“Where are we going?” I ask as Deano takes a turn that leads us to a barren dirt road, luring us into the thicket of woods that engulfs us the second the Bugatti passes the first tree.

“I promised your heart would burst from your chest, correct?” He smirks, turning those eyes of sin on me as they heat me from the core and stain my cheeks pink.

"You did," I reply, entranced with how beautiful and isolated the woods can be. They tower above us, enclosing overhead like we're the world's best kept secret and I smile.

"Worried?" he taunts, rough hand squeezing my thigh in comfort.

He isn't wearing a suit today, instead deciding on a pair of leather combat boots, ripped and faded jeans and a black shirt which clings to his muscles with a leather jacket that makes my mind short circuit.

He looks so casual, but so fucking lethal. And irrevocably fucking hot.

"Nope. I'm excited."

"I bet you are, but I wonder how excited you'll be when you see what I have planned." There is a lightness in his ocean eyes that makes my heart soar.

So brutish yet angelic. So ethereal and deadly.

The man is dangerous just being around.

A gorgeous sculpture carved from the gods. He stirs emotions within me that have no place consuming the feelings of this new persona. The way he glances at me with a look so fleeting but yet I feel is my undoing, proves it. With one look, he tears me apart and puts me back together again.

"On the count of three, okay, baby?" he asks, breathing through the haze of my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"I'm going to ask you a question and on the count of three, I want you to answer the first thing you can think of. Got it?"

I nod, turning in my seat so I can look at him as the corner of his mouth twitches at my excitement.

"Summer or Winter?"

Easy. "Winter."

"The ocean or mountains?"

"Both."

"Sweet romance or dark romance?" Briefly he flicks his gaze towards me before turning back to navigate the rocky terrain. I frown when I get jostled in my seat and suddenly become mad he brought this beautiful car off road.

"Dark," I utter distractedly. " You're going to ruin the car," I comment, my frown deepening.

"Car's fine, baby, concentrate." His hold on my knee tightens. "Jumping from a cliff or swimming with sharks?"

I laugh at the absurdity of the question and shake my head, my being light from all worry and I rest my head against the seat and smile at this marvelous man. "Cliff. There's nothing dangerous about swimming with sharks unless it's that time of the month and that's just stupid."

He laughs, head tilting back as he chuckles to the car's ceiling. "Yeah I guess it is."

"What about you? What would your answers be?"

"Hmm," he muses, thinking it over before nodding his head in agreement with himself. "Winter. Both and also both. There's something delicate about love don't you think? Forever a fierce kind of devotion? That in itself is its own adventure.
