-Caleb- The small seaplane touched down on a small lake then taxied to a dock hidden by overhanging trees. Jacey leaned against me, pretending to sleep. I knew she was pretending because of the way she was breathing, but honestly, it was for the best. I didn’t trust Jacob or Girard as far as I cou
“You like it a little rough?” I asked cautiously. With a swallow, Jacey responded, “You want to give it to me a little rough?” “This time… yeah. But I won’t if you don’t like it,” I said quickly. Jacey kissed me then kissed along my earlobe. “A little rough is okay.” I rolled Jacey underneath me
-Jacey- Once the men were gone, I heard someone hobble toward my tent. I pulled the covers closer around myself as the flap zipped open. “Brought you some clothes, baby girl,” Stumpy, or at least I assumed it was Stumpy, said. “By the sounds of last night, you’re gonna need to go for a swim. So I
My stomach turned. “Look, Caleb is my one and only. And that’s how it’s going to stay.” Stumpy blinked at me. “You mean to tell me that boy’s been hogging that body of yours since you became legal?” Actually, since about the very moment I became legal, but Stumpy didn’t need to know that. My cheek

Girard sighed. “Get her out of the tent. We need to take her to a doctor. Now,” Girard barked. For once, I didn’t argue with him. I got out of the tent then gently lifted Jacey into my arms. Girard pulled out a cell phone and called for a seaplane. “Two hours,” he grunted, disconnecting the call.
-Jacey- Caleb gave his gun to the Mountie who then had him put his hands behind his back. He cuffed him and started leading him away. “Hey!” I called weakly. “Hey, you can’t do that!” No one listened. Paramedics bustled over and picked up the stretcher, hefting me out of the seaplane and into an
