it in the back with the drinks. I’d watched some kid bite into one at the counter and a lot of it had wound up on the floor as well as the kid himself.
“I see that,” I said.
“Get a room.” Six pushed past Sin and us, heading in the direction of her cabin where Lynn had disappeared with their luggage.
Sin followed shortly after with his own, leaving the two of us standing there for a few long seconds.
“I don’t really know how to camp,” she murmured softly. “Do you?”
We’d briefly discussed this during the week, but both of us had been so damn busy with work that it’d been rough to get a word in edgewise. Especially when she was on night shifts, and I was on whatever shifts required to catch up with four years’ worth of work.
Doing anything that Lynn needed first meant that I didn’t get my work done until well after normal business hours.
But I found that my work was a lot more fulfilling knowing that I had a purpose when it came to what I did with Lynn.
Helping people had always been my goal when I’d set out to fix the world.
“Let’s go,” she said as she climbed up on the tire and pulled out the air mattress that we’d ordered off of Amazon and hadn’t bothered to take out of the box yet.
I allowed her to get that while I got the large tub filled with whatever Wyett had thought we would need.
Turned out, when I opened it in the small but clean cabin, it was sheets, toiletries, food and everything else she thought we would need for the weekend.
Including lube.
I grinned wickedly. “What’s this?”
She grinned back. “Not for what you think, I promise.”
I didn’t know what it was she had it for, but I was definitely curious to find out.

My curiosity was appeased an hour later when I walked down to the water’s edge and stared in surprise.
“It’s a slip and slide.”
Wyett’s excited words had me turning to her.
Only, when I turned it was to find her running down the hill, the bottle of lube in her hands as she shook it at Six like a trophy.
“I got the lube!”
Those four words had all of the men around the campsite snapping their heads up.
Even Bruno, the resident asshole and quiet man, looked up from his chair at the edge of the lake.
The lake went down a large hill, then all but sheared off into the water.
There was a rather large dock, steps leading from the dock, and not much else but leafy green trees and water for miles.
“Score!” Six clapped, turning to the large black mat that was on the ground by her feet. “We’re gonna need it since the water hose has like, zero pressure.”
They’d run a water hose from the campsite nearest, which happened to be ours, and then allowed it to slowly trickle down the length of the black tarp-like thing.
When Wyett arrived with the bottle, she uncapped it and slowly started to pour it down the length of the makeshift slip and slide until she reached the water’s edge. Then she turned around and repeated the process until the entire bottle was empty.
“Ummm,” Sin said as he watched Six and Wyett. “This looks like it’s going to be dangerous.”
“It might,” Zach said. “I haven’t been on a slip and slide in a long time. But what I do remember are grass burns, broken fingers from going head first, and bruises on the front of my body from running and sliding.”
“I remember just having a whole lot of fucking fun,” Swayze murmured. “I can’t run anymore like I used to, though.”
In between an injury when she was younger, and a broken leg more recently that she was still sporting a boot that kept her lower leg immobile for, I wouldn’t imagine so.
“You can sit this one out,” Trick suggested. “Maybe take some photos for your own personal enjoyment.”
Trick ripped his shirt off and then started on his jeans.
“Hope you have swim trunks under there,” she murmured softly.
I heard a belt clink on my other side and saw Sin doing much the same.
“Nope,” Trick said. “Didn’t think to pack any swim trunks.” He handed his beer off to Swayze. “Hold this so I don’t spill it.”
He’d managed not to spill it at the removal of his shirt, but apparently the pants were another story.
Swayze took it and watched with hungry eyes as her man undressed. Then handed it back
