Sea Breeze 03 - While It Lasts

like that. I’ll have Jeremy take it.” I was sure Daddy wouldn’t really care who took it as long as it wasn’t me. For some reason, the idea of Becca touch ing Cage bothered me. I wasn’t sure why exactly but it did. The idea of my friend pregnant and unm arried with a loser as the baby- daddy was probably the main reason .

Chapter Three

    Cage

    Those damn cows came running when I showed up with the feed. They actually knew it was chow time and I had the goods. It wa s also scary as shit to have those sons of bitches running at you like they were going to trample you. Wiping my forehead with the towel W ilson had left me this morning saying I ’d need it soon enough, I sat down on the tailgate of the truck and reached for the thermos of ice water he’d also brought me. It was almost gon e. It had to be at least ninety- five degrees already today and it wasn’t even lunch time. I’d been ho ping the little blonde with the boots would sho w up today and give me a brief distraction. She seemed like the easy kind. The n o strings attached sort. I needed to blow off some steam. Especially if I was going to have to watch Eva Brooks strut around in a bikini top and tiny shorts all damn day. Reminding myself that she was completely off limits was difficult.
    Eva wasn’t the first girl I’d had to refuse myself. I’d refused to touch Low but for different reasons. She was my best friend. I respected her. I wanted to know that when we moved into a relationship , which included sex , that she would be my only one. That never happened. Honestly, I doubted it ever would have. Even if Marcus hadn’t come along. I just wasn’t a one- woman guy.
    The difference with Eva was that the only reason I wasn’t touching her was because her daddy would hang me up by my nuts then fire my ass and I coul d kiss my scholarship goodbye. Well, that and the girl really didn’t seem to like me much. But, I wanted a taste of her. Bad. Real bad. She had such a hot little temper it would be fun to see what she was like during sex. Shaking my head , I stood up and reached for my towel to tuck into my back pocket. I wondered if I’d even be thinking about her if she wasn’t so off limits. The whole ‘ want what you can’t have ’ thi ng always did bug the hell out of me.
    “You ready to go bale some hay?” Jeremy asked as he walked up beside the truck.
“Not really but I don’t think I get a choice,” I replied with a grin . He was a nice guy. Eva probably led him around by his nose because he was too damn nice for someone like her. She needed a strong hand. Someone she couldn’t push around. Someone who wasn’t afraid to tie her ass up and stop! I had to quit thinking about her. She was the “do not touch” toy.
    “It ain’t all that bad. Besides, we can always go jump in the lake and cool off. It’s the only way to make it all day in this heat.”
    I’d seen the lake yesterday when W ilson had taken me around in his truck showing me the property. The lake was man- made and ran along the back of three pro perties. The Beasley’s , which were Jeremy’s folks, this one and the Blevin ’s . Hot little Becca Lynn’s family. I could think of some fun activities Becca Lynn and I could entertain ourselves with in that lake.
    “I’m out of water. I need more before we go.”
    Jeremy glanced back at the house then at me, “Mind if I go get it for you?”
    I could hear the apologetic tone in his voice. That was weird. Was he sorry that his girl disliked me so much? Most guys would be thrilled.
    “Not at all. I’m sure Eva would prefer you go get it.”
    Jeremy sighed, “Yeah, she would.”
    These country folks were weird and oddly polite. I thought I’d handled Eva well yesterday afternoon in the kitchen.
    Jeremy chuckled and snapped me out of my Eva thoughts. “Looks like you got c ompany anyway.”
    Becca Lynn was strutting towards us in another tight tank top. This one was pink. Pale pink. And the girl didn’t have on a bra. Wow. She wasn’t playing around. Yeah, Becca Lynn and I would get along just fine.
    “I’ll be back in a few,” Jeremy said before heading up toward the house.
    Becca Lynn stopped in front of me and cocked her hip to one side placing her hands in the back pockets of her cut off jean shorts. That stance made her tits poke out and the imprint of her nipples was right there for my viewing pleasure.
    “So, you getting a break anytime soon?” she ask ed , staring up at me with a ‘
