“Okay, you can turn it on now,” Luke called out from where he stood next to her garden.

Ashe giggled behind her hand. She knew good and well that once she turned the faucet on the sprinkler was going to soak him. Twisting the knob anyway, she doubled over when he gave a shout and a little high-stepping dance out of the rows of plant.

“Holy hell that was cold,” he laughed, shaking the water droplets off his arms.

Ashe tried to muster up her most innocent expression. “You mean you weren’t telling me to turn the sprinkler on so you could cool off?” she asked with an exaggerated bat of her eyelashes.

“You brat! You knew I would get wet,” he accused, walking over to her with the confident swagger she loved.

They’d both been working hard, weeding, watering and planting. Fencing would begin the next day, and Ashe was happy to see her plans taking shape.

If she weren’t constantly distracted by the devilishly sexy man next to her, perhaps she would be of more help. He seemed to have an endless amount of energy that she envied.

Already the sun was high in the sky, beating down on them and all but insuring she looked dreadful. Sure, she could dress in a pair of shorts and a tank to look cute, but with her blotchy cheeks from the heat along with the sweat leaving her hair damp and disheveled, she knew she was a mess.

Ashe stepped over to the playpen they’d set up near the porch with a little extra sway to her hips. It never hurts to give your all, she chuckled inwardly.

Luke had moved the patio umbrella over so Lilly could be outside with them, but also be protected from the sun. So far, she’d been content to lie there and look around, allowing them to get a lot of work done.

“Hey, Ashe, come look at this and tell me what you think,” Luke called from the edge of the ten by ten section they’d just finished.

Unsure of what it could be, she jogged over to where he stood with his hands on his hips. “What is it?” she asked, not seeing anything wrong.

“This!”

Luke’s exclamation startled her enough to allow him to scoop her up and toss her over his shoulder before walking them both back under the sprinkler’s cold spray.

Ashe was hanging upside down in a fit of laughter with his firm ass right in her face. “And you called me a brat?”

“What can I say? The water was so refreshing I thought you might enjoy it too,” he chuckled.
