Ellie couldn't help but feel her life was about to fall to pieces again. A relentless unease settled deep in her belly, warning her the other shoe was going to drop soon. Of course, the notion was silly. She'd hidden herself away quite nicely. The past two years had been spent picking up the pieces and she thought it was more or less back to where it should be. She was actually happy, an emotion that had been foreign to her before she'd finally fled and found herself here.
"Here" being a small town on the cusp of absolutely nowhere. In her teenage years Ellie would sooner die than live in a place like this, but at 28 the town was a sanctuary. Most of the people were transient; truckers, hunters. Here for no more than a few days before driving off down the highway. There were a small few who called the tiny town home, most of whom she knew well by now.
No point worrying about it.
Ellie mused to herself in a vain attempt to quiet her humming mind as she wiped down the counter top in Flo's Diner.
Acknowledging that there was no point dwelling on it didn't keep Ellie from worrying though. She'd been distracted all day, horny and anxious at the same time. It was a hell of a combination and one she didn't much care for. Being easily sidetracked wasn't a good idea when handling food as people tended to be more cantankerous when they were hungry.
The diner's namesake was counting down the drawer while Ellie did the final touch ups before they closed for the night. Watching Flo, Ellie hoped Theo would pull up soon. Now she'd moved in with him, she no longer lived in the little apartment above the diner and didn't want to keep Flo waiting.
Right on cue a truck coming down the road turned into the parking lot before backing into the space left of the door.
"If you're done, you can go ahead and head on out, Ellie." Flo's voice broke her from her train of thought, bringing Ellie back to reality.
"You sure, Flo? I don't mind staying until you're done." She actually did but Flo had saved her ass. If she wanted Ellie to stay an extra ten minutes then that's what she would do.
"Nah, I'm almost done countin'. Just need to fill in the paperwork. No point keeping him waiting." Inclining her head towards the truck, Flo shut the cash register down.
"Thanks, Flo." Finishing with the counter, Ellie put the rag up before bundling up. "See you tomorrow!"
"See ya hun! Tell Theo I said hi."
"I will." With that, she unlocked the front door and stepped outside.
Jesus Christ why didn't I bring pants?
The knee length skirt did absolutely nothing to protect her legs and the panty hose only took the edge off. It was brisk in the late morning when Ellie had come to work. Now it was pitch black and the cold was out with a vengeance. Ellie couldn't get inside the truck fast enough as she bolted from the diner.
A violent shiver wracking her body as she adjusted to the warm cabin of the truck, Ellie huffed. "It is freezing out there!"
"Come here; I'll warm you up." There was no intonation to his voice but her thoughts wandered anyway. Lifting the console, she scooted into the third seat and all too happily tucked herself up against his side. The man was like a furnace. Hearing him chuckle slightly, she stayed curled up next to Theo as he started to drive off. Reaching for the dial on the radio, Ellie was seconds away from changing the station when the broadcast was interrupted.
"This just in: A prisoner from the Green Ridge Penitentiary escaped earlier this evening. Authorities are searching for the man, but urge the public to not pick up hitchhikers, especially in the surrounding area-"
The announcement was probably going to go on further, but Ellie continued with her channel surfing. "Did he not realize he'll freeze to death out there?" Talking mostly to herself, she gave up on finding a station, turning the volume down and dropping her weight against Theo.
"Desperation will make a man do stupid things but you'd think he'd of waited until summer." Theo replied. From his tone he didn't think the man would survive the night either.
"Mhmm..." She made a soft noise of agreement, her mind wandering again.
Speaking of desperate...
The stray thought trailing in her head, Ellie slid her hand down until it was resting inconspicuously on Theo's denim clad thigh.
While she didn't tilt her head to look up at him, she was certain he was watching her out of the corner of his eye. Without question he knew she was up to something. He'd likely be content with waiting to see what all she had in mind.
Sighing quietly to herself, Ellie trailed her fingers across his inner thigh, pleased to note how he shifted his seat and readjusted his grip on the steering wheel. Smirking but still refusing to look at him, Ellie continued with what she was doing. His sudden inability to sit still told her he could feel her tracing fingers even through the thick fabric of his jeans.
When she grew bored of that she turned her attention to his belt, shifting so she could support her weight on her legs and use both hands to get the stupid thing undone.
Damn southern men and their belt buckles.
Once that was done, Ellie was quick to undo his button and unzip his fly only to find he was going commando.
Well, that makes my job easier.
She felt fairly pleased with herself as she wrapped her hand around his cock, languidly stroking up and down. She didn't even need to see his face. His white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel told her exactly what she wanted to know.
Feeling herself get wet watching and feeling him harden under her touch, Ellie shifted her hips as she wished she had something to push up against. She could also feel her mouth salivating.
While she enjoyed giving him head, Ellie wasn't normally so gung ho about it but chalked her reaction up to simply being frisky. Not in the mood to waste too much time, once Theo was hard she engulfed him completely.
Ellie belatedly acknowledged that probably hadn't been the smartest decision she'd ever made. She'd surprised Theo to a certain degree, given how the truck jolted.
"Damn it, Eleanor! Could you have fucking
warned
me?" There was only a slight irritation to his voice despite his words. Her face was the picture of innocence as she let go of his cock with a
pop
!
