Staring at his eyes, her face deadpan, she said, “I didn’t jostle your broken hand, did I?”
“No, no. My hand’s—”
Again she cut him off, this time by smothering his mouth with hers. She withdrew and said, “I’m glad Brandon gave us brushes and toothpaste. I don’t think this’d be possible otherwise.” She kissed him again, longer, more intensely, then said, “I was thinking you might want to take a little sabbatical from the middle school, work for me for a while. Good pay. Nothing illegal if you don’t want.” She covered his mouth again before he could answer.
Stephen nearly passed out from the pleasure. When she let him speak again, he breathed, “Okay.”
“This isn’t part of the job, of course. There’s no obligation.” Another kiss. “Except for right now. This morning you don’t have a choice.” Another kiss.
“Okay.”
“The last time I was stuck in the middle of nowhere with someone,” she said, “I waited and waited and he didn’t do a thing the whole five days. I’m not waiting any longer this time.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t get me wrong,” she said. Another kiss. “This ain’t love.”
“Good.”
She sat back, pinning his legs to the ground. “What do you mean
good
?”
“You’re way too bad-ass for me.”
“You’re right.” She pulled off her tank top and attacked his mouth with hers again. “But I’m serious about having you work with me. Mostly research, since you’re good at that.”
“Okay.”
“Take your own shirt off. I don’t want to hurt your hand.”
Brandon came for them just before dusk
nine days later. The quarantine was over.
