“You wouldn’t let that happen.”
“You’re right.” Jasper released the wheel with his right hand and slipped his arm over my shoulder. It took me a moment to realize that the touch was meant strictly to comfort, and it made me melt a bit. “I won’t let anything happen to you. You’re my favorite distraction.”
“So, where are we headed?”
“Nowhere,” Jasper said. “Literally.”
I looked around. The town had become quiet, the houses giving way to rolling, empty fields. The traffic had become scarce.
“Nowhere?”
Jasper nodded. “It seems like every time we try to do something, our guy is one step ahead of us. We go somewhere, he’s already there. We do something, he knows just what to do to counter it. So, we’re going to come at it from a different angle. Plus, we need to get your mind off of things.”
Jasper eased the car off to the side of the road and kept the engine running. He straightened himself in his seat, pulling out his gun.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Just in case.” Jasper peered down the steel sights and cocked the weapon. “Nobody knows where we are, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Then again, we’re out in the open. We’re exposed. I don’t want to take any chances.”
“Nobody will find us out here,” I said, but I liked how seriously he took my safety.
“That’s the plan. Now, let’s get your mind off things.” Jasper rolled down the window, switched the gun to his left hand, and let the firearm hang out. He rubbed the front of his jeans with his right hand. “I’ve been distracted, but I can think of one thing you can do to help me focus. Plus, it’ll take your mind off things.”
My eyes went wide, and I looked down. His cock was pressing against his pants, straining the denim. He was clearly ready to go, right here, right now, and realizing that made me weak in the knees.
“Here?” I wasn’t repelled by the thought, not at all. Rather, I was excited.
“Right here.” Jasper’s voice had thickened with need. When he raised the gun, resting it against the window, my pulse sped.
Wetness pooled between my thighs. Two days ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed of doing something like this. Today? With the idea now in my head, I wanted it. I craved it, the taste of him on my tongue.
Silently, my fingers found the zipper of his jeans. With sure movements, I freed his erection. In the dim light of the fading sun and the cool, green, digital glow of the clock on the dashboard, I could make out Jasper’s cock—it was long and fully erect, the veins engorged. I wrapped my fingers around it and squeezed.
“Oh fuck,” Jasper said, shuddering. “Yeah, this is just what you needed to relax,” he said.
I snorted. “Right, this is for me,” I said.
“It’s therapeutic,” Jasper said innocently. “I’m only thinking of you.”
“Right.” I couldn’t hold back my grin. Damn it, I liked this—liked our banter and liked him, even more than I liked the sex, and I liked that, well, quite a lot.
Bending over, I lifted my feet onto the seat and pressed my head into Jasper’s lap. Keeping a grip on the shaft with my fingers, I opened my mouth wide, and took him in.
The reaction was immediate. Jasper’s whole body tensed. If he’d had his finger on the trigger of his gun, he probably would have accidentally fired into the pavement. As my head dipped and my lips ran down the length of his shaft, Jasper raised his hips to meet me.
“Oh fuck,” Jasper said again.
I flicked my tongue over the underside of his shaft and Jasper twisted and groaned, doing a little dance in his seat. I went in deep, letting his swollen head poke at the back of my throat, and when I did so, Jasper depressed the accelerator, and the truck revved to life. I giggled.
“Cari!” Jasper said. “Watch the teeth!”
“Suh-wee,” I mumbled. Brushing my hair aside, I leaned in again, letting Jasper’s cock pierce my throat. Jasper groaned again, seeming to melt into his seat.
“All right, take it easy,” Jasper said at last. He gripped my forehead and pulled my head away from his lap. Setting the gun on the seat beside him, he zipped up his pants.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Nothing,” he said with a grin. “Nothing at all. But I don’t like feeling exposed like this. We have to get somewhere else, somewhere safer.”
