I should leave her here.

She’d probably be pissed as hell that I drove two hours and then left her at a diner for an hour, but I’d deal with that later.

Getting onto the bike, I held out my hand. “Mount, Go Go.”

She got onto the bike with surprising grace, then scooted up until she was almost touching me, but not quite.

I touched her knee with my hand, my fingers splaying over her lower calf, and said, “Scoot closer.”

She did.

“More.”

She scooted some more.

“All the way in, darlin’,” I urged.

She came the rest of the way, until every inch of her inner thighs, pussy, and torso was pressed to me.

I caught her hands and wrapped them around my middle. “Hold on tight.”

I started the bike, and I swore I felt a full body shiver.

“You okay?” I asked.

She nodded against my back. “Okay.”

I set off, questioning myself for the first ten miles.

By the time we got on the highway, and somehow her hand had made it up underneath my sweatshirt, pressing against my t-shirt-covered abs, I stopped questioning.

I wanted her here.

I’d wanted her with me since I’d taken her off her man’s bike.

There was no use in denying it.

Paper towels are just napkins on the cob.

I should’ve probably questioned where we were going.

If I had, I might’ve figured out that where we were going was a good two hours away from where we’d started. I guess I thought it would be a two-hour trip altogether.

I also might’ve figured out that he was visiting a prison, and he expected me to stay at a diner for an hour while I waited for him to visit with his brother.

His brother that was in prison.

But I didn’t question him.

And now I was standing in front of a diner, staring at the man as he explained what was going to happen next.

He grabbed my hand, then walked us inside.

I was already on the fence about being here at a diner alone for an hour, but the moment we walked through the doors, the man who greeted us solidified the fact that I was most certainly not staying here alone.
