Chapter Five

She’d talked him into going back into The Gearhead with the Russian, and the only good thing about it was buying her a new dress for the occasion.

The dress was vixen red and hugged her curves like his new Knucklehead hugged the road. Her waist seemed impossibly small in it, her ass full and… goddamn, he was as hard as steel.

Standing behind her, he stared at her reflection as she held her eyes wide and applied another coat of mascara. “You don’t need it. Your lashes are going to enter the room before you do,” he said.

Surprise crossed her face then she grinned. “You’re in a good mood.”

“I dunno why. I’m sending my princess in to get information on fucking counterfeit money in an illegal gambling ring.”

“Don’t forget the Russian.” She set aside her mascara and drew her long hair over one shoulder. It was silk lying against her breast and down to her waist.

“What the hell’s a Russian doing in Alabama anyway? It’s like serving caviar at a hick wedding reception.” He folded his fingers into his hands. If he touched her now, they’d lose a night in bed and she’d never do this.

Maybe that was the best idea. He didn’t want her to do this.

She met his gaze in the cheap, yellowed motel mirror. “Do you want my thoughts on why a Russian is in Alabama?”

He swallowed hard. Her strength, directness…hell, she was shrewd as well as stunning. “Hit me with it.”

A laugh bubbled from her and she twitched her hot little ass a few steps toward him. “He wants a base in the South, a place to filter millionaires—hell, billionaires—through. Places like Toronto and New York City are known for big gambling crime.”

“He wants to put Alabama on the map—undercover.”

She raised a shoulder in a delicate shrug. “Just my take on it.”

He let his gaze skim her beautifully made-up eyes, full red lips, and glowing skin. The inky star at the corner of her eye only enhanced her beauty.

Reaching out, he settled a finger over the tattoo. “It suits you.”

Her face softened further, and she dropped her gaze with a shy smile. “Thank you for it. It means a lot to me.”

Chest tight, he nodded. To cover his internal war, he snaked an arm around her and patted her bottom. “If we don’t go now, I’ll have your skirt around your waist and bend you over that countertop.”

She melted against him, arms around his neck and fingers in his hair. Her touch tightened his chest more. He had no idea what was going on with him. When suppressed and ignored, terror felt a little like this. He wasn’t cooking up bombs daily and holding his breath for the moment one blew up his buddy, though.

Delta snuggled against his chest, cheek to his cut. He cupped the back of her head and inhaled her essence. In the mirror, their reflection was shocking.

Shocking because they looked like a fucking couple.

He held her tighter.

When she wiggled against him, rubbing her vixen red dress over his bulge, he groaned.
