Chapter 11

Paul

I’ve never had to work so hard for a lumberjack competition. Max brought his A game, but I knew I would win in the end. I do this for a living. Wood is in my bones. I eat woodchips for breakfast. I’m not a bear shifter for nothing. Seeing Scarlett’s reaction to me winning made my heart leap. I won it for her this year to help pay for the maintenance on her house. I can’t wait to get started. With the money from my winnings, I can set up her house pretty nice.

The next week goes by quickly with my days spent working at the lumber site and my nights working on Scarlett’s house. We barely spend any time together though. The delivery business she has is bustling, and she doesn’t get home until dark, which worries me. I’ve expressed my concern to her, but she waves me off and says she’s safe on the road to her home. I’m not so sure. Christmas is almost upon us and since Scarlett is the local delivery girl, many people have been requesting her to deliver packages as well. She’s making a killing. I know she’s saving it to pay me for my work but it’ll be a good nest egg for her. She needs savings.

I finally finish early at her place one night and decide to come home to get some rest for the evening. A knock on my door surprises me at this late hour. I head toward the door and am even more surprised by the person there.

“Scarlett, what are you doing here?” I’d never thought to invite her to my home since hers needed so much work. Also, that last summer she spent a lot of time here. I didn’t want to dig up those memories for her. Honestly, I don’t want her to remember.

“Hi. I didn’t know you lived here.” She seems as surprised as I am. “I have a delivery for you.” She looks confused as she gives me a shopping bag and a note. Grabbing the bag out of her hands, I’m the one who’s confused. A box of condoms is in the bag, nothing else. “The note reads, see you later.” Her arms cross over her chest as I realize what this looks like. Someone is fucking with me or setting me up, and I think I knew who.

“I know what this looks like, but I think Max Wolf is setting me up. There is no one else, and I didn’t order these.” I’m not sure she believes me, it seems she’s teetering on the edge.

“I took the call, it was a woman who ordered the delivery.” Red looks hurt and troubled. I can’t have that.

“I haven’t been with a girl since you left.” My eyes close as I let that last word slip out. Oh shit. With that one lapse of thought I’ve just revealed that we used to know each other. This one delivery has just ruined everything.

“What do you mean since I left?” She looks around the house and then back at me.
