Chapter 74
Nina’s POV
The drive back felt longer than the way there. City lights blurred past the windows in streaks of gold and red. Enzo kept the music low, some slow beat that matched the thump in my chest. I stayed quiet most of the ride. Coat belted tight. Hands in my lap. Every bump in the road made the silver straps shift against my skin. Reminded me how little was underneath. How exposed I would be soon.
Enzo glanced over a couple times. Smirk still there. But softer now. Like he was proud. Or maybe just enjoying the view.
We pulled through the gates just as the sun dipped low. Sky turning orange and purple. House lights already on. Warm glow spilling from the windows. Guards nodded at Enzo. Didn’t look twice at me. Coat hid everything.
Inside the foyer felt different. Cooler.
