Possessive Trucker by Flora Ferrari

SOPHIE

I’ve got the job, I’m leaving home. I’m finally leaving the farm.
Then just as quickly… I haven’t got the job. I’ve got nowhere to go and I can’t get home.
Cherry on the cake of my day? I left my bag on the bus… the one with all my money, cards and clothes in it.
Just when it feels like things have gone from bad to worse, I meet Thorn.
I know never to get in a car with strangers, but getting trucked by Thorn?
That’s not something any right-minded girl would sneeze at.

THORN

I’ve driven enough rigs on highways, in all seasons to know a girl in trouble when I see one.
I also know what I want when I see it. I don’t need convincing when an angel descends to earth right in front of me.
Right from the restrooms in Rick’s roadhouse of all places.
She’s a curvy younger girl who’s having the day from hell.
Me? I’m the older guy who can save her, help her out but I don’t want to be just another thorn in her side today.
No way.
After two minutes with her, I want to be the thorn in her front.
