Chapter Fourteen

Jade

Killian pulls into the parking lot of Knox Motors, and I stare at him confused. “Where are we?”

“Rome owns this place. This is where we hang out most of the time.”

“When you’re not stealing or racing cars.” She chuckles, covering her mouth.

“Yeah, smart ass,” I quip. “You know, your car was the first one I ever stole.”

She snorts. “Well, I guess I should consider myself lucky then.”

“I just mean that I don’t normally do that. My participation is more from the sidelines. We didn’t have a lot of time left that night, and I figured your car was one of the easier ones on the list, so I offered to take it.”

“I still can’t believe you and your friends steal cars for a living. It’s like something from a movie.”

I smirk. “Where do you think movies get their ideas from?”

“Yeah, I know,” I mutter. “It’s just I never thought I’d ever meet someone who does something so dangerous. Aren’t you afraid of getting arrested and spending the rest of your life in jail?”

Killian shakes his head. “Nope. I’ve never been afraid of anything. It’s hard to be afraid to lose things when you don’t have much left to take.”

“You still have your freedom. The possibility of a pro hockey career. Do you want to throw that away to make a few bucks?”

“It’s not a few bucks,” he snaps. “And my friends need my help, at least for now, until I can figure out something more long-term. The chance of going pro is slim. I’m not getting my hopes up for nothing. Until I know my next move, I have to do whatever it takes to survive.”

“How much did you get paid to steal my car?”

“The buyer asked Rome to deliver a certain number of cars,” he says, avoiding the answer to my question. “I had a week to scout them, and the guys had to figure out how we were going to get each one without landing in jail. Yours was an add-on we weren’t expecting.”

“Well, how much did you make from the job?”

He leans back against the leather seat, dropping his arm to the armrest, his green eyes blazing with a fire behind them. A beat passes between us where he sucks in a deep breath, looking away for a second. “I really shouldn’t tell you these kinds of things, Jade. Rome and Chase are already pissed that I brought you tonight.”

“I’m your girlfriend… they’d better get used to me.”

He cracks a smile. “You’re cute when you’re mad, you know that?” Reaching over the center console, he presses a kiss to my lips, and my head spins from the sensation that rocks through my body.

“Stop trying to distract me, Killian.” I speak the words against his lips, and he sinks back. “If you don’t want to talk about money, I get it.”

“No, you don’t,” he counters. “You have money. You grew up with everything handed to you on a silver platter. Money is not something I normally talk about with anyone other than my friends.
