“No,” Draven stated.
“No?”
“We don’t have time for you to find someone and go behind the building.”
“I’ll just go get my food,” I said, motioning toward the restaurant.
“I’ll go with you,” Draven said.
“I think I can get my own food, McNaughty.”
“McNaughty?” Athan roared with laughter.
“Fuck you.” Draven advanced on him, and Athan held up his hands. My face flamed with embarrassment, but I kept walking. “I have bags for you.”
“That shit’s cold,” Athan whined.
I didn’t hear the rest of the conversation because I stepped inside the warm building. After ordering a ten piece nugget, BBQ sauce, and a large fry with a large sweet tea, I went back outside to see Draven and Athan leaning against the trunk of my car.
“Everything good?” I asked.
“We’re ready to go,” Draven stated.
My gaze dropped down to his crotch, and I noticed his erection. I licked my lips, and then my traitorous eyes moved over to see Athan had one too. They’d obviously fed, and now they were showing it.
“Let’s get back on the road then.”
“There’s only one bed,” I teased, walking into the room of the hotel.
After I ate my fried goodness, I fell asleep, only to wake when Draven pulled up to where we were staying for the day. I wasn’t even sure how we’d crossed the border into Canada. But knowing what Draven was capable of, I was sure it didn’t matter that I was in dreamland.
Draven shut the door and threw our bags on the floor. He picked me up, and then fell backward onto the bed with me on top of him. “We can build a pillow wall if that makes you feel any better.”
I leaned down and pressed my lips to his. “No pillow wall needed. This will be the first time we share a bed and webothsleep.”
“That it will be.” He smirked and rolled us so he was on top. “But if you wake before the sunsets, you know you can’t open the curtains, right?”
“I know that.” I looked over to the coffeepot near the sink adjacent to the bathroom. “What about breakfast—or I guess it will be lunch when I wake up? Should I just go get something?”
“While it will be daylight, I don’t want you going out in a strange town. If something were to happen to you, I wouldn’t be able to protect you.” He stood and my arms reached for him to not go. He smiled. “Better we get you something before the sun rises.” Draven dug his phone out of his pocket, and after hitting a few buttons, he held it to his ear. “Calla needs lunch for tomorrow while the sun’s still out.” He tilted the receiver away from his mouth. “What do you want, sweets?”
I shrugged and looked around the room, only to see a mini fridge but no microwave. “I don’t know. A turkey sandwich or something that doesn’t need to be heated up.”
“You got that?” Draven asked back into the phone. “Get some chips and water too. What kind of chips,” Draven asked me.
“Any.” I wasn’t picky when it came to carbs.
“Anything else?”
“We can stop tonight and get some stuff for the next few days.”
“Right. Yeah.” Draven pressed a button on the phone and then tossed it on the dresser behind him where the TV sat. “So where were we?”
I sat up. “I really need to shower before we do anything.”
“Remember what happened last time we showered together?”
“I do.” I bit my lip.
