kitchen and started prepping the bread. When they came in a little over an hour later, she had everything ready for them. “Stop right there, and take those dirty boots off before you track it all over the house.” The men stared down guiltily at their dirt-crusted boots and stepped out of them before continuing to the washroom to clean up. She smiled and set the table while they washed their hands. Once they had finished lunch, it was decided that the men would switch places and Steven would plow during the afternoon. She wondered what Greg was going to do. He announced that he planned to take a shower and clean up. “Want to take another one with me and scrub my back, baby?” “I think I’ve had enough showers for the day. You go right ahead and get cleaned up. I’m going to read for a while, I think.” She backed away from him as he advanced on her. “How about a kiss before I go shower?” “Not on your life. You got your kiss earlier.” He took another two steps toward her. She backed up then turned and ran to the living room. He chased after her but only halfheartedly. She easily escaped him and circled around the couch. He feigned left but went right. She managed to escape him by a thread. She laughed and ran back into the kitchen to put the table between them this time. “Okay, okay. I am going to take my shower now. I’ll be back down in a few minutes.” Greg turned and headed for the stairs. Janet didn’t trust him and remained where she was until she heard the shower cut on above. She grinned. He had a playful streak in him she hadn’t expected. Earlier had been a small glimpse. She found her book and curled up on the couch to read. Thirty minutes later, a much cleaner Greg bounded down the stairs to the living room. He looked like a Greek god with his hair still wet and his chest bare. She couldn’t help but stare at him. He smiled, catching her ogling him. “Come sit in my lap while you read, baby. I want to hold you.” She started to say no and go back to reading, but she really wanted to and wasn’t one to deny herself when she really wanted something. Besides, he hadn’t said it in a demanding voice. He sounded like he really wanted to hold her. Janet unfolded her legs and got up from the couch to follow him over to one of the recliners. He sat down and pulled her down on his lap before he reclined the chair. She settled against his chest but found that she couldn’t read in that position. She closed her book and relaxed. He held her in his arms and rubbed his hands up and down her body. Before long, she was having trouble keeping her eyes open and soon nodded off to sleep. The sensation of movement roused her from a light sleep. She opened her eyes and found that Greg was carrying her upstairs. She gasped and grabbed hold of him. “Easy, Janet. I won’t drop you.” “Sorry, it just startled me to wake up like this.” “Just hold on and don’t move. We’re almost there.” She closed her eyes again and let him carry her to the bedroom where he carefully laid her on the bed. She opened her eyes when the bed dipped. He was removing his shoes. Then he stood up and pulled off his jeans. He was gloriously nude under them. She couldn’t help but stare at his amazing body. “Let’s get your clothes off, baby. I want to take a nap, and having you naked next to me is a dream come true.” He kissed her on the nose and began to undress her. She was so taken aback by his admission that she didn’t fight him on removing her clothes. Instead, she helped him and was soon as naked as he was. They climbed beneath the covers and Greg pulled her over on top of him. She rested her head on his shoulder and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Janet woke slowly to the feel of a tongue at her breast. She yawned and stretched with a little squeak. When teeth closed over her nipple and bit down just a little, her squeak turned into an ow ! “’Bout time you woke up,
