West

West reached forward to turn the heat on in the car. Even though the afternoon sun shone through the windshield, he was losing feeling in his fingertips as they held a death grip on the steering wheel. Unfortunately, the blast of hot air from the vents did not help matters. In fact, heating things up had likely made things worse.

He did not have the hots for Cat. It had to be the altitude from the zip lining. It had to be the adrenalin from the adventure. Maybe the harness had pinched a nerve?

Whatever the case, West needed to pick up the pace, cool things down, and get them both back to town. There was nothing like putting a beast back in its cage to remind him who he was and what he could and could not have. And Cat was definitely someone who was not for the likes of him.

West knew Cat had found out some of his history. But clearly, she hadn’t heard all the rumors if she was still socializing with him. Or perhaps she had and was hoping to sully her reputation by associating with him?

He typically kept his distance from that type of woman. But Cat didn’t strike him as a user. She seemed to genuinely want his company. And all he could do was think about kissing her.

Which would be wrong on so many levels. Starting with the level that the girl was clearly an innocent. West didn’t trifle with innocent girls. Not even when he was an innocent himself. The only women who had ever been interested in him were the types who were up to no good themselves.

“I appreciate all you’ve done for me these last couple of days.”

“What?” said West. He dared a sidelong glance at Cat. “Nearly get you arrested, ticketed, and dead?”

Another woman would have made a clear and open invitation. Another woman might’ve unbuttoned the top of her shirt. Another woman might’ve reached over and demanded a kiss from him while they sped down the highway.

Not Cat.

Instead of being curled toward the passenger side window like she’d been on their drive up, her body was angled toward him. She’d tucked her feet under her, rested her cheek on her hands, and was gazing over at him. This was worse than bad.

“You made me see what it’s like to be alive,” she said.

West tried to turn his attention back to the road, but he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Her smile was guileless. The light in her eyes was honest. He bet if he leaned over and tasted her lips, it would be like a sugar rush from cotton candy.

He felt the car listing to the right as he leaned over. Thankfully, Cat was the one who turned away. Her bright eyes went wide. She threw her hands on the dash and squealed.

“Look, West! It’s a county fair. Can we go? Please? I’ve never been to one.”

West slumped back into the driver’s seat, thankful at the change of topic. But also incredulous at her admission.
