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
“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
-Jacey- Caleb’s shoulder bumped against mine, sending a zing of attraction shooting straight to my core. The Suburban had hit another deep pothole on the disused logging road we were taking to my father’s favorite fishing lake in the wilds of Canada. I loved it there. I did not love the fact that
-Caleb- Eating disorder? “What, like you’re anorexic?” I asked, horrified. My stepsister curled tightly into her door. She wouldn’t even look at me, and not for the usual reasons. I raked my eyes over Jacey, trying to see what would ever have given her the idea she needed to be anorexic. “Bulim
-Jacey- I tried not to laugh at Caleb when he went thigh deep into the water. I really tried. But when he also managed to trip over a large rock and land right on his ass, I couldn’t stop a hearty guffaw from escaping me. It wasn’t ladylike in the slightest. But it was honest. Luckily, Jeanie and
-Caleb- “Fuck!” I said as I tried to right our course. But the canoe just kept snaking back and forth against the water, out of my control. I could hear Hank shouting off in the distance, but I couldn’t hear what he was saying over the roar of the water and the sputtering of the motor. We were he
-Jacey- My father started a fire, and soon we were roasting weenies on sticks. Jeanie and my father took one of the makeshift stump-and-board benches near the fire, so Caleb and I were forced side-by-side on the other. Caleb was roasting his own weenie, and so was I, but my father had stuck two we
-Caleb- Jocelyn’s lips were just as soft and plump and perfect as I’d expected. The lifejackets were awkward as fuck, but I still managed to put a hand at the nape of her neck and keep her lips pressed to mine. I felt it when the shock left her body and she melted into me. I flicked my tongue over
“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

-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
