She smiled weakly. “Something like that.”

“Well, he’s wrong on over half of that. I can’t keep you from worrying, but I sure as hell can promise to never break your heart. And I swear I’ll spend every spare moment of my time with you.”

Her mouth opened, but quickly shut again as she searched my face. Almost as if she was trying to commit the moment to memory.

“Kiss me,” she whispered.

With a grin, I replied, “Gladly.”

I swept my tongue across her lower lip, drawing out a whimper from those plump pink lips. When she opened a little, I covered her mouth with mine. We quickly became lost in each other, our hands moving gently over each other’s body while the sound of the water rushed past us.

Drawing back, we gazed into each other’s eyes. Rory softly said, “I wish we could stay in this spot forever. Just you and me.”

“You’d get bored of me.”

“Never,” she stated with a wink.

“Come on, let’s head back to the campsite.”

After I got Rory safely over the creek, we walked hand in hand to the campsite. The entire walk was filled with Rory talking about how excited she was to see Presley later. Truth be told, so was I.

We rounded the corner, and came to a complete stop.

“Oh no,” Rory whispered. “How did we not notice he wasn’t with us?”

“Son-of-a-bitch!” I cried out while my eyes swept over the destruction of the campsite. When my glare landed on the black-and-white dog, I pointed to him and he quickly sat. “I’m going to kill you!”

Suddenly Rory screamed from behind me, “Finn, no! It’s not that bad!”

Flash jumped up and took off running to the other side of the tent. I’d have caught him if I hadn’t tripped over the large stick that appeared out of nowhere.

“Finn!” Rory called out. “Oh my goodness. Are you okay?”

She kneeled down to me. “Your leg is cut, but it’s not deep,” she said, then giggled.

I jumped up. “You think this is funny?”

Flash barked, and I glared at him again.

“Finn. Take a deep breath and blow it out. It’s not that bad.”

I stared at her with an open mouth. “Not that bad? Look at it, Rory.”

I did a three-sixty while flailing my arms about. “He destroyed it! He even chewed up the lights!”

Glaring back at Flash, I shouted, “I hope your shit lights up for weeks, you little bastard!”

Chapter 42

Finn

Who signed us up for this?

Harmony opened the door and gave us a huge grin. “Perfect timing. Presley just got a bath and and she smells extra yummy.”

I knew it was wrong, but I pushed Rory out of the way before she could get to Preston first and take the baby from him.

I heard her laughing behind me as I walked up to my brother.
