vehicle in gear.”
    Mick glanced toward the house and saw the Reverend standing at the front door, Adam and Seth right behind him. He picked Faith up, sliding her over to the passenger seat before shutting his door. “Buckle up,” he said. “It might get bumpy.”

    “Do you even know where you’re going?”
    “No, but it looks quiet and there isn’t a Weston in sight.” He glanced over at her and grinned. “Well, other than you.”
    They’d been driving for over an hour, barely escaping Adam in town before heading out of Barton and toward the loneliest stretch of road he could find. He’d picked the right one, apparently. A dusty, abandoned farmhouse, dried up fields, and a fallen down barn were the only thing they’d seen. Well, other than this little piece of paradise, he thought, as he slowed down and pulled off the side of the road. There wasn’t a house for miles and for the first time since arriving in this hovel of a town, they were finally alone.
    Faith grinned as he killed the engine before opening her door and sliding out of the SUV. Mick watched her walk toward the pond, smiling as she kicked off her shoes and waded into the water. The pond was nestled between large shade trees and surrounded by waist high grass. The sun glistened on one corner of it, the rest hidden in shadow. Dragonflies hovered in the air above the water and tiny ripples scattered across the surface.
    “Are you just goin’ to sit there all day?”
    He focused his gaze on Faith and smiled before getting out of the SUV and walking toward the pond. “I was just enjoying the view,” he said, stopping when he reached her.
    “The view looks better up close.” She grinned and grabbed the hem of her shirt, lifting it over her head and tossing it to the ground. “Ever been skinny dippin’, city boy?”
    His cock twitched at her words, all the blood in his brain rushing south as she squirmed out of her cut-off shorts. Her plain cotton panties and white bra gleamed bright in the sun and he watched with baited breath as she slowly peeled the material from her body. She now stood completely naked before him and he didn’t think he’d ever seen anything so beautiful in his life.
    “Well, are you just going to gawk or join me?”
    “Gawk,” he said.
    “Suit yourself.” She turned, her heart-shaped ass wiggling delightfully as she ran toward the water, splashing into the shallow end with a tiny squeal of “shit it’s cold” before diving in. When she emerged and turned to look at him, raising a hand before beckoning him to her with the crook of one finger, he reached for his shirt and pulled it over his head. When his bare feet hit the water moments later, he gasped at the temperature as she grinned and swam away from him.
    He waded in to his knees and stopped as goose bumps pimpled his skin. “How in the hell do you swim in water this damn cold?”
    “Don’t be such a baby, Mick.”
    “I’m not being a baby,” he said. “This feels like ice water.”
    She giggled and raised one eyebrow at him. “I can tell,” she said, nodding to him with her head.
    He glanced down. The frigid water caused his dick to nearly disappear. Her giggles only made it worse. He looked back up at her, watching her bob in and out of the water and knew he had to do something and standing there while she watched him shrivel up to only a nub wasn’t it. He sucked in a breath and dove in, screaming as he came back up. “Fuck!” He took several sharp breaths, swimming toward her before stopping. “I can’t feel anything from the neck down.”
    “Come here,” she said, laughing. “I’ll warm you up.”
    They met in the middle of the pond, her arms wrapping around his neck, her legs circling his hips. Her body was as cold as his was but just the feel of her naked limbs around him was enough for his circulation to start working properly again. Of course, all his blood was traveling south. She gave him a
