making a sound. Because DEAR GOD! His butt was unbelievable. The muscles in his back moved as he walked toward the water. He had muscles in his back !
    “I’ll come in if you come out and get me,” he drawled. His completely naked front side faced the lake for Becca and anyone else who cared to look . He wasn’t ashamed at all. He knew they were l ooking and he didn’t care. T hen again, when your body looked like that you wouldn’t mind who saw it.
    Becca Lynn walked toward him, t he water droplets rolled down her bare chest and stomach. I refused to let my gaze drop any lower. Cage’s hands slipped around her bare waist and he lowered his mouth to hers. That was all I could handle. My chest had a strange new ache and my stomach felt sick. I just wanted to go back home. I’d clear things up with Cage York another time.

Chapter Five

    Cage

    To night had been a bust. I didn’t fuck drunk en innocents who I couldn’t walk away from the next morning. As good as Becca Lynn had felt all nice and wet, I hadn’t been able to go through with it. Her vomiting had helped make this decision much easier because at one point I’d been real close to forgetting how annoying it could be to have a pesky female who wouldn’t go away .
    I stepped out of my jeans and pulled back the covers so I could crawl in my bed . The sheets weren’t bad. I had expected cheap sheets since this was a barn but they were nice. Soft. I closed my eyes and let myself imagine Eva putting the sheets on the bed for me . Her hands would be soft or maybe she’d have calluses. She did all the house work and she cooked. Wait. I hadn’t seen a mom yet. Eva had been the only woman I’d seen in that house. Had her mom died? Or just skipped out on her? Her dad loved her. That was obvious.
    My phone r ang and I reached for it. Low’s number once again lit up the screen.
    “ Hey , my favorite girl,” I said by way of a greeting.
    “Hey, how are things?” Low replied. I could hear the smile in her voice.
    “Hot and the c ows are scari er than I imagined but my tiny bed has some really nice sheets.”
    “What about the girl?”
    Leave it to Low not to beat around the bush. “ I’m pretty sure she hates me now more than she did when she first met me .”
    “Why? What have you done to her?”
    “I haven’t done a damn thing to her. I did threaten her fiancé and rough him up a bit. Nothing serious. But the douche was talking about another girl’s tits in front of Eva. It was disrespectful.”
    Low was silent a minute. I knew she was processing this and trying to figure out how to fix my problem.
    “So, she’s engaged?” was her response.
    “Yeah, she is and the guy isn’t a good match for her. I like him but they just don’t fit, you know?”
    “Hmmm… I guess. But they’re engaged, Cage. That makes her off limits. “
    I could hear the concern in her voice. “I wasn’t goi ng to go there anyway, Low. She’ s off limits for many reasons. For starters , her dad would fire me on the spot and I’d lose my scholarship.”
    “Okay. Well, I miss you. I’m going to be there bright and early Sunday morning to get you. Marcus is going to give us time alone for the first part of the day. Then I’ll drop you at your apartment and let you catch up with everyone. Marcus will have to drive you back that evenin g though because we’re keeping Larissa this weekend and I’ll have been away from her most of that day. Besides, as much as Marcus loves Larissa, he’ ll need a break from her.”
    “Thanks, Low. I look forward to seeing you. Only four more days to go before my reprieve from hell.”
    She laughed and we said our goodbyes.

    Two days later. No sign of Becca Lynn and very few glimpses of Eva. The heat was getting worse and Jeremy wasn’t around to help anymore. He was back at his farm working and I was left to figure the rest out on my own.
    A cold thermos of water magically stayed full and a n icy cold towel appeared a couple times
