"Let go, Paige," I whisper huskily into her ear, my voice a low growl soaked in desire. "I want to feel you come around me."
With every thrust, I drive her closer and closer to the precipice until finally, she lets out a strangled cry, her whole body shaking violently as she reaches her climax. I can feel her pulsating around me, the sensation almost too much to bear.
"Hunter!" she screams my name, clinging onto the wall for dear life as waves of ecstasy tear through her. The sight of her coming undone beneath my touch sends me over the edge. With a feral growl, I plunge into her one final time and shudder as my climax surges through me. I bury my face in her hair, our panting breaths mingling with the sound of the shower.
We stay like that for several minutes, clinging to each other as our bodies ride out the aftershocks. The water, now cooler than before, continues to rain down on us, washing away our sweat and carnal evidence.
Eventually, I pull out of her, drawing a whimper of loss from Paige. Turning her around in my arms, I pull her close against my chest, our hearts pounding in unison. We share a long, lingering kiss before I reluctantly release her. I reach out and shut off the water that has long turned cold.
"Stay here," I command softly, pressing a swift, possessive kiss onto her forehead before stepping out of the shower. I return quickly with a towel and start drying her off, taking care to wrap it around her slender form.
Her eyes sparkle as she watches me, a beautiful post-coital glow adorning her face. It's breathtaking - she is breathtaking - and for a moment, I find myself lost in the depths of those mesmerizing eyes.
"Are you always this attentive after sex?" She teases, her voice a soft purr that sends another jolt of desire coursing through me.
"Only for you," I reply, my voice low and husky as I pull her in closer for another passionate kiss. I can taste the remnants of our lovemaking on her lips. It's intoxicating. Another kiss like that and I’m going to have her bent over and plunging inside her once again.
We move out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, never breaking contact. My hands roam over the curves of her body, tracing a path from her shoulders down to her hips. Her skin is still damp from our shower, cool beneath my touch. I push her gently onto the bed, climbing in after her.
With practiced ease, I pull the towel from her body, letting it drop onto the floor. The sight of her lying naked, flushed and sated on my bed drives me wild. She purrs in delight as I rake my gaze over her, licking her lips provocatively.
"Again?" she teases, a wicked glint in her eyes.
“I would love to, but we need to get some sleep,” I say reluctantly.
She pouts and pulls me down to her. “We’ll see about that.”
“You’re very tempting,” I groan. “I’m going to do my best to resist you. At least for a few hours, but don’t be surprised if you wake up with me deep inside you.”
She shudders against me. “Don’t tease me.”
I drop a quick kiss on her lips before sliding behind her and spooning her naked body. “Sleep.”
Before I know it, Paige is stirring beside me and sunlight is streaming through the thin curtains. With a sigh, I stretch out, feeling the weariness of the road settling into my bones. We had both been more tired than we thought. I didn’t think either of us moved all night.
After a quick shower and change of clothes, we head out to grab something to eat at the nearby truck stop. The smell of grease and diesel hangs heavy in the air as we enter, the sounds of clinking dishes and murmured conversations filling the cramped space.
We order breakfast and sip strong coffee while looking around the dining room. Out of habit, I pull out my phone. Then I remember I can’t turn it on. I know I should call my boss and apologize for abandoning a ten-million-dollar jet in Nebraska, but I can’t. I can’t risk exposing our location. I'm toast, I know it. I've lost my job for sure, and maybe more than that.
But for some reason, I don't feel as bad about it as I thought I would. Maybe it's the adrenaline still coursing through my veins, or maybe it's the sense of freedom that comes with leaving everything behind. Either way, I can't shake the feeling that this is where I'm supposed to be, right beside Paige on this wild, unpredictable journey.
I have a healthy savings, enough to tide me over until I figure out what comes next. And truth be told, I've been stuck in a rut for far too long, the monotony of my day-to-day life suffocating me with its predictability. The last couple of days have made me feel alive in a way I haven't in years.
“Are you okay?” Paige asks quietly.
I look at her and smile. “Yes. Actually, I’m very okay. You?”
“I feel human again,” she laughs. “I’m ready to tackle the world.”
Chapter eleven
Paige
As we sit in the crowded truck stop diner, the smell of greasy food mingling with the clatter of dishes and the low hum of conversation surrounds us. I’m not big on greasy spoons, but that was my old life. This is how I live now. I try not to cringe at the greasy hashbrowns because honestly, they are delicious.
The food, though not gourmet, fills the emptiness that had. As I cut into my eggs, I try to keep my mind on the present moment. The weight of the decisions we've made seems to have lifted a bit.
"You know, I never thought I'd end up in a place like this," I say between bites. "But I suppose that's life for you."
