This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and occurrences are a product of the author’s
imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, places or occurrences, is purely
coincidental.
With a blizzard taking over Chicago, traveling businessman Valentin Markovic found
himself in Des Moines, Iowa, grounded until the airport opened. While there, he
meets Clay Davenport, a long-haul semi-truck driver that is kind and friendly. Val is
in a hurry to get back home so Clay offers to drive him to the Windy City and he
accepts. But once they are alone and on the open road, desire rises and threatens to
consume them. Clay isn’t into one night stands, but Val makes him want things he’s
never considered before. Can a one night stand with a sexy stranger possibly turn into
something more? Or will the slow ride be disastrous for them both?
Chapter One
The rain splattering all around was enough to make Valentin Markovic wish
he’d stayed at home. The icy droplets hit the top of his head as he made a run from the
hotel parking lot, where the cab had dropped him off, to the diner across the street.
After a day of flying around the country, it was now evening, and he couldn’t
remember the last time he’d had a decent meal. He took the one bag he’d brought with
him, a carryon he used for travel. His flight had been delayed again due to snow, and
he was now stuck in Des Moines, Iowa until the planes were able to fly into Chicago.
Val opened the glass door and stepped inside, instantly feeling warmer. The
establishment was small and only had a few people working. Most of the patrons were
truck drivers since the diner doubled as a truck stop. Nearly half of the booths were
empty, and Val grabbed one, plopping down on the cracked vinyl seating.
He’d traveled to Vegas to attend a conference for business and had been flying
home when O’Hare had shut down all flights to and from. They’d told him they would
notify him once they were accepting flights, but according to the news, nobody was
getting down the runways in Chicago anytime soon. The city was completely covered
in snow, and the white crap kept falling from the skies without any remorse. He
glanced outside. At least where he was, it was only icy rain.
Val smiled as the waitress brought him a menu.
“What can I get you, hon?”
“A coffee.” He glanced over the menu items. “I’d also like a bowl of chili with a
grilled cheese sandwich.”
“Sure thing. Anything else?”
“That’s it for now.” He handed her the menu and rubbed his hands together for
warmth. The weather sure did suck. He hadn’t planned on the sudden blizzard taking
