Chapter Eight

Saying Pippa was different from the girl he’d known would be like saying the sky was down and the earth up.

She set him off-balance.

She drove him crazy.

And he fucking loved every minute of it.

Part of his reason for wanting to hear her cuss resulted directly from him loving how she’d grown in the past decade. Hearing her say the F word or beg for his mouth on her reminded him that she was not the kid who hung out with him and his brothers on the ranch.

Yet she was still off-limits. To hurt her would invite the wrath of not only her father but his own, along with every Wynton in Stone Pass. Hell, even his buddy Silas would give him hell for breaking Pippa’s heart.

All he could offer her was a one-night stand, like all the other ladies he’d been with. He was at the prime of his career. He couldn’t take time for relationships, family and all the crap that came with it. He’d seen enough of what his little brother, Noah, went through with his ex-girlfriend, before he found the love of his life Maya Ray.

Ross couldn’t only pump the brakes when it came to stopping his crazy libido where Pippa was concerned—he slammed them.

The second time he passed a sign for a canyon, he pulled out his phone and dialed Roman.

“What’s happening?” Roman asked.

“I’m going to make a stop.”

Pippa pushed her glasses up her nose as she often did when thoughtful.

“Next exit? At the canyon?” Roman asked.

“Yes.”

“Your gas tank low? I thought you filled up.”

“I need a break. I’ve been driving for hours.”

“I’m right behind you,” Roman said.

When Ross ended the call, Pippa spoke up, “I can drive for a bit.”

“You’re injured.”

“You said yourself it’s only a graze. I’ve had deeper cuts from shaving.”

His real reason for wanting to stop wasn’t because he’d spent long hours behind the wheel—he really wanted to spend a few minutes of solitude with her. Take in the beautiful scenery and maybe make a memory.

His thinking was a complete one-eighty from minutes before when he made the decision to back away. Yeah, his judgment might be more than a little clouded by all her cute little mannerisms like pushing her glasses up or chewing at the same fingernail. Not to mention the breathy cries of pleasure echoing through his mind.

The road to the canyon pitched steeply, but then leveled off in a place where they could park. When he got out, Roman did too. Ross nodded to him as he checked the gun at his waistband, ensuring he had a good grip if he needed it.

When Ross opened the passenger door, Pippa twisted to face him. “Am I allowed to get out and walk around?”

Christ, her beauty stole his breath. Those plump lips had a natural pink flush that made him want to kiss her harder—to use her mouth—just to see them turn red.

Their gazes clung. Finally, he held out a hand to her. She slipped hers into it, and he assisted her to the ground.
