Chapter 18

My mom hears me as she passes, great.The way she frowns at me makes me want to slap myself upside the head. I’m horny and hard and they’re taking their sweet old time getting ready to go…but if I rush her out the cabin, she’ll want to know why. She’ll suspect something and, I don’t know, cancel her own plans just to ruin mine. Go, I pray again, giving her a tight-lipped grin. Just go already. Please.

Finally—finally!—the door closes behind them, and before I even throw the lock, I’m on the phone dialing Travis. “Hey,” I breathe into the receiver when he answers.

He laughs, a warm sound that settles deep inside me. “They left yet?”

“Just walked out the door.” I twist the phone cord in my hands, nervous. “You can come now.”

“I’ll come when I get there,” he jokes. “And believe me, I’m already halfway there.”
