I palm her hip, my hand already sliding low. “You’re insatiable.”
She purrs. “Takes one to know one, Thor.”
And God help me, I’m already gone again.
She wiggles against me again, teasing, testing. And yeah, I’m hard as hell, pressed up against her ass, but I don’t move to act on it. Not yet.
“Careful,” I murmur, brushing her hair off her shoulder. “You keep doing that and I’m gonna forget how to be a gentleman.”
She giggles. “I didn’t know truckers came with a gentleman mode.”
“I’m full of surprises.”
She stretches, arms above her head, spine arching just enough to make me clench my jaw. “Mmm,” she sighs. “Is it weird that I don’t want to get out of this truck? Like, ever?”
“Not weird at all.”
Silence for a beat. Just the soft breath of morning pressing against the walls of the truck, her body so close, too warm, too tempting.
Then she says, “So…are you ever going to tell me what you look like?”
I stiffen slightly. Her head tilts back toward me like she’s trying to read my expression. I’m glad she can’t.
“Eventually,” I say. “Just not yet.”
“Why not?”
I hesitate. “Because once you see me… everything might change.”
She’s quiet.
Then: “Is that a confession or a warning?”
“Maybe both.”
Another pause.
“What’s your worst-case scenario here?” she asks. “That I scream and run out of the truck because you’re hideous? That I find out you’re secretly my cousin or something?”
I groan. “God, please don’t say that.”
She laughs. “Well, you already told me you’re not married, not diseased, and not a murderer. So unless you’re my long-lost algebra tutor or secretly in witness protection, I think I can handle it.”
I rest my hand gently on her hip. “I believe you.”
“But?”
“But I don’t want you to see me and suddenly stop seeingthis.” I exhale, quieter now. “I haven’t felt like myself in a long time. With you, like this, it’s the first time I have.”
She goes still. Then she whispers, “You could have the face of a goat and I’d still want your voice in my ear.”
I smile, aching.
“That’s a first.”
She reaches behind her, fingers slipping between my thighs, wrapping lightly around me.
“Mmm. And then there’s this. Hard again already…”
