CHAPTER 12

Mason

Summer opens her cabin door to me, and once again, words escape me. Dinner with my parents is usually a laid-back affair, so Summer’s cutoff denim shorts and black t-shirt are perfect for tonight. But there’s nothing laid-back in the way she wears those fucking shorts. They cling to her hips and expose every inch of her sun-kissed legs, leaving me longing for the carefree days we spent together by the lake.

“Hey,” I say, unable to tear my gaze away from her. “I brought you something.” Reaching into my pocket, I pull out the Ziploc bag filled with red jellybeans because the red ones are her favorite and jellybeans are our thing.

“Ah, Mase, you shouldn’t have.” Summer snatches the bag from me and stuffs it into her pocket.

“You’re not gonna eat them?” I ask, surprised that she’s saving them and not shoveling them down like she usually does.

She shakes her head and grins. “Nah, I’ll save them for later. Ryker and Cole both brought me jellybeans earlier tonight, and I got hungry waiting for you to show up, Captain Slow, so I ate them.”

I need to have a serious conversation with Summer. There are just some things that she shouldn’t be telling the team. It’s bad enough that the guys like to taunt me by calling me Captain Slow, but now they all have red jellybeans stashed inside their gear for her. I’m her supplier, me, and they don’t need to give her anything that she should only get from me.

“You need to stop with the Captain Slow shit,” I reply, knowing it’s useless. She’s been calling me that since we were kids. I’ve told her a million times not to call me Captain Slow, but it’s Summer and she’ll do it anyway, and there is nothing I can do about it. “Are you ready to go?”

Why the hell are we having dinner with my parents again? Now that I have finally decided to go for it, I don’t want to waste any more time. I want to tell her how I feel and how I’ve always felt, and then I want to show her. Heat coils in my gut at the thought of peeling the shorts off her, baring her to my gaze inch by inch, and making her mine in every way that a man can. But we have plans with my folks, so I guess it’s mashed potatoes and gravy.

“I want to show you something first.” She grabs my hand and pulls me into the living room, and my eyes are glued to her ass until I spot the coffee table littered with notes and photos from the case.

“Sit,” she orders and I comply like a well-trained dog, taking a seat on the couch.

Summer takes a seat beside me and shuffles through the mess on the table, picking up the photo of the moon symbol that was left at both victims’ houses. “I’ve been doing some research on this symbol, and at first I got the
