The same cute sound, from early that morning, that had been so damn attractive. Stow it, Marine. One more time, he debated sharing why it was important to wait on the supplies he needed. He’d be prepared this time.
“I’ll wash your clothes while you shower. How did you think we were going to clean up?”
“I … That can’t possibly be a good idea—what if they come here and I’m—”
“Soapy?” He laughed, unable to stop himself. The look on her face was priceless. “We weren’t followed. Promise. If you’re worried about getting on the road, you should probably get moving.”
