Chapter Fourteen

BAILEY TUGGED THE rod up with a snap of her wrist, rolling her hand as she reeled in yet another trout. “Ha! What does that make? Four to your one? Suck it, McKee.” She pulled the fish off the hook and put it on the stringer with the others, dropping them back into the water. “You ready to concede that I am the superior fisherwoman or should I bait my hook again?”

Chase watched her, feeling the desire moving through him like smoke at a campfire, slowly invading every part of his body and filling it. He glanced up at the sun just beginning its descent toward the horizon, still too soon for what he had planned for their evening. He moved forward and slipped the rod from her hands, setting them both along the side of truck, and bowed low in front of her.

“I concede to your far superior fishing skills.” Lifting his head, he winked at her and saw the flicker of amusement in her eyes. “Or maybe it was simply the bait you used.”

She arched a brow and grinned at him. “You’re really going to try to blame the bait? I’ve always been able to out-fish you and Justin. Just one of my many talents,” she teased.

“You’re so right,” he joked, leaning closer, wanting desperately to close the distance between them and kiss her. They’d spent the past two hours reminiscing, reminding him of the fun—and the trouble—they’d had over the years. “I suppose it’s right up there with your talent for making a bonfire.”

“Hey, I didn’t start that fire. You and Justin did.” She wagged a finger at him. “You nearly started a forest fire and pinned that one on me because you knew Uncle Colton would go easier on me than the two of you.” She glared at him. “I got grounded for three weeks and missed homecoming because of you.”

Chase leaned forward to whisper in her ear. “It was all Justin.”

“Really?” She leaned back and gave him a disapproving frown. “Justin always was the ringleader. Remind me again why we did what he suggested when it ended up with us in trouble?”

He gave her a shrug. “Because his heart is always in the right place,” Chase reminded her. “He didn’t want you to go with that douche you were dating at the time. What was that guy’s name?”

“Brady, and he wasn’t a douche,” she argued. “Justin just didn’t like him because he was in college and drove a motorcycle.”

“No, you ride a motorcycle. That was a scooter with balls,” he pointed out with a laugh. “And, because you took the heat for Justin and me, and you’ve out-fished me, I will clean these.”

“Good, because I had no intention of doing it.”

Chase reached for the fillet knife in his tackle box and squatted down at the edge of the water. He glanced over his shoulder at her, raising his brows at her comment. “You bet me that the loser had to clean the fish. You’d have skipped out on a bet?” He clucked his tongue at her.
