CHAPTER NINETEEN

FIVE FUCKING MINUTES LATER, Sully was full of fucking regret. Bouncing around in a sidecar attached to a metal death trap as it barreled along at high speeds was definitely considered unsafe when your entire body was exposed to the elements. He tried closing his eyes, except that was even worse. Then he couldn’t see the million ways they might die, and Elliot—Stone, damn it—had the nerve to feel exuberant.

Exuberant. He’s fucking thrilled.

The sensation bubbled over Sully’s skin like fizzing soda.

How dare that bastard enjoy this?

If Sully was in control at all, it might not be so bad. As a passenger, he hated it with every single part of his motion-sick body. If they made it all the way to their destination without Sully losing the meager contents of his stomach all over the road, it’d be a miracle. Cursing every time he was jolted, Sully shot daggers with his eyes that Stone failed completely to notice, his full attention being on where they were going. Which, all things said, was a good thing. Even though it irrationally made Sully angrier.

Plus he was freezing his balls off. The wool uniform and jacket he wore, while stifling in warmer weather, failed completely when ice cold wind was blasting him all over. His fingers were practically about to fall off in his olive wool gloves.

The only highlight to this awful trip was that the pressure on the dam in his head gradually decreased the farther they drove until it was hardly even a blip, and finally, it melted away completely.

By the time they reached Fienvillers, it was stretching into the afternoon. Every muscle in Sully’s body was cramped with tension. He clambered awkwardly from the sidecar and stood on shaky legs, relieved and slightly faint. Bell and Stone exchanged amused glances that incensed him further.

“All right?” she asked, patting at the wild strands of her dark hair that had come loose as she removed her leather cap; he didn’t think there was any hope of salvaging it. Sully probably looked even worse for wear and wouldn’t be surprised if he was pale as fresh snow.

He narrowed his eyes. “Yeah. Peachy. You both always drive like maniacs or was that special just for me?”

The two of them chuckled. Sully’s stomach warmed at the sound of Stone’s deep laugh. Why were his reactions to Stone so intense? Why the hell was Sully so fixated on him after all this time? They’d had one night of desperate, clinging, toe-curling, mind-blowing sex, that was all. One.

The vivid sensation of Elliot moving inside him, their foreheads pressed together hit Sully square in the gut. And then that hardly even a kiss before they left camp, the way his pulse raced when their mouths met…

Sully rapidly doused those thoughts before he embarrassed himself. Okay, before he embarrassed himself more.

“You’ll get used to it,” Stone said with a blinding smile. The ride apparently having relaxed him. “It’s much more enjoyable when you’re driving.”

Sully didn’t doubt that. “Right.” He grabbed his kit bag and rifle.
