Fuck. Where is this tow truck?I should’ve offered more money to get it heresooner.
“You trying to insinuate something?” I brace myself for the impact she’s about to giveme.
“Damn straight Iam.”
I swallow down my guilt. “Care toelaborate?”
“People get their hearts broken. People lose people. No offense, but it happens every day. Every minute. That’s no excuse to act like a dick. You were a dick to me. Hell,allmen are dicks if you’re not letting them give you theirs. That’s when they’re nice andcomforting.”
“I’ll apologize again for my dickdom. Hurt people don’t always intend to hurt other people. That’s not my intention. Trust me, I’d never want anyone to go through the hell I’m goingthrough.”
Her attention moves to the back window as headlights pull up behind us. Perfect timing to end this conversation. Intimate conversations with Willow are high risk for me. I’m a man of few words, and it seems I always choose the worst ones withher.
I grip the door handle. “Don’t get out of this truck, headlight-chaser.”
I meet the man in the middle of our trucks. He’s sporting a parka and blackboots.
“Nice day out here, huh?” he asks, thrusting his hand myway.
“For a duck,” I mutter back, shaking hishand.
“It’s about to get worse forya.”
Of course. The day goes more toshit.
Instead of asking why, I wait for him toelaborate.
“I can’t work in this weather,” he says. “It’s dangerous, and they’re talking about possible tornados.” He whistles. “Half of the town’s power is out due to the storm. Our mechanic went home to his family ’cause of it, but I’ll ask him to come in first thing in the morning to fixthis.”
“Fuck. You’ve got to be kiddingme.”
He takes a step closer while chewing on a toothpick. “Wish I were. If it helps, I can give you a ride to the motel a few blocks down from theshop.”
I slap him on the shoulder. “Appreciate it.” I nod toward his truck. “You happen to have an umbrella inthere?”
“Suredo.”
“Thanks,man.”
I jump back into my truck with the umbrella in my hand, ready to hear Willow rip my head off when I tell her we’ll be having a sleepover tonight. I open my mouth when reality cuts through me.How am I going to handle a sleepover?I grind my teeth. This is a small town. They’ll no doubt have more than one room available. I jumped the gun with the thought that we’d besharing.
She’s relaxed in the leather seat with her bare feet resting on the dashboard. I can’t stop myself from giving her a once-over. Her soaking T-shirt has been replaced with a rose-colored lace tank top that showcases her cleavage. Her breasts are small, but that doesn’t mean they don’t excite my dick. They fit perfectly in my hands thatnight.
“Everything okay?” sheasks.
I jerk my chin up, my throat tight. “He’s giving us a ride intotown.”
“Perfect. How long will it take them to fixit?”
“Tilltomorrow.”
Her legs drop from the dashboard faster than Maven comes running when I mention ice cream. “What?” she shrieks. “Where are we supposed tosleep?”
“There’s a motel a few blocks down from the repairshop.”
“Can’t we take an Uber back home and then pick it up in themorning?”
I smirk. “Ubers don’t go to Blue Beech,babe.”
