That I managed not to speed-walk was a minor victory.

“When is this happening, GQ?” Her voice was thick with laughter.

I’d worry about that after I took an ice cold shower. “I’ll be in touch.”

Damn my impulsive mouth.

As I crossed the grass to my beloved bus, I left the swing in my step to prove I’d meant what I said.

I didn’t. I was an idiot.

He wasn’t looking in my direction, anyway. He was escaping for his cute little house.

Cute houses were my downfall. And hot guys in uniform.

Or out of it.

He was going to be my brother-in-law in a few weeks. Okay, a month.Ish.My sister was dragging her heels on the actual date.

Normally, I’d be following her lead. I typically wanted to sprint to the county line when someone mentioned settling down, but my sister wasn’t built like me. She liked order and knowing what was coming. For God’s sake, she actually used her spreadsheet apps daily.

I wasn’t sure how we’d come out of the same womb.

My idea of collecting receipts was a shoebox and a prayer during tax time. The fact that my receipts were overflowing this year was also a new thing.

As was my new acquisition.

I patted the rusty skoolie I’d bought on a whim. Well, it would be a skoolie when I was done with it. Right now it was a gutted vintage school bus held together with a bunch of plywood and stapled fabric.

I plopped my butt on my chair on my actual property.

Mine. Signed on the dotted line and all.

Also a wild new part of my life. But I wasn’t too worried about it. I could rent it out as a camper space if I wanted to get back out on the road.

Even with the new—actually, quite old—school bus waiting for a wild excursion, I didn’t have my usual urge to hop in the driver seat and head on to the next adventure.

I liked the quirky town my sister called home with her Hot Cop.

I wasn’t sure about his brother.

Said brother was walking across his football field-sized front lawn very fast with the cutest dog on the planet under his arm like a football. I’d caught Officer Studly trying to hide the cute little bow on her head, and somehow that made it all the sweeter.

Nope.

He wasn’t sweet.

He had a smart mouth wrapped in a super hot package. Including one other package that made my stupid and very impulsive tongue agree to the orgasm bet.

It had been a damn long time since I’d had anything that size near me that wasn’t silicone-wrapped. In this town, it was the safest form of sexual activity. The Cove was almost its own episode of theTwilight Zone. It didn’t seem to matter what kind of contraceptive methods both parties used, the babies kept manifesting.

Hmm.

Maybe that would be a way to get around things.

Would Officer Delicious prefer to fuck me blind with Mr. Blue Bonanza? That way neither of us could worry about the little blue lines on an EPT.
