“I pressed the gas door button It’s in your car just under your dash ” He didn’t move away from me inva

ding his personal space Instead, he’d lowered his head to talk into my ear His voice was low and rumbled deliciously

“Oh,” was all I could think of to say as a response

A low chuckle in his chest vibrated against my shoulders “You want as in the car now?”

Yes, that would be nice but I really enjoyed standing like this, too I ed a nod thankful that his body didn’t move Maybe he liked it just as much as I did This was really a bad idea I should move Guys like him didn’t treat women well Why did they have to smell and look so wonderful?

“You’re gonna have to let et around you, sweetheart ” His war ed a nod and hurriedly et past

Our chests brushed lightly as he aze The warolden flecks in them didn’t seem so amused anymore

I sed hard and glanced down Once he was safely away froas I needed to remember this was a lesson One I’d desperately needed

“You have to pay first You got a card or are you paying cash?” His voice was back to normal No more sexy lohispers in my ear

Money I’d forgotten about thein rabbed my debit card and stood back up to hand it to hiht of hihtly

“Here,” I said, handing it to him as his eyes ran back up ht hi it This one was a player, the kind a siven uy’s best friend’s apartirl as madly in love with him That had not ended well

He was scrutinizing my debit card “Della I like that name It fits you It’s sexy and mysterious ”

At that moment, I realized I didn’t know his name “Thank you, but now you’re one up on me I don’t know your name ”

He smirked “Woods ”

Woods That was unique I’d never heard the name Woods before

“I like it Fits you,” I replied

He looked like he was going to say so else but his smile turned serious and he held up the card “Lesson number one is how to pay for it ”

I watched and listened carefully as he explained each step of working a gas pu way he carried himself Sadness swept over me when he placed the pump back on the machine and tore off my little slip of a receipt I didn’t want this et back to After all this ti ht my attention at a service station That would be silly

“Thank you soto shove them into the pocket of my shorts

“Anyti here?” he asked

“No Just driving through I’m on a road trip to nowhere and everywhere ”

Woods’ eyebrows narrowed and he studiedDo you know your final destination?”

I didn’t have a clue I shrugged “Nope I guess when I find it I’ll know it ”

We stood there a moment in silence I started to move when Woods’ hand reached over and touched et back on the road? It’ll be dark in an hour Won’t you be stopping in a town soon to get a place to spend the night?”

He had a point This was a nice little town- very classy and coastal It see about safe though I was finally living I was throwing caution to the wind I stared up at the dark stranger in front of me He wasn’t safe Not in the least

“Dinner sounds nice Then et a rooht ”
