He leaned close to my ear and my lips opened into an astonished ‘O’.

I think he groaned.

“Get in the car, baby, and stop opening your mouth like that. You’re clouding my judgment and I need to focus right now.”

My mouth opened wider, then quickly closed again. I stuck my tongue out at him like a child and then slid into my seat. He grinned at me again before closing the door.

He sat down in the driver’s seat, just like the other boys. Loud horns sounded in the noisy crowd, and I felt my heart pounding in my throat.

The engine started up as if it was connected to Harris’ brain. There was something absolutely demonic and mesmerizing about this car. The green lights played with the shadows on Harris’ perfect features.

Actually, he was the absolutely demonic and mesmerizing one, the car was just a dangerous toy in his hands.

He winked at me, then revved the engine. I couldn’t keep up with his actions, with the buttons he was pressing at the same time. I’d never seen him do anything like this before, so I obviously had no idea what his car was really capable of. I could have sworn the seat electrocuted me for a second as the engine vibrated again. Two screens switched on in front of me, and a larger one in the middle of the dashboard, between us. I couldn’t understand any of it, but I assumed that was how he was monitoring the whole car. He set something – he knew what – directly on these tablets, then turned around in his seat and faced the back of the car, where he opened the lid of somestrange tanks. I’d seen those things in his room before, and I didn’t like seeing them in his car now.

He revved the engine again while the chair vibrated with me under its power. I felt like I was sitting on a monster that was just waking up.

“Put your seatbelt on!”

For the first time, he fastened his seatbelt too, and I did the same. He pulled two straps that formed an X across his chest and held him in his seat, then he did the same to me, pulling another strap from behind the chair and tightening it across my stomach.

My breathing quickened.

When he finished, he lifted his gaze to me, his face inches from mine.

“Are you ready to enter my world?” He whispered, and the depths of his eyes made me dizzy for a moment.

“Yes,” I replied, amazed at the determination in my own tone.

He smiled, his lips capturing mine in a pressed kiss.

As he retreated to his starting position, I licked my lips and savored his tingling taste. I had no idea what he had been drinking before, but it tickled my lips and tasted fantastic.

He smiled cheekily when he realized what I was doing.

The race was about to begin, but a silly thought crossed my mind. I struggled with the tight straps and leaned closer to him. His eyes followed me curiously, but I quickly glued my lips to his neck.

“For luck,” I whispered, then pressed a passionate kiss to his neck and slowly sucked on his warm, soft skin. It was no longer a secret that he loved that, and he responded to my action with a stifled moan of pleasure.

I slowly pulled back and lifted my gaze to him.

“That’s all I needed.”

His gaze made me melt between those straps. Sometimes he was more beautiful than I could bear.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a girl walking in front of the cars, dressed only in an outrageously short skirt and a bra.

I expected a flag, a scarf, something… but no, the woman unclasped her bra, and I seemed more interested in the show than Harris, as he was focused on the screens crowding his dashboard.

When he finished, his eyes bored into mine.

“Do you trust me?” he asked, sweetness and seriousness playing in his pupils.

“Yes,” I answered without hesitation.

And I really did, which really shocked me.

“If it gets too much for you and you want me to stop, tell me. I promise I will.”
