Chapter Nine

“This is nice. Cozy, too.”

“Not bad for an axe murderer, huh?”

Curled into RJ’s side, our heads on soft, fluffy pillows near the cab, I smile. “Not bad at all. But if that raccoon makes another appearance, I’m out of here.”

The blankets piled on top of us shake with his laughter. “You didn’t like my raccoon?”

“That thing is scary as hell. Probably died because it was rabid.”

“Actually, my grandpa shot it.” His voice is suddenly serious, somber even, and I push up on an elbow.

“Seriously?”

His jaw tightens as his gaze shifts to the sky. “Was the last gift he gave me before he died.”

Way to go, Jules. Way. To. Go. “I’m so sorry.”

He nods, his face pinched with emotion...and then the jerk busts out laughing again.

“Ugh!” I thump his chest with a fist and throw myself back on the pillows. “You’re such an ass.”

“And you’re gullible,” he replies, rolling quickly to hover above me, a hand on each side of my head. I try to pretend the rest of him, at least from the ribs down, isn’t pressed against me, all big and solid. Heavy in a way that has heat blooming low in my belly. “I think you’ve turned into a city girl, Crash.”

My feigned gasp rises above the sexy hum of Florida Georgia Line’s Sippin’ on Fire. “A city girl? Who plowed the driveway today, huh?”

A lopsided grin shines through his beard. “Who almost put the plow through the goddamn garage door?”

“I was just making sure you were paying attention!”

“Uh huh. More like you couldn’t handle all that power,” he says, teasing me with a barely there kiss before tracing his tongue along my bottom lip.

“Mmm.” I moan and coast my hands up the hard planes of his back. “I may be small, but don’t think I’m weak.”

“Being a city girl doesn’t make you weak, Crash. Just saying you’ve distanced yourself a bit from your country roots.” Another whispered kiss and then his mouth drifts to my jaw and that yummy spot behind my ear. I jolt at the soft nip of teeth there and my hands slide greedily beneath his beanie.

“I think you underestimate me.” But he can keep those lips and that tongue working magic on my neck. He got that right, for sure. “I also think you should take this hoodie off. I want to touch you.”

His low chuckle vibrates off my skin and goose bumps rise. “It’s cold out here.”

“You brought out every single blanket in the house.” I tug gently at his hair with one hand and blindly toss the beanie with the other. “You think I haven’t figured out why?”

He lifts his head, one eyebrow cocked. “What are you saying?”

My lips curve into a knowing smile. “I’m saying I’m happy to accommodate.”

“Yeah?” In one quick movement, his chest drops to mine and his strong hands slide beneath my thighs, spreading me. I gasp under the unexpected weight, but the sound quickly morphs into a low mewl of approval when his hips settle into place against mine.
