“Hold your legs?”

Air rushed into the car suddenly, blowing my hair, and a

scream sounded from outside the car. My breathing turned

shallow. Was she sticking her head out the window?

“Come on, please?” she begged, tugging at my arm again.

“We’ll take you home in a few.”

I twisted my lips to the side. Fine.

Taking off my jacket, I left my phone and satchel in the

back and scooted up, swinging a leg over the front seat. Wind

blew under my skirt and my hair into my face, so I moved

quickly, sitting down between Miles and Astrid, the hair on the

back of my neck rising with fear and a little excitement. Déjà

vu hit me, and for a second, it was like he was here, taking me

on another adventure.

“Okay, I’m popping up,” Astrid said. “GGrab my legs and

hold on.”

“Wait…”

But she was already moving. The car charged down the

backroad, barreling and bouncing over the uneven terrain, and

I reached out, wrapping my arms around her jean-clad legs as

she sat up on the door through the open window.

Howling filled the chilly, night air, and the weight of her

body pulled at me as it hung over the side of the car. I fumbled

with my hands, unsure if I had a good enough hold of her.

She was going to fall. I couldn’t keep hold. What the hell

was she doing?

Whatever it was, she seemed to be loving it, though. She

laughed and screamed, and Miles just went faster.

He jerked the steering wheel, and I felt Astrid’s body get

thrown a little with it. I tightened my hold so hard, my muscles

ached.

“Damn, baby,” Miles said, and I hoped he was talking to

her.
