Chapter Seventeen

‡

“Don’t take me back to the hotel. Not yet. Take me somewhere. Take me anywhere.”

Arden had spoken those words when the party was over and before they left for Indianapolis. The fact was she felt restless and it was because of this man next to her. He’d held her in his arms, touched her, comforted her and it had been as close to heaven as she could possibly get here on earth.

She’d never forgotten how good his body felt pressed so closely to hers, but the memory had dulled over the years apparently because with one touch he’d awoken a million little nerve endings in her flesh and they all craved one thing.

Shane.

Keeping her distance hadn’t worked. Then trying to be strictly friends wasn’t succeeding either. This wasn’t even about the past anymore, which shocked her the most. This was about the man he’d become. Shane was strong, caring, protective, funny, and smart and she’d fallen in love with him all over again, but this time as a grown woman. It made her feelings for him then seem small in comparison.

It was madness, of course. But she simply wanted what little she could have of him while they were together. Soon her father would be found and she’d be back to her old life. Shane would go off with the latest in a long line of gorgeous Barbie dolls and all she’d have was her memories to keep her warm at night. So she might as well make them good because they’d have to last a hell of a long time.

Now they were racing down a dark street on the outskirts of Hemingdale on the back of a borrowed motorcycle. Shane had seen one of the caterers dismount from an older model bike when they’d arrived and after her declaration had gone back inside the party to hunt him down. Much to the man’s astonishment, Shane offered him a large sum of money for a short term “rental” of the bike. He hadn’t believed it at first but when Shane assured him he was serious and showed him the cash, the younger man had been more than happy to make a quick buck. Especially after Lydia assured him that Shane could be trusted.

Thankfully it was a warm and humid night, summer’s last hurrah here in the middle of the country. Arden had laughingly hiked up her dress and thrown her leg over the seat, thrilled that they were going for a ride. There was nothing like the hum of the engine between her legs or the way Shane’s muscled back felt against her front, her arms wrapped around him tightly. Their bodies moved in concert with each dip and turn until he finally brought the motorcycle to a halt in a grove of trees far from the lights of the little town.

A small stream gurgled nearby and a few crickets chirped, but otherwise there was silence all around them as if they were the only two people on the planet.
