“Thanks, Kristin.”
She nodded and squeezed my hand. Then she looked past me and frowned. “That jerk came anyway!”
When she stormed down out of the door and toward my car, I shut the door to the cabin and walked over to Hollie.
I bent down in front of her. “Hey.”
She turned and looked at me, and my breath caught in my throat. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying.
My heart felt like it had twisted in my chest. “Hollie, baby.”
I placed my hand on the side of her face, and she leaned into my touch. “I know, I shouldn’t have run. I was so stunned and hurt. I didn’t know what else to do. Seeing you with her like that, it…”
I placed my finger to her lips to silence her. “I know and I’m so sorry. I had no idea she had, she had…filmed us at any time—you need to know that. I would never do anything like that.”
Hollie nodded. “I know you wouldn’t.”
Pulling her down onto my lap I sat on the floor. “I need you to know, Hollie, that it meant nothing. It was just sex with Wendy. That’s all. I’ve never had feelings for her, and that video was clearly taken a long time ago.”
Hollie nodded and sniffled. “I know that too. I have to be honest with you, Lucas. I want to cast a spell on that bitch.”
I fought to hold back a smile. “Well, considering you simply hoped she would get a rash, and she did, I would hate to think of what you could do when you’re this upset.”
An evil smile grew on her beautiful face. “Just one little hex. I really do need the practice.”
“Hollie,” I warned.
With a roll of her eyes, she sighed and leaned her forehead against mine. “I think the best revenge is to not let her know it got to me even though I totally acted like a child and ran from you. An adult would have stayed and talked about it.”
“I agree on the revenge part.” I kissed her forehead and added, “I hate to say this, but I don’t think this will be the last we hear of Wendy.”
Hollie drew back and locked her gaze with mine. “Because she’s obsessed with you?”
I flinched. “Something like that.”
“Fine, I’m going to let this one go, but so help me, Lucas, if she does another stunt like this, I’m going full-on bat-witch crazy on her ass.”
Laughing, I slid my hand around her neck and brought her lips to mine, kissing her softly at first. Soon, our kiss turned deeper. Hollie pulled back and drew in a breath of air. “We better stop or Kristin might walk in on something she doesn’t want to see. I think I might have scared her by showing her the video. She did say you have a really nice ass, though, which I agreed with.”
My eyes closed and I slowly shook my head. “Can we please delete it?”
“Oh, I did—the second Kristin said that.”
The door to the cabin flew open, causing Hollie and me to both turn and see Kristin marching in, Shawn hot on her trail.
“You are the biggest asshole I’ve ever met!”
“And you’re the biggest bitch!”
Kristin gasped. “Did you just call me fat?”
Shawn stepped back as if Kristin just slapped him. “What? How in the hell did you get that out of me calling you a bitch?”
With her hands now firmly on her hips, Kristin replied, “You said, ‘biggest.’”
Shawn groaned as he rolled his eyes.
“Oh, dear,” Hollie softly said as I helped her up.
“I’m sorry, you got that out of me calling you a bitch?” Shawn asked, confused.
“So, you admit, you think I’m fat.”
“What’s happening?” I whispered as I leaned in toward Hollie. I did a double-take when I saw her smiling at Kristin and Shawn. “I don’t like that look on your face, Hollie.”
Turning, she winked. “What look?”
Then, spinning back to face the two other people in the room who had clearly lost their minds, she walked toward them, all thoughts of Wendy and the video seeming to have vanished from her thoughts.
“Well, well, well. What is going on here?”
When Kristin and Shawn both turned and looked at Hollie, Kristin narrowed her eyes and pointed.
“Oh, no. No, no, no, Hollie Craft. Don’t even think it!”
Shawn threw his hands up in the air, clearly just as confused as me. “What in the living hell is going on here?”
Hollie wore a shit-eating grin on her face.
“Hollie, don’t even think about it.”
“Wait,” Shawn said as he waved his hands around. “Are we all still upset about Wendy and the video that shall never be discussed, or is this because I called Kristin fat?”
I closed my eyes. Oh, Shawn, you stupid bastard.
Kristin gasped.
“No, wait, wait, wait! I didn’t call her fat, but she thinks I called her fat, so are you giving me that weird look because of that? Because I didn’t call you fat!” Shawn yelled as he pointed to Kristin. “You have one of the hottest bodies I’ve ever seen!”
