Chapter Nine

It had led him to her, he thought. He wasn’t certain at all how to take that. There was something about her, so honest, so forthright, that made him wonder if he was looking too hard to find fault with her. Yet at the same time, experience was screaming in his ear that he just wasn’t looking hard enough.

“Do you need to be home at a certain time?” he asked.

“No, do you?” she countered.

“Well, I can’t do shots with you tonight,” he said.

“That’s too bad. Why not?”

“Let’s just say I wasn’t at my best the next day at work,” he said with a laugh. “If I show up like that again, I’m going to have a mutiny on my hands. But I do have something I’d like to show you.”

“I’m game,” she said.

He paid the bill, waving away her offer to pay her half, and then led her out of the restaurant. They got his car, and then he drove them away from the bright lights of the city toward his home, nestled on the outskirts of town. “I’m taking you to my place. Still game?”

She reached up and pulled the pins from her hair as they turned onto the highway that led out of the city. “I am.”

He opened up the throttle, putting the pedal to the floor and flying along the highway. Her hair whipping out behind them in the wind, she tipped her head up toward the sky and started laughing.

Nicholas found himself joining her, and while he kept his speed to a respectable seventy-five miles per hour, he realized for the first time why Dare liked speed. Though his friend would probably poke fun at him for thinking that seventy-five miles per hour was fast. He slowed down as they neared the gates of his property. His car was fitted with an automatic sensor, and the gates were opening as they pulled up to them. She didn’t say anything as he drove up the winding road that lead to the top of the hill and the circle driveway.

Though he’d had his grandparents’ mansion modernized, the house was old. In fact, this was the original property that his grandparents had left him. He parked the car, turned off the engine, then turned to face Zelda. The wind had made her hair into a red halo around her head and shoulders. Her eyes were wide with that curiosity that he loved seeing in them.

“That was incredible. Thank you. It’s been a long time since I just let go,” she admitted.

“You’re welcome,” he replied. He got out of the car and went around to open her door, but she already had it open. He offered her his hand, and she got out of the car.

He had called ahead to let the couple who kept the house know that he’d be home tonight so they wouldn’t come and investigate when they saw lights on in the main house. The Shaws lived in a bungalow down the hill, but it was still on the property.
