Julian grabbed Eve by her arms and shoved her back against the stack of hay bales. His hands reached for the bottom of her dress and raised it up passed her hips. Her hands pushed on his shoulders.

“No!” she said.

Julian paused, but kept his hands where they were.

“No?” he asked as he shook his head.

She didn’t respond.

His hand reached for the front of her dress and ripped it open. Eve gasped. Her bra unhooked in the front, so Julian went straight for it and undid it. She looked down as she felt that her breasts were now without support. Julian too, looked down and watched in marvel as Eve’s chest rose and fell with her rapid breathing.

“God, you’re beautiful,” he groaned, “So damn beautiful!” his hands reached out and began kneading her breasts.

Eve cried out as she felt his thumbs move over her nipples. She cursed herself for the response he coaxed out of her. She felt his lips once more upon her lips, and then on her neck, and then between her breasts. His breath was hot as it touched her skin. Eve could feel the stubble as he rubbed his face against her. The hands that were gripping her waist were now under her dress again. Julian lifted Eve up into his arms as he stood between her legs.

“I hate you!” she pushed on his chest.

“Yes, darling, hate me…hate me,” he grunted as one arm supported her bottom while his hand grabbed her breast once more.

Eve’s hands gripped the collar of his shirt and pulled him closer to her. They kissed again, and it was the first time that Eve had felt his wet and soft tongue stroke hers. Julian’s mouth traveled to her neck and Eve grabbed his hair and ran her fingers through it.

He then carried Eve back over to the hay bale she’d been sitting on and laid her down onto it. He stood and removed his shirt and then bent over and reached under her dress and pulled off her underwear. As he lay on top of her, kissing her, he unbuckled his belt with one hand and then unbuttoned his pants and slid them down, and before Eve knew it, they were one. She didn’t know how to react as Julian thrust into her. The pleasure just spread throughout her body as Eve grabbed a hold of him. His lips closed around her hardened nipple and dampened it as his tongue washed over it.

“Julian…Julian…”

“Yes, yes, darling! I love how it sounds when my name comes from your lips,” he whispered as he moved to her other breast.

Julian suddenly felt something wet on his back. He picked his head up from Eve’s breasts to look towards the ceiling. Rain was leaking through. Eve then snapped out of the spell she was under and pushed Julian off of her. She stood up and pulled her dress together in the front.

“How dare you!” she panted.

Julian stared at her in confusion. What had just happened here?

“Would you please pull up your pants?!” she turned her back to him.

Julian smiled and removed his pants and boxers until he was completely naked. He then walked up and stood directly behind her as his hands rested on her shoulders. She flinched, but relaxed as he began kissing her shoulder. His hands then reached for her dress and pulled it off her shoulders and down her body until it lay around her ankles.

“Eve,” he whispered into her ear as his lips nipped at it.

Chills were sent down her spine at just how his voice excited her.

“We don’t need this,” he said as his arms reached around her to her front and unhooked her bra once more.

It fell to the floor. His hands cupped her breasts and massaged them in a circular motion as he brought her against his chest. Julian turned her around and brought her down onto the ground with him.

The two had succeeded in making love for the fourth time and Eve was now laying on him while she listened to his now steady heartbeat. He stared straight up and couldn’t believe that he had just made love to the woman who had been making his life a living hell for the past few weeks. She picked up her head and looked at Julian. His eyes went from the tiny hole in the tin roof to hers.

The whole time Julian had moved within her, Eve looked to his face. She memorized practically every expression he made, every wrinkle, everything…

Her index finger traced over his left eye brow. Her thumb then swept across his pursed lips, but lingered. Julian puckered his lips and kissed the pad of her thumb. His tongue swirled around it and brought it into his mouth as he suckled it, never taking his eyes off of hers. She moaned and removed her thumb from his mouth and replaced it with her own mouth. Julian’s hands went from her lower back to her backside and pressed her down onto him, as if it was possible for him to be anymore deeper inside her. She gasped into his mouth. His fingers ran up her back and got tangled in her hair and brought Eve’s face upon his as they kissed each other madly…

“Eve?” Julian sat up.

His fingers played with the threads of the frayed blanket he and Eve shared during their love making.

“Hmm?” she stirred.

Eve had fallen asleep after she and Julian had made love the fifth time. After the first time, they just could not keep their hands off each other.

