asked, looking up from the medical journal in

his lap at the person standing in the doorway. Kolby had obviously been letin by Calista since she was the only other person in the house.

“The usual. School and trying to look after my grandmother,” Kolbyreplied, crossing the threshold of his friend’s childhood bedroom. Pictures of motorcycles were all over the walls, revealing the medical student’s favoritepastime. A pastime that started in Pablo’s younger years when he and Kolbyused to perform all kinds of tricks on their mountain bikes.

“Are you sure nothing else is up?” Pablo asked, giving his friend aknowing look. “My sister told me about all that blocking you did at theWheelers’ 4 th of July bash. How you wouldn’t let any guys near Julissa.”

“I was just trying to protect her virtue,” Kolby replied, sitting on the twinbed that he used to occupy whenever he slept over. “You would have donethe same thing for your little sister, who happens to have a really big mouth,by the way.”

Pablo laughed. “True. But since Julissa isn’t your real little sister andsince she now has the body of a full grown woman, it’s possible that youwere actually trying to preserve her virtue for yourself on IndependenceDay.”

Kolby grew angry and defensive. “I would never touch Julissainappropriately!”

“No, but you probably want to and that’s what’s irking you so much.Especially since she’s so young.” Pablo remained calm as always in a difficultsituation. “But suppose Julissa wasn’t sixteen. Suppose she was eighteen .Would you touch her like you wanted to then?”

Though his friend’s observant nature would some day make him a greatdoctor, this was one time Kolby wished Pablo didn’t have that trait. “No.Maybe. I don’t know,” Kolby said, shaking his head with indecision. Itamazed him how complicated his life had become all of a sudden.

“Cheer up, man. It’s not the end of the world.” Pablo laughed again toease the tension in the room. Kolby looked like he had the weight of theworld on his shoulders right now.

been with Julissa in mind. It was no surprise that he’d called out Julissa’sname in the heat of passion. Even now, Kolby thought about Julissa,wondering who she was with in that dark car up ahead. The black corvettehad been parked in front of the Wheeler house ever since he and Tiffinidrove up.

“Can I at least ask who this woman is that stole your heart?”

“Stole my heart? Nobody stole my heart,” Kolby denied, refusing tobelieve that what he felt for Julissa went anything beyond lust or sisterlylove.

Before Tiffini could respond to that, the car up ahead began to rock.Either the couple inside were making lively love or they were having onewhopper of a fight. When the passenger door opened a few seconds later, avoluptuous young lady got out and said a few choice words to the driver.

The driver, a muscular teenage male, got out next and began to call hera few choice names. One of which involved her being the worst kind of teasea man could ever meet.

When Tiffini turned back towards the passenger seat of her own vehicle,she found it empty. Kolby had rushed out and left the door wide opened.

“Julissa, what is going on here?!” Kolby demanded to know as heapproached the arguing couple. He’d never heard her curse like that before,or ever for that matter.

Julissa turned towards Kolby. “He’s just mad, because I changed mymind about inviting him in.”

“Inviting him in?! You know you’re not supposed to have company whileyour parents aren’t home. You shouldn’t have invited him inside in the firstplace.” Like Julissa, Kolby knew that Sunday nights were Jermaine and Pesa’sdate night. It was the only night the Wheelers could truly relax from theirhectic schedules. The thought of what could have happened while they wereaway had Kolby seeing red.

“No, what she shouldn’t have done was get a brother all hot and heavy

and then change her mind at the last minute,” Augustino said.Kolby moved in front of the younger man with his fists balled tightly at

his sides. “I don’t care if she changed her mind at the last second , if awoman tells you no, you need to respect that.”

“And if I don’t?!” Augustino challenged. He’d wanted to fight Kolby sincethe 4 th of July when he saw how infatuated Julissa was with him.

“If you don’t, you’re going to find yourself beaten to a pulp and thenlocked up for rape,” Kolby replied in a low, menacing voice. He was temptedto beat the teenager to a pulp now, without the ensuing rape charge.

“I should probably call the police right now,” Julissa threatened, pulling

her cell phone out of her purse. She wasn’t about to sit back and let Kolbygo to jail for beating up an underage jerk like Augustino.

Augustino’s eyes widened with fright. He might not be afraid of taking abeating from Kolby, but he was definitely afraid of going to jail. As a result,he couldn’t get back to his car fast enough.

“You ain’t worth going to jail for,” Augustino told Julissa in an effort tosave his pride before his departure.

“And you wasn’t worth spreading my legs for, which is the main reason Ididn’t give you none tonight,” Julissa replied crudely, once again surprisingKolby with her colorful vernacular.

“Trick!” Augustino said, determined to have the last word as he startedup his car.

“Scrub!” Julissa shouted, taking that last word privilege away fromAugustino right before he sped away with squealing wheels.

What are they teaching these kids in public school today? Kolby musedas he moved to stand beside Julissa.

“You all right?” Kolby asked, draping a comforting arm across hershoulders.

Julissa turned to him with a smile of utter adoration. “I am now,” shereplied, snuggling closer to him.

“So this is Julissa?” an angry female voice suddenly said from behindthem.
