Bailey looked at me as if I’d lost my mind. “That was a freaking rat.”
I freaked and gave another tremor of eww, before grabbing my boxer shorts. “Okay, that’s just wrong. It ran across my fucking bare ass.”
Bailey watched me yank on my clothes a second longer before she burst out laughing, not in a hurry at all to dress herself.
I scowled. “Creepy little pervert.”
She only howled harder, grabbing her stomach and rolling across the blanket until Creepy Pervert’s little friend sprang up from a piece of hay beside her and scampered across the blanket right next to her, chasing after Creepy Pervert Number One.
Suddenly, she was screaming and as freaked out as I was, grabbing her panties and yanking them on.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought,” I taunted, pulling on my jeans and zipping them up.
“I feel so violated.” She hiked up her pants and gave a full body shiver. “I bet the little voyeurs watched us the whole time too, the sickos.”
With a grin, I winked. “At least they didn’t take a video.”
“Ohhhh….” Shock filled her face when she realized I’d just made a dig at her. “You bastard.” Grabbing the condom box, she flung it at me. “That was low.”
I laughed, rebuffing the blow with my arm. “Oh, come on. It was a little funny.”
“You just compared me to a pair of peeping-tom rats!”
Okay, maybe it wasn’t so funny. I winced and paused before putting my overcoat on to kneel beseechingly in front of her. Taking her hands, I said, “I’m sorry. Honestly, I will be forever grateful you watched me that night.”
Her scowl dropped, but she didn’t appear completely swayed, so I kissed her hands and continued, “After that night with Melody, I thought being with her had been the biggest mistake of my life. But if I had it all to do over again, I would in a heartbeat. Up until this very moment, that’s the way I saw it.”
Her eyebrows puckered, showing her confusion. “So you don’t regret sleeping with her anymore?”
“Oh no. I still totally regret it,” I corrected. “Just thinking about it makes me want to scrub my dick clean with some turpentine and a wire brush. But no matter how awful and traumatizing it was, I’d go through it all over again. Because it ended me right here with you. We never would’ve spoken again after that night, or seen each other, or hell, probably thought of each other if it wasn’t for what she did. And that’s why I’d bear it over and over again no matter how many times I was given a repeat. Because I’m here with you. So, honestly, I love and appreciate your voyeuristic ways.”
She smiled and touched my cheek. “Okay, I forgive you.” But then she gripped my arm and hauled me too my feet with her. “But still…rats just watched me have sex. That’s creepy. I want to take a shower now.”
I laughed. “Yeah. Rodent paws just groped my ass. I’m right there with you.”
So, as I bent to retrieve the space heater, she scooped up the blanket and condoms. Then we hurried from the barn and made our way to the house, where no one was home but us.

Shower sex wasn’t quite what it was cracked up to be. The water proved to be less of a lubricant and more of a resistant. It was hard to prop a sexy wet, slippery woman against a cold wet, slippery wall, and equally impossible to get a good hold on anything to provide a nice hearty thrust.
Oh, but we still got the job done, of course. No worries there. We just laughed more and moaned less, I probably bruised my elbow by smacking it against the shower wall, and Bailey stubbed her toe, but I did make her come again. She said it didn’t count as number four because we’d put our clothes back on and changed locations, but I totally counted it.
I was the O-champion. The winner! Not that any of the other guys even realized they’d been in the competition, but still…
I ruled.
I definitely felt like I was on top of the world when I glanced over at Bailey and watched her sleep heavily, passed out on her stomach in her bed with her cheek nestled deep in her pillow. Yeah, I was definitely the champion.
She was so precious and full of life. I’d had no idea someone could come to mean so much to me.
I touched her naked back before drawing the blanket up further to warm her.
Just as I removed my hand, my cell phone rang from my pocket. People called me so rarely it was a little startling to hear. Only Bailey or her dad rang me these days.
Wondering if it was Ben, I fished it from my pocket to stop the sound from waking Bailey.
I didn’t recognize the number, but went ahead and answered to quiet it.
