Sea Breeze 03 While It Lasts by Abbi Glines Read Free Book Online

pesky female who wouldn’t go away .
                  I stepped out of my jeans and pulled back the covers so I could crawl in my bed . The sheets weren’t bad. I had expected cheap sheets since this was a barn but they were nice. Soft. I closed my eyes and let myself imagine Eva putting the sheets on the bed for me .  Her hands would be soft or maybe she’d have calluses. She did all the house work and she cooked. Wait. I hadn’t seen a mom yet.  Eva had been the only woman I’d seen in that house. Had her mom died? Or just skipped out on her? Her dad loved her. That was obvious.
                  My phone r ang and I reached for it. Low’s number once again lit up the screen.
                  “ Hey , my favorite girl,” I said by way of a greeting.
                  “Hey, how are things?” Low replied. I could hear the smile in her voice.
                  “Hot and the c ows are scari er than I imagined but my tiny bed has some really nice sheets.”
                  “What about the girl?”
                  Leave it to Low not to beat around the bush. “ I’m pretty sure she hates me now more than she did when she first met me .”
                  “Why? What have you done to her?”
                  “I haven’t done a damn thing to her. I did threaten her fiancé and rough him up a bit. Nothing serious. But the douche was talking about another girl’s tits in front of Eva. It was disrespectful.”
                  Low was silent a minute. I knew she was processing this and trying to figure out how to fix my problem.
                  “So, she’s engaged?” was her response.
                  “Yeah, she is and the guy isn’t a good match for her. I like him but they just don’t fit, you know?”
                  “Hmmm… I guess. But they’re engaged, Cage. That makes her off limits. “
                  I could hear the concern in her voice. “I wasn’t goi ng to go there anyway, Low. She’ s off limits for many reasons. For starters , her dad would fire me on the spot and I’d lose my scholarship.”
                  “Okay. Well, I miss you.  I’m going to be there bright and early Sunday morning to get you. Marcus is going to give us time alone for the first part of the day. Then I’ll drop you at your apartment and let you catch up with everyone. Marcus will have to drive you back that evenin g though because we’re keeping Larissa this weekend and I’ll have been away from her most of that day. Besides, as much as Marcus loves Larissa, he’ ll need a break from her.”
                  “Thanks, Low. I look forward to seeing you.  Only four more days to go before my reprieve from hell.”
                  She laughed and we said our goodbyes.

                  Two days later. No sign of Becca Lynn and very few glimpses of Eva. The heat was getting worse and Jeremy wasn’t around to help anymore. He was back at his farm working and I was left to figure the rest out on my own.
                  A cold thermos of water magically stayed full and a n icy cold towel appeared a couple times a day. They alw ays showed up on the tailgate of the farm truck I used during the day. My back was always turned or I’d gone off to piss. Was she watching me from inside? How did she know when my back was turned? D amned if the idea of her watching me from inside didn’t make me smile . 
                  I pulled my sweat- soaked shirt over my head and threw it in the back of the truck. Squirting some of the cold water over my chest and down my back, I tried to keep the smirk off my face. If she was watching I was giving her a
