CHAPTER FOURTEEN

STEELE

She is killing me. Slamming her into the wall may not have been my best move when it comes to her, but seeing her react to me like that only fueled the fire I’m trying to put out. I’m not sure I want to stop this attraction I have toward her. I need time to think. Then again, she said she would back off. Now it’s me who’s struggling with her sudden decision.

I toss the ice chest and gear in the back of the truck as she follows me with the lunch, and we both stay completely quiet on the drive over until we pull up to the water. “This is beautiful.” Her face lights up every time she sees something new. I forget that she’s been deprived of beautiful scenery for years. There isn’t jack shit but sand and death for miles in the desert.

One thing I’ve come to know about Grace is, she’s easy to please when it comes to spending time with her. I can tell she’ll never be materialistic, which fits perfectly with me. Not that I’m trying to find ways that we’re compatible. That seems to be easy to do.

“Follow me,” I tell her after positioning my truck with the back toward the lake. I throw open my door, climb out, release the tailgate, and grab everything I need out of the back.

“That way,” I nod with my head, then start to follow her. My eyes are glued to her cute little ass that’s teasing me in those shorts gripping tightly to her behind. I’m pissed off at myself as her words of me not believing I’m good enough echo in my head, and every other word that has come out of her sweet little mouth. I’m drowning in this woman.

“You don’t have to be a grump. I’d almost believe that’s your normal demeanor if I hadn’t seen the softer side of you myself.” I stop walking, set everything down, and begin to prepare the fishing rods, ignoring her snide remark. “Don’t change, though; I like this rough and rugged act you’ve got going. I find it very attractive.” She smirks when I lift my head to glare at her. I know she's only trying to joke around; what she fails to see is, I’m fighting back all my temptations when it comes to her.

I move toward her, letting the rod drop to the dock. She doesn’t even flinch when it falls to her feet beside her.

“Grace. I’m holding back from fucking you senseless. From showing you just how rough and rugged I like to be.”

“Well, quit. I never asked you to go easy on me. In fact, I haven’t asked for anything from you except honesty. I don’t want a man who can’t be himself, and you, Trevor, are definitely not acting like yourself.”

“And you know this about me, how? Let me tell you something. You couldn’t handle the real me. Hell, I can’t handle myself at times.” I rear my head back; frustration is boiling in my veins.
