“Thank God. This is the most uncomfortable backseat I’ve ever been in.” Sherry put her MP3 player back in her overstuffed bag.

“Oh, it’s not that bad, Sherry,” Janine teased.

Soon, they stopped in front of a small log cabin. Sherry tried to hide her shock at the rinky-dink, rustic cabin, which undoubtedly would lack modern amenities.

Janine laughed. “It’s very nice inside.” She opened her door after Raze stopped the car, got out and opened Sherry’s door. “Come on.”

Janine opened the back door on the Jeep and started to get their bags out, but Raze came around and tugged her hand away before she could pick anything up.

“I’ll get everything. Why don’t you go show your little sis around?” Raze bent and kissed Janine on the cheek.

“Are you sure?” Janine batted her lashes at Raze and stood on tiptoe to place her mouth against his.

His arms came around her and his mouth came down on hers hard in a deep kiss that made Sherry blush. When Janine moaned, Sherry cleared her throat and Raze reluctantly broke the kiss.

“Yeah. You can show me how grateful you are later,” he whispered.

“Yuck! There is someone else here who, by the way, does not want to watch you two slobber all over each other.” Sherry gave her sternest look, and kept the giggle threatening to spring from her throat at bay.

“Okay, okay.” Janine raised her hands in surrender and led the way to the cabin, but not before giving Raze one last sultry glance.

Good God. If looks could be rated, the one Raze gave back to Janine would be rated X—no, XXX. Sherry could swear his eyes had actually glowed with raw desire. While it was pretty gross witnessing the exchange between him and her sister, she had to admit, she wouldn’t mind in the least if a man looked at her with such raw intensity.

She was pretty surprised when Janine showed her the cabin. It was way more modern than she’d ever thought it would be, and it was clean.

Unfortunately, there was only one bedroom. She had no doubt she’d be riding the couch this weekend, which she didn’t mind all that much as she didn’t want to accidentally witness anything intimate that her sister and Raze might be doing on this trip. Thankfully, there was a brand new sofa that folded out into a bed in the living room.

“We wanted to make sure you had some place comfortable to sleep.

When you finally agreed to come, we ordered the new fold out just for you.”

Janine proceeded to unfold the couch, lay across it, and sigh as if to demonstrate its softness.

“Thank you. I appreciate it because if you had made me sleep on the floor, I might have hurt you.” Sherry laughed.

Janine got off the sofa, and she helped her fold it back up.

“No. Thank you for coming. I know it isn’t your thing, but it really means a lot. I know you only did it for me.” Janine hugged her.

“Just don’t expect me to come out here again anytime soon.” She hugged her sister back.

“Promise me that you will give it a fair chance?” Janine pulled away a bit, her blue eyes pleading.

Sherry sighed in defeat. How could she deny her sister such a simple request? She squared her shoulders in resignation.

“I promise.” If this was all it took to make her sister happy, she’d give it an honest effort. Although, she was pretty certain she wouldn’t be any more impressed with nature than she already was—maybe more unimpressed.

Raze walked through the front door carrying all of their bags with what appeared to be little effort. Sherry was impressed as she had trouble carrying her own. He certainly wasn’t lacking in muscles.

“I think that’s everything.” He let Sherry’s bags drop to the floor by the sofa and carried the rest down the hallway.

“Why don’t you get settled, and I’ll figure out what’s for dinner?” Janine went to the small kitchen and started rummaging in the fridge and cabinets pulling things out here and there.

“I’m not really hungry. I think I’ll take a look around if you don’t mind.”

Sherry unzipped one of the bags at her feet and started pulling out her clothes.

“I don’t know, Sherry.” Raze came back into the room before Janine finished what she’d been about to say. “Maybe you should wait until one of us can come with you.”

“I promise I will not go far.” Sherry laughed. “I’m just going to walk around the cabin. I’ll stay close. Believe me, I will not venture into the woods.” She yanked her tennis shoes free from where they were wedged in the bag. I definitely will not go into the woods.

She didn’t like bugs or spiders or snakes or any other creepy crawly thing, and she was pretty sure the woods held plenty of them. She shivered.

“I’m warning you. If I see one spider in here, I’m sleeping in the Jeep.”

She gave the floor and walls a quick look, but didn’t even see one cobweb.

“Why don’t you go with her, Raze?” Janine chewed her bottom lip, a sure sign that she was worried about something.

“Are you afraid I’m going to fall down a well or something?” Sherry giggled. “We should have brought Lassie. What’s that? Sherry’s in the well, Lassie?”

“She’ll be all right, babe. I’ll keep an eye on her.” Janine smiled as Raze wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.

When Janine sighed in obvious relief, Sherry frowned.

“Gee, you are starting to scare me. Is there a monster loose in the woods or something?”

“Um, not exactly.” Janine’s eyes widened for a second.

“I’m not going to go far. I still have my favorite dress on, and I don’t plan to get it dirty.” Sherry toed her flip-flops off, slipped her sneakers on, and stood.

“Go on, Sherry. I’ll be out
