Chapter Seven

Almost two hours later, Cord received slaps on his back from his teammates for the grand slam he hit that took his ball well beyond the boundaries of Fur Field’s fencing, lost in the Redwood forest behind it. It had brought in three other players giving his team the lead and the win. His run in was just gravy on top giving them a two point lead at the end. As the two teams filed into separate lines and shook hands as they walked past each other with the ‘good game’ dictum, he was glad to see that Rena, even with her earlier reluctance, had gotten into the spirit of the game.

Before the game got started, he’d sensed something with her. The concern she was feeling for whatever reason had almost been palpable. He doubted that anyone else picked up on it, she had been doing a damn good job of covering it up. However, he was too attuned to her to be fooled.

Soon, she had shaken off whatever it had been and he’d watched as she laughed and chatted with her team, making friends with everyone, excepted one person. Marcella.

Before he could make his way along the people of his cousin’s team to Rena, Marcella grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side. “So, Genma’s relative is staying at her house?”

“Yup,” he replied, almost positive where this conversation was going. Unable to stop himself, Cord’s gaze was drawn to Rena where she stood talking to Greta and Natasha, Sheriff Smokey’s receptionist. The three tall black women, striking in different ways, looked as if they should be modeling an African American fashion magazine.

“So, that leaves you and…Rena…a lot of time alone.”

He didn’t have to be genius or psychic to pick up on the jealous tone of Marcella’s words.

Finally, pinning his ex-girlfriend with a stare. Now that his mate was here, the last thing he wanted was any confusion between him and Marcella that would cause more obstacles between him and Rena. He had tried to be as gentle with Marcella as possible, but, he could clearly see now he needed to be blunt. “Look, Marcella, I’m not trying to—”

“So, you’re decent at softball…a girl’s game.” Tim, his cousin’s voice broke Cord off from his let down of Marcella.

Turning, Cord faced the man stalking toward him, still carrying his bat and baseball glove.

Arching a slow brow at Tim, Cord folded his arms across his chest wondering what his cousin was getting at. “But
