I managed to rent a 4x4 when I got there which I was grateful for when I was making my way up the mountain. I found the cabin with just a little difficulty and I was glad to find it empty. I managed to pull the dark-colored jeep along the far side of the cabin so it wouldn’t be easily spotted. Now all I could do is wait.

Jason: I’m here now. I beat her to the cabin and managed to somewhat camouflage the jeep I rented. I’ll get her to message you after I’ve convinced her that I’m not the asshole she thinks I am right now.

Raven: Thanks for letting me know. Things are settled at the club and restaurant, so don’t worry about that. We’ve got you covered for a week, just in case you decide to stay there for a bit.

Jason: I owe you guys dinner when we’re back. Thanks so much.

Raven: Of course. Good luck

Leah turned in to the cabin about an hour later, but for me it felt like a lifetime. I didn’t want to scare her, but I also needed to make sure that she didn’t have the chance to dodge me. I opted for the lesser of two evils and approached her as she got to the porch.

“Leah,” I said, my voice deep with emotion.

“Fuck! You scared the hell out of me! How did you find me? How did you beat me here? What are you doing here?”

“I’m sorry I scared you. To answer your questions, Raven, on a plane, and because I have to talk to you.”

“You flew here? What the hell, Jason? Do you have any idea how insane you sound right now?”

“Yeah, well you didn’t exactly make it easy to talk to you at the club. I went to my room to get something and you fucking took off. I thought we were passed all that shit. Can we go inside and talk, please?”

“I have nothing to say to you.”

“Good, because you won’t be the one talking. For once, you’re going to fucking listen,” I growled.

She looked at me with wide eyes and shock on her face. She was so flustered, she simply nodded and unlocked the door. It was freezing inside.

“I assume you have supplies in the car?”

“Yeah, the trunk is full.”

“Does the cabin run on a generator?”

“Yes, it’s at the back.”

“Okay, you get a fire started, and I’ll get the generator going and unload the car.”

She nodded again and went to work on the fire. It only took me a couple of trips to get everything in, including my bag. I was trying not to be too pissed at Leah, but she should have just talked to me. If we were going to build a future, the running away shit needed to stop. I took a deep breath and sat on the couch.

“Leah, please come sit with me.”

“Jason, I don’t really want…”

“I’m not asking,” I said firmly. “Come and sit with me now.”

“Yes, Sir,” she said, scrambling to take her seat next to me.

“I went to my room tonight because I had to get something. The last thing I expected was to find Cindi naked and cuffed to my fucking bed. She somehow got a copy of my key and let herself in.”

“Why didn’t you come out and tell me that?”

“Leah, I had to get her out of my room. I wanted to unlock the padlock on her cuff, but she shoved it up her pussy right before she started fucking herself with your purple dildo.”

“Oh my God. There is so much wrong in that sentence.”

“I ended up having to message Seb. He and Chase came with bolt cutters, but we still couldn’t get her to get dressed and leave. We argued with her for fifteen minutes. I finally got fed up, threw her over my shoulder naked, and dumped her on the steps at the front of the club.”

“And rather than giving you the benefit of the doubt, I bailed. Again.”
