All Chapters of In The Dark: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I was up the next morning, laying around, thinking about my redhead when I got a text from Eve. She said she was getting breakfast and to come over in a bit. I was glad to see she didn’t hate me, but I still desperately wondered how the hell Derek never told her about his family or how she never saw a single picture. I rolled over to their room and Eve greeted me, she seemed in a good mood so I just went with it, knowing full well you don’t question a woman when she’s happy. I wasn’t going to do anything to take the smile off her face. We were sitting and starting to eat when Derek said, “all right little girl, what is churning in that head of yours.” I suppressed a snort because Eve blushed. I called Beth my little Beth, but I would probably totally embarrass her if I did

~Heath’s Point of View~ After berading my home decor choices, Beth and I fucked like rabbits for a few hours before she finally passed out. I held her, just thinking of all the long nights I laid here alone, dreaming of finding her, dreaming that one day, one day I would finally have my little redhead. I was done waiting, I wanted to ask her to be my girlfriend, officially. I wanted her to know I was serious. I mean, I was already taking her shopping tomorrow to let her completely gut my house. I wanted her to make it her own, then hopefully she’d want to stay here. The thought of it made me hard, although thinking about her in any fucking capacity made me hard. She belonged here, with me, in my arms and in our bed. Our bed … I loved that.

The next morning there was a knock at the door and I was super pissed. I was so hungover I just wanted to sleep with my little redhead. I knew Derek and Eve had flown back east so I wondered who the fuck was bothering me. Beth didn’t even stir, so I got up and threw on some shorts. I opened the door to find Haven, and I wondered how she knew where I was. “Hey hey, best man, rise and shine,” she said pushing her way in. “Fuck Haven it’s early,” I whined.It was hard to look at Haven sometimes, she had huge tits and they were always pushed up and popping out.“It’s not early, it’s almost noon! Marcus and I are planning bachelor and bachelorette parties, everyone will be o

Well nobody won the bet about when Helen would call Derek, she waited until Monday afternoon, and nobody thought she’d hold out that long. We all decided we had to head back in the morning, and that the takeover would have to be next week. Helen would already be squirming and if she tried to reach out to Edwin, she would get nowhere. He was off in the Caribbean, celebrating his freedom. I told Beth I might not be too available over the next few days, we agreed it was best she head home and try to dump her moving on her parents. She took a flight home, I wanted her to take the jet but she said it was too much just for her to take on her own. I made her accept a first class ticket though, I wanted her to be comfortable. It was impossible to say good-bye, but really I was going to be balls to the wall for a fe

~Heath’s Point of View~ I had never been extremely close with my dad, he worked very long days and nights when I was little, basically busting it to make his cattle ranch profitable, to make it his dream. I was close with my mom and my siblings but since joining the army and traveling the world ... then coming to work for Derek that all kind of fizzled out. I did always regret not being around more, in the last few years I’d gone home once a year, but by the end of a week I was ready to leave. We'd all always pick up where we last left off, and get along but after a few days we usually had enough.Montana was never going to be for me and I was on edge wondering now if my mom would ask me to move home.
