Kenzie

The sun is just falling over the mountains creating a painting of brilliant colors when Dean comes out of the motel office waving something in his hand and a big smile on his face. We stopped off for a swim in a hot springs between Storm Canyon and Denver, and then we grabbed burgers and fries at a roadside dive and ate them in the car. It was casual and no pressure.

He grabs my hand and leads me to a door and using something that looks like a credit card lets us in, but once we’re in the room, he’s like a caged animal.

He grabs the curtains and closes them, even though they were only open a sliver, and then five minutes later, he goes back and makes sure they’re still closed. And then to the room door to make sure it’s locked. And then back to the window. He completes a round about every ten minutes, looking at his phone occasionally and texting with someone.

“You don’t think I know that,” he mumbles to himself after looking at his phone again.

“Dean?” I’m on the giant bed, sitting crossed legged. I didn’t even know they made beds this big. “Everything okay?”

He looks back. “I’ve got a meeting in the morning.”

“Okay. I’ll come with—”

“No, I… I need you to stay here. I got us a late check out at two in the afternoon, and that should be enough time for me to do what I need to and… you can take a bubble bath and chill out.” He runs his hand through the long hairs that are normally curved up and over, but right now are almost a mohawk.

It’s been forever since I had a bubble bath and that does sound inviting. But then I realize what he said.

“Should be enough time to do what?”

He comes to the side of the bed and cups my chin. “You don’t need to worry about the what, just the why, honey. And the why is you. I’m doing this so I can be with you, Kenzie.”

My stomach rides a nasty roller coaster. Not the kind that makes you scream with a thrill, but the kind that you wish you never stepped on that almost breaks your will.

Danger. Danger.

There’s a little siren going off in my head, but my heart is trying to run up there and knock that alarm out of service.

“Okay,” I say, smiling softly. “I’m here for you.”

“There’s so much I want us to do together. We… I mean I… I just need a clean slate.”

As much as I’m on edge, Dean’s practically vibrating.

“Why don’t you lay down and I’ll give you a back rub?” I tug on his t-shirt hem, running my fingers across his tense abs.

He raises an eyebrow. “Back rub, huh?”

“Yeah, I’m good at them,” I say with false bravado.

He chuckles. “One thing you’re not good at is… lying.”

“Well, I’ve never had the opportunity to be good at lots of things, Dean. But I’ve never wanted to touch a man like I do you.
