Least of all, in an abandoned old house. The one on the hill overlooking the valley, I’m guessing.

Jasmine needs to powder her nose, and instead of keeping such an obvious guard of the ladies' room door, I browse the little shopping aisles the diner has, laid out like a mini grocery store.

Charging like Fifth Avenue…But hey, the money was free, and we’re gonna need supplies.

Loaded up and keeping an eye on the door for Jasmine at the same time, I think we could survive on a few baskets of rations for a day or two.

I’m good to go by the time Jasmine appears, but I must look as shocked as I feel.

She’s wearing a totally different outfit and has a hat and mittens on, making me almost not recognize her.

She’s also managed to dry her hair and looks a lot happier than when we pulled up.

But how?

“There’s a little craft, gift shop thingy,” she explains, noticing my intense look of disapproval once I realize she’s been wandering around on her own while I shopped.

“Through the…, the ladies’ room has another door,” she explains, looking taken aback.

So I guess I have to explain something. Two things, really.

Holding the nape of her neck as I guide her with me to the checkout, I remind her we’re on the run and from something far more dangerous than the law.

Second?

“Plus, I want to keep my eyes on you every second I can. Don’t just take off without me, okay?” I ask, sliding my hand down her back, resting it on her hip as she mews an apology.

“And don’t say sorry,” I feel like telling her, but I don’t.

I’m not trying to be a controlling asshole. I just need her to follow some rules until we can get….

Get where? Do what?

The only two real questions I should be asking myself. But Jasmine’s so damned infatuating, and I’m still yet to claim her properly.

I don’t think I’ll have a clear thought until I’ve filled her with my seed.

At least one baby in the chamber oughta do it.

“Where to now?” she asks, reading my mind as she helps with the paper sacks of supplies.

“I think there’s a place nearby we can camp out in until tomorrow,” I murmur, glancing around into the drizzling weather, almost wishing we were being followed.

It would justify this growing paranoia, but it’s pretty clear nobody’s tailing us.

All this cloak and dagger stuff is starting to get old.

I just want to relax and let nature take its course with Jasmine.

And from the look in her eye as I help her back into the car, I know she’s thinking the exact same thing.

CHAPTERTHIRTEEN

Jasmine

I feel bad for disappearing on Rocco, even for just a few minutes.

I know he’s right about us needing to be more careful, but I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I was soaked to the bone and half-frozen.
