Brook

What the hell did I say wrong?

Women were confusing. Or was it just Lola? Sometimes I wondered whether it would be easier to remain single, but as frustrating as Lola had been yesterday, Sophie seemed to have taken to her. I didn’t want Lola to leave upset, but maybe some distance and a good sleep before our trip was a good idea.

I mean, I got what Lola was saying, but the last topic I wanted to revisit in Sophie’s presence was Evie. It was enough that my brothers always teased her, and I was the only one who knew why they shouldn’t. She’d had it rough when we met. It was how we found that connection. Now, it was easier if some things were done the way Evie wanted, and I didn’t see any harm in reducing the amount of sugar in a child’s diet.

Lola slept through most of our drive up to Michigan. We only stopped to pee and eat, and then she’d sleep again. Maybe that was for the better because when we drove by the accident site, I didn’t want to have to explain being lost in thought. The last hour, though, after Lola woke up, her eyes were glued to the terrain map my father had given me last night. He said he’d prepared two, but lost the second one in between all the work papers he was forced to carry in his briefcase. The discussion went into Mother offering an office for him to work from and them trying out the new furniture. I left after that.

“Did you not sleep well last night?” I asked, a few minutes before our stop.

“I slept okay.”

“Why are you sleeping so much now?”

“Oh, I’m like a solar panel.”

“A what?”

“I take the energy when I can get it, and I store it. It won’t be easy to find Xavier, and with wolves around, we’ll need to take turns sleeping at night.”

“I already told you, Lola, we won’t sleep much when we’re together.” Though she was right, I knew I’d take advantage when we were together anytime I could.

“Yeah, okay. Seriously, Brook. You need to save all that testosterone for later because there’s no way in hell I’ll be able to enjoy you the way I’d like to with bears and wild animals watching us. Besides, we have a job to do.”

Right.

She was just kidding, wasn’t she? This was Lola we were talking about. She thrived on adrenaline. What had happened to her? Yesterday she’d been en pointe with my plans to get into her panties, and today she’d turned into a cold stone? I watched her peek at me from the side, and knew that there was no way she’d be able to keep her legs closed when we were together up in those woods. There was nothing that could stop me from pounding between her legs every night, whether it was in our tent or up against a tree, and I sure as fuck didn’t care which animals watched us.
