The Wayward Sons: Back to the Beginning, page 13
“I can drive,” he replied, and I stopped. He did too, grinning deviously as I faced him.
“Give me the keys,” I repeated.
“No.”
“You’ve done all the driving. I can drive, you know.”
“Can you?” he asked. “You were in a magical coma for how long again?”
“I remember how to fucking drive,” I snapped.
“See, here’s the thing, baby.” He stepped closer. “If you’re doin’ the drivin’, that leaves me with nothin’ to do. Sure, I’ll find a way to keep busy for a while, but I’m goin’ to get bored at some point. And when I get bored, I’m comin’ across that middle so we can play what’s goin’ to be my new favorite game: testin’ your restraint while you drive when your dick is in my mouth. So, you should probably just leave the drivin’ to me, baby.”
A sexy smirk settled on that tempting mouth of his as I stared at him, pretending to weigh my options. Making him wait was half the fun.
“Give me the keys, Gray,” I said once more, holding my hand out. Yeah, I wanted all of that.
“Yes, Sir,” he replied. The response shot straight to my dick, clouding my judgment. When he dropped the keys in my hand, I latched onto his wrist and dragged him closer, leaning in.
“Good boy,” I whispered against his ear. Two could play this game. And watching him visibly melt a little was adorable. Being around him made me bolder—more at ease with letting me be myself. “It’s cute you think that mouth of yours won’t be on my dick anyway. I’ve got plans for that mouth of yours.”
“Fuck me,” Gray muttered, cheeks turning pink.
“I plan to fuck you across the goddamn country, honey,” I told him as I moved for the driver’s seat.
“Oh, I should keep a fuckin’ map.” He laughed at his own words while I faltered.
“We don’t need a map—”
“Be back!”
“Jesus fuck,” I said, watching him jog back across the parking lot. The man was going to buy a goddamn map. I just knew it.
Leaning on the hood, I sighed as I waited for him. Through the windows, I watched Gray buy a fucking map and a few pens. I didn’t need empathy to know the man was excited. Simple and happy. That was Gray.
That was my Gray.
The thought made me smile—a genuine, foreign-feeling gesture. A week, a month, a year. I was ready for all of it.
Just me and Gray and the open road.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First and foremost, I want to thank my husband, Ethan. Without your endless encouragement and support, I would've quit a long time ago. Thank you for making me laugh when this journey gets hard, for listening to all my rants, and for being as invested in my work as I am.
To my feral alphas… Dominique, Sierra, Jayna, Tasha, & Alissa… I can never truly put into words just how grateful I am for you. The amount of time you put into reading through my manuscripts, the love you have for Ryder & Gray, and the sheer amount of ride-or-die support you have for me is appreciated. You keep me going when I don't think I can, you make me smile when it feels too hard, and you celebrate every step of the process with the same amount of enthusiasm every time. I will never be able to thank you enough for being the backbone of my writing endeavors.
And to the rest of my feral fucks… Nancy, Camille, Maygan, & Savannah… thank you for stepping up when things got difficult and I needed better solutions for how to handle things on the backend. I'm so excited to have you on board, and I look forward to all our adventures together.
And a very special thank you to the ladies in my street team for spreading the word about my boys. I'll never be able to thank you enough for loving them as much as I do and wanting to share them with the world.
