“I told you you can’t pull over on the highway in a snowstorm,” she said. “You might get plowed in.”
“Thanks.”
She gave his shoulder a playful shove and smiled, her profile bathed in the blue light of the dashboard. “Little late to be thanking me. You should’ve listened before.”
“I had other things on my mind.”
“That’s not your mind.”
“It is when I’m around you,” he said with a grin.
Katie looked at him full-on, the impact of her smile enough to make his heart hurt.
Mine.
But even as some primitive, senseless part of him claimed her, he knew rationally it wouldn’t last. Couldn’t. He was borrowing time.
“I don’t suppose you have a shovel in the back I didn’t notice earlier,” she said.
“Nope.”
“You have Triple A?”
“Nope.”
“Me, neither.”
Sean got his phone out, determined the location of the closest tow service, and gave them a call. Katie got off his lap and went back to her own seat, which was more comfortable but less enjoyable.
When he hung up, she asked, “A few hours?” She’d been listening to the call.
“They’re busy.”
“Any point in trying another place?”
“It’s snowing all over New York.”
“So probably not much point.”
“Probably not.” He could think of a lot of fates worse than a few hours stuck here with Katie.
“About those parameters,” she said, biting her lip.
Shit.
“Yeah?”
“We’re going to have to talk them over sometime.” She leaned closer and grabbed a fistful of his sweater, pulling him close for a swift kiss. “But I’m fairly sure your car is a parameter-free zone.”
“Thank you,” he said, and he kissed her back, cupping a breast in his hand.
She smiled against his mouth. “I’m not doing you a favor. I expect you to make this worth my while.”
“I will, I p-promise.” He kissed her neck, her jaw, the space behind her ear. The last one made her shiver, and he filed that away. Useful information.
When his thumb found her nipple again, she inhaled hard. “The seats fold down, you say?”
“Mmm-hmm. And I have half a dozen c-condoms in my bag. Want me to show you all the nasty things I can do to you in a parameter-free zone?”
