His brow furrowed. “What? Sex?”
I smiled since it was such a guy thing to ask. “No, the aftermath. I never thought you’d be one for cuddling or sweet words.”
His arms tightened around me. “I’m not, usually.”
His expression was conflicted, like he didn’t want to feel this way, but he couldn’t help himself. I liked that a lot.
“I’m glad.” I wanted him to be himself, whatever that was. Together, we were everything I’d hoped we could be. If only he could see it too. We had more than just chemistry or good sex. We fit together, even if it didn’t make sense to us or anyone else.
What we had was special. Unique. And I wanted more. So much more. More than he was willing to give me. But I’d take whatever he had to offer.
I knew better than to voice anything I was thinking or feeling out loud. It would only scare him. And I didn’t want the night to end.
I was warm and content. My eyes drifted closed. I’d rest for just a minute. Then we’d get up and go our separate ways. I just needed a few more seconds in the warmth of his arms.
His breath tickled my hair; his hand continued to stroke the strands of my hair, lulling me to sleep.
Sometime later, I startled awake. The world was silent. The rain must have stopped. There was a crick in my neck from sleeping on Jake’s chest, which rose and fell under my cheek.
The light was on, but it was dark inside the car. It smelled like rain, dirt, and grease. Jake hadn’t showered between the garage and my house, but I didn’t mind.
The smell would always remind me of him.
I closed my eyes again, willing myself back to sleep. I didn’t want to wake Jake or remind him that he needed to leave.
This moment could extend forever, and I wouldn’t do anything to stop it.
Thunder rumbled in the distance.
“Should we make a run for it?”
I shifted so I could see his face. “I didn’t know you were awake.”
“The sound of thunder woke me.” He moved to a seated position, cradling me between his legs.
It felt good to be bare. Vulnerable was a good look on him.
Jake patted the leather seat that had seen better days. “I love this car, but I think we’d be more comfortable in a bed.”
“You want to stay over?” The words were out before I could stifle them, the disbelief in my tone frozen in the space between us.
He brushed a strand of hair out of my face. “I’m not ready for the night to be over.”
“Me neither.” His cock was already hardening between us.
“Let’s go before the rain starts up again.” He tapped his fingers on my hip, and I took that as my cue to climb out of the car. I searched the floor for my dress, then pulled it over my head.
When I turned, Jake wore his jeans slung so low on his hips I could see the V of his muscles pointing downward. I was almost positive he wasn’t wearing briefs underneath.
His shirt was crumpled in his hands, and he was stuffing his feet into his boots. Then he held his hand out. “Ready?”
I grabbed my bra, not finding my panties, and toed on my flip-flops. I curled my fingers around his.
We paused at the doorway to turn off the lights and close the doors. I’d never look at the car or the barn the same way again. The place would always be special to me. Once the doors clanged shut, Jake grabbed my hand, and we took off for the porch just as the first large drops of water came down.
“Hurry!” he yelled over the wind picking up.
We slipped as we ran, laughing as we went. When we finally made it to the wooden steps, we paused to catch our breath.
