Chapter Sixteen

Grassland’s annual Independence Day picnic was in full swing. The sun had set. Countless strings of festive lights and banners dangled from the ancient cottonwood trees. The scent of smoked ribs still lingered in the air from the dinner rush at the Bar-B-Q pits, reminding Carson that he’d missed yet another meal.

In years past, the picnic had been a small-town affair, a couple hundred townspeople at most. He and Connor would play a few cover songs on their student guitars, and the small crowds would clap and cheer. Their mom would cry. And then they’d run off to collect their free Sno-cones from the concessions manager as their official entertainment fee.

Time had changed more than the guitar he played. The place was packed. People from three counties had crammed into the town park and stuffed themselves to the gills with homemade pie and spit-smoked beef and were now either sprawled out on a blanket in the middle of the freshly mowed lawn, waiting on the fireworks show, or stumbling into each other on the over-crowded dance floor.

A fast-paced country song—not one of theirs—boomed over the speakers. Carson leaned against a tree, hidden in the shadows as he watched the festive crowd. His mom was dancing with their dad, Mason. His sister Dani was cutting a path through the crowd with some guy he’d yet to meet, their dad, Grey, watching her like a hawk from the sidelines.

Jonah and his friend, Pryce—another Grunion—had given Carson a ride into town and had long since disappeared to meet up with a group of friends down at the reservoir in Yellow Water to have their own party. Cory was off pouting somewhere because he wasn’t allowed to tag along with them.

He felt bad for the kid. Being the youngest of five siblings, the only one without a twin, had to suck at times; though to hear Dani and Jonah screaming at each other over the stupidest of things every day, one would think being a twin was the worst curse on the planet. Those two had been like oil and water from the day they were born.

A stimulating laugh caught Carson’s attention. He turned to see a radiant Breezy being twirled around the dance floor by their dad, Matt. She’d managed to worm her way right into the heart of his family in record time.

Ten days had dragged by since he’d opened his eyes and found her hovering over him in his parents’ basement. After his argument with Connor in the barn, he’d taken a truckload of cold meds and crashed on the couch, trying to figure out a way to make her understand that she had to leave. It wasn’t long before his libido had taken over and filled his head with images of her beneath him, between them and he’d drifted off to sleep planning her seduction instead.

Blame it on the fever, the medicine or a combination of the two, he hadn’t given a thought to all the reasons he needed
