floor. Pulling a cotton t-shirt from her drawer, she threw it over her head, pulling her wet hair out from underneath it. “I see that neither you, nor Corey brought me anything back from the bakery. I didn’t realize that you’re a pig, like he is.”
    Charlie scoffed, “Hey, we’re lucky they didn’t ban us from the bakery! Corey was going to throw down right there next to the little old ladies having Sunday coffee! I had to make a sizable donation to the cancer fundraiser next week in order to keep from being shunned from town!”
    Bryn did everything she could to stifle her laughter, failing miserably. The tears had started to roll down her cheeks as she flopped down on the bed, clutching her stomach as giggles took over. “I can’t believe you two nimrods almost got banned from the bakery!”
    “Oh, you think that’s funny do you, kitten?” Charlie flopped onto the bed on his back, pulling her on top of him. She quickly straddled his hips, trying to keep him from rolling them over on the bed. Reaching down, she grabbed his nipple and twisted it until he flinched. “Damn it, Bryn,” he grabbed her both of her wrists in one hand, reaching up with his other hand to tickle her ribs, “is that how it’s gonna be? You wanna fight, do ya?”
    Bryn tried to evade his hand, but he easily overpowered her. Within seconds, he had her flipped onto her back. His touch turned gentle as he ran his fingers up the outside of her bare leg, over her hip, then underneath her t-shirt. He groaned when his fingers reached her lacy bra, brushing her erect nipples.
    “It’s dangerous to tease a lascivious man, Bryn, especially while lying with him on a very large bed,” breathing onto her neck as he traced the vein in her neck with his tongue.
    “Lascivious?” Bryn panted as he continued to suckle on her neck, moving behind her ear.
    “Hot, aroused, horny…pick one, Bryn.” He pulled her shirt over her head, looking at her through hooded eyes, “You’re incredibly sexy, kitten.” Gripping her around her ribcage, he pushed his hands up near her chest, catching the bottom of her bra with his thumbs, pushing the material up and over her breasts. His thumbs brushed her very erect nipples, making a tremor ripple through her body. Bryn moaned when Charlie did it again.
    “Very sensitive nipples…I will have to remember that.” Charlie was lowering his face to her chest when a loud pounding on the door made them both jump.
    “Dude, seriously. We have extremely thin walls and I can hear every fucking thing you say. I’ve got to finish this bookwork before I go into town, and I can’t do it with you two moaning in there. Got it?” Corey was using his Alpha Male voice, making it hard for Bryn not to laugh.
    Charlie mouthed the word ‘busted’ , before he gave her one last kiss, pulling away from her. Grinning, he threw Bryn her t-shirt from off the floor. Bryn watched as he adjusted his very noticeable arousal, sighing as she pulled her bra back down, covering her breasts again. Pulling her t-shirt back over her head, she bounded off the bed, reaching the door in two strides. She yanked open the door, but thankfully Corey wasn’t standing there anymore. Bryn was pretty sure she might deck him for being such a dick.
    Charlie grabbed her arm, pulling her out to the living room to sit on the couch instead. He brought the box of first aid supplies with him. “Okay, let’s fix up your leg and we can head out. We can stop at Torrey’s to pick up a picnic basket lunch and head out for the day. You can’t go swimming in the lake because of your ankle, but bring a swimsuit, so you can lie out at the beach. Bring some jeans along; we’re going to go riding after supper.”

    B ryn lay on a lounge chair, half in the water off the beach of Lake Manitowoc. There was very little she could do near the water without Charlie having a coronary. He didn’t want her lying in the sand, because it could get under her
