not about to get all bit to hell by bugs just so you can get some tail.”
    “I have bug spray,” he said, like that was a simple answer.
    “Where? Up your bum?”
    “Nope, not into that. Would you be surprised if I told you I might have stashed some supplies last night in said pretty spot?”
    “No, I’m not surprised in the least. Things come easy for you don’t they, William Klein?”
    “Depends on how much of a fight you put up. Normally yes, they do. If you want to give me a run for my money, it will just make the catch that much sweeter. But I will catch you, Monkey. I will have you. Best come to terms with that. If that’s scary, it’s okay. But it doesn’t change the fact that you’re mine.”
    Delaney saw that glow come back into his eye at the word mine . Curiosity was making her skin crawl wanting to know why his eyes did that. She wasn’t sure she wanted to know the answer, but the simple fact was she had to find out. Letting this man leave without finding out would drive her mad. Of course, him actually leaving without her seemed to be out of the realm of possibility. She’d never seen any man act the way he did towards her. It was forceful and demanding. But not mean. Instead of wanting to lash out at him, she felt like preening under the attention. What was with that? She felt pretty and sexy when he got all growly.
    “I’m not going to answer that yet. Let’s just ride,” she suggested.
    “You’re the boss.” He reached around her for her helmet.
    Delaney was pretty sure that if she stuck with him, he’d always say that. But it wouldn’t exactly be true. There was something so masculine and domineering about him that he could maneuver her into always thinking she was in charge when he was pulling the strings the whole time. She figured that was kind of any relationship. Usually, it was a trade-off of who got to lead and whose turn it was to follow. There was a good chance Will could keep up the charade for years that this was all her idea. In fact, she was starting to not even question his advances. That also might be because her brain had somehow slipped down her spinal column and was now resting in her pelvic region.
    She’d never been so horny in her whole life. The smell of Will, the glow of his eyes, and damn that man could talk sexy like nobody’s business. Delaney Jane knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that if she gave him the chance William Klein could talk her into an orgasm without ever laying a finger on her.

Chapter Fourteen
    F ollowing behind him , Delaney wasn’t paying super close attention to where they were going. She was focused on the man in front of her and attempting to calm down her hormones. She was failing miserably at it. The ride was just giving her time to replay everything Will had said to her. He’d talked marriage and babies. Who did that with someone they just met? It didn’t fall under stalker tendencies since that usually at least took some time and effort to become obsessed with someone. It seemed he was obsessed with her already. Obsession at first sight? Was that even a thing?
    Delaney was starting to believe it. She wished she had a girlfriend to chat with about it. Most of her sports girlfriends had moved away and the rest of her friends in school had been guys. The other girls thought she was running a long scam trying to steal their men by taking “boy” classes. Which was ridiculous since her options were limited in her small school.
    She couldn’t talk to her dad about it. Ray pretty much figured she was still twelve and that she would perpetually be twelve for the rest of her life. Delaney was actually more than a little concerned how Ray was going to react to the fact she was hooking up with a random guy. More concerning was the fact that she was thinking this interaction with Will was already going to happen.
    It was true; she wanted to see what this guy could do. There was so much potential in just the way he talked, the possibility
