get more information.”
“How do we even know that he knows something?”
“Because I heard Wade on the phone with him, remember. It’s both of them I can ruin.”
“I cannot believe you’re trying to pimp me out to your bosses brother.” Lucy laughed. “I know I’m desperate, but I’m not that desperate.” Then she paused. “But just for my own knowledge, is he as hot as Wade?”
“Some might say, he’s even hotter.” I grinned and it was true. Not that I found Henry hotter. I was all into Wade, but I could see that people that preferred a smiling face to a dark angsty one, would very much prefer Henry.
“So what’s the plan with Wade?” Lucy changed the subject and I sat up.
“What do you mean?”
“How do you feel about him now and do you trust him more than before? And did he not tell you anything about why he was in the woods.”
“He keeps saying that he just wanted to go hunting.” I shrugged. “I’m not a hunter, I don’t know how that goes. And no, he’s given me nothing else. And I don’t know if I trust him anymore than I did before.”
“I can see why you’ve fallen for him. There’s something about him.” Lucy looked thoughtful. “He has a commanding presence.”
“Yeah.” I shivered as I thought about the way he’d handcuffed my wrists together. “He likes to be in charge.”
“And from the looks of it, the sex is amazing.”
“You don’t even know. I didn’t even know it could feel like this.” I licked my lips. “It’s crazy, but it feels like more than sex. It really does. It feels like we have a real connection.”
“That’s dangerous, Savannah.” Lucy looked concerned. “I don’t mind if you have sex with him still, that’s your right, but you can’t let your emotions get involved. Not any more than they already have. And if you think you can’t control your feelings, then you need to stop the sex. Immediately.”
“Why are you always right?”
“Because I was born that way.” She laughed. “Do you want to go for a swim? I’ve never had a midnight swim before.”
“Aren’t you tired?” I laughed. “And you do know that it’s not Midnight, right?”
“I know it’s not Midnight, but I also know that tomorrow night I might not be here, so I want to enjoy it while I can.”
“You think we might be gone tomorrow?”
“Savannah, I honestly don’t know. Everything is happening so quickly these days and it’s all so crazy. What if we find out that the flesh in the sink wasn’t that of a deer...” She paused and I frowned.
“What’s that look for?”
“I’m just saying, did you notice that he said it was deer and elk?”
“Yeah, so?”
“So he killed a deer and an elk and we see no hair, no bones, no antlers and barely any meat.”
“Oh.” I swallowed hard as I processed her words. “So then what was it?”
“I don’t know.” She shrugged.
“You think he’s bad, don’t you?”
“I don’t know.” She shook her head. “If I had a really bad feeling we’d be out of here and I certainly wouldn’t have let you sleep with him again. But the more I think about everything, nothing is really adding up.”
“I hate this.” I sighed. “I feel like we still know nothing.”
“I think we know a whole lot more than we think we know.” She played with her fingers and sighed. “We just need to unlock that knowledge.”
“Easier said than done.”
“Yes, it is.” She jumped up. “So can we swim now? Tomorrow our minds will be fresh and we can think more.”
“Sure.” I stood up. “Let’s go to your room and change and then come back out.”
“Do you think that Wade will mind?”
“No.” I shook my head. “I just gave him a massage and a body scrub. I think he’s most probably sleeping.”
“A body scrub?” Lucy raised an eyebrow. “Should I even ask.”
“No.” I blushed, remembering how I’d gone from rubbing him down with my hands to my breasts. I’d never had a bath with a man before and I’d never had sex with a man in the bath before. It had been hot and sexy, but I wasn’t quite ready to tell Lucy how I’d ridden my boss to orgasm as he’d squeezed my breasts and pinched my nipples. There were some things that just needed to remain behind closed doors.

“Lucy, you really didn’t have to help me make dinner. I could have done it by myself.” I opened a packet of cheese and stared at
