“We will let you guys get back to it then, see you tomorrow. Alaska, always a pleasure.” Rush winks at me, and he and Angie leave our presence.

After they leave the arena, Lad is holding back a comment I am sure with desecrate me on the spot.

“Don’t you even dare utter a word.” I hold up a hand to make him stop.

“Hmm,” Lad says, feeling the fabric in his hands.

“What?” A little bit snappy.

“They’re still warm.” His grin grows as he sees how appalled I am.

“Throw them in the fire and burn them.” I wave him off, thinking now is the best time to flee. Ending this night on a high note.

“Are you sure? Because then you won’t be able to be butt buddies with Angie? And I kind of thought you two were meant to be best friends forever.” Lad yells, and I think a jury would accept my plea for murder given the circumstance.

“Fine, I don’t care what you do with them, keep them. Have a goodnight, asshole!” I am powerwalking the hell out of there.

But, of course, Lad can’t leave well enough alone.

“Hey, wait up, Aly!”

Don’t think for a second I stop. I hope a vortex opens up and he skips timelines.

“I’m going home.” My arms are getting a workout from the lengths I am going to get away from this place.

“Let me drive you; we were having a good time and it is boring without you.” Lad isn’t out of breath as he jogs backward.

“You want to us to get into an enclosed vehicle with each other? Do you have a death wish? Or are you trying to hide my body somewhere no one will look?” The idea is ridiculous.

“I think we can control ourselves for a few more hours.” Lad takes my hand and leads me toward his truck.

“Speak for yourself; not all of us, can contain our killer tendencies, especially when their enemy is offering themselves up on a platter for the feasting.” I trust Lad enough to give me a ride home.

At his truck, he grabs the handle to open the door for me. But he stops, leans in close, and whispers, leaving chills all over my body.

“Is that the best you can do? I expected more. I’m not even breaking a sweat, baby.” The nerve of this cocky guy.

Two can play this game.

I turn my head and kiss him; our lips meet for a moment and I don’t let go. I press forward until his back is against the truck. Our lips are a little too matched for the mayhem. He has an arm wrapped around my waist. But as he gets into it, I pull back.

“And I thought I would be wet by now, but I guess you can’t please everyone, baby.” I grab the handle and pull it hard, knocking him out of the way. “I sure appreciate the ride home, you’re such a gentleman.” I’ve got to get my sarcasm checked out by a professional.

Lad rounds the truck and hops in, then holds the steering wheel without mumbling a word. Man, I must have knocked his socks off back there. My talents amaze even me.

“Was that your first kiss? Have you never been kissed before? Because it kind of seems like you are in a daze right now and I just want you to be aware anyone after me will not live up to my standards.” Best to break it to him gently.

My companion turns toward me, grips my chin between his fingers.

“I am going to kiss you, and it will be the best fucking kiss of your life.” Lad promises, and I swear anything coming out of his mouth I want to believe.

“Why don’t you shut the fuck up and show me?” I push his hand away from me. God, who likes to be manhandled these days?

Lad cocks his jaw side to side and there is an evil presence in his eyes, needing to dominate me. His hands go to my waist and yank me toward me, lifting me on to his lap.

“Tell me to shut up one more time, Alyeska.” I swear there is a deep growl as he runs the words from his mouth down my neck.

Those hands, spread wide as he rubs me against his jeans, and there is a notable hardness underneath. My mouth drops open, and having no panties didn’t seem like a problem until dry humping came into tonight’s list of events.
