They both quickly nodded their heads in agreement.

“Good. We have chicken noodle soup for dinner. Don’t get too excited. You’ll get sick of it soon enough, and the moment I hear the wordsI want to go home, we’re out of here.”

This was more of a warning to Sophie.

“This is not a camping trip or a vacation. It’s a serious mission to rescue Xavier Black, and we don’t even know who we’re dealing with.”

“A Sasquatch,” I heard Sophie’s low voice. “I think a Sasquatch kidnapped him.”

“I don’t want to know how you know about the Sasquatch. Why don’t you help Anna get the fire going while we get the fish?”

“I love fish.” Sophie patted her tummy, and then took Anna’s hand and led her to the fire pit. When the two of them turned away, it was the first time I let myself breathe. At least we had a campsite and a plan. You could never go wrong when you had a plan.

“Thank you for your support up there.”

“It wouldn’t have made sense to drag them back. You heard Emma – our window of opportunity isn’t that big. Moonshiners will be on the move by Thanksgiving. That’s only a week away.”

“You handled Sophie’s breakdown pretty well,” I said to Lola on the way down to the river.

“Why do you seem so surprised?”

“I don’t know. I guess I never saw this calmer and more reasonable side of you.”

“There was no point in making the situation worse, and it would have been if she climbed into that truck all on her own and followed her uncle without anyone knowing. Our entire mission could have been compromised, so I guess Anna coming with her is a blessing in disguise.”

A what?

I stopped at the water’s edge and looked over Lola. “You know, you never cease to surprise me. In a good way.”

She bit her lip, and my dick immediately grew hard. That’s when I realized that with Anna and Sophie here, it was unlikely that we’d get much alone time.

Fuck!

I stretched out the portable fishing rod and cast it just as Lola removed her shoes and then socks.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“You fish, and I take a dip. I need to freshen up.”

I couldn’t argue with her after that because the next thing I knew, her khakis were down on the ground, her panties flung off her foot, and her pear-shaped naked ass was calling to me. She dipped a cloth into the river and began washing herself while I stood there watching . A brisk tug on the fishing rod brought my attention back to my hands. Over the next few minutes, while Lola bathed at the bank down the stream, I caught four healthy trout. When she finished, she got dressed, and helped me gut the fish. Never in my life had I seen a woman gut a trout. She not only did it with finesse, but also without a single squirm as she pulled the guts out with her fingers.

When we returned to the campsite, the fire was lit and both Anna and Sophie were sitting on a log, warming chicken soup in a pot. We roasted the fish over fire and quickly ate supper. It wasn’t until Sophie yawned that I realized it was past her bedtime. The night had set quickly, and the temperatures had dropped.

“The tent is only big enough for two people,” I whispered to Lola.

“I’ll camp outside. Sophie can take my spot,” she replied. Yeah, that woman would never stop surprising me.

“Anna can take mine. It’s a warm night, and someone’s got to be on lookout. We can’t risk a fire going for too long.”

“All right. I guess camping out with a scout must be better than being on your own.”

I watched her smile. It was lit by the fire’s glow and made her look even more beautiful. She set down one of the sleeping bags near a tree and took a seat. As Anna and Sophie prepared for bed, I squatted beside Lola and leaned into her ear. “I promise you’ll see the stars with your eyes closed tonight.”

“Aha! I was wondering when those one liners would start.”

“You missed them, didn’t you?”

“I missed you.”
