Chapter 6

The Eagle’s Nest was about fifteen minutes outside the little town, a fairly large, square building set in the middle of a big parking lot. The lot was more than half full, mostly with pickup trucks and semis.

“Typical truck stop,” Jenna commented.

“Looks like it,” Scot agreed. He pulled into a spot at the side of the building, turned off the engine, and faced Jenna. “You ready for this?”

She nodded. “I think so. I guess I’m still in shock that she approached me the way she did. We hardly had anything to do with each other when I lived here. I didn’t even go to my high school graduation.”

“You really withdrew after you were attacked,” he guessed.

“I did. I had no one I could talk to. My mother was so high on Roger and the lifestyle, and petrified I’d do something to upset it. I went to classes, kept my head down, studied and then got the hell out of here.”

He surprised her by sliding his hand over her shoulders and rubbing her neck. The tingles left by his touch shot straight to her core, enough that she had to squeeze her thighs together. She slid a glance at Scot, wondering if he noticed, and saw his gaze was fixed on her thighs. Oh, yeah He noticed.

How was it possible that after all these years, after never being able to respond properly to a man in bed, after feeling that sex was a torture to be endured rather than enjoyed… How was it possible that just a simple touch from this man set her crazy hormones dances and her body heating up.

When she looked at him again, he was staring straight at her, those dark-chocolate eyes glinting with heat. What the hell was going on here?

He leaned toward her just a fraction, as if he was going to kiss her, then shifted back into his seat and opened his door.

“Better not keep Becca waiting.”

As soon as she was out of the truck he came around and took her hand in his.

“Couple stuff,” he reminded her, as she looked up at him. “In case anyone’s watching us.” Then he threw her off balance by winking.

What was it with this man that just a simple glance from him brought responses from her frozen body that she’d never had before? As they walked into the Eagle’s Nest, she was glad she had a thin jacket on. It could cover her nipples, which felt as hard as rocks and were probably poking through her sweater. When they got back to the cabin, she might have to hide in the loft for the rest of the day.

The inside of the restaurant/truck stop was warm, and the air was redolent with the aroma of cinnamon and sugar. She remembered at once what Becca had said about their special sweet rolls, and her mouth watered.

The place was about half full, most of the counter stools occupied. She looked around and finally spotted Becca in a booth in a corner, similar to where she and Scot had sat the night before.
