Chapter 13

Tuesday goes by quickly with several more people coming in to pick up applications. I’ve looked over the ones I’ve gotten and called those who I feel are most qualified in for interviews on Friday. I’ve heard back from the state and the inspector will be out Friday to have a look around, and as soon as that’s done, the fuel company Papaw used is coming out to fill the tanks. I’ve kept the insurance all along and the next payment is due next week, so everything’s in order.

Several times during the day when I’ve been outside sweeping the filling lanes or cleaning the windows, I’ve not been able to help myself and looked across the street at Kade’s store. Funny thing is, of the several times I’ve checked it out, I’ve caught him watching me right back a few times, his eyes boring holes into mine from inside the store and once when he was outside loading plywood into Mr. Matthews’ truck. I can feel his ire from here as the tension between us mounts. Yikes.

I get no texts from him tonight, which kind of disappoints me. As I lie in bed, I wonder if we could ever make it work again, if I could let my guard down and trust him completely. Then thoughts of him and Peyton sucking face enter my head and I huff out a sigh knowing the answer.

I dream of Kade’s hard body covering mine as he pumps inside me over and over, and I wake up frustrated, cursing myself for not bringing my vibrator.

Late Wednesday morning I’m outside with a can of paint touching up here and there when Dax pulls up again. Yippee.

“I hear your permits went through,” he says with a grin coming forward to invade my space.

“Yes, they did,” I reply moving away from him and walking over to set the paint can down by the door.

“If you need me to make any calls to hurry the inspection along, I can do that.” He’s followed me and is once more hovering in my personal space.

“That’s okay,” I reply taking a step away. “I’m expecting them Friday anyway.”

“It wouldn’t be a problem. I’m always up for helping a pretty lady.” He steps even closer. Good God. I try moving away from him again, but he takes the step with me and curls his arm around my waist. Oh, boy. His mouth is at my ear when he murmurs, “I’ve got a ten-acre ranch south of town if you’d ever like to come out for a ride.” He’s put emphasis on the word ride and now Captain Insinuation is getting ready to get slapped.

“Dax,” I hear Kade say from behind me, his voice clipped.

I turn around quickly and see him glaring at Dax, his jaw muscles jumping, his eyes stone cold on him.

“Hey, Kade! How’re you doing?” Dax says as he turns, holding his right hand out and bringing his left up to clap Kade’s shoulder either oblivious to the fact that Kade’s giving him The Look or not caring one bit that he is.
