I smile and realize that I’m not a pretty sight. My lips are swollen from Jack’s kisses, my boobs poke out at him from between my bra and shirt, and my jeans and panties hang loose around one leg. I start to laugh as I look at myself.
“You’re always more presentable than me,” I grumble, but with humor.
“I keep telling you to wear a dress or a skirt for easy access.”
“And what about when you say, ‘Show me your tits’. You do realize that it wouldn’t surprise me if Winter’s first words are the same.”
He rolls his eyes. “Seriously, honey? Her first word is going to be daddy.” He smirks.
“Whatever.”
He chuckles and helps me climb back into my seat. He also dresses me so that he can arouse me all over again with his slow caresses, until I smack his hands away. “None of that. We’ve pushed our luck out here so far.” I glance out the window but can’t see anything because they are steamed up. “Where are we anyway?”
Jack ignores me and turns the truck back on. The heaters start to clear the windows when my eyes widen. “Oh, my God, Jack! We’re on the side of the road.”
“It’s hardly ever used. I’d never risk anyone seeing you naked.” He leans over and kisses my cheek before pulling me into his arms. “We’re going to have an early night with the kids tonight. It’s cold so we need to snuggle down.”
“Is that right?”
“Of course, babe.” Jack gives my hand one last squeeze. “We’ll have to behave while my parents are there, but after a couple of hours of having Leigh chatting away, they’ll be glad to leav
e as soon as we get there.”
“You hope,” I add.
“We’ll see.” He pulls back onto the road, and asks, “So, what do you think about Robin working at Kix now that you’ve seen Leo?”
I chuckle. “Reece is going to drive Callie nuts because I have a feeling that Robin and Leo will be getting it on before too long…and there’s that storage room in the back.”
“Fond memories,” Jack says but not before he wiggles around in his seat.
“I can’t wait to see someone else fall in love at Kix.”
“I hope Robin is prepared for her brother.”
Robin
I hid out in the storage room in the back of Kix as soon as I discovered Leo working behind the bar. It had been a shock and I still can’t believe that he’s here. What’s wrong with the man?
Leo has tried to sweet talk me into dating him for the past four months. He’s even gone so far as to offer me a night of hot sex to help me make up my mind. It’s not that I’m not interested, it’s that I promised myself that I wouldn’t date until I finished school. I’ve worked hard to get were I am, and for the scholarship, so I don’t want to blow it by getting distracted. But he distracts me and has done so from the moment I spotted the dark haired, bearded guy across campus. He’s tall and when he speaks to me I have to look up, and then I’d get distracted by his vivid blue eyes, not to mention his full, red lips. I’ve spent many a night imagining his mouth doing wicked things to my body. So why do I continue to reject him?
At first he seemed to accept my answer with a smile and amusement, but toward the last time I saw him, the light had started to dim and that bothered me, and constantly played on my mind.
I told myself that the next time I saw him I would give the guy a break and say yes, but then he hasn’t been around. I looked and asked around but no one had known where he’d disappeared to…and now here he is…working in the roadhouse that my half-sister’s husband owns.
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
I’ve never been bothered by a man before, and he really is a man in every sense of the word. His beard makes him look older than his twenty-three years, but I know his age and more. There is no boy buried beneath his exterior and that gives me a funny kind of feeling in my belly.
My hand unconsciously presses against my chest to calm my nerves at just the thought of being near him again. I haven’t been in the storage room for long, and I certainly can’t hide in here all night. I’ve never hidden from anyone in my life, so why have I started now?
I know why. Because Leo Williams makes my toes curl with desire and for once in my life I want to throw all caution to the wind and really feel what it’s like to have his arms around me, his mouth claiming mine.
Leaning against the wall, I let my head drop back as I close my eyes, praying for calm.
Calm isn’t something that Reece will feel when he discovers that I know Leo and the attraction that is there between us. He’ll go insane. Although he’s a lot calmer than he used to be, thanks to his wife, Callie, he can still be a pain in the ass. I sigh, and acknowledge that my brother has his heart in the right place.
But right now I need to get my act together before I have to face Leo so that I don’t make an absolute fool of myself. But what will I say to him?
