I adjust myself one last time, then get out of there. The cold air hits me outside and helps calm my cock, and I head back to her place, tugging my hat further on my head and slipping my gloves on.
Me
I should have some more information for you in the next few days
CC95
and then we’ll meet up again?
Me
yep. We can do Maine Coffee Co again, or you can try to break into my cabin, then I can catch you and tie you up
CC95
again
Me
again
CC95
just… let me know
I grin and make one last sweep of the outside of herapartment. I stand in the alley across the street until her light flicks off in her bedroom and the cameras confirm she’s burrowed under her thick comforter, this time sleeping. It’d be better if I could stand in the shadows of her room and watch over her.
Instead, I head home.
Chapter 14
Not a Good Stalker
CALLIE
Instead of heading home after I get off work on Monday afternoon, I hop on the road out of Portland toward Lake Savage. Even though I talked to him via text—and picture, lord have mercy—on Friday evening. I’m getting antsy for more information about Shane.
The problem is I don’t know exactly how to get to Wes’s cabin. I have a general idea? So that might be enough.
Could I just message him for an update? Sure.
But this is me being assertive. Not a boring-ass good girl, but someone who goes after what she wants. Maybe I’m even behaving a little bit dangerous. I like it.
Not nearly as dangerous as that first time I followed him home, however, as I didn’t know he was kind of not scary at all.
Even so, I should not be pursuing this man.
He broke into my apartment! And left a pie. I shouldn’t let myself get distracted by delicious pies and killer abs. I’ve been so deprived of romantic love and affection for the lastdecade of my life that my brain must think that any attention is good attention.
I need to focus on my end goal, which is to find Shane and make him my ex-husband. But I am, right? If Wes likes me, he’s more likely to work hard to solve my case, which will get me to Shane faster. I’m only interacting with Wes because he’s the key to freeing myself from Shane and allowing me to start over.
Yeah. That’s exactly it.
That’s why I’m driving to his cabin uninvited. Again.
I was in Lake Savage once years ago, but there are so many cute little lake towns in Maine, it’s hard to keep track. I zone out as I pass through thick woods, snow piled up on the side of the road.
When Shane first disappeared, after I found Honey Bunny and had a few days to process, I was almost relieved.Almostbecause we had shit to sort through. He had papers to sign. He had my mother’s ring. It was not over. But not having to come home to an apartment with him in it was such a relief.
