His arm banded around her.
She instinctively tightened her grip on him.
He slammed on the brakes, sliding the truck to a stop amidst the trees. A dust cloud rolled over them, but it was quickly blown away by the storm’s volatile winds.
Thunder boomed louder.
Ozone tickled her nose.
Cade shoved open the door and, pulling her into his arms, took her with him when he hopped down from the cab. He carried her with sure steps to the rear of the truck before he set her down.
She wobbled, her heels sinking into the dirt. “My shoes—”
“Stay on,” he said, blindly reaching for the tailgate handle and lowering the impromptu seat. Raw need made his smooth voice deeper, giving it a rough, commanding edge. His eyes darkened.
The first drop of rain hit her bare arm. She shivered. “This is crazy.” She took a step back and her ass hit the edge of the tailgate.
He reached out and wrapped his hand around her neck, tightening his grip. “Insane.”
Emma nodded her head, the movement minute. “There’s a zipper on the side. Pull it.”
Cade found the zipper tab and hesitated. “Do you want this, Emma? Say no and it all stops.”
Her pulse fluttered faster than a hummingbird’s wings. “And if I say yes?”
A flash of lightning lit his face, burning his image into her mind in stark relief before she was left blinking and trying to see through the burnout that had stolen her sight. She reached out and laid a hand flat on Cade’s chest.
“This is irresponsible,” he said softly.
“Irrational.”
“Mad.”
She hesitated before offering, “Undeniable.”
He moved in, his hard body pressing against her. “Done,” he whispered, his mouth closing the distance between them.
The sky opened up the moment he kissed her.
