Chapter 13
Griz woke to the sound of the shower running. They’d had sex twice more last night, and he woke with another hard-on. He should just jerk one out in the shower. Elowen would probably get tired of him sticking his dick into her all day.
He got up and headed into the bathroom just as Elowen finished with her shower. She wrapped the towel around her after she dried her back.
“Good morning,” she said then moved out of the bathroom.
“Morning,” he grunted before she shut the door. He took care of business and then stepped into the shower. He knew he needed to spend time with his buddies. They were going fishing this morning, and he half wanted to beg off and tell the guys he wanted to spend time with Elowen.
“Hey,” Elowen called through the door when he shut off the shower.
“Yeah?” He pulled open the door, seeing her in shorts and a T-shirt.
“The women want me to do yoga with them. I need to be there at nine.”
“Oh, cool. That will be great. I’m happy they are including you in their activities.”
“I was surprised.”
“I’m not. They’re good people. I’ll finish up in here and get dressed. Let’s head to the cabin for breakfast.”
“Do you think they will be okay with me eating breakfast there this morning?”
“Totally. They’ll be glad you came.”
“Okay.”
Griz dressed, and they headed to the cabin, stepping in to find the place smelling amazing. “Wow, this smells great.”
“Can I help you all with anything?” Elowen asked.
“We’ve got it. Just finishing up.”
Danika gave Elowen a hug as she passed by. Griz headed up to change into clothes he wanted to wear while he fished. When he came down, Elowen was showing Sharp and Squat the cabinet in the dining room.
“Did you know Elowen made this cabinet?” Sharp asked him as he took the last step.
His eyebrows shot up. “You did?”
She nodded, her cheeks going pink. “I’ve made a few pieces of furniture. I was thinking of making a few more and selling them. There’s a store in Los Angeles who said they might be interested. I just have to find the time, and the wood.”
“Wow, do you have a shop set up?” Griz asked.
“I was borrowing space at a friend’s place. He passed away last year. I’d need to find a place to work.”
“It’s a beautiful piece of furniture,” Rowan came over and ran her hand over the top. “I think your furniture would sell well.”
“If it didn’t, I’d mostly be out time. My main issue is I don’t have a lot of time to give to making furniture and I wouldn’t want to just give my plans to a mass producer. I’d want to make them by hand.”
“That’s so cool.”
“Very cool, but time consuming.”
They ate breakfast and he and the guys took off. They were headed to a different part of the river today to fish. He loved this area and was excited about the prospect of moving here to be with Elowen. It would take time because he still had a few months left with the Navy.
Sharp stopped walking and they all paused. “What’s up?” Shine asked him.
“That’s weird. I haven’t seen any trail cameras until now, and that one is partially hidden. You’d think that if Elowen had put up trail cameras, we would have seen more.”
Griz scratched his chin. “Huh, that’s odd.”
“Did she say anything about trail cameras?” Sharp asked.
He shook his head. “No, she hasn’t. What is it pointed at?”
Sharp glanced around. “The river.”
“So odd.” Griz scratched his chin.
“Maybe we should ask when we get back,” Sharp said.
Griz nodded. “Sure.”
When Sharp first mentioned something about the camera, he’d thought nothing of it, but it did seem odd. She had no trail cameras close to her cabin, but the one they found was still on her property. Or he thought they were still on her property. He would have to check with her.
