but I could tell she was trying real hard not to. Her stiff posture told me she was very aware that I was watching her. Dammit why’d that make me fucking happy?
                  “Thanks for sending out the cold ice rags today. Those sure were nice,” I said , knowing she wouldn’t be able to ignore me now.
    She took a deep breath that she tried to hide but I was watching her too closely. Then she turned her eyes my way and it was like a damn kick in the stomach when the light from the fire illuminated her face . I’d been with a lot of gorgeous women but never had I been so affected by their looks before.  There was something in her eyes that drew me in. I wanted to make the sadness she tried to hide go away. Eva Brooks was haunted and my protective tendencies were being tugged on.
    “You’re welcome,” s he replied in a clipped tone.
                  “I realize that those were probably meant for Jeremy but he shared and it was much appreciated.”
                  A small frown puckered her brow. “I sent two out there , didn’t I? One for each of you.”
                  Ah, so she was admitting to thinking about me too. I liked that .
                  “Really. Well , thank you. I was under the impression you wouldn’t spit on me if I was on fire.”
                  Jeremy’s amused response was a low chuckle that was beginning to get on my nerves. He did that a lot.
                  “As long as you do the work that Daddy has for you and you work hard then I will be more than happy to supply you water and cold towels.”
                  H er responses were all so matter-of -f act. Did she ever get passionate or emotional about anything? It would be a damn shame if she was that cool and controlled during sex. Something in her eyes told me she was holding back. There was something I was missing.
                  She lifted her hand to tuck a stray lock behind her ear and I saw the twinkle of a small diamond that sat securely on her left hand. I stared at it as understanding slowly began to sink in.
    Eva was engaged . 
    Words left me.  The world tilted a little off center. I jerked my gaze off the ring to Jeremy who was watching me closely. Jeremy was her fucking fiancé?
     
                  “Here ya go,” Becca Lynn said as she held ou t a can of Bud l ight to me . I took it fr om her outstretched hand and opened it taking a very long swallow. I had to get my head on straight. I hadn’t been expecting this. Jeremy and Eva dating was crazy enough but engaged ? How the hell did that happen?
                  “Want to go swimming?” Becca asked sweetly. I needed to remember I was here with her. I needed to focus on anything other than that diamond ring on Eva’s hand.
                  “Sure,” I managed to reply.
                  “ Becca , don’t do that. ” Eva’s obvious disapproval surprised me. What the hell was wrong with swimming? Was she against that too?
    “Why not?” she chirped as she began pulling her tank top over her head. WHOA .
                  “Then at least go strip in the shadows and not right here in front of everyone. Especially Jeremy . You’ ll make him uncomfortable.”
                  Strip? Were we going skinny- dipping?
                  “It ain’t like Jere my hasn’t seen me naked, Eva.”
                  What?
                  “Ugh, just go undress away from us,” Eva replied.
                  “I wasn’t exactly complaining. Be cca Lynn has some nice knockers, ” Jeremy piped in.
                  It came out of nowhere. I suddenly saw red. 
                  I reached over to grab Jeremy by the collar and lifted him off his feet. “ Apologize, now you stupid fucker. ”
                  Jeremy’s wide-
