Calli puckers her lips, but it seems like a teasing expression.
I decide to take pity on the pair of them and change the subject. "Where's Gavin?"
"He's staying in the hunting cabin out in the woods," Calli tells me. "We'll see him again at lunch."
I sag against the sofa. No Gavin until lunch? I want to chat to him and... I don't know. Well, if I'm completely honest with myself, I want to beg him to shag me. I've never been the sort of lass who engages in casual sex, though. Something about Gavin makes me want to do all manner of wild things.
We could shag in that hunting cabin.
Bloody hell. What is wrong with me?
Since Aidan and Calli clearly need a bit of time alone to discuss things, I take a shower in the guest bedroom. Washing off all that travel grime feels wonderful, especially since the guest bathroom includes lovely little scented soaps and soft shower poufs.
I do see Gavin at lunch, though Aidan insists that I sit beside him at the table while Gavin and Calli sit on the opposite side. Neither man wants his sister to be within touching distance of the other. Our conversations revolve around boring things like the weather, the scenery, and the tourist destinations in the area. I would love to explore the Keweenaw Peninsula, which I've just learned is the name of this part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. And I now know all about the copper mining that used to take place in this region, beginning in ancient times and then starting up again thousands of years later in the eighteen hundreds.
I want to chat to Gavin alone. When Calli gives me a tight smile, I'm dead sure that she wants to be alone with Aidan too.
Calli gets what she wants when Aidan takes her into the master bedroom. They both seem tired, just like I am and Gavin must be too.
Gavin simply walks out the back door and disappears into the woods, carrying a large, battery-operated torch.
While I'm lying in bed, trying to sleep, I keep fantasizing about sneaking into that wee cabin so I can crawl under the covers and lick my way down his chest, lower and lower, until I reach his cock. Those fantasies make me so randy that I need to fannadh, but touching myself isn't as fulfilling as shagging Gavin would be. With a body like his, he could drive me to the heights of ecstasy. No man has ever done that for me. The laddies I've dated just wanted a quick poke, then they either left or rolled over and fell asleep.
Somehow, I know Gavin wouldn't be like that.
In the evening, we're all jeeked. It's been an exhausting but wonderful day, getting to know Calli and especially Gavin. He has a wry sense of humor that I love, and every time he looks at me, I feel like he wants to kiss me. I want that, for sure. Being this attracted to a man I met this morning seems irrational, but I dinnae care.
A big yawn splits my mouth open. Time for bed, alone.
I amble down the hallway and pop my head through the open doorway to Calli and Aidan's room, wishing them a good night. Then I shuffle into my room, shut the door, and collapse onto the bed. I almost forget to change into my pajamas, but quickly realize I don't want to sleep while fully clothed. The moment I've curled up under the covers, I fall asleep.
When I wake in the morning, I feel more refreshed than I have in ages. Maybe it's the clean Michigan air doing that to me. Dinnae care what the reason is. All right, maybe I do have a clue why I feel this way. The word starts with a G and ends with "avin."
I wander out of my room, heading for the kitchen. Maybe I'll cook breakfast for Calli and Aidan, to show my appreciation for the way they've handled my attraction to Gavin. Aidan clearly wanted to tell me to go home right away, but he didn't do it. He understands that I'm a grown woman and not a bloody eejit.
Something crackles under my foot just as I've reached the bar. It's a scrap of crumpled paper that was ripped from a larger sheet, but there's nothing on it. I bend over to pick it up.
"Good morning, Jamie. Thanks for the fantastic wake-up call."
The sound of Gavin's voice makes every hair on my body stand up. A thrill rushes through me, and I spin round to smile at him. "I didn't give you a wake-up call, since I had no idea you were here."
"Oh, you woke me up for damn sure." He skims his gaze over my body, clearly noting my pajamas that consist of short-shorts and a skimpy top that has spaghetti straps. My nipples are jutting too, thanks to the way his sexy voice affects me. Gavin licks his lips, then veers his attention to my face. "That's a view any man would love to see first thing in the morning."
When I had bent over, did he get a glimpse of my cleavage? Part of me hopes he got a full view of my tits. But it isn't fair. I haven't glimpsed any naughty bits of him.
I toss the paper into the rubbish bin and wave toward the kitchen. "I was just about to make breakfast for all of us."
He eyes me up and down again. "Would you like to go for a walk first? Our keepers aren't up yet."
"A walk would be lovely."
Gavin gives me a sensual smile and winks. "Might want to get dressed first. It's mating season out there, and your PJs would draw in all the horny bucks."
"I thought deer rutted in the fall. It's still summer."
He chuckles. "I'm sure you could make every male of every species as horny as hell. You've sure done that to me."
I can't believe we're discussing the rutting habits of animals. But oddly, I am getting randy. "Wait here while I get dressed. Then we'll go for a walk."
