“I mapped out the fastest route before we left.” Nate blinked as the sign flew past, then checked the GPS. “You just passed the exit we needed to take.” Lilly looked up from the map on her phone and turned in her seat to peer out at a big green highway sign. He grabbed his coffee and took a scorching swig, trying to burn away her taste. He should be preparing for what he was about to walk into-a hornet’s nest of memories that were going to rip him wide open. That shit was the last thing he needed to be thinking about. And now it was taking even more not to pull the truck over and finish what he’d started. It had taken everything in him to pull away. Couldn’t get that sexy f*cking half whimper, half moan out of his head. Because now he couldn’t get her taste out of his mouth. Losing control like that and kissing Lilly had been a colossal mistake. Then he’d be knee-deep into Tropical Storm Cindy with only the few feet of visibility his headlights would give him.Īs if he needed the added stress. If he had to guess, they only had a few hours of daylight left at best. He checked the light outside, already dimmed from the storm. Most people weren’t stupid enough to be traveling during one of the strongest tropical storms the east coast had seen in years. A gust of wind caught the side of the truck and he tightened his hold on the wheel to keep it steady. The drizzle they’d been driving through had turned into an all-out downpour now that they were closer to the coast. Nate flipped the windshield wipers to high and watched a bleary Virginia pass by outside the rain-streaked window.
