When she went back into the living room with three cups of steaming coffee, she told them, “That’s not all.”
Her parents turned their heads in her direction.
“He left a restaurant to me.”
“The one in Tennessee?”
“No, this one is in Treepoint, Kentucky.”
“Treepoint, Kentucky?”
“Yes.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
Sophie debated telling her the whole truth about what Mr. Keates had told her then decided against doing so. Her mother would argue for her to sell it before she could go and check it out. She didn’t want to make the decision until she saw the restaurant.
“Nothing yet.”
“Then what are you going to do?” Her mother wiped her tears away with the palms of her hands.
“I’m going to Treepoint.”
Chapter Two
Jody watched the numbers slowly flick over on the gas pump. The turn-of-the-century pump was slow as shit. It would be worth the twenty-minute drive to another gas station just to save his fucking time.
A car pulling up on the other side of the pump caught his attention.
“Fuck,” he swore under his breath, seeing the woman get out of the BMW.
“Hey, Jody.”
“Hey, Baylin,” he repeated her greeting cordially. “How have you been?”
“Been better. I had to pull a double shift at the hospital,” she responded, taking off her gas cap. She looked him over as she walked to the side of the pump. “How have you been doing?”
“Can’t complain.”
“You must be busy. I can’t remember the last time you stopped by. I haven’t even seen you around town.”
“Don’t come much. Ginny and Alanna take care of the shopping. Silas takes care of the rest.”
“I heard Matthew got married. Tell him I said congratulations.”
“I will.”
Hearing the click that the gas tank was full, he pulled out the nozzle and hung it back on the pump. “Good to see you, Baylin,” he told her.
Sliding up to his side, she pressed her breasts against his arm. “If you’re not doing anything tonight, why don’t you stop by for a while before you head back home?”
“Not tonight.” Taking a step back, he felt his dick growing thick. “It’s been a long day.”
She ran the tip of her tongue over her bottom lip and a hand over his bicep. “Baby, I’ll do all the work; you won’t have to do a thing.” Suggestively, she sidled closer to him. “It’s been a while since I’ve had a taste of your dick. I’m thirsty.”
His dick thickened. He was horny as hell, and Baylin always made good on her sexual promises. Why not?
You know why, Jody told himself. While Baylin could provide him the temporary release he needed, the regret would last longer.
Silas had been apprehensive for the last couple of weeks since Ezra had told him he was having trouble reading the stars. When Jody had started paying more attention, he had also noticed the change, but he himself only grew more concerned when Silas admitted experiencing difficulty.
Fynn had started spending more time outside, reading the stars, but was only able to tell them the heavens were showing that a change was coming. Silas was taking it as a warning, while his other brothers had seen it as a good sign that one of them would find their soul mate.
Since they hadn’t been able to get a good read on the stars, Silas wanted them to remain on the mountain unless they were out on a job. The mountain they lived on heightened their powers while at the same protecting them from outsiders.
“Come on, Jody.” Baylin slid around to the front of his body, pressing hers against his. A sulky pout formed on her lips as she rubbed her breasts across his chest and thrust her groin against his. “Baby, I can feel how hard you are for me. Why go home and waste it when I’m begging you to let me do it for you?”
His willpower shrank at the closeness of Baylin’s voluptuous body. “I guess I could stop by, but I can’t stay long,” he told her, caving to his body’s demands.
With a delighted grin, she broke away. “Let me pump my gas, and we can go.”
“Let me.” Directing her to stand by the door of her car, he pulled out his card before taking out the nozzle out.
The whole time he pumped the gas, he reconsidered what he was about to do. Then, when he was finished, he walked to the door of Baylin’s car, which she was leaning against.
“Baylin …”
In his mind, he had decided to tell her he wouldn’t be going to her apartment. She must have seen from his expression he was going to backtrack.
“You aren’t changing your mind, are you?” she asked plaintively. Grabbing his hand, she pressed it to her crotch. The thin pants let him feel she was already wet. “You don’t want to leave a girl hanging, do you?”
He rubbed her pussy, then reluctantly removed his hand, horny enough to fuck her against the side of her car, regardless of the customers going in and out of the gas station’s convenience store.
