“Tristan,” I say, my hand going to my mouth. “Pull over.”

Oh, this is going to suck so bad.

I will never be able to look at this man again.

Ever.

Hey, that’ll solve this stupid infatuation issue.

Tristan pulls over on the side of the road. I open the door, sticking the top half of my body out. I feel so nauseated.

I inhale deeply, waiting for the sickness to come, but it doesn’t, and instead Tristan is here, beside me, pushing my hair back. “Are you okay?”

What universe am I living in?

Did he seriously get out of the truck and come around to help me? No. This is a dream. I’m clearly so damn drunk I don’t even have a grip on reality.

It’s the only reasonable explanation for any of this.

Drunk or dreaming.

I will say, if I am dreaming, this is really unfair. Who the hell wants to dream about puking—almost puking—on the side of the road?

Not me.

I’d much prefer a sexy dream with orgasms.

“Good to know,” Tristan chuckles.

I gasp and cover my mouth with my hand. “I did not say that.”

“Sexy dreams and orgasms. You definitely said it.”

I can feel the heat of embarrassment climbing up my face. “Wake up, wake up, wake up,” I say to myself.

“This is awake,” he informs me.

Of course it is.

“I’m never drinking tequila again,” I moan, heaving myself into my seat, my head falling back against the headrest.

“Has the nausea passed?”

I nod, creaking my eye open just a touch and seeing his gorgeous face there. “For now.”

“You think I’m gorgeous?”

“No!” I deny quickly.

He smirks. “I’m pretty sure that’s what you said.”

I hate myself right now. “I didn’t.”

“Ya did.”

I roll my eyes. “You promised not to talk.”

“Ahh, but you talked to me first.”
