“We were hoping you had a spare key with you,” Jessa cut to the chase in that accent of hers. “I’ve run out of places to go, I’m afraid.”
“I’ll do you one better,” I answered, snagging my bag and bat. “Howabout I come with.”
“If you’re asking,” Cass said, “I say no.”
One of my brows rose, and I turned my attention to Jessa. “And what do you say, Duchess?”
Her cheeks flushed prettily. “I suppose that depends.”
“On what?”
“Whether you’ll be a gentleman or not.”
I rounded the dugout and stalked toward her with a hot smirk on my face. “Darlin’, I’ll never promise you that.” The heat of her licked at me as I passed closer than I needed to, throwing over my shoulder, “But what I can promise is to keep Beau in line and off of you.”
I threw my stuff into the open backseat of the Scout, turning to find the two of them having some kind of silent debate with nothing but their eyes and a few slight shifts of their heads.
Cass rolled her eyes. “Fine. But for God’s sake, put a shirt on for once in your life. It’s obscene.”
They headed toward me, but I frowned as I pulled on my shirt and leaned against the Scout. “What’s in your ass, Cassidy?”
Sparked, she narrowed her eyes and ate up the ground between us with long legs for her small frame, leaving Jessa by the car. “I don’t like leaving her with you. That’s what’s in my ass.”
“You’re just mad you had to clean my bathroom yesterday.”
“That didn’t help.” She poked me in the chest, saying under her breath and through her teeth, “You’d better be a fucking gentleman. If you have any love and respect for me at all, you will not touch her. You will treat her like the treasure she is, or so help me God, I will ruin you. And you know all the ways I’ll do it.”
She was serious, that much was certain. But I also knew the warning wasn’t as fiery as she was pretending it was. Cass was a sister to me. Which meant that she was asking and not telling me. And reminding me that she knew how to prank me to literal death.
I grabbed her finger and twisted her hand so that we ended up in a shake. “You know she’s safe with me, Cass. I’m just messing around.”
She softened a little, but her eyes were still narrow. “Well, cool it. You’re stressing me out, and I have enough to be stressed about.”
“All right, Squirt.” I pulled her into a hug, further softening her bulldogging rage. “Don’t worry. I got you.”
She sighed and whacked me on the arm halfheartedly.
When I let her go and made sure Jessa was watching, I tossed my keys in the air and caught them.
“Well, come on, ladies. I don’t have all day.”
“Yes you do,” Cass said over her shoulder.
I chuckled and climbed into the Scout. “You’re right, I do.”
She yelled something else at me, but I didn’t hear over the rumble of my engine. I cupped my hand to my ear, but she rolled her eyes again and said something to Jessa before slipping into her Audi. Jessa laughed, her back arching to expose a little bit of her pale stomach between her cropped white top and the wide legged trousers she had on. My eyes lasered to the spot—I didn’t know why something so modest made me salivate. Maybe it was because, outside of Henry, she seemed like a woman who was together all the time, in all circumstances.
And I was left with a rush of desire to see her undone.

JESSA
In the five minutes we’d been out of the car, it had turned into a sweltering hot-box.
Cass was going on about something, but I wasn’t listening. My eyes were on Remy as he gripped his steering wheel, the muscles of his arms and shoulders bulging when he twisted to look back as he reversed the car. The vision reminded me of his strut off the baseball field in athletic shorts that did nothing to conceal the outline of what I knew to be his massive cock. Which reminded me of the pornographic dream I had about him last night that woke me with an actual, real-life orgasm.
