Fee was bouncing around on the seat behind me. Was she having a cramp? Then, she suddenly thumped my side—hard.

I slowed down enough until I could hear her over the noise.

“Stop. Alex, you need to stop right now.”

I slowed down to a stop. Turned around and looked at her. She looked like she was in pain, and her face was beet red.

“What’s wrong?”

She stared down, avoiding my eyes.

“Eyes on me.”

Her gaze snapped up.

“What’s going on?”

“I need to pee.”

I exhaled. For a moment, I thought there was something seriously wrong. I glanced around. There was exactly nothing but countryside surrounding us.

“Couldn’t have done your business back at the tavern, could you?”

She scowled at me.

I sighed. “Well, go pee then.”

She looked around and then glared at me. “I can’t.”

I narrowed my eyes. “I thought you needed to go?”

“Alex,” she whined. “I can’t just go, wherever.”

Fuck me.

She was a woman… pissing standing up and facing away from me wouldn’t work. I looked at her, then at the bike, then at our surroundings.

Fuck this.

I put the bike on the stand, helped her off, then squared off with her. “I can’t make a bush appear, but I can promise you I will shield you.”

She sighed but was bouncing around—probably needed to go something fierce.

“Princess,” I grabbed her jaw. “Just go—it’s nature, nothing to be ashamed of.”

She groaned, then handed me her crossbody bag. “Turn around and cover your ears.”

I chuckled, then did as ordered, acutely aware of her squatting down not far from me. I focused on both sides of the road, but she got lucky.

There wasn’t any traffic—nobody but me to witness her.

And the fact that she trusted me enough made me feel better than I should feel, considering Fiona Donnelly just peed in front of me.

She wouldn’t meet my eyes when we mounted the bike again and kept on going.

We reached the city and cruised through the narrow cobblestone streets of Valletta, ancient stone buildings towering overhead and providing sporadic shade from the afternoon sun, the city almost as breathtaking as the woman clinging to me.

Fuck. Stop.
