        My truck rolls to a stop and I put it in park. My body aches and my sinuses sting with a mild headache. I've never drove for sixteen hours straight in my life and I hope I never do again.

Do I regret it? Not even a little.

I look to my passenger seat to see Olivia curled on her side with the seat all the way back, my jacket covering her for more warmth.

She fell asleep three hours ago after we got takeout from a late night diner in the middle of nowhere.

I've almost been awake for twenty four hours and the pain in my neck and muscles shows that. Looking at how comfortable and listless Olivia is makes me a little jealous.

Her nose scrunches when a piece of her bangs falls, tickling her. I reach out and slip my finger beneath the evil strand that disturbed this sleeping beauty and I flick it away from her face, soaking in the relaxation that smoothes out the wrinkles between her brows.

I blink out of my Olivia daze then I lean over the back of the seat to grab her small suitcase, opening my door and closing it as quietly as I can as to not wake her up. I leave the car running and the heat on.

Everyone in the house is either asleep or not home, thank god. I don't need them dogging me with questions about where I've been.

I set her bag in my room and pull the sheets back on my bed so I won't have to struggle doing it later. I grab a thick soft blanket from the top of my closet and jog back down the stairs, back outside in the cold autumn air to my truck.

Turning the ignition off, the heat blowing from the vents dies out. I round over to her side and peel my jacket off her to shrug it back onto my shoulders. I lay the blanket over her and my heart physically clenches when she nuzzles her face into the plush blue fabric.

I tuck it around her so nothing is exposed to the cruel freezing winds.

"I need to carry you baby, let me take you to bed," I whisper, snaking my arms underneath her shoulders and the backs of her legs.

She hums, the sound edging dangerously close to a moan. With her teasing earlier today and her nonstop staring while I drove, anything she does at this point is going to automatically be sexualized in my brain whether I want it to or not.

I grit my teeth and lift her, closing my eyes with a deep breath when she cuddles into my chest. Her sweet scent and perfect warmth encasing me.

"Pretty boy is so strong," she whispers groggily as I close the truck door with my hip. A smile pulls at the corner of my mouth.

"These muscles aren't just for show," I mumble back, easily walking up the couple steps to the door and thanking my past self for not shutting it all the way.

The quiet of the house makes her even breathing and low adorable giggle seem way louder than they are.

Nuzzling her nose across the skin of my neck, she inhales, sending goosebumps across my skin. I almost stumble walking through the living room but I catch myself before anything happens.
