Sea Breeze 03 - While It Lasts

Becca announced as she jumped down from the railing and started down the stairs.
    What if he was changing? What if she saw his pierced nipple? I didn’t want h er to see it. It was my secret. I opened my mouth to say something to stop her but I didn’t have an excuse other than I didn’t want to share him. How ridiculous was that? I watched helplessly as Becca Lynn pranced across the yard toward the barn doors. Short of running after her and tackling her to the ground I couldn’t do anything about this.

Chapter Twelve

    Cage
    I’d made it three days without breaking down and going after her. I wasn’t sure how much longe r I could wait her out. She’d ru n and I wanted her to be t he one to come back. But damm it seeing her sitting there on that porch with her eyes on me so bi g and sad was more than any man could withstand.
    I slammed my door closed and stalked over to slam my fist into the wall . I needed to get out my frustration somehow. I cared too much. Way too damn much. This was different than caring for Low. Completely different. Eva had me wrapped up in knots. I didn’t do commitment. I wasn’t a on e- woman guy. I liked variety. I liked not having to give a shit. This caring stuff was bullshit. I didn’t need this.
    A knock on the door startled me and hope soared in my chest. She’d finally come back. Two long strides and I was at the door jerking it open ready to fall on my knees and promise to do whatever the hell she wanted me to do in order to make her happy.
    “Hey Cage,” Becca Lynn said cheerily as my excitement turned to bitterness.
    “ Becca ,” I replied.
    “Um, can I come in?” she asked. I looked behind her to make sure Eva wasn’t standing there waiting to talk to me. Where had Becca come from anyway? Had she been on the porch with Eva?
    “I guess. ” I stepped back. Hopefully the lack of enthusiasm in my tone would keep her from doing anything stupid.
    “ Um, so , how have you been?” she asked as she stepped inside and closed the door behind her.
    “Good.”
    She walked over and sat down on the edge of my bed. From the way she was sticking her tits out in my direction she was offering herself up for whatever I might want to do. A couple weeks ago I would’ve been all over that. Not now. Things had changed for me.
    “I’m sorry I haven’t be e n around since the night at the lake. I guess I don’t take rejection well,” she cooed.
    “Guess not, ” I grunted and kept my distance from her.
    Becca Lynn reached down to take the hem of her tank top and started pulling it up.
    “Don’t. Becca . I’m not interested. I told you before that you’re a nice girl and real pretty but just not my type.”
    Becca ripped her shirt off anyway and threw it back on her bed. Her bare tits were nice but after having seen Eva’s they paled in comparison.
    “I know about your girlfriend. I’m not going to tell anyone,” she purred as she reached down and began playing with her nipples.
    “What girlfriend?” I asked , confused.
    Becca Lynn smiled brightly up at me, “The one you’ve grown up with all your life. Eva told me about her. “
    Eva had told Becca I had a girlfriend? She’d used Low as the “girlfriend” so she would n’t actually be lying. I couldn’t keep the grin off my face. She hadn’t wanted Becca to come in here. She’d been jealous.
    I wasn’t waiting on her to give in and come to me. This wasn’t about any more games. I wanted to talk to Eva, now. I needed her to tell me everything. Even if I already knew it I wanted her to tell me. It wa s time she stopped running and faced her fears.
    “Where are you going?” Becca Lynn asked and I glanced back at her now standing in my room topless and confused.
    “Put your shirt on Becca Lynn and run on along.”
    I didn’t wait for her to throw something at me or call me names. I’d heard all that before. I just wanted to find Eva.
    Opening the barn doors , I looked back up at the porch and found her still sitting there. Our gazes locked and I motioned toward the lake with a tilt of my head even though it was a mile back on the land. I waited until she nodded in agreement then I headed for the truck. It was time we got this shit straightened out.

    Eva
    As soon as Cage pulled away in the truck, Becca Lynn came stomping out of the barn with a snarl on her face. Relief washed over me. When she’d gone in there I’d let one bad scenario after another play in my head until Cage had come out of the barn
