God, I hoped so—
The door opened.
I peeped out the corner of my eye and saw him.
Yes.
He was only wearing a towel. It was pulled taut against his hips, the knot too tight for my liking.
His abs were made up of more muscles than I could count from the corner of my eye, and he had pecs that belonged to a hero in a movie.
Water was dripping all over him, too, in a secret invitation to my tongue to dry him off.
Digger cleared his throat. “You okay to rub some of that liniment on me?”
I nodded without looking at him as I got to my feet and reached for the tube while he took a seat.
Squirting some onto my fingers, I was careful on the already bruised flesh, but I gently worked it into his muscles, going around the ball of his shoulder but moving across his back and down to his bicep.
“That feels much better. God,” he growled under his breath, making me jump, but I carried on, working some more of the cream along his spine and over to the other side. He didn’t ask me to, but I liked touching him.
Hell, my teenage self was creaming in her panties over getting the chance to touch him in this way.
When I was done, I saw that he wasn’t as tense when he got to his feet.
“Thanks for that. Do you want me to do you?”
Do me?
Well, there was an invitation.
I blinked up at him, unsure if he was still talking about the Deep Heat or not. “No, I’m good. Thanks.”
“You sure?” He arched a brow. “You were exhausted and aching last night.”
“The soak helped.”
“If you say so. We’ve got another fourteen hours on the road,” he warned.
I died inside even though I’d been aware of that. We still had Utah and Arizona to get through, never mind Nevada.
“We’re going to eat first, aren’t we?”
Digger snorted. “Yeah, we are.”
I smiled. “Dumb question, really.”
“Seeing as I pack away three times as much as you, it was.”
“We’ll stop for coffee breaks?” I asked hopefully.
“We will.”
“Then, I’m fine.”
He chucked me on the chin. “You definitely are,” he rumbled, and those three words whispered down my spine.
Lord.
