THAT EVENING, I sat brooding. Bethany was outside, milking Betsy and Ha—

Milking the cow and the goat, dammit.

I had plenty of stuff to be doing: there was wood to be chopped, grain to be milled, and the hinge on the chicken coop door needing fixing. But I just couldn’t seem to get going.

The day after tomorrow, she’d be gone.

I knew I was making the right decision. It was better for her, better for everyone. That’s what I kept telling myself.

But I knew she was hurting, just like I was hurting. I wanted to do something nice for her. And there’s only so much you can do, in a backwoods cabin. It wasn’t like I could go buy her a box of cupcakes.

Maybe there was something I could do, though. While she was busy in the barn, I hauled it out from behind the cabin and wrestled it through the door. Then I got some big pots of water boiling on the stove and filled buckets from the well. By the time she came back in, it was ready.

“Figured you might want a bath,” I mumbled, looking at the floor. “Sorry: I don’t have any stuff to make bubbles.”

She stared at the big, cowboy-style metal tub. A smile spread across her face and something inside me lifted and tugged so hard I had to look away. So I didn’t get any warning when she ran over and threw her arms around me. “Thank you!” she said, her breath little hot gusts against my pecs. “Thank you!”

I swallowed and grunted. Her breasts were pillowed against my chest and when I breathed in, I could smell the sweet, feminine scent of her. I could feel my cock swelling in my pants and any second, she was going to feel it, too. I nodded and backed away. “I’ll be outside.”

I opened the door...and stopped. Heavy gray rain was just starting to fall. I shrugged. “I’ll be okay.”

“No. Don’t be silly. Stay here,” said Bethany.

I turned around and caught her eye. She looked at the tub, then down at her clothes. The tension in the room rose a little more.

“One second,” said Bethany in a strangled voice. She pulled the sheet off the bed, then got a ball of string, climbed up on a chair and tied it to a rafter. In a few moments, she had the sheet dangling like a curtain from the rafters, forming a screen between me and the tub. “There.”

I sat down by the stove to wait. It was quiet in the cabin and from behind the sheet, I could hear the sound of shirt buttons popping through holes. Then the soft whump as it fell to the floor. Next, her t-shirt. Then the heavier sound of her jeans. Her bra, her panties, they were so light that I had to strain to hear them. One. Two.

She was naked.

The soft padding of her feet across the floorboards and then—

What I hadn’t counted on was, the lantern was behind her and my end of the cabin was dark.
