don’t have to get out in the morning. I have a feeling it’s going to start raining or snowing tomorrow,” Cam said. “For real or just a shower?” Phillip asked. Cam was the one who could predict the weather better than anyone he knew. “Probably a good little one, but not too much to worry about, yet.” They backed the trailers under the sheds and closed the doors, then parked the buggies under the one by the house. They walked inside and locked up the house before climbing the stairs to find Lacy passed out asleep in bed with the covers over her head. “Shit, she’s had it.” Cam said. “Yeah. I think your stress is rubbing off on her, which is another reason you’ve got to share some of that with me. We’re making her sick.” “I’ll sit with her until you get your shower,” Cam said. Phillip nodded and hurried to the bathroom to shower so he could get in bed with Lacy. He wanted to hold her. He hated that he’d left her to unload the trailers, but it had to be done and Lacy hadn’t seemed to want them around. She must be one of those types of people who didn’t like anyone around them when they were sick. He’d have to remember that for the future. As soon as he was dried off, Phillip climbed into bed and Cam left to shower next. He pulled Lacy back into his arms and stroked her forehead with his hand, smoothing her hair back from her head. She didn’t even stir. She was exhausted. Phillip hoped she wasn’t pregnant yet. They needed to get Cam out of his panic mode and calmed down before she turned up pregnant. He would drive them all insane as it was now. Cam walked out of the bathroom drying off with a towel. Once he reached the bed, he discarded it and climbed into the bed and rolled over but backed up against Lacy. “Is she warm enough?” he asked. “Yeah, I think she’s okay. Don’t move, though. I only have one half of her covered. You get the other half of her,” Phillip told him. “What if I want all of her?” Cam asked. “You’ll have to fight me for her,” Phillip said, only half joking. “That’s what I thought.” Cam didn’t turn over.
Chapter Ten
Lacy woke up early the next morning surrounded by the men. She was toasty warm but needed to go to the bathroom and she was hungry. She lifted her head and checked the clock. It was only a little after five. They would sleep awhile if she could manage to get out of bed without waking them up. She extracted her arm from around Cam and started pulling out of Phillip’s embrace. “What?” he mumbled. “Go back to sleep. I’m going to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.” He jerked up. “Are you sick?” “No, just need to pee.” She climbed over him. “I’ll be back.” He nodded and lay back down. She heard his soft snore seconds later as she tiptoed to the bathroom. She hurried through her morning routine and grabbed some clothes on the way out the bedroom door. Then she stopped and dressed on the landing before hurrying down the stairs to make coffee. The sleep had chased away the last of the headache, but she didn’t feel that much better. Knowing that Cam wasn’t going to love her tore her up inside. She realized in that moment that she had fallen in love with them—both of them. Once the coffee was ready, Lacy poured a cup and sipped on it while trying to decide where to start on storing away the supplies. The men had brought it all inside and lined the cabinets with it. Staying busy would help keep her mind from dwelling on finding out that Cam was in love with Rachel. She worked for nearly an hour before she stopped and fixed a bowl of cereal with reconstituted milk. She poured another cup of coffee and ate while she let her mind wonder over what to fix for lunch and supper that night. When she took her bowl to the sink, she looked out the window and saw that it was snowing. She wondered if it were like the snow at home, or if it would be different there. Lacy sighed and turned
