Chapter 9

Carolyn eyed Lucas wearily as they made the three-hour drive back home. They had spent a lovely and relaxing weekend at a nearby bed and breakfast. Their days had been spent exploring the town like tourists and their nights had been spent exploring each other.

She had never felt so satisfied or relaxed or content in her life, but Lucas had been on edge since the moment they had started packing up the car to head for home. He had barely said a word, and she swore his jaw was twitching. It wasn’t a side of him she had seen, or one she liked. It made her nervous.

The smart thing to do would be to be sweet and play on her phone or read a book. She still had a few months of school left, and plenty of reading to catch up on. Unfortunately, being sweet when it was wise to do so had never been one of Carolyn’s strong points. Her father called her a bear poker, because she wasn’t one to let go of something easily, and being given a warning to stop was to her, a green light to go as far as she possibly could. Given her new husband’s penchant for a hard-handed approach, it was going to be her downfall. To bad old habits die hard.

Carolyn quickly unbuckled, and slid across the truck’s large bench seat, wordlessly moving into the middle spot and resting her hand on Luke’s thigh.

“What are you doing?”

“I wanted to sit next to my husband,” Carolyn purred mischievously, moving her hand closer to his groin as she spoke.

He pushed her hand away, taking it in his and placing it back in her lap. “Go back where you were. It’s safer.”

Carolyn scooted. In the opposite direction, closer to Lucas instead of farther away, smiling to herself as she watched his eyes darken. “I just want to be near my husband, and enjoy these last few minutes of our honeymoon together.” She placed her hand back in his lap, taking care to reach even higher this time, enjoying the instant evidence of his attraction to her.

Lucas cleared his throat, and shifted uncomfortably. “Carolyn,” he growled in warning.

Fluttering her long eyelashes, she looked up at him innocently. “Yes, my darling husband?”

“Stop. Right now. Go back to your seat.” Once again, he unceremoniously lifted her hand and dropped it back in her lap. “Your behavior is bordering on dangerous. Do you want to guess how I feel about dangerous behavior?”

A wiser wife than she would have taken the hint. Carolyn did, but only barely. Begrudgingly, she scooted over a whole three inches so that she and Lucas were no longer touching. And she sat there stubbornly with her arms crossed and her mouth set in a full pout. “You’re no fun!”

“That’s not what you said last night.” The corner of his mouth turned up in a smirk.

“Oh, you!” She smiled, happy that he had loosened up, if only for a moment. “That’s better. I was
