Reno,Nevada, to Cripple Creek, Colorado, is no easy road trip. Let the record show that if you can survive a sixteen-hour car ride with a man, he is definitely marriage material. The first day of driving, I didn’t think we were going to make it.
Foxy whined for hours, his driving was utter shit, and the weather was horrible. By the time we made it to Salt Lake City, I was ready to blow the truck up. But then he pinned me against the shower wall and adjusted my attitude rather nicely.
“What are you smiling about?” I blink and look at him.
“Remembering the shower last night.” He grins and adjusts his junk very deliberately.
“That reminds me. I had a very interesting conversation with Hannah.” Wait what?
“When? How? Why?” He chuckles at the last one.
“After I dropped Wolf off. Someone in that crazy compound gave her kids to look after. I was concerned for their welfare, so I hung around to observe.” I laugh at his way of describing the events.
“So she cornered you and emasculated you?” He nods, laughing.
“YES! Why the fuck does she call me dickless?” I snort.
“I may have ranted about not getting laid.” He frowns.
“Excuse me?” I cover my face so he can’t see me flushing.
“Listen, it had been a long week, and you were not putting out! I believe it was Lacey who mentioned maybe you were a eunuch. It kind of caught on.” I peek out my fingers at him just as his chest starts to shake and laughter blows out of him.
Foxy starts barking, and Malachi pulls off the highway quickly to gather himself.
“Gods, Azizam. You women are worse than men.” I smile.
If he only knew.
“That explains why she was searching my crotch so damn hard.” He gets out of the truck and leaves me with my mouth open at that comment.
“She what?” I swing around in the front seat to speak to him through the now-open trunk.
Foxy jumps out to pee, and he stands watching her while he answers my question with his arms crossed to ward off the cold wind. It’s been lightly snowing for the last few miles.
“Mmm, walked right on over to me with a baby in her arms, checking my shit out. I’ve never felt so violated.” I roll my eyes and face forward when Foxy jumps back into the truck.
I crank the heat for him, and we get back on the road. The GPS says we’re only two hours away.
“Does he know that we’re coming?” I bite my lip, feeling nervous.
“Jared Savage does not own any communication devices.” What the fuck?
“It’s almost the twenty-second century. He doesn’t have a cellphone?” He shakes his head.
“No phones, computers, televisions, radios, or technology of any kind.” He turns his face to me with dramatic eyes and whispers his next words.
“They’re listening.” His eyebrows go up and down.
“Stop fucking with me.” He laughs, shaking his head.
“I promise, I’m not. Jared is a recluse to the third degree. A naturalist and anti-technology to the point it’s a phobia. I honestly believe he keeps a truck for when the snow gets too deep, he can clear a path for the horses.” Wow.
“When was the last time you saw him?” I do the math in my head quickly.
We’ve been seeing each other for five months.
“Last year. I try to get out here twice yearly.” I nod and chew on a fingernail.
