-Jacey-As the months passed between Caleb’s and my rescues and the trial, it was easy to fall into a new routine. A quiet, easy routine. As we healed under Horace’s watchful eyes, we started being able to help Billy out more. He taught Caleb and me how to milk cows and collect eggs. Then, when we w
“Make another pound of it, Caleb. Horace is going to hog it all,” Billy chuckled.“You’d better believe it,” the vet replied.I got more plates and silverware out. While Caleb took care of the eggs and bacon, I poured orange juice and coffee for the newcomers then went to make more toast after setti
My smile wavered. “But I don’t even know what I’d like to be.”“It’s still a shame not having the full college experience,” Horace said. “Frankly, it’s not fair.”“It’s not,” Caleb agreed. He rubbed my back. “But that doesn’t mean we can’t still have a full, happy life.”‘I love you,’ I mouthed to h
-Caleb-Two weeks passed faster than I expected. Faster than I wanted, for sure. Jacey and I spent days working hard on the farm, though I left middays to help Horace at his vet clinic.“You’ve gotten some more muscles,” Jacey observed one evening when she and I were making dinner in the kitchen.Th
Billy got the salad and a variety of dressings.“Ready to testify tomorrow?” he asked after we’d all gotten our food on our plates.I choked. Jacey pounded me on the back. “You don’t ever mince words, do you, Billy?”“Nope,” he replied. “I kind of figured you two were nervous, and I thought we’d tal
“Ah, the road,” I reminisced, remembering all ten thousand lakes. I also remembered Jacey going outside her usual comfort zone and getting a bit naughty with Hansen and Bea around.This place didn’t have quite the same vibe. This was Billy’s home. Neither of us wanted to make him feel uncomfortable
-Jacey-Caleb’s strong arms really were quite sexy. I mean, not that he wasn’t ripped before, but now he was super ripped.He carried me down the hall to our bedroom as though I weighed nothing. I turned the knob and he bumped it shut behind us. He laid me down on the quilt-covered bed, blue and cot
When I came, I wasn’t expecting it. Maybe it was lack of practice, or maybe it was just the magic he was creating between my legs, but fireworks went off all over my body and I moaned loudly, my hands going from the sheets to grip Caleb’s hair and hold his magic tongue just where it was.He slurped
“So, I think you’ve been doing some snooping,” Ike said, leaning in the doorway.My eyes snapped upward, and I was sure I wasn’t hiding the hatred in them very well. “What the hell is all this?”“Your inheritance. You know, this makes it easier. Your grandfather and I were trying to figure out how t
I dropped the headphones and was about to go striding into the office to break up their nefarious little clique when I looked at Dawn’s screen. She’d left it unlocked.There was a folder open I’d never seen on the server before.I glanced over the monitor to make sure Dawn wasn’t on her way back the
-Will-I sat behind my grandfather’s desk, bored again. After private schools, Yale, and Harvard Business School, I was bored out of my mind. I’d followed my expected trajectory. I’d done everything expected of me.Only once did I ever step a toe out of line. Well, almost. I suggested, at one of my
-Jacey-“Mom? Where did Uncle Billy put the Fruity Pebbles?” McKenzie asked.She’d been home from her first year of college a week and had already settled right in like she owned the place. Billy had taken to hiding the Fruity Pebbles they both liked, one, because he thought it was hilarious, and tw
Shower. SHOWER!!! I stopped her jerking me off and helped her into the tub then followed her in and closed the floral curtain.Jacey went immediately for the soap, lathering up her hands and then starting to scrub me.“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you,” I groaned when she washed my rigid cock.“
I should have been overjoyed. On some level, I was ecstatic. But anger bubbled up in me as well, and I gripped her upper arms and pushed her just far enough away that I could look her in the eyes. “Jacey, you’ve been icing me out for almost a month.”Her eyes welled with tears, but she quickly dashe
-Caleb-A month later, Masterson was in prison, and Jacey and I were back on the farm. She had spoken to me less and less as the weeks passed and was now icing me out altogether. I didn’t blame her. I’d given her false hope.But I’d been so sure Masterson was going to bungle it with Will. A bad nann
“Good luck with that. Look, I really am on your side. This plea bargain is a good thing. Twenty-five years isn’t a short prison sentence, and maybe in that amount of time, he’ll be able to reflect on his actions. Hell, I don’t know, maybe he’ll find Jesus. What I do know is Masterson can provide for
“I hear what you’re saying,” Officer Alexander replied slowly. “And Lord knows I agree with you, but there’s nothing we can do, Jacey. Nothing. Do you understand? I want you to tell me you understand before we go back out there. You can’t make a scene.”My hands balled into fists. “If they don’t wan
