Cuffing The Law Book 2 in The Willowbrook Series

Chapter 29

Deacon

"Deacon you and Daisy will be on one team." Sage tells me as I raise my eyebrows. What is with the whole pairing me with Daisy? Not that I mind, to be honest I was kind of hoping I'd be paired with the girl who has held my heart for the last ten years or so. Only, isn't Sage being a bit obvious or is she trying to meddle? Who knows, but I'm not complaining. Daisy huffs and places her hands on her narrow hips and blows a strand of hair off her cute face.

"I wanted to pair with Lottie." She says belligerently, I scoff. She glares at me.

"No, Lottie is pairing with Sadie otherwise Sadie doesn't have a pair." Sage confirms.

"What about Ryle, I could go with Ryle?" Lottie offers. Holy smoking, this is such fun watching the girls all trying to vie for Ryle, well at least Lottie. There is no shame in her right now. Ryle rolls his eyes, he's done that at least four times and I am beginning to lose count.

"What about you and Logan?" I ask. "How is that working?"

"We're not taking part since we came up with the clues. Eliza will be with her husband, Lottie will pair with Sadie, Ryle is helping Logan with wood now and sorting out the band and acoustics for the band later. They still have some touches to do to the bandstand." Sage explains.

"Easy way out." I say, and catch Daisy looking at me. I wink at her, she blushes.

"Okay, I guess being with Deacon isn't so bad." Daisy says and licks her bottom lip. It makes my stomach fizz, is she giving me the come on? I'd like to fist her hair, pull her head back and kiss those luscious, cherry lips of hers. There is definitely a glint in her eyes.

"Here are the clue sheets, do not lose them."

"What does the winner get?" Daisy asks Sage.

"You will receive a bottle of champagne and a box of Molly's Fudge." Logan steps in.

"Oo, I love Molly's fudge." Lottie says licking her lips.

"Me too." Sadie says. "Right, Lottie we've got to win this, besides, I never lose a treasure hunt."

"And guys, mobiles stay here, there will be no cheating. Everyone reconvenes at the cabin for lunch in ninety minutes." Sage hands out pink pieces of paper with fancy, italic kind of writing on in dark blue. Very feminine. I take the piece of paper only to have it snatched from my hands by Daisy.

"Mm, this smells beautiful. Where did you get these fragranced sheets from, Sage?" She asks smelling the paper still. Fancy shit, fragranced paper, it seems almost old fashioned.

"Hoogan's. He ran up my invitations for me and place settings. They all match."

"Beautiful." Eliza offers, her husband just hangs back, I am guessing Eliza wears the pants in that house.

"First clue," Daisy begins. "Getting the first clue will be a joy. Look for it where you would put your toy?"

Lottie begins to chuckle. "What kind of toy, like a vibrating toy?" Daisy and Sadie start laughing. I roll my eyes and Sage glares at them.

"Obviously not a vibrating toy. Girls, keep it clean, please." She implores. Logan guffaws.

"Toy box. Only where in this cabin would there be a toy box?" I ask and look at Daisy who is giving me come to bed eyes. Shit, she's doing something to me, my heart is melting and I can feel my dick wanting to spring into action, only I'm wearing tight jeans and can't be doing with having a hard-on in front of everyone.

"A bedroom. Come on Deacon let's go." She grabs me by the hand and starts to head up the stairs, we're followed hot on our heels by Lottie, Sadie, Eliza and her husband.

"See you guys later." Logan calls out as I watch him pull Sage in to him and kiss her. I love how they are together, their whole relationship and being together says it all, forever. Happiness is looking at those two that is for sure.

"Quick let's take a look in this room?" Daisy says eagerly.

"Hold on, shouldn't we ask to go in one of the other rooms, I mean it will have personal belongings in it?"

"Nah, no-one will mind."

"You can go in there." Lottie calls up with Sadie right behind her. Daisy swings open the first door and takes a glance around.

"It's a double room like ours, doubt there'll be a toy box in here."

"Maybe we should check our room first, only I am pretty sure there was a wooden chest in there." I know for a fact there is. Her hand feels warm in mind, electricity is pulsing right through my arm. I want to touch her more and pull her into my chest and kiss her, to inhale her shampoo on her hair. I'm wild for this girl and it's intense being so close to her, holding her hand.

She dashes down the corridor to where our room is and flings the door open. "Yes, over there by the window." She makes a dash for it and quickly opens the box. "It has toys in it and a pink piece of paper." She reads the next clue.

"Twist me and turn me and look into the ? this is where you can see your face." Daisy starts to squeal, I've never seen her so excited about anything, well except when she knew that the fowl was hers. "It's the lake, the lake. Come on, hurry up."

"We heard that, bet we get there before you two." Lottie shouts out. I groan, really, treasure hunts are so not my thing.

"On second thoughts, Deacon we could just stay here." What did she just say? She is looking between me and the bed. My heart begins to race, it's thumping so hard it could easily leap right out of my chest.

"Daisy, I told you before not to tempt me. If I start something with you, I don't trust myself to be able to stop."

"Good, maybe it's just what you need." Her voice is flirtatious. Jeez-us this firecracker is killing me. One of us has to remain sensible, even though I am struggling with that right now. How on earth am I going to cope with us sleeping together tonight, I have to remain strong? I cannot get entangled with Daisy. I want to start a family, I want a forever girl like Logan has Sage. And Daisy, well Daisy is still young, she will want to roam free and be wild not tied down to an old man like me. But hell, to feel her moving up and down on me, riding me like she wants me, her hair falling all over her shoulders. I groan. What's a man to do?
