Grey tried to imagine what might be in Liam’s head. The scenarios ranged from hate to rage and allowed for other possibilities. She had asked him to take her home because she owed him. She had owed him gratitude for looking out for her. Now she owed him for saving her life even if she didn’t know how he’d known where to find her.

He said nothing as he turned away from home. At least nothing to her. He pulled his phone from the pack he’d set between the seats and dialed a number. The call was answered quickly and Ava’s voice filled the car.

“Liam.”

“Ava. You remember that option?”

“Of course. Let me get H.”

A moment later a strong, male voice came through the speakers. Liam muttered acknowledgements as H gave him instructions on bypassing a security system. Even after he ended the call he said nothing to Grey. He didn’t even look at her as he drove to a secret place.

Thankfully, the confinement of miserable silence in the car seemed to be a short one. He pulled into an empty parking lot of an unimpressive white building. There was no sign to announce what the place was or suggest why they were there instead of at Liam’s.

Like he’d taken to doing every time, he leaned over her and opened her door. The brush of his arm on her breast, the closeness of his face, in those beating moments, quickened passion’s pulse.

That made her think about the promise he’d made that morning about kissing. He would kiss her once a day, but he hadn’t kissed her yet and the day was almost over.

Liam pulled back and took his pack as he exited the car. The chill of rejection froze her. He wouldn’t be kissing her; she’d killed the desire.

Grey moved mechanically as she got out of the car and followed him to the building’s main entrance. He entered a code into the door pad and when she was inside with him he entered it again.

The moonlight shone through the large windows, allowing her to see the basic leather chairs and couches and the reception desk. Turning from the stark entrance, she followed Liam down the dark hall in a creepy silence and couldn’t help but ask, “What is this place?”

“Safe,” was his only answer as he went in and flipped on a light in a locker room.

The place was white, cold. She wouldn’t have described it as safe, though Liam didn’t seem concerned with what she may be thinking as he grabbed some towels and blankets from a cabinet. Maintaining his silence, he led her back out, flipping the light off as they left.

Down the hall, he pushed a quick release bar on the back door and stepped outside. Here, for the first time, Grey noticed the sound of the ocean. She only saw trees, though, until Liam turned down a sand path.

The water grew louder. A short time later they stepped onto a beach. It was a private one lit only by the moon and stars.
