Delphi’s head snapped back and she gripped the door handle beside her. “What’s he doing?”

“I don’t think he’s going to wait until we get out of his way.” Jeremy’s teeth clenched. “There are times I wish I was on my motorcycle. I’d leave this jerk in the dust.”

The road curved the other way and Delphi saw lights from Wellsville up ahead. It was a tiny town, but it would give them a place to get out of the truck’s way. Wheels ground against metal and the truck’s engine roared as it came forward and hit them again.

Delphi gripped the door handle and the side of her seat, wondering if this was going to be it for them as a final curve approached before the ground flattened again at the small town.

“Hold on.” Jeremy’s knuckles were white on the steering wheel.

The truck rammed them again and she started swearing under her breath. Jeremy was out-cussing her as they reached town and he whipped around a corner fast enough to fishtail—even in the stable little hotrod.

The truck zoomed past, shining white under the street lamp.

Jeremy cut his lights and pulled behind a fence at a small apartment complex.

“What are you doing?” Delphi asked.

“Wait. Just wait.” Jeremy got out of the car and watched over the fence, a tree branch obscuring them from the street. Delphi joined him.

He pulled out his phone and she could see the number 911 glowing in the darkness. He called in the attack just as the truck came back down their side street, rolling slowly, as if looking for them.

When he hung up, Delphi asked, “What is going on?”

“That’s what I want to know.” Jeremy’s mouth was in a tight line. “We’ll wait here a little longer for the deputy and to make sure the other guy doesn’t come back. Then we’ll take another way out of town.”

“First someone breaks into your place, then they try to run us off the road? What did you do to someone? Lars wouldn’t have gone this far, surely.” Delphi was trying to calm her racing heartbeat, but not making much headway.

“I don’t know, but I’m going to figure it out.” He turned and slid an arm around her shoulder. “Are you okay? That freaked me out, so I imagine you’re not much better.”

“You’d be right.” She slid up against him, appreciating his warmth and how secure she felt in his arms. She buried her face in his neck, which was exposed to the cold. He smelled of leather, Old Spice and warm skin.

“Sorry. I really can handle my car when someone’s not trying to run me off the road.”

“You handled it pretty well even when someone was trying. Is this the real reason you have a racing bike? Because you have to dodge angry customers?” She spoke light of it, but she was still anxious and shaky from their experience.

She heard the rumble in Jeremy’s chest, felt it against her face. Then she was kissing him, and he was kissing her back and everything else melted into the background.
