Up ahead was the wide iron gate to the Chambers’ land and she took the smaller of the two entrances, made her way along the fence, and thought again about how pretty it was here.
The moon gave everything a supernatural glow. It was almost magical. The tree line was dark and she could see the huge main house standing bright and elegant two hundred yards away with columns along the broad front porch.
Her destination was the converted barn with lights glowing in the second floor windows: Gage’s apartment.
She made her way there steadily, butterflies in her stomach, to the open doors of the lower level that still housed horses.
Taking the stairway in the back, she was quiet as she climbed the steps. There was noise on the second floor and she imagined Gage waiting for her, maybe thinking about her.
Nothing romantic, he didn’t seem the type. Just waiting for her, maybe watching television or…whatever else men did when they were alone.
At the top, there was a rail open to the main living area and sensual music drifted across the space. She didn’t see anyone so she went all the way up.
Rowan heard Gage’s voice and followed the sound to a large open doorway. Everything inside her stilled as she took in the scene.
Nina was naked and riding Gage’s equally naked body with his hands on her hips as he gave her gentle encouragement.
“That feelssogood, Nina…so damn good. Just like that.”
Nina’s blonde hair trailed straight down her golden back, brushing the top of her bare ass. She had a cute butt, small breasts, and a body that was long and lean.
A couple of inches taller than Rowan’s five-six, Nina still seemed moredelicatesomehow. It was a quality that drew boys and men alike to her like bears to honey.
The nervous butterflies that had been foreign to someone like Rowan evaporated in an instant and the lost girl who lived inside her, who helped her survive, came forward to save her dignity.
She said calmly and loudly, “Wow,good form, Nina.”
The couple on the bed jumped like a gun had gone off and turned to her with panic on their faces.
Nina pulled the sheet over her breasts and whispered frantically, “Rowan,pleaselet me explain. Icanexplain.” Nina’s chocolate brown eyes were wide with shock as she stared at her best friend over her shoulder.
With a grim smile, Rowan replied, “No need. I’m pretty sure I get the idea. I’m notthatinnocent, Nina.”
Gage kept his eyes on Rowan as he lifted Nina off his body and set her to the side gently. He stood to face her in all his naked glory. Six-three with a sculpted lean frame, chestnut brown hair, and light hazel eyes, he was a beautiful man, in or out of clothes.
In her most condescending voice, she told him, “Honestly, don’t get up onmyaccount, Gage.”
“Rowan, let me talk to you and explain. I don’t want you feelin’ bad about all this…it’s not what you think.”
His voice was like honey, flavored with the accent of deep Texas and calm from his years of handling skittish cattle.
It was the wrong tone to use on a pissed off Rowan.
“Badfeelings, Gage? There would have tobefeelings first, wouldn’t there? Since youhavenone and mine don’t matter, I don’t think there’s anything to discuss, do you?”
Sliding her gaze slowly down his body, she took in his rapidly deflating dick, though still much more than she’d realized he was packing, and said with a smug smile, “You’re losing your condom, Gage. Funny I’d havethateffect, isn’t it? Sorry to make you waste one but it’s good to know you’re practicing safe sex. Y’all have a good night.”
She turned to go and he grabbed her arm.
“Get your handoff me, Gage. Yougave upyour right to touch me when you pretended to be a man you so obviously are not.”
He dropped his hand as if he’d been slapped.
“Nina, let’s say goodbye now. No need to go on pretending you’re my fucking friend. How you both must havelaughedat my stupidity. Mark my words - you’llneverhave reason or opportunity to laugh at me again.”
Nina had the grace to look ashamed. Were those tears in her eyes?Impressive.
Gage begged softly, “Rowan, we need to talk. If you don’t want to right now, at least let me drive you back. I don’t want you walking the road alone. It’s so late.” He held his hands out in a supplicating gesture, trying to appear harmless.
