Rather than speak, she nods frantically against me. On my next outward glide, I add another finger and work them both inside. My thumb finds her clit. I rest my forehead against her temple and watch as desire washes over her face.
Her mouth drops open again while her neck arches against the headrest, and her sounds of pleasure would put any porn star into retirement. Not that she’s even remotely acting. She’s vocal in a way most women are afraid to be. I wipe my grin across her cheek before taking her lips to silence her. Although the erotic noises are my new favorite melody, I don’t want to attract attention before I bring her over the finish.
She uses her propped foot as leverage to ride my hand. I heed her tightening walls and continue to curl my fingers deep as I circle her clit. The moment her eyes slam shut, I thrust my tongue inside her mouth. She sucks it deep before releasing it with a sharp cry that I swallow down my throat. The orgasm sends tremors through her limbs.
I slow my fingers, not wanting to pull out before she stops twitching.
While distracting her with my mouth, I slip free. Her moan at the loss nearly makes me give her back my hand.
“That was…” She fights to slow her breath.
“I’m glad.” I lower her skirt and sit back in my seat. Scanning the lot, we remain alone.
She rolls her head toward me. “Do you want me to—”
I shake my head before she’s finished. “This was just for you.”
“Well, um, thank you?”
Fuck, she makes bashful sexy too.
“You’re cute.”
She tucks a wayward lock behind her ear. “I should, um, probably feed Ghost and take her for a walk.”
I curl my fingers around the bottom of the steering wheel. “Okay.”
The click of the door tells me she’s opened it. “Are you going to be sleeping here tonight?”
My head cocks. I’d nearly forgotten she’s sleeping in her car as I do the same. Even though I haven’t disclosed as much, I get the impression she already knows. Last night, I fell asleep alone outside Calypso’s, but if she sticks around, I might need to find a new location.
I shrug, not wanting to reveal too much. Who knows who she might run into in town. My gut says she’s trustworthy, but for all I know, she likes to gossip.
“I haven’t decided.”
I can tell I chose the wrong words. I feel the fracture of our trust like a physical thing in the air between us.
“I guess I’ll see you around.”
In a billow of jade-green cloth, she swirls from my Jeep and into the dusk, leaving me with a cloud of regret.

Evie
The knock I present on the door the following morning raises the first chorus of nerves. I clench Ghost’s lead tightly in my fist and step back on the small porch. The wooden interior door opens seconds later to reveal a cute, petite brunette with dark hair and a welcoming smile.
“You must be Evie.” She seeks out my furry companion, and her eyes light. “And this must be Ghost. Come on in.” She throws the door open wide.
Ghost wags her stubby tail excitedly as we enter a new place for her to explore. Her nose descends on the carpet just beyond the entryway, and her excited huffs and grunts fill the initial silence.
“You can drop her leash. I’m Cami, by the way. Evelyn is just finishing getting ready. She’s my daughter. Just so you know, this is her first time, so she won’t be here alone. I’ll be around to keep an eye on things, but this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get her feet wet. She just loves animals and wants to work in the veterinary field. I told her she should start with dog sitting.”
How she manages to retain her breath and not look like a tomato after that spiel, I’ll never know. Maybe it’s my fair skin and red hair, but I can’t speak for more than a few seconds without turning shades.
The smile of relief gracing my face comes naturally after her infectious excitement.
“Ghost will make it really easy on her.”
