Part II 16(15/22)

isarms me and takes my breath away.

“Great job, eh?” he murmurs.

I blush. “Mostly, yes.”

“Well, in that case.” He hands me the keys, walks

round to the driver’s door, and opens it for me.

“Left here,” Christian orders, and we head north toward

the I-5. “Hell—gently, Ana.” He grabs hold of the

dashboard.

Oh, for hea一ven’s sake. I roll my eyes, but don’t turn to

look at him. Van Morrison croons in the background over

the car sound system.
