When she lifted her head, her hair that had seemed smooth a minute before was in total disarray. He cupped her nape. Tenderness washed through him.
“Ugh. I really could use some caffeine.”
“I’ve got a couple packs of instant coffee in my bag. Just add water.”
“By water you mean that stuff dripping off an icicle on the mountain?”
“Can’t get more pure.”
She laughed. “You’re such a liar. Everyone knows that anything that falls from the sky is full of pollution.”
“What would you say to a truck stop shower?”
She met his gaze. “I’d say I forgot my flip-flops. Is there an alternative?”
He pointed to the trickle of an icy mountain spring zigzagging down the mountainside.
She shivered. “I’ll risk the foot fungus.”
“That’s my girl.”
She climbed off him and looked around the Humvee. Her panties were hanging off the rearview mirror where they’d landed after Tripp stripped them off her.
She shook her head slowly. “I can’t believe the night we had. What was I thinking?”
He pinched her chin lightly, swinging her head toward him. “You were thinking about having the best night of your life. With me.”
Sucking in a breath, she held his gaze for a long heartbeat. “You’re right, Bryson. It was the best night of my life.”
His chest swelled with a brand of passion he hadn’t experienced before. The air caught in his throat, making it difficult to fill his lungs. What he saw shimmering in her eyes…it had him second-guessing his sanity.
This was just sex. Fun to release some steam and celebrate the fact that they were alive.
Swooping in, he kissed her softly, brushing his mouth over hers, swishing back and forth several times.
When they pulled apart, her eyes were half-lidded with a look of desire he was becoming well-acquainted with.
She gave herself a small shake. “I’d better get my panties off the mirror.”
He chuckled despite the tightness in his chest. “I think the government frowns upon ornaments hanging from the mirror.”
When she shifted forward, reaching across the front of the vehicle to snag them, Tripp got a very good view of what he’d be missing out on as soon as they went their separate ways.
Her round ass tormented the hell out of him, as did the delicious shadow between her legs where he’d bury his cock.But what he really wanted more of was that look in her eyes when she told him she’d had the best night of her life.
With him.
Only being out of condoms kept him from dragging her down on his lap to sit on his cock. He would definitely be stocking up on condoms at the truck stop, though.
While she scrambled to dress in the back seat, he stepped outside to brave the elements. The cold, exhilarating air didn’t begin to slake his lust, and he climbed behind the wheel with a stiffy that never eased up the entire drive to the truck stop.
The showers were as expected. The coffee mediocre.
Alexia’s grumpiness level hovered around a solid seven out of ten, which surprised him after they’d slept in an SUV.
When they were back on the road, she checked her phone. “The local PD emailed the case file to Eric last night, but they have the hard copy for me that I requested. Can we swing by the station before we leave town?”
Leave town. Their time would be over soon. Would their paths ever cross again? It was unlikely, even with her investigating cold cases. The only reason they met in the first place was her belief that he was somehow involved in Kelsey’s case.