“I have to tell you something,” he turned to look at her, and then turned back around, “I have to tell you about Tc. Why I fired him.”

“What?” she said in confusion as she lay on her side and stared at his back.

“Why I fired Tc,” Julian took in a breath and then said it, “That day I saw you at the office,” Julian closed his eyes, “And then I walked into Tc’s office to warn him about messing up again, but…” he paused.

“But? But what?” she sat up behind him.

“Tc wasn’t alone,” he shook his head, “He was in his office with his secretary…”

“Well, maybe she was giving him a file…”

“Eve they were having sex on his desk.” Julian sighed as he confessed to her.

Eve didn’t make a sound and that scared him. He turned to her and Eve just stared coldly at him. Her eyes were as cold as ice.

“Eve, say something…please.”

She got up and began looking for her clothes. Her dress was lying by his feet. Eve picked it up and brought it over her head and stuck her arms through the armholes…

“Eve?”

She looked to him.

“You’re lying! Tc would never do such a thing,” she cried.

“Eve they were f***ing on his desk!” he blurted out.

“YOU’RE LYING!” she screamed and swung her fist and hit him in the face.

Eve was so angry and the force behind her hand sent Julian in a lying position. She watched as he fell back. Eve then began looking for her underwear and her shoes.

“I can’t believe that you would make up a ridiculous lie such as that! Tc loves me; he would never betray me…the way I’ve betrayed him,” she sniffed, “Oh my God, what have I done…I’m so sorry, Tc,” she cried.

Eve noticed that Julian hadn’t said anything to her after she punched him. She wondered what was keeping him from speaking, so she turned to see what he was doing, but what she found was an unconscious Julian. The hay that had been surrounding his head was now soaked in blood…blood that had been coming from his head.

“OH MY GOD!” she screamed, “JULIAN!” she rushed over to him.

She picked up his head and blood now covered the palm of her hand. Eve began panicking.

“Oh God, how did this happen?” she cried as her hands reached through the hay.

Eve gasped. Her ringers felt the end of the pitch fork that had been lying flat, hidden in the hay.

“Julian, Julian,” she shook him, “Come on, you have to wake up…please!” she continued to cry, but Julian never regained consciousness.

Eve was a doctor, but she knew she wouldn’t be able to save Julian from an injury this bad, especially since she didn’t have any medical equipment with her. She had to get help, and she had to get it FAST!

She ran to his suit jacket and reached in his pockets in search of his phone. She finally found it and dialed “nine-one-one”. Help was on its way as Eve kept a compress on his head.

The sirens were heard, and Eve jumped up and ran to the barn door and informed the paramedics that Julian was in the barn on the floor. They found Julian and began working on him. Eve was off to the side, crying and holding her dress together.

Luke Patterson looked to a frightened Eve. She seemed lost in thought. He took notice of Eve’s dress. It had been ripped. He then looked back down at Julian. Julian was completely naked.

Luke reached for the walkie talkie and brought it up to his mouth and spoke into it.

“Yes, it seems as if we have a situation here…” he continued to talk.

Five minutes later an officer came into the barn and approached Eve.

“Miss, if we can take your statement on what happened tonight?”

“Hmm, huh, what?” she shook out of her daze.

“I can tell you look pretty shaken up, and from your appearance, I can only guess that Mr. Crane over there…forced himself on you, is that right, ma’am?”

“What?” she looked down at her clothes, “No,” she began to shake her head.

“Ma’am it’s okay, you don’t have to be frightened; we’re going to help you out the best we can, and Mr. Crane over there is going to go to jail for what he’s done.

“But…but…” and then Eve’s thoughts went back to just before she punched Julian.

Her mind went back to their love making. Tc would never forgive her if he knew that she betrayed him. And the accusations that Julian said about Tc were just going too far…

And that’s when Eve felt herself begin to nod. Even if Julian had been accused of this crime, he was a “Crane” and “Crane’s” didn’t spend time in jail. He would bribe the judge and he’d get off scot-free. This was the only solution so Eve could keep her marriage intact.

“Yes, officer…he grabbed me from my car and dragged me into here…” she cried.

I’m sorry, Julian…I’m so sorry…

“Shh, it’s okay, ma’am,” Officer Warrick pulled her into an embrace, “We’ll make sure that Mr. Crane pays for his crime and that he’ll never commit it again…and that’s a promise,” he glared to Julian’s unconscious body…
