An engine started to rumble from farther off, and the

ground under me shook a little harder. What was that?

I turned my head to check with him, but all of a sudden,

the wind whipped past us and a loud horn blared as a truck, I

thought, zoomed right past us.

I gasped, feeling the car shake with the draft, and my

hands shook on the wheel, feeling the reflectors underneath

the right tires again. “Holy shit!”

I laughed, and I felt his body shake with his own laughter

behind me.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” I barked but smiled. “We

could’ve died!”

“Fun, huh?”

Asshole jerk.

And yes, it was fun.

“Ready for more?” he taunted.

“Yes.” I bit my bottom lip, butterflies still swarming my

stomach, but I couldn’t stop.

“In a minute, you’re going to jerk the wheel to nineo’clock,”

he explained. “I’m not going to slow down.”

“What?”

“In three…two…”

“Wait, you said I had ‘a minute’!” I yelped.

“One!” he shouted in my ear. “GGo!”

“Fuck…” I cried out, jerking the wheel left to nine o’clock

and gasping. “You!”

The car skidded, bouncing and barreling over the

pavement and onto a gravel road, and I felt his hand cover the

top of my head as our bodies were thrown side to side, my

skull damn near hitting the roof.

“Oh, my GGod, oh, my GGod…”

He down shifted. “Straighten out,” he told me.
