“Never a dull moment. You never know, maybe you’ll want to?—”
She doesn’t get to finish her words before he slams a finger over her lips.
“I can promise you this, I’ll be more than happy to hand it back to you,” he says with a smile, his eyes moving to Pen. “My priorities have changed.”
He moves away, going to stand next to Francesca. His arm wraps around her shoulder as he pulls her into his side.
“Kat’s in good hands,” he says, his eyes meeting mine.
“I know, it’s just…” she tails off before she finishes.
“I’m only going for a couple of weeks,” Kat says. “I promise to call, write, whatever you want.”
Pen chuckles. “Let Jax get on the road, or they’ll get caught in rush hour traffic.”
I shoot her a grateful look.
I open the door so Kat can get in, closing it behind her.
“Ready?” I ask, climbing into the driver’s seat.
Kat turns to look at me, her eyes looking heavenward. “About twenty minutes ago,” she chuckles.
“Okay then, let’s get this show on the road.”
I fire up the engine and pull away, watching Kat’s family wave us off.
Kat sits in silence, her eyes locked on the scenery outside the window.
The drive north takes four plus hours.
Kat is quiet. Too quiet.
“Are you in pain? We can stop if you are.”
“No pain, I promise. If there is, I’ll tell you,” she says, her voice tired and snappy. She pinches the bridge of her nose. “I’m sorry. I’m not a good patient.” She sighs.
“You’ve been better than I anticipated,” I say truthfully.
Kat pushes my arm, and I grin.
“What? I would have thought you’d have found relinquishing control a lot harder.”
Her eyes darken, her tongue snaking out to moisten her lips. My cock hardens instantly, my mind wandering back to her relinquishing control to me. How she screamed out, as her orgasm ripped through her.
“There’s a time and a place,” she says, her eyes suddenly sparkling.
I swallow hard as her hand comes to rest on my thigh.
Interlocking our fingers, I lift them to my lips, catching her smile out of the corner of my eye.
Kat yawns and I recline her seat, putting up the heating to ensure she’s warm enough. It’s not long before her breathing deepens and I realise she’s gone to sleep.
She’s still asleep when I put the car into park in front of a large set of gates.
Kat opens her eyes slowly, turning her head towards me.
“Sorry,” she says. “I fell asleep. Great travelling companion, I am.”
