Indy

Edward Morrice Krupps was a dick. I’d seen a few like him. My mom’s second husband was like him. Shit-ass full of himself and squeaky enough that cops always seemed to look the other way. My fourteen-year-old self knew better, and now my fifty-year-old self knew damn better. But I’d be more of a liar than I am, if I said that shit didn’t bother me. We’d stood our ground long enough to get Eddie good and pissed, but not long enough to have a scene start. It felt like retreating. That was what my gut was saying. My head knew well enough that it wasn’t.

See, there’s one way to deal with people like Eddie, you needed to ignore them. It grated like hell. If I knew it would help, I’d grind him under my boot. But that just makes assholes like him get interested in you. Trust me, you don’t want someone who inflates themselves inside their head interested in you. They will make you miserable.

Which is what Edie was right now.

For that, there was only one remedy, make her damn happy.

TomTom and Vega were downstairs in their little bedroom off the kitchen. Edie and I were upstairs.

She was on the bed where she’d sat, then fell to her back. Her feet were hanging off, one shoe still on, the other dropped to the floor. I smiled, remembering her cozy bedroom in the cabin. Always a shoe ready to trip you.

I nudged the one on the floor out of my way, then carefully picked up her leg. The shoe slipped off easily. I rubbed her calf first, then the arch.

“Oh God, Indy, that feels amazing.”

Her voice was damn sexy. I dug in near the center of the ball of her foot.

That got a moan. “Nothing too good for my lady.”

She peeked at me, half lifting her head. “Your lady?”

“Mine.” I wanted to add, “Always and forever,” but the words would not come. They never did.

She smiled anyways. This woman was too good for me. I moved to the heel, using a bit more pressure and then shifted attention near the large tendon there.

“My sweet man.”

“Take that back.” I joked.

She lifted her head back up, tucking her elbows under her so she could stay up. “Never.”

I tickled her foot in retaliation.

Of course, she twitched. In the tussle, I snagged the other foot, tickled it some, until she almost got it free, then rubbed that one with the same care as the other. Her body melted back down.

I worked my way up her legs until I had to crawl onto the bed. Once there, she helped me take off the plain leather vest and shirt I wore. Edie got a little wild on my skin for a bit, but I made her melt again, rubbing out the aches and the tension. Her hands paused on my belt.

“You weren’t wearing this.”

Between kisses, I made a sound of question.

“Your belt. On the trip.”

Shit. What the hell? How would she know that? “Long trips are a bitch.
