Chapter Sixteen

“Are you taking care of my man?”

“Who?” Mac asked, switching her cell phone to the other ear.

Brandy laughed. “Who do you think I mean? Rick.”

“Oh.” Mac shook her head. Of course. “Um, yeah. He’s fine.” She glanced toward the open door, hearing Rick snapping more twigs. She bit her lip, wishing she were down there watching. “Fine, fine,” she repeated. “He’s building a fire and I’m about to hop in the shower. It’s been a long day.”

“Don’t forget to shave your legs,” Brandy suggested.

“Why?” She knew she wouldn’t have to shave her legs for Jeremy. Nonetheless, she found a razor at the bottom of her bag and pulled it out.

“Rick told me there’s an outdoor hot tub,” Brandy said. “We all might want to take a dip tomorrow night.”

Mac nodded to herself at this sound logic then pulled out a large bath towel from under the sink.

“Can you imagine Rick coming out of the water?” Brandy said. “All broad shouldered and muscly. Total sexpot.”

“Yeah.” Like a natural reflex, Mac automatically pictured his chest once more, the cut of his stomach muscles, how the hair trailed down toward—

“Hey, Kinz?”

Mac nearly walked headfirst into the bathroom door. “Yes?” she said, feeling a bit too warm.

“Thanks.”

“For what?”

She heard her cousin sigh. “The guys I’ve been with lately have not been nice,” she began. “And Rick is pretty amazing. I can’t believe he’s been sitting there single all this time and someone hasn’t snatched him up.” She exhaled a soft, lilting laugh. “I’m so grateful to you for setting us up. He’s exactly the type of guy I can see myself falling for.”

Mac stared at her refection in the mirror. “You’re…” She swallowed hard, wanting desperately to say what she knew she shouldn’t. After a deep breath, she simply said, “You’re welcome.”

After she got off the phone with Brandy, Mac spent a very long time in the shower, not ready to go back downstairs. Halfway through shaving her left leg, she worried that she might be completely depleting the water heater tank. Maybe she should have let Rick shower first. Though thinking of Rick in the shower was not speeding her progress.

With her hair wrapped in a towel, she pulled on dry jeans and a very non-sexy flannel shirt that she’d brought along to wear for atmosphere. Where else would it be completely appropriate to wear plaid if not at a cabin in the woods? Plus, it was warm and soft, if not a little too big.

She dried her hair, moisturized her face and hands, and headed downstairs.

She felt a wave of pleasure when she saw Rick sitting on the couch. He was wearing dark jeans, a white T-shirt, and some kind of black, zip-up jacket/sweater thing. Socks, no shoes. His hair had that barely damp look and was curling at the ends. He must have taken a really quick shower. She hoped she hadn’t used up all the hot water.

It was dark outside, but the room was bright. Everything was pretty and warm.
