Chapter 22

“We can’t stay in this car forever.”

Thea’s voice abraded against my overtired nerves, rousing me from the little bit of sleep I was allowing myself.

“We need real food, I need new pants, and Ozma willing, some underwear.”

“I dunno, I quite like when you just lounge in the back of the car naked for days,” Crowe said, twisting from the front seat to scan over her curves. She wasn’t naked anymore, hadn’t been since she woke up outside Crystal City on the first day. She was wearing a set of the emergency shorts and shirt we kept in one of the compartments. But they were entirely too large on her, the shorts, in particular, slipping from her hips every time she shifted.

Thea pulled her t-shirt over her knees like that changed anything. Crowe has by far been the kindest to her, but the daggers she was glaring at him right now said she was done playing nice.

I stretched and cracked my spine. It had been an interesting couple of days.

“I’m serious, Danny. If I don’t get to have something hot in my stomach, clean water to wash my face, and a pair of pants that don’t expose my ass every time I shift, I will start making this drive very, very uncomfortable for you.”

Danny flashed her a grin in the mirror. “Do tell, Princess.”

“Please tell me it involves putting on a show.” Crowe snickered, nearly climbing into the backseat. “I volunteer to assist. Two for one, you can reward me and punish him.”

For someone so small, the frustrated growl that came from her was surprisingly loud.

“I hate you both.” She slammed her foot into the back of Crowe’s seat. “Ya know what? I’m tempted to fuck Nick right here, just teach you both a lesson.”

I choked on the bottle of water I’d just cracked open.

“I’m ok with that,” Crowe said, propping an elbow on the window and leaning back for a better view. “I bet big man over there can make you come hard. That’s something I’d most definitely love to see.”

“As much as I like being a performing monkey for your pleasure, Vincenzo—” Crowe winced. He hated that name. It’s what my father called him whenever he fucked up, so I only used it when I was trying to make a point. “—we’re going to need to refill the tanks soon anyway.” The dual tanks in the cab meant we could drive for longer stretches, but we still needed to refill eventually. “A hot meal would do us all some good.”

“We’re not far from Stone Mountain. There should be a rest area around there we can stop at,” Crowe suggested.

I glanced over at Thea. A grin spread slowly over her lips, lighting up her eyes. She rarely looked happy, even if this was the false happiness of victory, and was bound to disappear the second Danny shut her down again.

Like he could hear my thoughts, Danny glowered at me in the mirror.

“You know I’m right.” I pressed the button to convert the bed back into a seat.
