Jackie pursed her lips and then began to list things off on her fingers. “Public elevators, movie theaters, moving vehicles unless someone else is driving—”
“You’re kidding,” Marcus interrupted with amusement. “Moving vehicles?”
“She’s not kidding,” Vincent said, appearing behind his wife. Slipping his arm around her waist, he tugged her back against his chest and kissed the top of her head before saying, “You haven’t lived until you find yourself flying down the highway at top speed with your life mate bouncing around on your lap, shrieking with pleasure like a crazed baboon.”
Jackie flushed with embarrassment and elbowed her husband in the stomach, making him release her as she muttered, “You were the one shrieking like a crazed baboon.”
“Perhaps I was,” Vincent agreed with a grin as Jackie pushed past him to get out of the confined space.
“I’ve seen your car,” Marcus said dryly. “I wouldn’t think there was enough room in that little Lexus to—”
“It’s a convertible,” Vincent interrupted. “The top was down.”
“Dear God,” Marcus muttered as he got the visual. He was surprised there hadn’t been a pile-up, or a video caught and put on YouTube.
“It was the middle of the night,” Vincent said with a shrug, and then added, “Thank God. I wasn’t much good for steering, and I damned near passed out before I could pull over to the shoulder and get us stopped.”
“You passed out on the side of the highway?” Marcus asked with disbelief. That seemed damned risky.
“Yeah. It was,” Vincent said as if he’d spoken the thought aloud. “We got lucky, but I wouldn’t recommend it.”
Marcus shook his head and then turned to peer down at Divine, quickly tugging her blouse back into place when he realized she was still on view. Only then did Vincent leave the door to join him.
“How did she take finding out you’re her life mate?”
Marcus grimaced. “She seemed a bit upset before I kissed her.”
“Hmm.” Vincent nodded, not appearing surprised. “Did she say anything useful before you two got too caught up?”
“Do grunts and moans count?” Marcus asked dryly. “It came over us pretty quickly.”
“Yeah, it does,” Vincent acknowledged. “Jackie wasn’t kidding about places to stay away from. She’s probably making a list as we speak.”
They both chuckled at that, but then Vincent sobered and said, “But in case she forgets it, definitely stay away from any grocery shopping at night. And the store freezer is not a good spot to drag her to if things get hot and heavy.”
When Marcus turned to peer at him with disbelief, he nodded solemnly. “I must have fallen off of her as I passed out. When I woke up three of the night crew were standing there gawking at us like idiots and my dick was frozen to a metal shelf.” He winced at the memory and muttered, “Nasty.”
Marcus shook his head with a sort of horror, and then grabbed him by the shoulders, turned Vincent toward the door and gave him a push to get him moving. “Get out of here. I don’t want to hear any more of this.”
“Just trying to give you some helpful advice,” Vincent said with a shrug, but he did leave the room.
Marcus walked over and was about to close the door when Vincent appeared again and announced, “I ran a hose to the water supply while you two were making out between the RVs. Since you were busy I hooked you guys up too and then plugged both RVs into the power supply. You have power and water if you want to take a shower and wash away some of that dirt.”
