Chapter Sixteen

“This is going to be awkward. Painfully awkward.”

“It’s not going to be awkward.” Rude didn’t roll his eyes—he was too busy scanning the airport’s short-term parking area for a spot—but Sass heard it in his tone. “You’ve known my parents almost half your life. How the hell is picking them up at the airport awkward?”

“I’m picking them up with you. That’s how it’s awkward. Oh, look.” She pointed to a car pulling out. “Line yourself up and get in there.”

“That’s what she said.”

She laughed, then decided to be irritated because she didn’t want to laugh, even if it was her favorite kind of joke. But she also didn’t want to be irritated with the man behind the wheel of the black SUV that looked like it could pull double-duty as a tank. She didn’t want to be irritated with him because other than insisting that she accompany him to pick up Mama Coco and Papa Bolo from the airport, Rude had been the brightest spot in a weekend filled with bright spots.

Their flour fight had made an ungodly mess of both the apartment and them, but she’d been content to live with the mess while enjoying the gnocchi they’d eventually made together. As she did, she’d reveled in his company, even as she’d slowly been driven crazy by feel of the pale, pasty crust forming on her skin. Clean-up had been just as much fun as getting dirty, as they’d finally wound up in a hot, steaming shower together.

That was where the tone of their intimacy had changed—or perhaps a better description would have been deepened—and if she thought about it, it still freaked her out.

Condoms had always been an absolute staple in her world, holding a place just below oxygen, gravity and sunlight on her list of necessities, despite having been on the Pill since her late teens. It was never a good idea to use a condom in a wet environment like a shower or hot tub, and she’d always avoided that particular scenario because of it. But getting clean with Rude had sounded like so much fun that it had never even crossed her mind.

Even more remarkably, the thought of protection had stayed out of her mind until he’d asked if she was on birth control, and by then he’d had her so aroused with his awesome magic fingers that she’d been more than happy to nod yes. Then her back had been up against the tiled wall, one of her arms around his shoulders for support, the other holding onto the shower’s interior towel bar, and her legs clamped around his hips as he plunged into her like a fucking piston.

Concern over something like an STD was virtually zero, because like her, Rude had a long history of being obsessed with safe sex…until now.

Apparently somewhere along the way, they’d both lost their minds.

She didn’t want to think about what that meant, since she was already wigged out about it. Technically speaking, she knew sensation-wise there would be a slight difference in having nothing between them.
