Chapter 14

15 hours and 4 stops later. We arrived in Salt Lake City. I punched in the directions for this shabby little motel on the outskirts of the city. It was around 4 in the morning and we were exhausted. We pulled into the parking lot and I scanned it for the others. Slightly annoyed when I didn't see them. Granted Bianca and Sam may have pulled over for a snooze and knowing Stefan, he took the scenic route. Hoping I would hear from them soon. I looked over at Dean and I told him that I'm going to go get the room keys. As I got out of the truck I noticed how sore I was from sitting there for hours. I walked into the check in office and there was a shady old woman sitting there smoking a cigarette, she looked up at me with bags in her eye. Must be hard working the graveyard shift. I got the room keys and hurried out of there. Seems like she didn't really want to be there either.

When I got back to the truck I was surprised that I didn't hear the crying of my dogs. They were patiently waiting for Dean to put their water dishes on the ground and fill them up. I smiled to myself and walked over.

"Soo… You have a choice." I said holding up 4 keys.

"What may that be?" He said, looking at me with those emerald eyes.

"Well, you could bunk with Sam and Bianca. Or with Stefan. Ooor you could bunk with Bill and Sookie. But I imagine that they wouldn't want you too." I looked at my dogs and smirked, "Or you could bunk with me and my pooches." Hoping that he would choose me.

He laughed and patted Opeth's big head, "Well that seems like a tough choice. I have shared a room with Sammy enough for a lifetime. I don;t know Stefan well enough, and as you said.. Bill and Sookie will want a room alone…" He said slowly running his tongue along his bottom lip before going on, "I think I'll bunk with you and your dogs."

A tingle went down my spine as he said that, and we walked toward the rooms. I opened up the door and put my suitcase on the ground. I looked at the little clock on the nightstand and it read 4:30 am. I opened up my bag and grabbed my pjs. Which was made up of his shirt and a pair of shorts. I went to the bathroom to change. As I closed the door, and let out a sigh. While I was putting on his shirt I could hear him undo his belt and unzip his pants. Damn., I would love to have seen that. When I was finished getting bed for some shut eye, I walked out of the bathroom. When I looked up I saw that Opeth was laying on the bed with Dean. I do wish that was me..

"She must really like you.. She doesn't usually snuggle with someone that she doesn't know well." I smiled at my pity.

"Well I guess she proved you wrong." Dean said with some satisfaction on his face.

"I never said that I was right." I looked at them, "maybe you should get some shut eye."

"What about you? Aren't ya going to sleep too?" He asked in a husky tone.

That made me melt. I shook my head and said that I was going to wait for the others to show up before I got some sleep. I grabbed a book that I brough and curled up on the other bed. He grumbled something that I couldn't quite make out and he quickly fell into a deep sleep. After a couple hours, I looked over at him and saw a peaceful man. There was a little crack in the curtains that allowed the sun to creep in. The ray was hitting his muscular stomach just right. I found myself staring at that for a while. Just then my phone dinged, it was Bianca telling me that made it to the motel. I looked at the clock and it was about 7 am. I slowly got up and snuck towards the door. As I walked towards the parking lot, I saw a very tired Bianca and Sam. I knew Night driving was hard but damn.

"Long trip?" I asked as I gave Bianca a quick hug.

"Something like that.. I cannot wait to curl up and SLEEP!" she yawned.

"Okay.. so here is your key. I decided to give you the room next to Dean and I. Also I think the others are just going straight there. I haven't heard anything from them." I said I'm starting to get tired myself.

"Dean is with you? I'm surprised that he didn't get a room of his own.." Sam chuckled.

"Oh?" I asked.

"Just when he can.. He loves being alone." Sam shrugged, "Oh well."

" Okay.. Well, I'm going to get some sleep before we all have to get back on the road. Let's meet up at like.. 2pm? Sound good?" I asked.

Bianca and Sam gave me a thumbs up and we all made our way to the rooms. Before we parted I had Bianca the other room keys asking if she could give them to the others when they got there. I opened up the door to my room and I saw that Dean was still sound asleep. Gently snoring. Opeth was cuddled up by his side and Lobo was on his back, belly in the air up my bed. I crawled into the bed alone with Lobo, who just grunted and stayed the way he was. I laid my head on the pillow and took a deep breath. I still smelled Dean on the short I was wearing and I quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.

As the ringing from my alarm goes off, my eyes flutter open. Both dogs were on my chest. I rub my eyes, waiting for my brain to wake up more. I turn my head towards Dean's bed. Which was empty. How long was I asleep for? I gave a big stretch and I could hear the shower shut off. A half wet and half naked Dean walked out of the bathroom. I couldn't help but stare. There was a drop of water that made its way down his 6 pack. I looked up at his face and he was smirking.

"You like what you see?" He asked as he put his hand above his head.

"Maybe." I said as I bit my lower lip.

"Just maybe?" He asked, mimicking my actions.

I shrugged my shoulders and got out of the bed. I walked over to my suitcase and grabbed my towel. I was going to grab my clothes butI was thinking about having some fun with this.

"Is that my shirt you're wearing?" He raised a single brow.

"Yepp. It's one of my new favorite." I smiled and walked into the bathroom.

I could smell the motel the soap that he used. Damn. Somehow he made that smell delicious. I stripped down and turned on the water. I was surprised at the pressure and how there was still hot water.

When I finished in the shower, I dried myself off and went to step out of the bathroom. As I did, I saw that Dean was in a pair of black boxer briefs. That must have gotten me distracted because I didn't notice that Lobo was sleeping right in front of the bathroom door. I tripped over her and as I did my towel fell off. I heard a chuckle from Dean. That was super embarrassing. As I was searching for my towel, Dean's feet were suddenly in front of me. I looked up and he was offering a hand out. I grabbed his hand and he helped me up. As I stood in front of him, he slipped his free hand around my waist and the other was still holding my hand. Face-to-face, his eyes never left mine, His stunning gems for eyes. I don't know how long we stood there, but I didn't want it to end.

He released my hand and it quickly went to my face, cupping my cheek. His hand felt like fire against my cool cheek. My eyes kept flicking between his lips and his eyes. That's when the glimmer of tongue slowly running his bottom lip bringing it between his teeth. My senses were tingling with pleasure, slowly tuning into his. He released his lip and took a deep breath in.

"Would… Would ya like to go out and get a drink in the next town we are stopping at?" He asked, unsure of what he was saying.

"Umm..sure." I said, taking in his scent.

"Cool. But we should get dressed. Blondie and Sam are going to be here soon and I don't want a repeat of last time." He winked and slowly releasing me.

I sighed, I never wanted him to let me go. I grabbed some clothes, deciding I was going to be a little lazy. I grabbed some leggings, a band-tee and a bra and matching underwear. After I was done getting ready, there was a knock at the door. As I walked out the door, this time looking at the floor, Bianca and Sam were sitting on my bed. She had brought coffee and food. Thank god.

Before I could take a sip of coffee, Stefan knocked on the door saying that Sookie and Bill had some business to do. They will meet us in Kansas.
