Rayne

Ohfateohfateohfateohfate.

What have I done?

I just wrecked Wilde’s Jeep. I don’t even know what or who I hit because my face slammed down on the steering wheel on impact.

I wrecked Wilde’s Jeep. I don’t even have a driver’s license. I took it without his permission.

I’m so dead.

In the next moment, the door flies open and Wilde yanks at my body, fighting with the seatbelt until he gets me free.

“I’m sorry!” I squeak, thinking he’s furious. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have taken your Jeep. Please don’t kill me.”

“Rayne. Fuck. Are you okay? Look at me.” Wilde’s propped me on my feet, leaned me up against the Jeep, and his hands roam all over me, checking for injuries.

I crane my neck to look around behind me to see what I hit.

Oh, God. The mailbox. I backed the Jeep at full speed right over the concrete planter and into the metal mailbox post. The back fender of the Jeep is now completely wrapped around the tilted post.

I rub my bruised forehead. It hurt a fuck-ton in the moment, but the pain has already diminished, which seems strange.

I’m way more concerned at this point about what Wilde will do when he sees the extent of the damage. Or worse–oh fates–what Logan will do or say.

I’m so fucked.

So very fucked.

I drag in a sobbing breath and burst into tears. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I hurt your Jeep. I’ll pay for it to be fixed. I’ll give you my college money. Please don’t tell your dad.” I try to focus on Wilde’s face through my tears. “Please? Can we figure something out?”

Wilde seems to have calmed down. “Okay, Rayne. Go inside the house. Let me get the Jeep out of the planter before someone sees what happened out here.”

Relieved that Wilde at least knows what to do, I obey, walking on trembling legs into the house where I sink into the sofa. I think I’m in shock because absolutely no thoughts move through my head. I note no passage of time.

I’m not aware of anything until Wilde comes back into the house and shuts the door.

That’s when the tears automatically start to flow again. “I’m so sorry. I’ll pay for it. Please don’t tell your dad. Please–”

Wilde holds up a hand, and I stop, mid-plea. “You can keep your college money, Rayne.”

I stare up at him in surprise. When is Wilde ever magnanimous?

“I’ll probably be able to work off the repair at the auto shop. And yeah, we can keep this between the two of us.” He tips his head and gives me a cocky grin. “Right after I turn your ass red.” He sits down beside me as I launch to my feet. Wilde catches my waist. “Or you can deal with the wrath of Logan. You may have noticed he can be a real hardass.”

I go still, considering his offer.

His right-hand trails down from my waist, along the outside of my thigh to grip my calf. “Look, Rayne,” he says softly.

I look down and gasp.
