He had an infectious smile and I ended up smiling back before laughing at our stupidity. “I didn’t expect any less from us.”
He was smiling down at me, while I watched the flames from the fireplace play around his face, noting how his sooty lashes framed his gorgeous eyes. When he smiled like this I tend to forget why I hated him so much.
Entranced and dazzled at his smile, the spell broke when he briefly checked his watch for a quick second before reverting back to me. “Well, this was not how I pictured things to end, but I guess this is goodnight.”
Wait, what? Goodnight? It’s not even midnight!“Where are you going?” I asked, not wanting for it to end. Not just yet.
He studied me a moment, pressing his lips together. “I have a race tonight.”
“Can I come?” I blurted out.Where the freaking fuck did that come from?
He shook his head while looking at me, thinking, before shaking his head again as he raked his hair with his left hand. “No. It’s too dangerous.”
Did he think I didn’t know that he always had women with him during these times? I had heard all about it, and I knew tonight was not any different. “Please?” I pleaded, surprising myself that I did in fact want to go and be there with him.
“People will wonder,” he argued with a straight face.
“Let them.” Yeah, I truly was losing my bearings here. What else? My pride? Self-respect? Underwear perhaps?
“Nah.” He looked away, looking torn before eyeing me again with a certain look about him. “I wouldn’t be able to think if you’re there.”
Biting my bottom lip, I made sure he saw me do that before pleading in a saccharine tone. “I promise to be good.” I surely was flirting with danger.
Grey groaned before letting out a long breath then groaned again as if pained. “But I don’t want you good. I like you bad, Liv.” He was staring at me with wild eyes. Those lethal tiger pools dropped low and watched my breasts rise high and low from my shallow breathing.
Leaning closer to his ear, I whispered, “Then I promise to be bad.” If this little flirting didn’t work, I was out of options.
He groaned, grinning at me so sexily, making me combust in flames. “If you ride with me,you ride with me.”
“Huh…?” I sounded like the clueless idiot that I was. “What does that all mean?” I asked, blushing, not from looking like a moron, but from his hot gaze.
Wickedness gleamed at me. “It means you have to straddle me, Liv.”
My mouth hung ajar. “While you drive?”
He nodded.
Shaking my head in disbelief, I stared at him like he had lost his mind. He probably did. I shouldn’t even wonder about that. “Is that even possible?”
He pushed against me, curling his thumb against the side of my neck before running it slowly upwards, behind my ear. “It is. Anything is possible,” he rasped out, taking my breath with him.
“You’re crazy,” I barely managed to say.
“So I’ve been told.” The side of his lips lifted, giving me the sexiest smirk I had yet witnessed. “Are you on?” He arched one perfect dark brow.
Am I on?Yeah, I definitely wasonsomething and his name was Greyson Edwards. “As long as you promise not to kill us both, I’m on board.”
“Yes ma’am, I promise.” He saluted, promising me madness.
CHAPTER12
Liv
After he madesure everyone was set to leave for the meet, Grey, Jet and I made sure the house was secured before leaving in separate cars. He waited until Jet left ahead of us in his suited up Acura RSX before glancing at me. We were barely out of the circular driveway when he killed the engine without warning.
“You forgot something in the house?” I double checked, confused at his actions.
He shook his head, staring ahead, pondering. “No, but I think we should try this one out.”
