the water.
“Which was that kiss?” she asked,
timidly.
“Both, but mostly love.” He ran his hand
down her arm, and laced his fingers through hers. “Julie, you’re
the first girl I ever cared about, I promise you that. I know
you’re not ready but when you are, I promise you, I’ll been there
and will make it a night you’ll never forget.” He lightly kissed
the back of her hand.
Julie’s jaw dropped onto her chest as she
glanced away and turned bright red. Damn, he loved how her skin
flamed. As much as that shy and innocent look turned him on, he was
relieved when she hugged her middle as her stomach growled.
“Come on, let’s eat, then we’ll meet up with
whoever,” he said.
“You tell me you fucked hundreds of girls,
and you’re worried about carrying me eating. I won’t jump in bed
with you so easy.”
“I don’t expect you to do anything. Yes,
I’ve done things I’d hate to clutter your mind with, but Angel,
you’re not some random girl. You are the one I want to take care
of.”
They walked back to his car in complete
silence, Trucker’s mind going over all the horrible things in his
past. Holding the car door open for her, he asked, “Was your first
kiss everything you wanted it to be?”
“More,” she answered as he slid in beside
her.
“I wish it was my first kiss too,” he
confessed, staring out the windshield. Nothing he had ever
experienced in his life could touch how she made him feel. She
reached over to hold his hand, but he jerked away. He slammed his
fist onto the steering wheel. How could he take that delicate hand
in his? All he could do was hurt her.
“You deserve better than me.” He leaned on
the door and rammed his head onto the glass. Julie jumped. “I’ve
done some horrible things and treated people horrendously . . .
I’ve used women for my own pleasure.”
“Are you using me now?” She trembled.
“No. Never.” He shook his head. “I’d never
use you. You’re everything to me.” He pulled her close to him and
placed his lips on her forehead. He held his lips there breathing
her in. “You’re so good, and I’m nothing but a dark soul,” he spoke
softly against her skin.
“Will you hurt me?” she clarified. He felt
her breathing getting harder, her shoulders moved with each intake
of air.
“I can’t.” He pulled away, but bored his
eyes into her. “Baby, I can’t, but my family might.”
“Will they?” she asked, her teeth slid
across her lip.
“I don’t know.” He shrugged his shoulder.
“Please don’t bite your lip.”
“I want take any bull crap from you or your
damn family.” She twisted her fingers around a string hanging from
her shorts.
“You sure as hell won’t. I would hurt anyone
that tired.” His glare seared through her.
Julie glanced up and their eyes locked. The
biggest and brightest green eyes he had ever seen. It rattled him,
how much affection they held for him.
“Then I don’t care,” she whispered.
She reached out for his hand as he reached
for hers. He pulled her hand up to his mouth and grazed his lips
over them.
As quick as his car could go to ninety from
nothing, so did his mood. Driving slowly through town he shifted
from sulking to cheerful. He switched on the sound systems. The
music of Journey filled the car.
“That’s different,” Julie stated.
“My music taste runs the gamut. Depends on
my mood.”
“And your mood now?”
“Oh, Miss Emison, wouldn’t you like to
know?” he said with a wink.
His lips curled up and a dimple appeared.
She went to stroke the side of his cheek with her pinky. Twisting
around, he caught her finger with his mouth and after a quick and
playful nip, he planted a kiss on its tip. Shaking her finger, she
took in a gulp of air. He had never wanted anything as much as he
wanted her. He wanted to open her eyes up to a new world, but was
she ready for his?
“Julie, come here, baby,” he said softly. He
needed to feel her close to him. She turned,
“Which was that kiss?” she asked,
timidly.
“Both, but mostly love.” He ran his hand
down her arm, and laced his fingers through hers. “Julie, you’re
