Jared gripped the wheel tightly, his body very aware of the woman beside him. Evelyn’s occasional questions eased him a bit, digressing from his thoughts of how his body was involuntarily reacting to her. Not surprisingly, Tara had nothing much to say to Evelyn.

They had left the fine upper class suburbs of Sector 8 and its immaculately maintained landscapes and were now heading into the more remote area of the sector. Jared diligently followed Liam’s SUV, his eyes focused on its silver hatch door. He frowned as he tried to deduce why Edmund had given him the key to his vehicle. He wouldn’t have dwelt on it at all if he had not caught that little smirk on his face. Edmund had assumed that since he had come from Sector 8 Central, he would not have known how to properly operate a vehicle. And he would have been right had James not given him those non-stop driving lessons four months ago.

A hand gently brushed his thigh. “Slow around the bend,” she whispered.

His feet immediately let go of the accelerator, slowing the vehicle down, carefully maneuvering around the large curve in the mountain.

He gave her a short glance and smiled. “Thanks.”

She blushed. “There’s a huge series of bends in the road from now onwards before we reach the next proper stretch. I don’t know why I am always nervous around it.”

“It’s alright to be nervous. It keeps you attentive and careful,” he assured her. His eyes narrowed as they continued to circle up the sides of the mountain. He tried to keep as much as he could to the wall of the mountain. He glimpsed down at the forest canopy on his side, the shrub layer of the forest invisible beneath its denseness. If he wasn’t careful, it would certainly be a long disastrous fall to its floor. “I can understand why though,” he muttered, also understanding why Edmund had made that quick dash for Liam’s SUV.

He glanced at her again. Her fingers were clasped together tightly, but she sat stoically, her eyes bravely set upon the view outside her window. She had faith in him. And this was making it terribly difficult for him to ignore her. How was he to ever let go of her if she continued to win his heart like this? He had wanted to clasp her hand the moment she had touched him lightly on his thigh. Her hand had burnt his flesh, spreading a heat wave through his veins and to his entire body. His vision of her touching him in more ways than that, washed over him. He didn’t know if he would ever have the strength to turn away from her now.
