Camp Heat (BBW Western Romance) Read Online Free PDF

Jessica sent the girls to their tents without the routine
song-sharing by the fire since it was still raining and increasingly getting
heavier.
               
There was a light tap on Jessica’s cabin screen door and she could see that
Kayla was drenched. She quickly let the teen in and asked her what was wrong.
Kayla looked like she had been crying, but it was hard to tell form all the
water dripping off the girl.
               
“My leg still hurts,” Kayla said, sitting on Jessica’s small bed. She lifted
her jean leg to show that the bruise was just as big as before.
               
“Well,” Jessica started, trying to sound comforting, “it’s not any worse, but
don’t touch it. That’ll make it worse.”
               
Kayla got up and began to sulk her way towards the door before Jessica stopped
her.
               
“Sit for a while,” Jessica said, even though she was slightly irked by not
being able to sleep. “Something else is wrong?”
               
Kayla turned and nodded. “Jovi says I made a big fuss about my leg. And said
I’m a baby.”
               
This didn’t surprise Jessica because Jovi was a bit of a bully and had a
reputation for it. “Don’t listen to her. Anyone who is a bully is a baby
themselves.”
               
Kayla smiled. And, then, there was a cough by the front door. Jessica and Kayla
both startlingly turned simultaneously to see Trenton outside the screen door,
peering through and holding an umbrella. I wonder how long he’s been out
there, listening in. Jessica motioned him in, still upset with his
confusing behavior.
               
“Here,” Trenton said to Kayla as she went outside. He handed her his black
umbrella. “Keep it until tomorrow.” Jessica thought she saw him wink at Kayla,
who returned his smile and took the umbrella.
               
Jessica waited for Kayla to be out of earshot before saying to Trenton, “Now
you don’t have an umbrella to get back.”
               
“I was hoping I wouldn’t go back to the ranch tonight,” he responded, making
slow steps towards Jessica.
               
Jessica crossed her arms. “What do you want?”
               
Trenton shrugged. “I wanted to apologize.”
               
She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Trenton? Apologizing? For what?
               
“You want your shirt back?” Jessica said, trying to avoid what seemed like the
beginnings of a serious conversation.
               
Trenton opened his arms to reveal his drenched white tank and the six-pack that
she could see through it. “Do you really want me to have a shirt?” he asked in
a flirty tone, followed by a sly smile.
               
His smile faded and took Jessica’s hand in both of his. “I can’t lie to you.”
               
Jessica was taken aback by Trenton’s sudden boldness. She knew some cowboys who
acted that way but they usually only wanted one thing. Luckily, Jessica
remembered that she, too, wanted that one thing.
               
“I don’t have a girlfriend,” he said. Jessica pulled her hand away. Now she was
confused and started having more than just physical feelings for him again.
               
“Why are you saying this? Why’d you lie?”
               
“When I saw how much you worried about that girl, I thought ‘this is a woman
who knows priorities and who is caring.’ I heard your conversation with Kayla
just now.” Trenton took back both of Jessica’s hands. “And I was just tryin’ to
rile you up.”
               
“Why?” Jessica thought men became more confusing than women at times.
               
“Because you irritated me. Sayin’ all that stuff as if nothing happened
between us,” he said in a louder, angry tone.
               
“I had to be professional,” was
