Tyler was weighing his limited options when he heard a female voice say, “Hang on. Let me move this and then you can slide it right inside.”
He lay helpless while the tarp was whipped to the side, exposing him to the beam of the parking lot light. At the sight of him, the woman screamed and jumped back.
Truth be told, he nearly screamed too. He scrambled to sit up, before he realized he might not want to be sitting up. He still wasn’t positive where the scorned fiancé had gone.
“Hey, Tyler.” There was amusement in the male voice that came from his left.
Still partially blinded, Tyler turned his head to the side to see a guy he’d gone to high school with standing next to the truck and grinning as he balanced a fence post on his shoulder.
Hell of a time for a high school reunion. Not having much choice, Tyler tipped his head in greeting. “Hey, Jed.”
“You know him?” the woman asked.
“I do.” Jed grinned wider. “Don’t worry. He’s harmless.”
She let out a breath and held her hand to her chest. A fall of dark hair brushed her shoulders as her gaze swung from Jed to Tyler. “You scared the hell out of me. What were you doing under there?”
“Um, it’s a long story.” Sitting up, Tyler glanced at the woods and decided to take his chances with the crazed bouncer rather than look like more of a fool by continuing to lie in this woman’s truck bed. He pulled himself upright and then went to work fastening the open fly of his jeans.
“Oh, don’t worry, Ty. We have the time to hear your explanation. I’m sure it will be worth it.” Jed grinned. He hadn’t missed the fact Tyler’s pants were hanging open enough to show his underwear.
Neither had the woman. Tyler saw her bite her lip to control a smile as she averted her eyes.
