Chapter Eleven

Tristyn knew that she could walk all the way back to Charisma and not walk off her frustration with Josh. So she went only as far as the end of the lane before she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She knew that she could count on either of her sisters to commiserate with her, and dialed Jordyn’s number because she was first in her alphabetical list of contacts.

“The man is driving me insane,” she said without preamble when her sister had connected the call.

“Hold on a sec,” Jordyn said. “Lauryn’s here, so I’m going to put you on speakerphone so we both know what’s happening.”

She heard a click, then her oldest sister’s voice. “Hi, Tris. What’s happening?”

“He’s driving me crazy.”

“Josh?”

She huffed out a breath. “Of course, Josh.”

“What’s he done now?”

“Nothing new, really,” she admitted. “He’s just being his usual arrogant, annoying self.”

“Something must have happened to prompt this call,” Lauryn remarked.

“Yeah—he got back from Loudon and started criticizing how I spent my time with his nieces while he was away.”

“He was probably upset that Ren crashed with only five laps left,” Jordyn said, revealing that she’d watched the race, too—or at least the highlights.

“There’s no excuse for being a jerk,” Tristyn said.

“I’m guessing his behavior is a sign that you haven’t gotten naked with him yet,” Lauryn mused.

“What? Of course not.”

“It’s not completely outside the realm of possibility,” Jordyn noted.

“I’m not going to get naked with Josh,” she said firmly. But, because she had no secrets from her sisters, she confided, “He did kiss me, though.”

“Finally,” Lauryn said.

“And then?” Jordyn prompted.

Tristyn frowned. “Isn’t that enough?”

“Not if it was a good kiss,” Jordyn said.

“And Josh Slater looks like a man who would know how to kiss,” Lauryn chimed in.

“He does know how to kiss,” she acknowledged.

“And then?” Jordyn said again.

“And then I remembered what happened the last time I let myself fall under the spell of Josh Slater.”

“That was twelve years ago,” Lauryn reminded her. “Neither of you are the same people now.”

“I know I’m not the same naive girl I was then, but I’m not sure Josh has changed at all.” She sighed. “I never should have agreed to this road trip. There’s no way I can spend another six weeks in that RV with him without killing him.”

“You could try jumping his bones instead,” Jordyn suggested.

Tristyn choked on a laugh. “I guess that is another possibility—except that I’m not giving him another chance to push me away.”

“He’s not going to push you away,” Lauryn assured her.

“How do you know?”

“Because we’ve seen the way he looks at you when he thinks no one else is looking,” Jordyn said.

“Well, it’s not likely I’d have an opportunity to jump his bones with three kids around, anyway.”

“I have two babies at home, but I can assure you, I jump Marco’s bones every chance I get.”

“Please,” Lauryn interrupted. “Even between sisters, there’s such a thing as too much information.”

“As if you’re not riding Ryder every night.”

“La-la-la,” Tristyn sang, attempting
