Chapter 2

Jackson

It’s close to three in the afternoon by the time waves crash up on the sides of the small speed boat gliding through the crystal-clear waters of Lake Joseph. I slow the engine until I’m sliding up to the dock of the quaint log cabin. Deep in the forests of Muskoka, the cabin sits on the four and a half acre Rabbit Island, where large cedar trees stretch as far as the eye can see and jagged rocks edge the shoreline.

Once I cut the engine, I make quick work to tie the boat to the dock. As I pull the knot tight, I glance over my shoulder, catching Mallory’s smile as she takes in the beauty around her. That I’m in full agreement with. Muskoka is the quiet I need, the solitude I want, far away from the highlife in Los Angeles. Luckily—thankfully—she’s lost her anger throughout the long plane ride and the two-and-a-half-hour drive from Toronto to the marina.

When she finally notices me looking at her, she rises from her seat and approaches. “Where on earth did you find this place to rent it?”

“I didn’t rent it,” I explain. “It’s mine.”

“Yours?” She scans the view again, obviously reassessing. “Whatever made you buy a Canadian property?”

I wave out in front of us at the lake, arching a single eyebrow. “I would think it’s pretty self-explanatory.”

She laughs softly, tilting her head in a way that drapes her long hair across her pinkish cheek. “I suppose it is.”

Of course, there’s more to it. My mother was born in Canada and held dual citizenship, as do I, and she loved the beauty Muskoka had to offer. A few months after she passed away, I bought this cabin with the money she’d left me in her estate.

I reach for our suitcases resting on the floor of the boat and place them onto the dock before offering my hand. She slides her slender fingers into mine without hesitation, slowly climbing out of the boat. It’s in that second, I’m suddenly aware of how her pupils dilate, cheeks flush pink. Which, again, makes me take a closer look at her. I’ve never before noticed that I affect Mallory, but I do. Intensely. And I can’t say I don’t like it. She’s beautiful. I like how there are freckles spattering her nose. Her long honey-colored hair frames her thin face, and her lips part quite often when I look at her.

She moves past me then, giving me a good look at her heart-shaped ass clad in jean shorts that I shouldn’t even be noticing. It’s hard to ignore her. Especially because she’s been fucking me with her eyes since we got on the flight. With my cock growing heavy, I jump out of the boat and set into motion the plan I’ve been forming for a week.

I reach into my pocket and grab my cell. “How about a selfie to kick off our time together?” I ask, holding up the phone.

She watches me a moment with obvious caution before shaking it off with a soft laugh.
