As the gossip spread rapidly through the village, Samuel’s family warned him to stop causing trouble. They advised him to wait until after the wedding–he hadn’t even introduced Millie to them yet. If he continued to stir up trouble, her family might come looking for him.

He understood all that, but he just couldn’t control himself.

Every time he thought about Josephine’s voluptuous body and the way she pretended to resist but wanted him, he felt his desire flare up. After all, what man could contain that kind of temptation?

The villagers were right, and how could this all be my fault? I am a victim here, too,’ he thought.

He took a day off from the factory in town, bought some meat, pastries, candy, and milk. With the bags in hand, he headed toward the end of the

town.

He was being clever about it today, and he deliberately took a side path that hardly anyone ever used. To be honest, almost nobody ever went to that far end of the village.

Thinking about Josephine’s face, he felt a rush of heat in his chest, and before he knew it, he was walking faster and faster.

Samuel also heard that a group of fruit buyers had recently visited David’s place. Word was that there was a woman with them who was supposedly even hotter than the celebrities on TV.

He’d heard she was some kind of secretary. Just another pretty young secretary, and nothing special. Samuel had decided to check her out when he had the time. If she really looked like an angel, wasn’t it all about money anyway? His family had plenty to spare.

He was almost at Josephine’s house when he slipped into the shadows at the corner, peeking out to make sure no one was around.

As he moved, Samuel was completely unaware that a pair of eyes was watching him from behind.

“Tsk, you really do have your ear to the ground,” Aubree muttered, hiding just out of Samuel’s line of sight. She watched him poking his head out like a turtle peeking from its shell.

Tucked away in a narrow crevice between some rocks, Aubree and Bowen were crouched at the crossroads of the only two paths leading to Josephine’s house.

“So, how are you so sure Samuel’s gonna show up today?” she asked.

“If you look at the timing, when we first arrived, that was just when Samuel and Josephine started hooking up. It’s only been a few days, and he’s already shameless enough to visit her in broad daylight and sneak out at night. With the way men are wired, there’s no way he won’t show up again today.”
