The silence in the car was suffocating. I exhaled shakingly, careful to not disturb the beast next to me. He glanced out the window, leaning his chin on a propped arm, and the other hand rested on his knee. I saw the knuckles go white from his restraint. I swallowed, not knowing what I had done to provoke him.
Was I stupid or had I seduced him? I snuck glances at him, wondering what could be so interesting about the scenery. It wasn’t until the car went into a tunnel that I knew the answer. Through the window, I saw my face. He was staring right at me, our eyes meeting in the reflection.
My heart skipped. He tensed, slowly turning to me. Jasper sang a tune in the car, humming to himself as he read. Theo drove us to god knows where, but all I could focus on was Killian.
