JIM AND DAX are heading back toward the building when I step out, and Axl is behind them. They dragged the waitress’s body past the dumpster, over to where a second body is already laid out. Even though I should be used to bodies, there’s something about seeing the woman lying under the setting sun that makes me sick. I don’t know why. There are bodies everywhere these days, and I didn’t really know this woman. What’s more, the limited interaction I had with her was unpleasant. To put it nicely.

Dax walks by me, barely glancing my way even though he’s spent most of the day with his eyes glued to my ass—when he wasn’t staring at my tits, that is. Jim, on the other hand, nods as he goes by.

Axl stops by my side. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” I say, then sigh. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s this trip or losing more friends or exhaustion. I don’t know for sure. I just know that everything makes me want to cry today.”

“Not a surprise,” Axl says, glancing back toward the waitress. “Every place we look there are dead bodies or a whole lotta nothin’. It’s bound to get to you.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

He pulls me against his chest, and I wrap my arms around him, resting my head on his shoulder. We haven’t been really alone since we left Hope Springs, and it’s wearing on me.

“I miss our house,” I whisper. “And our bed.”

His lips brush against my hair. “Don’t need a bed.”

He has a point.

I turn my face toward his, raising myself up on the tips of my toes until our lips meet. Axl’s mouth moves against mine, coaxing my mouth open. His tongue slides over mine as his hands move down my back to my waist. Then up under my shirt, his fingers trailing along my spine. Leaving tingles behind.

Within seconds, our kissing becomes more desperate, and suddenly all the death that has surrounded us since our bus drove onto that bridge slams into me. All I can think about right now is being with Axl. Just in case it’s our last chance. In case a horde attacks us while we sleep or we get killed by a group of assholes on the road tomorrow. I want to hold onto this moment and be together.

My hand moves to the button of his jeans, and with one flick of my wrist, I have them undone. Axl groans against my lips when I slip my hand inside. He kisses me harder, his teeth clamping down on my bottom lip.

“What the hell?” Angus calls, startling me so much I let out a little yelp.

“Shit.” Axl pulls away and buttons his jeans.

Angus heads our way, shaking his head like he’s ashamed of us or can’t believe we’re making out in the middle of all this. Like he has any room to talk. How many times when we were on the road did I walk up on him and Darla fooling around? Too many.

Of course, given our current circumstances, I can’t really be angry about it.
