Chapter Eleven

The lobby of the motel was the sketchiest place I’d ever seen. I was sore from all the driving, but this was exciting. I’d never been to a place like this, but I’d seen them in movies.

Blue handed over ID when the man at the desk asked for it.

“Would you prefer a king or two queens?” the man at the desk asked. I’d caught him looking at me, then at Blue, as though trying to figure out our connection to each other, but after Blue glared at him, the man didn’t look my way again.

“Two queens.”

I pouted at him, but he ignored me.

Was he really going to avoid touching me all night too? The man was impossible. Maybe having me once had killed his interest. Maybe I was really bad at it. He’d known I was a virgin—to be fair he should give me a chance to learn before giving up on me, right?

“And how long will you be staying, Mr. Davidson?”

“One night.”

Davidson? Oh my god—Blue was using fake ID?

The man gave him the price, which seemed ridiculously low, and Blue forked over the amount in cash, as well as a hefty security deposit. He carried our duffle bags to our room, getting annoyed when I trailed behind. Who wouldn’t be fascinated by the concept of carpeted walls? Apparently, I wasn’t allowed to be out of his sight.

He did a big security check of our room as I stood in the middle of it, trying to stretch the kink out of my back. I couldn’t remember ever being in a car so long, and he’d said to expect the same tomorrow.

“I need a shower,” Blue grumbled.

“So take a shower, grumpy pants.”

“You have to sit in the bathroom with me. I’m not leaving you alone out here.”

“Oh my god—do you seriously think they could have gotten here before us?” I said, rolling my eyes. “I’m sure you have twenty minutes before they catch up.” He’d been impossible at every rest stop too. At one stop there’d been no individual bathrooms and he’d followed me into the ladies’ room. It was hard to pee when you knew someone was listening.

Rather than argue, he picked me up and deposited me on the bathroom counter.

I waggled my brows at him. “Good evening, sir. I’m your complimentary bar of soap. Feel free to get naked and rub me all over your body.”

“Behave.”

“I always behave.”

“Like a brat.”

“Well, you didn’t specify how to behave, now did you?”

“I’ll have to remember to be more specific.”

He grabbed the scruff of his shirt and shucked it off, and any follow-up repartee was completely wiped from my mind. The bathroom was small compared to the ones at home, and so he was almost close enough to touch. I leaned closer, extending my hand to see if I could reach.

“Aberdeen,” he growled.

“Yes?”

“We’re trying to get you to safety. It’s not the time for that.”

I wrapped my arms around myself, hurt. If I stopped tempting him, I was afraid we’d go back to square one with each other.
