her eyes,
sighing in relief. It was nice to have someone else who
could do the driving without having to lean on one of her
brothers. There was definitely something to be said for
having someone around at times like this.
    “Thanks for coming to get me,” she said, yawning widely.
“I couldn’t have kept my eyes open for another ten minutes
to save my own life,” she told him, reaching for her seat
belt and rolling her head to the side. “I just want to crawl
into my bed and sleep for twelve hours straight.”
“Was it that bad?” he asked, pulling the truck back out onto
the road. “My car’s that much of a mess?”
    “The transmission needs a complete rebuild, you have
an
exhaust leak, one of the lifters in the engine isn’t lifting,
and there are at least four vacuum hoses I’ve found so far
that are either cracked or just flat out busted. It’s a miracle
the car got you more than five feet before it broke down.”
“Ouch,” he murmured under his breath. “Do I even want to
know how long that’s going to take to fix? I’m not going to
be stuck here for months, am I?”
    “I don’t mean to brag,” she answered, yawning widely
again. “But I’m damn good at what I do. I’ll have you back
up and running in no time. I just have to wait until a few of
the parts I need for the transmission get here before I can
put it back together. It should be ready in a few days. By
the end of next week at the very latest, and that is definitely
the worst possible case scenario. I honestly don’t think it’ll
take anywhere near that long. Your car is my number one
priority,” she assured him. “I won’t stop until it’s fixed or
until I’m ready to fall down each day.”
It was a promise Travis could tell she intended to keep and
his respect for her grew ten-fold.
    “I appreciate your making it the most important thing on
your to do list,” he told her quietly. “My Ma would thank
you too, if she knew what was going on. I’d tell her, but I
don’t want to freak her out. She’s got more than her fair
share of problems without having to worry about my car.”
    “Didn’t you say she was expecting you, though? Wouldn’t
it be best for you to let her know you’ve been delayed?”
she asked, glancing over at him out of her half-lidded eyes.
She was nearing sleep and she knew it.
    “She is expecting me… but I told her it might take me a
few days longer before I could start out than it actually did.
Plus, she most likely thinks I’m stopping at night along the
road. It’s a mighty long drive from Kentucky to Wyoming.
So far, I’ve just taken catnaps in my car, only stopping for
food or gas. I’ve made crazy good time... or at least I had
been until my car crapped out on me.”
    Laurie was silent the rest of the way to her house and when
Travis parked the truck; he looked over at her to find her
sound asleep. Grinning widely, he got out of the truck and
went to go open the front door. After it was standing wide
open, he went back to the truck and picked her up. His long
legs ate up the distance between the truck and the house as
his body reacted to the hot body in his arms.
    When he lowered her into her bed, he couldn’t help but kiss
her. She was too beautiful and his body was primed and
ready for action. A simple kiss was necessary; it wasn’t too
much to ask for. Not when she was sleeping and would
never remember anyways. All would be well with the
world.
    She groaned when his lips brushed across hers and her arms
snaked up and around his neck. Her grip was strong and she
tugged him down onto the bed with her, her lips, teeth and
tongue desperately clung to his mouth. She was like a
sexually charged nymphomaniac as she wrapped her legs
around his waist, forcing him to settle his body between
them. If it wasn’t for their clothes, they would have been
going at it hot and heavy already and Travis wasn’t even
sure how it had happened; nor did he quite frankly care. He
was too hot for her to do
