Jake’s in trouble, huh?” Charlie asked as she came down the porch steps.
    “No, honey, your dad just wants to talk to him. Let’s get going.” Because she planned on being long gone by the time Beau was done confronting Jake.

Chapter Three
     
Blue lights flashed, and the siren blared as Jake’s black truck tore down the driveway mindless of the dirt and gravel he was spraying behind him. Jessie looked over at Sam , who just shrugged and lumbered her pregnant body to her feet. Jessie wasn’t that big yet, but her time was coming.
    “Should we at least go see what she’s done this time?” Jessie pushed herself up out of the rocking chair.
    “No. She’s just beginning to forgive us. I think we should stay out of it this time,” Sam said, though she walked over to the edge of the porch, which gave them a clear view of the garage Jake was now striding toward.
    “I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look so angry.” Sam was right , and Jessie felt a moment of that mother - hen instinct, but pushed it away knowing Bobbie had to live her own life and none of them should stand in her way.
    “Damn it , Bobbie , you have to listen to me!” Jake’s shout carried all the way to them.
    “Anything you have to say should be said to Kerri, because the only thing I have to say to you is fuck off.” Jessie cringed, but Jake had brought this on himself and deserved the hell Bobbie was about to give him, even more in her opinion.
    “Son of a bitch. I don’t have time to fight with you.” His tone got deeper and louder each time he spoke.
    “Then you shouldn’t have come. Now go away!”
    “I’m not leaving here until we ta—”
    “Watch out!” Bobbie yelled as she came barreling around the side of the house up the stairs onto the porch, flying into the house.

    She was quick . H e’d give her that. Jake was only a few feet behind her , dripping wet and covered with suds. He stuck his foot in the doorway, but that didn’t stop Bobbie from trying to slam it.
    “Little girl , you are in big trouble now.”
    “Jessie, are you going to let him threaten me like that?” Bobbie stomped on his foot and tried to peel his fingers off the door.
    Jake looked over his shoulder at Jessie , who nodded as she rubbed her slightly rounded belly. “Yup. We’re staying out of you r love life just like you told us to.”
    “Your sisters are obviously smarter than you. Now open the door and take your punishment like a woman.” He gave the door a shove , adding his shoulder to his leg.
    “Ooh, are you finally man enough to give it to me?” s he taunted and he heard her sisters gasp behind him.
    He leaned in so close only she could hear him. “Darlin’ , from here on out you can count on it.”
    “I told you, you’re too late. I’m done playing games with you. Just go away.” Her eyes filled with tears, but the conviction in her voice was what really bothered him.
    “Don’t think you’re going to sway me with tears. This is important.” He kept trying to wedge his body into the gap , and somehow she found the strength to fight him.
    “Damn it, Jake , I’m not talking to you.” Bobbie’s voice held a steeliness he’d never heard before , and it had the strangest effect on him.
    It was like she flicked the one switch she hadn’t touched until now , t he one thing that had been keeping him from acting on the carnal urges she constantly brought on. Damn. The little wench would have to be the only one who could make him want her so badly he actually ached for her touch .
    “That’s fine with me. You don’t need to talk. I just need for you to listen.” His retort was just as harsh as hers and he saw the flash in her eyes that should have been a warning.
    “After what you did, I never have to listen to you again. If I’ve broken the law in some way , send that cute new deputy of yours out to talk to me. Otherwise , get of f my property before I call him myself.”
    “You may live here but it ’
