My face falls.Really?I take a deep breath."I don't want to talk about it."My tone is dismissive, and his tone changes.I hear a hard edge in it.

"Did he drop you off at the gate?"

"No.I told you.I left him there.I took a taxi home.Why are you so concerned?"

Our eyes connect, and I glimpse the hard edge."I'm trying to figure out if you are hurt."

"I'm fine," I smirk.

Mr.Sexy was worried about me.That's a good thing.

"So, what would you have done if I had been hurt?"

"I would have kicked some ass for you."He states matter-of-factly and puts the truck in drive.

I smirk and look back at the road."That's sweet of you and all, but not necessary.I can take care of myself."

He cuts his eyes at me, and I glance over.Then he turns to ask me with a flirty smirk."Do I need to help you bury the body?"

"No."I laugh at that."He's very much alive.But he paid dearly for being a shit."

"That's a good thing, Wild Thang."

I smile."Yes, it is."

Aurei takes his foot off the brake, and we move forward, but we creep along."So, where was the party?I'm not familiar with the road you went down."

"It was a private drive."

"Hmm.So why did you leave?"

"Let's just say, the guests were interested in mixing it up."

"Hmm."His eyes narrow, and he frowns as he ponders that information.Then he says in that soft, commanding voice."Explain mixing it up."

For the life of me, I don't know why I feel compelled to tell him, but I do."Ok.It was actually a cock and tail party.A sex party of swingers."

His frown deepens, and I see that hard edge return."Are you sure you're ok?"

"Positive.I can handle myself."I shrug it off.

He looks at me, and even in the low light, I see the concern again in his eyes."I never doubted that for a moment.But just because you can handle yourself doesn't mean you came out of the swinger's party alright.I did just find you walking home alone up a dark drive at 2 a.m."

Wow!That was a very sensitive thing to say."I'm good, really.Thanks."

He nods and turns his attention back to the road.

The silence in the cab is deafening to me."Lucky for me, I'm a Vegas entertainer."

He nods."Yeah, that's really lucky."He hits the high beams, and we creep along.

"Otherwise, I might not have managed to escape un-fucked."

His head turns toward me, and I can feel his intensity before I see the flash of thunder play across his face, and I continue, needing to make sure he understands who I really am."I'm not an easy piece of tail," I tell him flatly.

A slow smile spreads across his face, and I see that crinkle return to his eyes.He looks back at the road and says."That's for damn sure!You most certainly are not an easy piece of tail."

I ignore his response and look out at the road too, but the silence screams between us, so I confess further."I'm not that kind of girl either."
