Chapter 28
Chapter Twenty-Eight
“Why does it seem like every time I’m around you, you’re in some kind of trouble?” Cash mused as we made our way to his Jeep. He’d agreed to drive me back to my bike and I figured we might as well hash things out between us now.
Why bother putting off the inevitable?
“Listen, I get if this is too much for you. I know I’m probably not someone you’ll want to introduce to your family.
And, yeah, I don’t lead a normal life. There’s always going to be something you would consider abnormal going on with me,” I shrugged my shoulders as I bit my lip and stared out the car window at the water.
“And I don’t want to be normal. I’ve never aspired to have the picket fence kind of life.
If that’s the type of girl you’re looking for, well, we should probably just stop this in its tracks right now,” I said, stiffly.
There, I’d been an adult about it; no harm, no foul.
I gasped as Cash swerved suddenly to the side of the road and all but pulled me into his lap as he crushed his lips to mine, taking me under his spell with all his heat and yearning.
I could feel how much he wanted me, the desire pulsing off of him in waves, along with a layer of anger underneath.
Not caring, I kissed him back, throwing myself into it.
If this was to be our last kiss then I was going to get my money’s worth.
Moments later, we broke apart, gasping for breath, and met each other’s eyes.
“Stop trying to break up with me,” Cash panted.
“Stop making me feel like you don’t want to be with someone like me,” I panted right back.
“Stop making assumptions about the type of girl I want to be with,” Cash retorted, and I sat back, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Am I wrong?”
“You’re so wrong,” Cash muttered, pulling the car back out into traffic and proceeding to the wharf.
I bit back a smile as I felt warmth fill me. Okay, so maybe the day wasn’t a total loss.
“The magick stuff doesn’t freak you out?”
“We’re going to have a nice long talk about all of that. But I think we need to find Luna first. And solve a murder, it seems,” Cash said, getting out of the car and walking to my bike. I walked over to where he stood waiting.
“So, I’ll see you later?” I asked, not sure what to do now.
“Give me the key to your bike chain. I’m going to throw your bike in the car and we are going to find Luna together. Like couples do,” Cash said patiently and I couldn’t help but grin at him a little stupidly.
So we were a couple after all. Apparently, it only took a morning at the police station to confirm that.
See? Definitely not your average girlfriend.
