“All right, darlin’. We’ll get going. Everyone, have a good evening.” Brett took JoJo’s hand, and they walked outside.
“I love Morgans too. They have a wonderful temperament.”
“Yes. They’ve always been a favorite breed of mine.”
Brett held the door for her as she climbed into the truck, then shut the door. After climbing behind the wheel, he looked at her to see her staring at him.
“I need a kiss,” he whispered.
She smiled, moved across the console, kissed him, then slid back into her seat.
“That’ll do for now.” He nodded.
“I’ll do more for you when we get home.” JoJo laughed when he grinned.
He started the truck, checked traffic, pulled onto the street, and headed home.
As he turned onto the road leading to his home, he saw headlights behind him, and they seemed to close in on him fast. The headlights lit up the entire cab of Brett’s truck. He tapped his brakes to make himself more visible, but the vehicle came up behind him at a high rate of speed.
“What is that?” JoJo asked him.
“I think a pickup truck. It came up behind us fast. From out of nowhere.” Brett glanced into the rearview mirror.
“Maybe they’ll pass when they get a chance.”
“Maybe,” Brett murmured, but he didn’t think so. “Shit.”
“What?”
“He’s right on my ass. If I have to hit the brakes, he’ll be in the truck’s bed.”
The truck flashed its lights, sped around him, then pulled in front of him and slowed down, making Brett hit the brakes. JoJo placed her hand on the dash to stop her forward motion.
“What the fuck?”
“It’s Rich,” JoJo whispered.
“What?”
“It’s him. I know it is. He’s trying to scare us.”
“Can you make out the tag?”
“Yes.” She wrote it down.
“I’m going to let him get a little ahead of us. I’ll pull into the first road I see and wait to see if he comes back this way.”

JoJo was terrified. It was Rich. She had no doubt. She wasn’t sure what he would do, but he was scaring her.
When Brett slowed the truck, the vehicle in front took off. Brett pulled into a driveway and shut the lights off.
They sat there for a few minutes, looking out the back window. JoJo gasped when the truck went back in the direction they’d come.
“I know it’s him now. He was waiting for us in town. He probably thought he’d find out where we were going, but he got cocky and had to act like he had a big dick. I know better.”
Brett chuckled. “Ouch.”
