River

By closing time, I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open, and even though I wouldn’t say I was in pain, I was more than a little uncomfortable.

Fighting a yawn, I went through my normal routine to make sure everything was in order and ready to go for the next day before grabbing my things.

“Babe,” I called out as I walked back to his room where he was finishing up the last of his appointments. He’d canceled the ones from the day before, and he’d had me squeeze some of them in between his clients for that day, so he was still working. “I’m on my way out. Do you need anything before I go?”

He lifted his gaze from the scripture he was doing on the older biker’s back. “I’m good,” he said as his gray eyes skimmed over me lovingly. “I’ll finish locking up. Just be careful driving home, baby.”

I crossed the few feet separating us and kissed him, glad that we didn’t have to hide our relationship from anyone now. “Love you.”

He grabbed my ass with one hand, giving it a squeeze before reluctantly releasing me. “Love you, River. So fucking much.”

I kissed the tip of his nose, told the biker goodnight, and then headed for the back door. As I headed for my cousin’s car, I couldn’t help glancing toward the woods. But like earlier, I didn’t see any sign of anyone.

Back at the apartment, I took a shower and then climbed into bed. As I did, my gaze landed on the bottle of pain medication, but I quickly turned my back on it. Now that I was off my feet, my discomfort was mostly gone. Making sure my alarm was set for the next day so I could get to school on time, I snuggled under the covers and was asleep within seconds.

The feel of Maverick pulling me into his arms made me smile, and I snuggled closer before drifting back to sleep as he kissed the top of my head and whispered he loved me. When the alarm went off, I was so comfortable I debated taking another day off, but I was already three days behind on everything.

Carefully, I untangled myself from Maverick’s hold and went into the bathroom to get ready. My mom had dropped off a box of my things at the shop the night before, and I found it in the living room where Maverick must have set it when he came in the night before.

My phone buzzed on my way out the door, and I looked down to find a text.

Nova: Can you give me a ride home after school? I’m staying over to help tutor some of the high school kids.

I shot her a reply, promising her I could. Nova was practically fluent in both Italian and Russian, but she had taken some of the other language classes the school offered. With our town so small, it wasn’t all that much, but she seemed to enjoy American Sign Language and Spanish classes.
