Chapter Nine
Kabe climbed out of the truck and whistled as he caught sight of my house. "I assumed you were talking about a shack of some sort. You know, one of those square boxes with cheap siding." Even in the dark, you could see it right well. Especially up here, with the moon so big and the stars.
"That looks like a fancy ski lodge."
I guess it did. I knew it was panel construction; real wood, mind you ... half cut logs and rough timber gave it the feel of a log cabin. Like model kits, builders could throw one up in a couple months. "It's the A-frame." I headed up onto the porch. "You either build a pitch into the roof or you shovel snow off your roof come winter." Flipped on the light as I walked in. I could hear Kabe's steps behind me. "Five cent tour of my cabin." I turned and smiled as he shut the door behind him. Thrift store couch, my old recliner and a coffee table I'd made from deer antlers didn't actually say much for my taste. "You're in the living room. That there's the kitchen,"
I pointed into the open space with range and all. "Stairs on the left take you to the loft. Only bath's down here, under the stairs. Little mud room off the back with a washer-dryer. Hard as heck to heat in the winter with the high ceiling and metal roof."

Kabe turned. He rested his butt against my rickety old table and managed to not fall when it shifted. "Not all that hungry." He leered. "Could use a shower."
I move away from the door a bit. "Okay, go ahead."
Jerking my head to give him the go ahead, I added, "I'll wait."
"Why wait?" I didn't even see him move it was so quick.
One second he's trying to destroy my furniture, the next his body's right up against mine. "Looks big enough if we get close." Boy wasn't even looking in the bathroom.
"Together?" I swallowed.
"Yeah, together." Kabe tugged on my belt loops, dragging me in. "Come on."
I was having a lot of firsts with this boy. "Okay." It was amazing sometimes how much I knew and how little I really had experienced.
"You know," Kabe tugged his shirt off and tossed it on the floor. "The whole innocent thing is kinda cute."
Shirt halfway up my middle, I stopped. "I'm nothing like cute." My glare told him I'd hurt him if he kept it up. "Me and cute don't add up."
Kabe's shoes hit the pile, one after another. "That whole shy thing ... at least until you get your clothes off.
