In this moment, she understood.
Kru was the knife.
Chapter Nine
Wanna fuck?
Cadence laughed at Kru’s text. “Good Lord,” she whispered to herself as she typed out a response. I’m working. Send.
Are you blushing right now? Take a picture. I like when you blush.
Cadence pursed her lips and scanned the warehouse really quick, then took a quick selfie. Hated it. Bad angle, so she took another one. Then took her hair out of her messy bun and floofed it out. Nope. She flipped it to one side for more volume. Yep. She needed lip gloss. Cherry Berry lip gloss applied, she took another selfie. Bad angle again.
Don’t overthink it. You could send me a picture of your pant leg and I would get a boner.
She cackled at Kru’s text and said, “Fuck it,” then sent the last picture she took.
A minute later, he sent a picture of his own. It was the picture she’d just sent him as the lock screen on his phone.
Okay, she had the biggest crush in the world on this man.
You look so pretty today. I liked this morning.
You liked fucking me three times? Or you enjoyed the toast I made you? Not to brag, but I’m pretty mediocre at toast. Send.
You burned the shit out of it haha. I liked the fucking three times part, but also I didn’t know I liked burnt toast until this morning. Now I will refuse to eat it any other way. Speaking of eating it…
The blush in her cheeks got hotter. He had definitely eaten her out this morning. It was a first for her, and she’d tried to have a moment where she was embarrassed, but he put an immediate stop to her insecurities on account of him so obviously genuinely enjoying himself. That man worshipped her body, and she worshipped his. He took very, very good care of her.
Want to see something funny? he asked.
I swear to God, if you send me a wiener pic… Send.
I said something funny, not something awesome. A video came through, and Cadence sank deeper into her rolling chair, propped her foot up on a stack of boxed worms that were set to ship out this morning. She opened up the video thinking it would be a funny video of a puppy or something. It wasn’t. In the video, Gunner was at the top of a hill that was clearly a logging jobsite. He was hanging off a huge machine, yelling down at them about what lazy fucks they were. “Stop taking video of me!” Gunner roared.
“If I don’t take video, how will I laugh at you later when I rewatch this?” Kru asked.
“I’m going to kill you!”
“You can try, I guess, or you can get back to work and stop fucking yelling at us.”
“I’m sick of the shit-talking back every damn time I ask him to do anything.”
“Yeah?” a voice sounded from the side. “The stuff you ask of me are four-day jobs! I have a fucking life outside of this!”
And then Gunner Changed into a bear and charged down the mountain, flying over felled logs and barely ducking a huge log that the machine was dragging up the hillside.
“Kru?” someone asked from the side of the camera.
“It’s fine,” Kru assured him.
“Kru!” another man yelled.
“Fiiiiine,” he gritted out. And then just as the log reached the huge machine up the hill, the machine pitched backward and a cable snapped. The log loosed and came hurtling down the hill with Gunner, the snapped portion of cable flying round and round, dislodging other logs from the mountainside until it was an avalanche of logs headed their way.
The camera fell as a roar sounded, and someone picked it up and aimed it up the hillside. An enormous saber-toothed tiger was bolting at an impossible speed toward Gunner’s grizzly bear.
“Dude, put the phone down and run!” another man yelled.
