This hot water heater isn't a typical residential one. Like everything in the cabin, I know every part of it. This allows me to fix it, when it acts up. Also, I've converted it to work the way I need or want, as I've done to all the appliances.So, I locate the part of the heater that isn't working, remove it, and head out to the shed out back to work on it. It should be an easy fix and be done, before dinner is ready.As I work, I try to figure out wht to tell Phoenix, when I see him in a day or two. He'll want to know how he can help, and honestly, the clothes are enough. I'm soaking up all the time I can get with her.The more time I have, the more I can convince her she's meant to be here with me, and that I'm committed to her. As much as it sucks, the road is still washed out, but I'm grateful for more time together. Fortumately, we aren't in need of supplies. In fact, we would be fine for a month or more, just the two of us.Even longer, if she's willig to give up a lot of her c

Axel is visibly frustrated about the knock on the door. I'm guessing he doesn't get many visitors out here. So, I'm not surprised, when he grabs his shotgun, before opening the door.If someone is here, that means the road is open, so it could be anyone. He's told me that his friends won't bother him, unless they need help. Maybe, that's the case, or Phoenix came to check on him and officially meet me?He cracks the door open enough to see who it is and talk to them. From where I am in the kitchen, I can't see anything, but I can hear it all.Expecting Phoenix, I'm shocked by the voice I hear, and it almost knocks me flat on my ass."Is Sydney here?" That voice I'm not too thrilled to hear asks.Of course, he would ruin a great day like today. I step behind Axel and look at Stephen in disbelief."Stephen? What the hell are you doing here?When his eyes land on me the relief floods his face, while in the same moment tension fills

"What's Thayer like?" she asks, as we eat breakfast."it's a lot like any other small-town, I guess. They do have a bit more tourism than I'd like. People who are passing through from Summersville to New River National Park or vice versa. They stop to check out the local shops, and many times, they stay overnight."While I am grateful for the tourists, because they are mostly who buy my stuff, but at the same time, it's a bit of a pain in the warmer months. I guess, that's why I spend all my time winter prepping on the mountain, to avoid as much of the crowds between Memorial Day and Labor Day."I'm really excited to see this shop you talk so much about and meet your friends."Though, I want her to meet the guys, I'm also hesitant, though I won't tell her that. She saw how possessive I was, when it was just Phoenix, and he was separated by a body of water."We'll walk Main Street, and you can do some shopping and see everything," I say kissing her temple.I love touching her anywaay

It's been a few days of blissful sex, winter prep, and river fun. The sex in his car seemed to calm Axel, and cement in his mind, I'm his, and I'm not going anywhere. Since then, he's been even more loving, if that's even possible. Once we said the 'I love you' to each other, it's like we can't stop. He doesen't leave a room without telling me, and it's the first words spoken, when we wake up in the morning, and the last ones said, before going to bed each night. I've never felt freer, more myself than I do out here with Axel. I till wear his shirt around the house with nothing underneath. We both like him having access to me in the cabin, and he uses that freedom well. But now, I have clothes to wear, when we go checking traps, or like today, when we go out hunting. We are planning another trip into town sooner than normal, so I can get my hunting tags, and we can increase the number of animals we can hunt. I also want to get trapping permits, so we can run another trapping line.

I start working on my jerkey the day after we go hunting. We'll be going into town soon to place an order for the things Sydney needs to make her lights. She has been talking about the different designs she wants to try, and I'm excited for her. Also, we have to make plans to get her stuff. I'd like to do that soon, so we can be done with her ex and pretend he never existed. Forget that his name got to touch my Little One. Because when I remember, I want to beat him to a pulp. I look over at her in the living room. She's laying on the couch reading and looking peaceful. I know the orgasms I gave her this morning down at the river are part of the reason, but I know the other part is just being here. My serene moment is gone the moment the front porch creeks. I don't even get out of the kitchen, before someone is pounding on the front door. "Police, open up!" they yell. Sydney looks at me with fear in her eyes, and I vow whoever caused that will

As I sit in the bare room with nothing but a chair and tabe, I look around, finding a camera in the corner that I smile sweetly into. THe row of mirrors across from me I know is one way, and I wonder who is on the other side. Will Stephen be watching this? I knd of hope he does. Whe n I parked, I saw his dad's car in the parking lot, so I hope his dad is back there as well. I wonder where Axel is. I had a feeling they would kee us apart, and as much as my skin is crawling at the separation, I know he's just as bad. THey leave me sitting for a good twenty minutes, before a uniformed officer walks in. He's large, larger than most men I've seen, but still not as big as Axel. Ms. Owens. I'm Detective Greer," he says in a way of a greeting. I nod to the mirrors in front of me. "Stephen and his dad watching?" I ask. He doesn't say anything, but the look in his eyes tells me they are. "Good, let them finally here the truth. I can't wa

My skin is crawling being away from Sydney. THough, I know why they're keeping us apart, but that doesn't mean I'm okay with it. I don't know if she's comfortable, or if she's scared. The thought of her being fearful makes me want to rip down the door and go search for her, but I know that won't look good for either of us.Just as I take a deep breath, a cop walks in. Apparently, they had to find the largest guy they have and while this guy is much bigger than the two that brought me in, he still smaller than me.He stops at the door and sizes me up, like he didn't expect me to be so big."How's Sydney? Is she okay?" I ask."She's fine, Mr. Ingleson. I'm Detective Greer," he says, sitting down.We spend the next twenty minutes ot so going over how Sydney found me, the storm and using being trapped in the cabin. I tell about Stephen showing up, our trip to town, and to the cops showing up on our doorstep today."Any idea why Mr. Wyatt w

The door opens and Detective Greer steps in."Ms. Owens, you are free to go," he holds the door for me."And Axel?" I ask."He'll onl be a few more minutes. I suggest you decide, if you will be pressing charges, before you leave, while we still have Stephen here at the station," he says.I nod and follow him out past rows of desks. Only a few officers look up at me, and each one of their stares make me uncomfortable, but I'm not sure why. We walk to the front of the building and through a gate to the waiting area.On the other side of the room, I find Stephen and his dad arguing. Well, more like his dad going off on him. THey don't see me, so I take a few steps closer to hear what's being said. Yes, it's being noisy, but I want to know if they heard what I had to say."What the hell is wrong with you, Stephen? Cheating? I know I taught you better than that. If you wanted to break up, you know we would have helped her out, but stringing her on like that is wrong.""I know dad.""No, yo
