Chapter ~ 19

Mox offered her his arm as they crossed the icy, truck stop parking lot. Eva accepted with a smile, and cuddled against his side to escape some of the cutting wind. He’d been a bit quiet since his conversation with his dad the night before. When she’d asked, he had shrugged it off, saying they’d been discussing the vandalism to Rhys’ car. She hadn’t asked him why he and Zeke had walked off alone or why Reaper hadn’t been allowed to be part of the conversation. She hadn’t missed the little negative head shake the Lord’s President had given his Sergeant at Arms before disappearing with the boys. No, she knew better than to ask those questions, but they were eating at her.

She’d been surprised when he had offered to take her out for breakfast this morning. Okay, offered wasn’t really the word. He had smacked her ass and told her to get up, they were going grocery shopping and out to breakfast. She hid a smile in his sleeve. Secrets or not, why was it that the dominant male thing was so sexy on Mox? After Rocco, she would’ve thought she’d be attracted to the meek accountant type out of pure self-preservation, but Mox’s self-assured strength was so different.

“I don’t give a fuck if you’re a new mother,” a male voice bellowed. “You get bitchy with me again, and I’ll leave the little sons of bitches in the cold parking lot.”

Eva’s round gaze darted to Mox at the angry outburst. Frowning, he hastened his step, dragging her along with him. Rounding one of the big trucks, they spotted a man leaning over a cowering Pit Bull. He spun at their approach, having the good grace to look a little embarrassed.

“Damn bitch has been snippy ever since she had the pups. I think I startled her when I reached into the sleeper, and she nailed me,” he said, holding his bleeding hand.

Eva felt Mox relax beside her.

“You have to watch those protective mamas. You okay?”

“She got the fleshy part between my thumb and forefinger. I’ll be okay.”

A couple of pups poked their nose out the door, their paws scrabbling on the edge as they looked at the drop, their butts wiggling. Eva’s heart melted and she curled her fingers in Mox’s coattails to control the urge to grab one of the yipping babies. He glanced over his shoulder at her with a knowing smile and gently pulled her around in front of him.

“Can she pet the pups?”

“Sure. Go ahead. Mommy’s okay as long as you don’t startle her. It was my fault. We’ve been traveling together for five years, but I’m not used to the little ones. I’ll be glad when these last two are gone,” the trucker said, pulling a first-aid kit from under his seat.

Eva scooped up the pure white puppy and snuggled the little girl inside her coat. She nuzzled its soft head and satiny ears, snorting as the wiggly thing turned to lick her nose.
