Adam didn’t even try and hide his amusement. He tipped his head back and laughed his ass off. It was a sight to see.

Lucy couldn’t take her eyes off him. It’d been a long time since she’d seen him let loose like that. It suited him. Like a lot.

Edna gave her a grin. “I can see now why you let him put his boots under your bed, girl. I’m gonna have to change your name,” she said to Adam.

Adam cocked a brow. “My name?”

“I had you three boys as Happy, Grumpy, and Surly.”

He made a choking sound. “Which one am I?”

“Surly.”

Lucy clapped a hand over her mouth to hide her giggles, but there was no containing them. Not hard to guess which of her brothers was Grumpy.

“I’ll have to have a think on that,” she said and backed up a step. “Maybe Dirty.” She winked. “Catch ya on the flip side.” Then her door slammed shut and she was gone.

“Surly?” Adam said after a few seconds, lips lifted on one side. “Surely not.”

Lucy pressed closer. “I think she had it right the second time. Dirty sounds about right.”

“You love it.” His hands slid down to her butt and squeezed.

“I’m not even going to try and deny it,” she said, ready to tug him back into the trailer and have her wicked way with him.

Going by the look on his face he was thinking the same thing.

His phone beeped in his pocket and he groaned, resting his forehead against hers as he pulled it out to check it. “Joe,” he murmured. “Wants me to pick up some parts on my way to the garage this morning.”

“You better go.”

“Yeah.” He shoved it back in his pocket, gaze sliding up and latching onto hers. “Tonight?”

“Yep.”

He pressed his lips to hers briefly and when he pulled back his breath was unsteady. “Catch ya later, Luce.”

Lucy stood there and watched him get into his car and drive away.

Hope, that faithless cow, sat up and did the polka behind her ribs. She wanted to ignore it, but it was too late now. This weekend together had changed everything for her.

She just hoped Adam felt the same way.
