fingers invaded her heat.
    “What if Birdie catches us....” Everly exhaled, watching birdie read a magazine on the kitchen table.
    “She’ll never know,” he growled.
    A long growl released from deep in his chest, when he felt her luscious body shivering against him. Everly didn’t expect to come so soon. But Cade knew what her body desired, much more than she did.
    Birdie briskly rushed in the kitchen with a shocked look on her face. Cade quickly drew his warm hand up from Everly’s heat. Everly turned around trying her best not to seem completely undone.
    “OH MY GOD!” Birdie screeched, holding up a tabloid magazine with Cade’s face splashed all over it. She slapped Cade on his hard shoulder. “I knew I had seen you before. “Cade Forrest! What are you doing up here holing up with my big sister?”
    Cade studied the photos. It was him just dressed up and more fancy looking.
    Cade shifted around to Everly.
    “Did you know about this?” he asked her, wanting an explanation.
    Now, the truth was out and Everly couldn’t pretend anymore.
    “Yes... I knew,” she replied, anxiously rubbing her arms.
    And then the memories started flashing in Cade’s mind. Everything from how he and Everly first met to the night she stormed out of the restaurant.
    The old Cade Forrest was back.
    Birdie loved watching the two of them get caught up in a whirlwind of drama.
    Cade lurched fast outside of the house. Enraged, he couldn’t believe Everly had led him on this entire time. He trusted her. Shared his secrets... and it was all for a lie.
    Everly quickly followed after him.
    “Cade!” she hollered.
    He ignored her.
    “CADE!”
    Finally, he turned.
    “It’s true, I lied,” Everly confessed, staring down at her feet. “But that’s before I knew, how sweet you could be. Before last week, I thought you were just some spoiled rich man who was hell bent on destroying my father’s farm.”
    Cade knew, that in his old life, he had been a ruthless businessman willing to do whatever it took to get what he wanted—no matter what the cost. How could he be angry with her for being the same?
    “I’m not gonna stand here and ask for your forgiveness. But I just have one question,” Everly started to ask, looking into Cade’s dark red eyes. “If you’re a bear, why do you care so little about destroying your own habitat to build these stupid hotels?”
    Cade glanced off, and began to walk away.
    “Be ready to move out tomorrow, I’m bringing in my construction crew...” he roared coldly.
    Everly still couldn’t give up, she had to try everything in her power to keep control of her daddy’s farm.
    “After everything that’s happened between us you’re still going through with it?! Don’t do this to spite me, Cade!” she shouted, feeling like she and Cade were further apart than when this whole thing started.
    Cade didn’t turn back, and didn’t care to see the tears welling in Everly’s eyes.
    Everly cried in her hands, feeling like she lost everything.

Chapter Seven
    E verly woke up to the sound of Cade’s construction crew moving in the next morning. She rushed to her window to see if she could spot Cade.
    Birdie sat on her couch with her legs crossed at the knee. Birdie looked her sister up and down while chomping on an apple. At this point, Everly thought she’d truly run out her welcome.
    “What are you still doing here?” Everly sighed. “Don’t you got someone else’s perfectly good life to ruin?”
    Birdie snorted. “Don’t you sass me! I’m not the one who lied and lost Daddy’s farm. Look, I know you and I don’t get along so much—but let me give you one piece of advice.”
    Everly rolled her eyes. What could Birdie possibly teach her? Birdie could barely handle the problems in her own life.
    “I’ve never seen you as happy as you’ve been over the past couple of days. If you really like this man or werebear, you two need to suck it up and find some way to make things work. Or,
