Chapter Fifteen

The rain stopped, andthe sun came out later that day, but the guys told her it would still take a few days to dry out.The electricity did come back on, much to their delight.

For the next few days, they continued to question her, but she wasn’t ready to tell them everything.It made her sick, even thinking about her stepfather.She just wasn’t prepared to talk about it out loud.

“Hey, babe, we need to go to town,” Malik told her as she was wiping the table down.

She froze.Go off the mountain?She felt her anxiety start to build.She just kept wiping and asked nonchalantly.“Why?”

Both men chuckled.

“Because you can’t go around in our boxers, babe,” Aiden said.

“How long will we be gone?”

“The road up here sucks.We have gravel trucks headed up tomorrow to help with the potholes, but until then, we’ll just have to go slow.So, I expect about thirty minutes down and back, and the rest depends on how much you want to get.

She shook her head at Malik.“I don’t need much at all.”

“Then we’ll get the basics for you,” Aiden said.“And then next time we go to town, we can get more.”

Malik cupped her cheek.“Stop worrying.No one is going to get to you.They have to go through us, and that ain't happening.”

She sighed, nodded, and rubbed her cheek against his palm.

“Let’s get going, guys,” Aiden yelled from the front door.

Malik pressed a quick kiss to her lips.“Everything’s going to be okay.”

She nodded again, but still felt like her world was about to fall apart.

Camila looked right and left as Malik drove them down.The road was horrible, but the scenery was breathtaking.

“It’s so pretty.”

“I think so, too,” Aiden said.“But I also think we take it for granted.”
