Chapter 18

~ Cain ~

With his BMW R 1200 RT—customized with a Saab 900 engine he’d acquired in Sweden and installed with a moto-nut mechanic in Iceland—between his thighs, Cain Wolfram roared through Huntington, West Virginia, headed west. The red, orange, and gold trees on either side of Highway 64 were pretty fucking beautiful, and he had to admit that, despite every amazing place he’d seen in his six years of travel, nothing quite compared to the good ol’ United States in October.

Flicking a glance at the dash clock, he wasn’t surprised to see that it was almost two. He’d been riding since six o’clock in the morning, with only a couple of stops for snacks and gas since he left Norfolk, Virginia. With any luck, he’d make it to Versailles by four.

Versailles, Kentucky.

Cain’s new home.

He hadn’t been back to Apple Valley since that October day three years ago when Ginger had declared her love for him, offered herself to him, then turned around and fucked his cousin instead.

He ground his jaw as he revved the motor and ducked his head down lower.

It still hurt.

After three fucking years—which included six months of fucking his way through Europe with every señorita and mademoiselle who’d spread her legs—it still fucking hurt.

A million times he’d reviewed in his head the details of their meeting out at the old barn: her passionate declarations and heavenly fucking body flush against his. The way her tits had felt under his palms, beaded and greedy, the way her mouth—which was the eighth wonder of the fucking world—had opened and sucked his tongue inside. But even though her body had been made for the sort of sin Cain loved best, it was her words that haunted him, taunting him as visions of her naked body snuggled next to Woodman blazed through his head night after night.

Cain . . . I love you. God, I love you so much.

You are. You are good. And I’m in love with you.

I know you love me, Cain. I can see it. I can feel it. I know it’s true.

And when he thought the ache of remembering her sweet words—her sweet, sweet lies—would break him, he’d torture himself just a little more and remember her eyes when she left him that afternoon—the broken fucking way they’d looked, and how it had practically ripped his heart out of his chest to watch her walk away.

. . . it doesn’t matter anymore. This is the last time you will ever reject and humiliate me. I promise you. The last time.

And boy, had she made good on her word.

The last one to get rejected hadn’t been her. Between the two of them, it had been him.

She’d never know how hard he had to fight himself from reaching for her again that afternoon, how much his body ached and heart throbbed for her, how fucking much he wanted to run after her after she’d left him. She’d never know that he showed up hours later at her fucking cottage to try to work things out, to try to give them the chance she’d begged for.
