Chapter Twenty

Summer

Talk about a restless night.

After Jake passed out, I’d lain there for hours thinking about what we’d just done. How amazing it was. How amazing he was. How amazing his body was. I was in a full-body blush again just remembering the feel of his skin and the rounded curve of his muscles as they melted perfectly into one another. And his penis… it was truly a behemoth, a monster. I had to imagine it was the biggest one within a fifty-mile radius. Shit, maybe even a hundred.

I glanced out the window from where I stood in Rue’s kitchen. Jake had left before I’d even woken up. He’d given me a kiss on the forehead even though he thought I was asleep and then he’d headed out on Breezy, probably to check on the cows.

And now, the sun was easing its way up the backside of the mountain but the rain was still falling and a thick coating of clouds was covering everything. If the guys thought this storm was going to blow over during the night, they’d been mistaken. And unless Brady had made some sort of miraculous recovery during the night, he wasn’t going to be in any shape to go out.

“This rain just won’t let up,” Rue said as she turned to face me with a sigh.

Just then the back door opened and Jake trudged in, looking disheveled, wet and disappointed. “I couldn’t get them rounded up on my own,” he announced, his voice frustrated.

“Of course you couldn’t!” Rue responded as she threw her hands in the air and reached for a mug, pouring him a cup of coffee. “And what in the world made you think you could?”

“Thought it was worth a shot,” he answered as he accepted the cup with a nod of thanks.

“I could help you,” I suggested with a hesitant smile. My cowhand talents weren’t exactly stellar, so I wasn’t even sure if Jake wanted me to help, or if I’d just be a nuisance. But I wanted to offer all the same.

“Hmm,” he answered as he took a sip of his coffee. His response wasn’t exactly encouraging. But at the thought of having to keep five kids entertained inside again, I really wanted to help him with the cows. I exhaled and wrapped my fingers around the doorknob, steeling myself for whatever I was going to face that day. As nervous as I was about working the cows, I was feeling more than a little trepidation about being stuck inside with everyone all day long.

Or at least one of them.

Yes, Jake was definitely making me nervous because I couldn’t read him at all. I had no idea what he thought of last night—did he regret it, was he angry that I hadn’t told him I was a virgin? Was he worried I was going to get too attached to him? Did he wish it hadn’t happened? Did I regret it? I wasn’t sure yet. I figured a lot of that depended on him.
