ROUGH CUT (Men of the Woods Book 3)
Page 11
I reach over and flip open the other box, a hand flying to my mouth as I hold back the gasp.
“It was my mother’s.” He tips his head toward my dad. “Our mother’s, I mean.”
“It’s so beautiful.” My voice shakes as he steps forward and his hands come to release the gold chain from the velvet background.
“Lift your hair.” His voice booms and I reach around to hold up my hair as the brush of the pendant glances over my skin, making me shudder.
Cain secures the chain around my neck, then steps back to look at where the rose gold and diamond locket sits just under the base of my neck.
My eyes start to water. Not just from the gift, but from the way he’s looking at me. Wild and hungry, unlike I’ve ever seen him look at me before.
“Well.” My dad comes up from behind. “Uncle Cain is spoiling you.”
“She deserves a little spoiling.” He grumbles shifting his weight around like he’s suffering some discomfort.
“Okay.” Dad wobbles a little as he crosses his arms, his bathing suit dripping on the cement below, then he looks at me. “So, something’s come up.”
His eyes move to Cain, then back to me again as a feeling of dread clutches at my stomach. Cain brings a hand to his jaw, rubbing the beard that covers him there.
“What?” I glance at them both and Cain looks at the ground.
“Cynthia is going to an auto finance and investors conference in South Haven on Lake Michigan. It’s last minute but the boss gave me the okay to go, so we’re heading out tomorrow.”
“Oooo...kay.” Confusion spins through me at the odd vibe swirling between the three of us.
Cynthia is the bookkeeper for the car dealership, so I guess it makes sense for her to be going. But I doubt this is all business and no pleasure, and the thought of them spending a dirty weekend together doesn’t exactly help that nausea building in my stomach.
“I don’t feel comfortable with you alone in a new town in this big house without anyone to look after you. You also have school and since you don’t drive...I asked your uncle if he’d come here to look after you for a few days. We’ll be back Tuesday, no biggie, right?” His holds his fist up in front of me. When I don’t move, he chuckles, “Don’t leave me hanging...”
If it weren’t for the goosebumps, I think I might have died at his attempt to sound cool.

About Dani
Dani Wyatt used to feel bad about having such dirty thoughts. Luckily, one day she decided to start writing them down. Her ultra-obsessed, alpha heroes have a wicked possessive streak and an insatiable libido. Her heroines are intelligent, quirky, and worry about having too much muffin top. So, if you like your insta-love over the top, super hot, with a little more plot and always a happily ever after you’re in the right place.
She’s fighting middle age like a warrior and lives an average life battling gravity. When she's not writing she is probably laughing about some irony (like A-1 Steak Sauce is vegan), reading, riding her horse, or looking cross-eyed at some piece of technology sent to ruin her day
Thank You.
I have so many amazing people I’ve met since I started putting my
naughty thoughts on the page. To some of the first fans who supported me, the bloggers,
fellow authors who have been more than generous with their
time and opinions as well as the other professionals that
put up with my particular kind of crazy, thank you.
...you guys remind me
Every day that when we support each other, everyone wins.
