didn’t I? One for each of you.”
    Ah, so she was admitting to thinking about me too. I liked that .
    “Really. Well , thank you. I was under the impression you wouldn’t spit on me if I was on fire.”
    Jeremy’s amused response was a low chuckle that was beginning to get on my nerves. He did that a lot.
    “As long as you do the work that Daddy has for you and you work hard then I will be more than happy to supply you water and cold towels.”
    H er responses were all so matter-of -f act. Did she ever get passionate or emotional about anything? It would be a damn shame if she was that cool and controlled during sex. Something in her eyes told me she was holding back. There was something I was missing.
    She lifted her hand to tuck a stray lock behind her ear and I saw the twinkle of a small diamond that sat securely on her left hand. I stared at it as understanding slowly began to sink in.
    Eva was engaged .
    Words left me. The world tilted a little off center. I jerked my gaze off the ring to Jeremy who was watching me closely. Jeremy was her fucking fiancé?

    “Here ya go,” Becca Lynn said as she held ou t a can of Bud l ight to me . I took it fr om her outstretched hand and opened it taking a very long swallow. I had to get my head on straight. I hadn’t been expecting this. Jeremy and Eva dating was crazy enough but engaged ? How the hell did that happen?
    “Want to go swimming?” Becca asked sweetly. I needed to remember I was here with her. I needed to focus on anything other than that diamond ring on Eva’s hand.
    “Sure,” I managed to reply.
    “ Becca , don’t do that. ” Eva’s obvious disapproval surprised me. What the hell was wrong with swimming? Was she against that too?
    “Why not?” she chirped as she began pulling her tank top over her head. WHOA .
    “Then at least go strip in the shadows and not right here in front of everyone. Especially Jeremy . You’ ll make him uncomfortable.”
    Strip? Were we going skinny- dipping?
    “It ain’t like Jere my hasn’t seen me naked, Eva.”
    What?
    “Ugh, just go undress away from us,” Eva replied.
    “I wasn’t exactly complaining. Be cca Lynn has some nice knockers, ” Jeremy piped in.
    It came out of nowhere. I suddenly saw red.
    I reached over to grab Jeremy by the collar and lifted him off his feet. “ Apologize, now you stupid fucker. ”
    Jeremy’s wide- eyed expression told me I’d scared the shit out of him but I didn’t care. He was engaged. To Eva . What the hell was he looking at other girls’ tits for and talking about how nice they were in front of her? Asshole.
    “I’m sorry Becca ,” he croa ked out.
    “Not her you idiot! Eva! Apologize. To. Eva.”
    Why the hell did he look confused? Was he a moron?
    “Uh, sorry Eva. I didn’t mean to uh, say that,” h e stammered nervously.
    I felt a hand on my arm tugging at me but the blood pounding in my ears wa s drowning out everything else. I turned my angry glare off Jeremy to see Eva’s horrified expression as she screamed and pulled on my arm.
    Focusing on her words I took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down
    “STOP IT! STOP IT NOW! CAGE.”
    Slowly , I let Jeremy down and watched as Eva shoved me back and went to fuss over Jeremy like she was his damn mo mma .
    “Are you okay? He’s insane. What was Uncle Mack thinking sending him here ? I’m so sorry, Jer.”
    Jeremy shook his head and gently pushed her hands away. “Eva , I’m fine. He didn’t hurt me. He was just offended by my comment and apparently thought you would be too.”
    Well , hell yeah. Low would have killed Marcus with her bare hands had he said something like that about another woman. Eva was not reacting properly. She was mad at me. Me. Not Jeremy.
    “Because he’s insane. He’s a drunk and he’s had too much to drink.”
    That was it, “Excuse me Mother Teresa but this is my first damn beer in three days and I’ve only had half of it. This is not what constitutes a drunk. “
    She
