We drove in silence for a solid tenthe city behind I didn’t want to ruin the mood, didn’t want to make hiot the better of ht he would’ve just taken me to the apartroup ho the noisy car up into the mountains well past the Hill and a world away froer and people still thought they could beat me in a street race, we used to come up here and let the cars run full-out It’s quiet and the ride up there is quiet, peaceful even I figure since neither one of us knohat life is going to look like in the next few days, I can give us one nice memory to take away from it all”

I wanted to tell hi it sounded, but I knew co me that I mattered For him, that was as close to an admission that I et I just kept h, and let hiht

The drive really was lovely Well, what I could see of it as it raced by in a dark blur out theThe trees were eerie shadows in the dark, and the ruh to lureinside me, to fully relax I wanted to tell him just to pull over to the side of the road and let me jump him, but he seemed focused on the final destination, and I wanted to let him have that

He finally pulled to a stop twenty minutes later The car rumbled to a stop and he turned to look at me in the deathly silent interior He reached out and used a finger to push some of my curls out of my face “Colad I had his hoodie since this high up the night air was a little chilly When I rounded the hood of the car and stopped next to where he was leaning, I felt the air rush out of hts from the Point and the Hill twinkled like little stars that had been forced down froliness that lurked down below could be seen It was like this place was untouchable

Bax put an arm around my shoulders and pulled me to his side I felt his lips brush across arette he had sh This bluff is the perfect spot to line two cars up and then race down the mountain I won the title to more than one sweet ride up here”

I put my arm around his lean waist and buried irls? Did you bring all of your conquests up here?” Jealousy was evident in ht of hinificent view, and I wasn’t scared for him to know it

“Conquest implies I had to work at it Back then it didn’t eable, and the idea that I had to put any kind of effort into getting laid never even occurred to ht up here”

He shifted ainst the hood of the car His hands were pressed on the cold metal on either side of ot the restoration done and got it back fro ht the Runner wassuch a badass I barely had her for a hen I ended up locked up”

He leaned e hiaveon the hood withto try and tell ed when you sawyou had ever seen?”

He grinned down at ht you were ordinary I didn’t understand why Race was risking everything for you”

Well, that was a bit of an ego diffuser, but there was no escaping the heat burning down at aze

“And then you opened your mouth All that love, all that loyalty, all the innocence, even though life had kicked you around tiain, and all I wanted to do was let soht touch me I’ve never had very clean hands, but the first tiasp out of that perfect mouth, the first time I thrust into you, God, Dovie, youin a land of second chances”

I was stunned He wasn’t much of a talker in the best of times, but man, when he put his mind into it, he had a ords that was incoive hi himself to the wolves, butaround it Besides, he was unzipping the front of the hoodie and using one of his hands to push me farther back so I was laid out on the hood of his prized possession I shiveredacross my skin as he yanked open the buttons on ress was stopped by the hook of h that he could get it open and loose enough to shove out of his way

The contrast between the brisk air touching my naked skin and the heat inside the suction of hismy hands into his scalp and arched my back up off the ed wet kisses across my chest and treated my other breast to the same treatment he had lavished on the first one I wound a hand around the back of his neck and held hio When he finally lifted his head after sucking and licking and biting all of me that was exposed, I yanked him down to my mouth for a kiss that left no doubt how I felt about hile bit of fear, love, panic, passion, unease, and everything else he always churned up inside ed hih for hi-sleeved T-shirt until his naked chest was pressed against ainst each other

He was so beautiful, dark and wild, just like the night around us He kissed me on the side of the neck then sank his teeth into the soft skin of my earlobe and chuckled into my ear

“Normally I think it’s pretty cute you dress like a dude, but in the current circu to sacrifice my left nut for you to be in a short-ass skirt”
