Exhausted and frustrated, my tone may be a little over the top. “I’m sorry. Would you like to stop for a while? Find a room?”

As I glance off the road, Rose’s mouth drops open. “You do realize this is the first time you’ve asked me what I want to do?”

Thinking back on all our interactions, my face heats. “I’m used to being in charge.”

She squeezes my knee and smiles. “No worries. God, what I wouldn’t give to get out of this car and take a long hot shower. Then I would sleep for twelve hours straight.”

Her forgiveness and sweet grin strike not only my heart, but my cock, as well. “We have to agree to one bedroom. I need to keep my eye on you.” I don’t mean the phrase to come out sexual.

“That’s fine with me.” The tip of her tongue licks her lower lip and the moment we lock gazes, I’m hooked. “We’ve been driving for hours, surely no one knows what we’re up to.”

Again, with the double meanings. My lust-filled Louisville slugger crams at my fly, waiting for a home run but this is not the time or the place. Any drug lord worth his salt will be scouring the planet for her but we should be safe. A former cow path, this road runs parallel to the main drag and will take us to Shelbourne.

Soon, we check into a bed and breakfast where a square-shaped woman smiles behind the desk. “You’re lucky. We just had a cancellation.”

I sign us in as Mr. and Mrs. Pope and show her a fake driver’s license I keep in my wallet for emergencies. I’m praying an out of the way place like this won’t have much in the way of cloud technology. Unless we do something stupid, no one should be able to track us.

She hands us a quart of chowder, round crackers, and two chocolate chip cookies before walking us up to our room. If she thinks it weird we have no suitcases, she’s nice enough not to mention it.

“I’ll sleep on the floor. You can have the bed.” I wait at the bathroom door.

Unlike most women, she does her business fast, flushes, and steps out so I can relieve myself, too. She’s always thinking of others. This thought digs at the hard shell protecting my heart. Even more so when she folds down the covers.

“Hey, if you’re worried I’ll seduce you, sleep on top.”

“Okay, sure.” With my prosthetic on, I won’t sleep, but it’s better than getting into a pity party at this hour of the night. Maybe I’ll remove it, put my alarm on, and attach it before she wakes.

“Dibs on the shower.” Grinning, she races back and while the water runs, I picture her naked and moan.

My hard-on swells more when she returns wrapped in a small towel. “I saved the bigger one for you.”

Her eyes drift south to the bulge in my pants and as they widen, I swallow hard. Damn, she’s beautiful. Her scent, her smile, her body…

Fuck, her everything drives me wild. “We shouldn’t.” With her dark centers mirroring my desire, I take a step forward.

“Agreed.” Inching toward me, chin up, her lips part.

God help me, I press mine to hers and like the other two times we kissed, we combust. My hands dig into her wet hair and as she reaches for my neck, the towel falls to the floor.

Paying it no mind, she grinds her lower body against my aching need.

“You sure?” My heart stops as I wait. If she says no, I’ll need a cold shower and sleep in the car.

“Yesss…” Her long legs wrap around my waist as my hands run up and down her spine.

The soft skin under my palms sets off a napalm bomb in my brain. Primal desire takes over as I kiss her senseless. I need this woman more than my next breath.

Ankles locked above my butt, she unzips my hoodie and tears off my shirt. After it flies over my head, her short nails dig into my biceps, and she smashes her chest to mine. With her hardened tits crushed to my body, she reaches behind my head and pulls my mouth back to hers.

Groaning, I press her against the wall and as I thrust my tongue into her invitation, she cups my head, and holds me in place.

Animal instincts, older than time, take hold as I unzip my jeans and only as I drop them to my knees, do I remember my prosthetic and pull up one side.

“I’m clean.”

“On the pill. Tested recently.”

“Thank you, Jesus.” While I free my length, she hooks one leg over my hip and stands on the other.
