fists. Looking up, she said, “I’m sorry, I can’t concentrate with you looking so good.”

    He gasped, “What the hell? So now it’s my fault?”

    She thought about it then nodded.

    She swore the top of his head blew off.

    It took a while but he finally calmed himself down enough to speak, “We need to trade insurance info.”

    “Oh yeah, sure.” She watched him walk back to his car. A truck careened down the road and she felt a huge airdraft blow her sideways. She squealed and looked back at the road. Too many trucks took it to cut through the mountains and it was known as one of the most dangerous in the state. She watched as another fourteen-wheeler sped towards them and she jerked in fear. Before she could stop herself, she’d run to her car and had locked herself inside.

    “Hey!” Kevin appeared at her window a minute later. He banged on the glass until she turned the ignition on and it slid down. “What’s going on?”

    She motioned to the road and the passing trucks. “I didn’t think it was safe to stay on the side of the road. Too many trucks. Do you want to get in?”

    He shook his head wildly. “I ain’t getting into your car. With my luck, you’ll kidnap me because I’m your favorite quarterback or some other shit.”

    “Oh.” She blinked at his assumption. Come to think of it, that was a pretty good idea. She could take him to an isolated location somewhere and handcuff him to the bed, and have his way with him for hours on end. What a brilliant plan! She beamed up at him then realized he was staring at her as if she’d gone crazy. “Uh, I would never do that,” Of course not. Uhmmm. “but we can’t just stay here. It’s too dangerous. This road is-“

    “I know. Let’s drive somewhere else and park where we won’t bother anyone.”

    She nodded, “Good idea. I’ll drive, you follow.”

    “No, I-“

    She didn’t give him a chance to respond as she simply drew the window back up. Then she waved at him through the glass and watched his face redden once again. Ohhh, angry again. Go her!

    She grinned as she watched him walk back to his car in her rear-view mirror. It looked like he was swearing under his breath and it was just too funny. And hot. Don’t forget hot.

    She waited for his headlights to blink on then managed to get back onto the road without too much problem. His car quickly followed and she wondered where she could go. He just wanted to trade insurance information and then he’d be on his way but this was her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She sure as heck wasn’t going to let him leave so soon! What to do. What to do. Spotting a side road, she braked and took a right turn so sharply gravel spit against the sides of her car. She looked in the mirror and grinned when she spotted Kevin behind the wheel, looking mightily pissed. Oh my god, she was too good at this!

    She kept on driving, ignoring his signals until she thought it was desert enough. Trees loomed over them when she finally slowed the car down and directed it to a small parking lot meant for hikers and hunters. She parked and slid out, wondering what she should do next.

    He didn’t give her enough time to plan however as he came careening out of his car and started screaming at her. “Are you fucking nuts?”

    “Why?” She frowned.

    “Did you have to drive so far from the main road?”

    “But I thought you said we should park somewhere where we couldn’t bother people? There’s no one here so we won’t bother anyone.”

    “I meant park at a road-side café, a McDonald’s! Anywhere but here!”

    “Oh, then you should have been clearer.”

    “You cut me off! You rolled up your fucking window before I could-“

    “Sorry, I thought you were in a hurry and those big trucks were scaring the hell out of me.”

    His hands tightened into fists. “You, lady, are crazy.”

    “Ugh.” She crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back against the side of her car. Which
