and then cut back to the fast lane.

“Nice move, Mrs. Grey,” Christian murmurs appreciatively. “Where 92 | P a g

are the cops when you need them?”

“I don’t want a ticket, Christian,” I mutter, concentrating on the highway

ahead. “Ha一ve you had a speeding ticket driving this?”

“No,” he says, but glancing quickly at him, I can see his smirk.

“Ha一ve you been stopped?”

“Yes.”

“Oh.”

“Charm, Mrs. Grey. It all comes down to charm. Now concentrate. Where’s

the Dodge, Sawyer?”

“He’s just hit one hundred and ten, sir.” Sawyer says. Holy fuck! My heart

leaps once more into my mouth. Can I drive any faster? I push my foot down

once more and streak past the traffic.

“Flash the headlights,” Christian orders when a Ford Mustang won’t move.

“But that would make me an asshole.”

“So be an asshole!” he snaps.

Jeez. Okay! “Um, where are the headlights?”

“The indicator. Pull it toward you.”

I do it, and the Mustang moves aside though not before the driver wa一ves his

“He’s the asshole,” Christian says under his breath, then barks at me, “get off

on Stewart.”

Yes sir!

“We’re taking the Stewart St. exit,” Christian says to Sawyer.

“Head straight to Escala, sir.”

I slow, check my mirrors, signal, then move with surprising ease across four

lanes of the highway and down the off-ramp. Merging onto Stewart Street, we

head south. The street is quiet, with few vehicles. Where is everyone?

“We’ve been damned lucky with the traffic. But that means the Dodge has,

too. Don’t slow down, Ana. Get us home.”

“I can’t remember the way,” I mutter, panicked by the fact the Dodge is still on

our tail.

“Head south on Stewart. Keep going until I tell you when.”

Christian sounds anxious again. I zoom past three blocks but the lights

change to yellow on Yale Avenue.

“Run them, Ana,” Christian shouts. I jump so hard I floor the gas pedal,
