“Stay under the blanket,” I murmur to Sophie, then cautiously peek out.
Just like he said, we’re a hundred feet from the barricades originally set for the parade. They’re not allowing any vehicles in or out. Fuck.
“Get us as close as you can without attracting attention. I’ll handle the rest.”
“Okay.”
Moments later, the cart rolls to a stop. It’s nothing Dustin says or does, but I feel his panic. “They’re staring.”
And he doesn’t know what to do. Any moment, they’ll approach and tell him he can’t go through the barricade without being interrogated. I can’t claim that either Sophie or I need medical attention. They’ll rustle up an EMT, who will debunk our excuse for leaving the area.
I have to come up with a Plan B.
“What’s going on?” Sophie asks from under the blanket.
“You better now?”
“Somewhat. Thanks. Sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. We have a problem. We have to get away from here fast…and I only have one idea how.”
“What is it?”
“Play along.”
Before she can ask more questions, I shove the blanket down to her waist, haul her against my chest, and kiss her.
She stiffens, sucking in a shocked little gasp. Then she softens, slowly opening to me, one breath, one moment at a time. Because she remembers our situation? Or because she likes it? I can’t mind-fuck myself by answering that. Right now, I have to focus on getting her to safety.
But the temptation to press myself onto the softness of her pillowy red lips is one I can’t resist. Jesus, they’re like a cushion for my questing mouth.
It’s overkill for the situation, but I nudge her lips apart and sink inside. Then I step even farther over the line and plunge deep.
Holy shit.
Sophie is fucking sweet. I detect a hint of cherry flavor I can’t help but chase with my tongue. She’s sensual as she pulls me in, welcoming me and clutching my shoulders with a breathy moan. I grab her tighter, gripping her closer, and sink completely into her waiting mouth, desperate to be inside her in any way she’ll let me.
“There a problem?” I hear a deep, unfamiliar voice ask.
“Um…” Dustin croaks. “I was just giving a ride to these folks who, ah…”
“Want some privacy,” I say as I reluctantly twist myself from Sophie’s lush lips and bury her too-familiar face in my shoulder. “Can we get by? Please, man. Please.”
He sends me a disapproving stare. “Did you see the shooting? Or anyone suspicious?”
“No. I was, um…involved with my girlfriend.” I cradle Sophie’s head, covering her face.
“You got any ID?”
I pretend to pat my pockets, then huff. “Son of a bitch. I left my wallet in my car.”
“What about your girlfriend? She got her driver’s license?”
Sophie wisely shakes her head but doesn’t lift it or say a word. Instead, she pretends interest in me, trailing her lips up my neck.
It’s all I can do to keep my head in the game and not shudder in pleasure. But I feel her touch all the way down my spine.
“She didn’t bring a purse.” I curl my arms around her again. “Dude, really. I just want to be alone with my girl. You know how it is. C’mon… If I knew anything, I’d tell you.”
