“No way.”
“Yes way.”
“Hannah.” I rub the back of my neck like I’m going to tear off skin. “We’re not camping. This isn’t up for discussion.”
“Mr. Bossy.” Her hands go to her sexy hips, and I swallow a groan. “I love the outdoors.”
“I thought you said you’d never camped before.”
“I haven’t. But I’ve always wanted to, and I love nature walks.” She heads for the driver’s side of the truck. “I’ll take the first leg of the day.”
“No way. I hate being a passenger.”
“Why does that fact not surprise me?” She smiles. “Okay, fine. We try camping tonight, but you can do all the driving. How’s that for a compromise?”
“That’s…”Why do I feel like she just won?“Let’s see where we end up. First, we need to stop and get you some clothes. You can’t wear mine all trip. And if it’s late, we’ll just stay at a motel.Tworooms,” I add firmly.
Hannah purses her lips together like she’s trying not to laugh. “Sure, two rooms. But if we camp—one tent, right? I’m scared of bears.”
I groan. Bears are the absolute last thing I’m worried about when camping with my stowaway turned copilot.

Hannah
As we hit the highway, Maverick and I spend the first fifteen minutes fighting over the radio.
He likes sports talk shows. Go figure.
“Pop music? Shit, Hannah.”
“What’s wrong with pop music? There’s a reason it’spopular. What do you like—alternative crap?”
His mouth lifts in a half-grin. “No, I don’t prefer crap.”
“Well, what do you suggest?”
He exhales. “How about a compromise?”
“Like what?”
He clenches his jaw, a sign that I’m learning means he’s thinking of a solution.
“Do you have any playlists on your phone?”
I pick my phone off the floor. “Of course.”
“Me, too.” He grabs his phone out of the console. “We’ll alternate. You choose a playlist. Then I do. Deal?”
He turns his head to look at me. And my heart drops into my stomach like I’m on the world’s scariest roller coaster.
That’s what Maverick Court does to me.
From his dark eyes to his slightly messy hair that he constantly runs his hands through, never mind his sinfully hot body, Maverick is ridiculously attractive.
Are all football players this hot? Maverick’s friend, Dylan, was also very handsome. And so was their blond friend from the courthouse. Maverick told me that guy was Dylan’s cousin, Colton, and that the three of them were teammates in college. So the Wild cousins are super-hot. And according to Maverick, all three guys are single.
And yet…
