Smolder Lane Part XII
*Sequel to Smolder Lane. A cracky fic to make your sides hurt.*
Evie is containing her tears when she feels the rain on her skin. Chris yanks her inside the boat as thunder sounds in the distance. Appropriate, Evie thinks.
“Your clothes are wet,” Chris frowns.
“Usually happens when you’re standing in the rain,” Evie crosses her arms.
“Clothes off,” he instructs as he grabs a towel from the bathroom.
“No!” Evie screams.
“I will not have you getting sick,” he growls.
“Well your clothes are wet too!” She counters.
“You first,” he grins.
“That is not what I meant!” She tells him.
“Put the towel on or I will do it for you,” he thrusts the towel at her. Evie huffs as she takes it.
“Turn around,” she tells him.
“So modest,” he smirks. “No.”
“I am not yours, Chris!” She shouts.
“I beg to differ,” he walks towards her and Evie gulps.

“Really mother nature?” Jlyn frowns as the rain pelts them. She notices Taylor shaking out his hair next to her. “Fantastic, soggy dog,” she grimaces.
“We are closing in on the yacht!” Orlando calls out.
“Hang on Evie! We are coming to rescue you!” Caroline says aloud.
“Do, do, do, do,” Jlyn starts humming the Mission Impossible theme song.
“Honey?” Rob raises an eyebrow at his wife.
“I really need Evie back,” she mutters. “She would get it.”
“Soon, sister!” LOTSLove smiles.
“Not soon enough,” Brendan frowns. “And are we sure we cannot kill him?”
“Now that’s tempting but do we really want to go to jail?” Ron looks at Brendan. Brendan sighs.
“No one is going to jail!” Jlyn pouts. “We need our husbands.”
“Agreed!” LOTSLove tells her as Orlando cuts the engine.
“Alright, everyone be quiet,” he tells them. “The boat will float to the side and we can tie it to the yacht and climb aboard.”
“Aye, aye, captain!” Caroline grins.
“I don’t see them,” Brendan whispers.
“They might be inside,” Craig tells them.
“Craig!” LOTSLove whispers. “Don’t make him more worried.”
Orlando eases the boat next to the yacht and ties it to the rope hanging on the side. The rain is falling softly as the climb up the rope.
“I am not a fan of rope climbing,” Taylor frowns.
“Well you are a dog and not a monkey. Make sense,” Jlyn shrugs. Taylor frowns again as he takes his turn climbing the rope. Soon they are on the deck of the boat, Chris and Evie nowhere in sight.
“What is the plan exactly?” Caroline whispers.
“I was wondering that myself,” LOTSLove whispers back.
“We grab Evie and leave,” Brendan growls and begins walking towards the cabin.
“Did anyone happen to grab a weapon?” Jlyn asks.
“That would have been a good idea,” Rob grimaces as they follow Brendan.

“Stop!” Evie holds out her hand. “I will change,” she rolls her eyes.
“Don’t do that,” Chris growls and grabs a towel for himself. Evie holds up the towel with one hand to block her from his view and slips out of her dress. She wraps the towel tightly around herself. When she finishes, Chris is sitting on the bed with only a towel on his waist, grinning at her. Chris grins at her. Evie gulps.”Care to join me?”
“No particularly,” Evie pouts. Chris sighs and stands up. He cups Evie’s face. “Get used to us.”
“Please let me leave,” she whispers.
“No,” he leans in and kisses her, wrapping his arms around her.
“Get off of her!” An angry voice booms. Chris pushes Evie behind him.
“Brendan!” Evie smiles.
“I should have known,” Chris chuckles.
“Evie! Are you in a towel?” Jlyn asks her.
“Nice to see you too, sister!” Evie wraps the towel tighter.
“You have had your fun, Chris,” Rob pipes up. “Give us Evie back.”
“I do believe you are on private property ladies and gentlemen,” Chris tells them.
“I don’t see any police in sight,” Craig counters.
“That can be arranged,” Chris responds.
“Evie wants to come with us, so just let her,” Orlando says.
“See you don’t understand,” Chris smiles. “Effective Monday she is single.”
“What?” Brendan looks at Evie.
“I didn’t ask for that!” Evie tells him.
“I also saved your lives,” Chris looks at them.
“The police saved our lives,” Caroline tells him.
“And who do you think called the police?” Chris asks.
“Is this true?” Rob looks at Evie.
“Yes,” she says quietly.
“Please get off my boat,” Chris tells them.
“Not without our sister!” LOTSLove tells him.
“Seems we are in a rock and a hard place,” Chris says.
“Yeah, I am sure you have a hard place right about now,” Jlyn snickers.
“I heard that!” Caroline hisses at her sister.
“I have an idea,” Taylor pipes up.
“We are in serious trouble if Taylor is the one with an idea,” Jlyn frowns.
“And what is that?” Chris asks.
“Ask Evie what she wants to do,” Taylor tells him.
“Hm,” Chris wraps his arms around Evie’s waist. “Yes, Evelyn. After everything we have discussed. What is your decision?” Evie stars at Chris, then Brendan, and her friends. Jlyn does not help her by humming the Jeopardy song. Evie gulps…
