Lauren loved the way Jack drove. It was a simple thing, but he maneuvered the car with an ease that made her realize he was always in control. “Did your dad teach you to drive?”

“Yeah. Do I make you nervous?”

“Absolutely not. You’re a very good driver.”

He said nothing until he braked at a stoplight. “My dad wasn’t around a lot, but he did give me one piece of advice about driving.”

“Is it something that only a Montrose can know? A Diamond Dave secret that’s passed from one daredevil to the next?”

“Ha. I’m not an edge-of-the-seat crazy stuntman.”

“I didn’t think your dad was crazy. We went to see him twice when I was a kid. I almost stopped breathing when he made his motorcycle flip over.”

Jack chuckled. The light changed and he started driving again with the same speed and skill, and she realized he hadn’t really answered her question. Maybe he wasn’t comfortable being the son of a celebrity.

God knew she hated being tracked down and questioned by her mom’s rabid fans. “Sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”

“How did you do that?” he asked, taking one hand from the wheel and putting it on her leg. His warmth burned through the fabric of her jeans. It was hot and heavy and made her aware—achingly aware—of how close his touch was to her center.

Suddenly she felt as if she should cross her legs. But doing so would announce her nervousness at his touch. Her thoughts were scattered and she didn’t know if she could get them marshaled. What had they been talking about?

She glanced over at Jack when he squeezed her leg. In the fleeting light of the street lamps he went in and out of focus, much as he did in her mind. He was clear to her one second, deep-dark mysterious the next.

She’d been trying to find out about his past. His dad, Diamond Dave Montrose. Second only to Evel Knievel, the daring stuntman who’d jumped his motorcycle over anything.

“You okay? I asked you why you thought I was uncomfortable.”

She shook herself. She needed to keep her wits about her. “Yeah, I’m fine. I worried that by asking about your dad I might have upset you. Ty talks about him all the time.”

“Men don’t get upset. That’s a girlie thing.”

“Having emotions doesn’t make you girlie. Everyone has them.”

“Right, but only woman have to dissect them and get…bothered by them.”

“I forgot that you were a big, bad he-man. My mistake.”

“Don’t let it happen again,” he said with a grin that made her melt. He was a grade-A flirt and tease. She knew without a doubt that if she kept things light between them they could have a red-hot affair that would burn out before summer.

He didn’t even keep a car more than six months. Make that matter, she thought. But the thrill of being with him made the vehicle thing hard to ignore. It was another warning that this wasn’t forever. That her goal of marriage someday soon wasn’t going to happen with this man by her side.
