She frowned, her eyebrows furrowing. "Why aren't you doing anything about it?"
"Who says we aren't?"
She brushed her teeth over that freckle, thinking. "I think I know where they're keeping the ozone. Or I could probably help you find it."
"And how would you know that?"
She wouldn't look at me. "I just might know."
“Are you saying that the cartel took you?"
"I didn't say that."
"Tatiana, I already know it was the cartel. You may as well tell me the truth about what happened."
She jerked her face to me. "Why? What have you done?"
I pulled out the necklace I'd given her, the one I'd stolen back, and tossed it in her lap. "I took care of it. Or, at least one of them."
"Which one?" Her eyes were wide, her chest fluttering.
"Why does it matter?"
"Maybe I want to fix this problem all on my own."
"And maybe you want to take out your own brain tumor. Or would you trust a doctor to do it?"
"Of course I would."
"Then trust me, this is what I do."
"That's the point," she met my eyes, "I don't trust you."
I slammed on my brakes, steering my car off the side of the road to pull off into the parking lot of a bank.
"What are you doing?"
I got out of the car and walked over to her door. When I tried it, she'd locked it.
I scowled down at her. "Open the door, Tati."
She just grinned playfully at me. "Make me."
I pulled at the handle out of frustration. "Tati. I'm warning you."
"Or what?"
"Naughty vixen," I grumbled, then took off, racing back around my side of the car. I got to the door just in time before she could lean over and lock it. Then I had to lunge over the console, grabbing her as she tried to jump out of her side.
Laughter peeled from her lips as she twisted, pushing against me, trying to get away. Arms banding tight around her waist, I rearranged our bodies in the cramped space so that she was straddling me.
"Oh, I like being on top." She was still grinning, with a child-like look of happiness I hadn't seen on her face for a long time. The spaghetti straps of her white and yellow floral dress dug into her shoulders, the low cut revealing the perfect curve of her breasts. The skirt of her dress flowed over my lap, allowing the softness of her cunt to press over my pants. Her hands hooked around my neck, her gaze completely focused on me. She was so damn beautiful; I could stay like this forever. "Can I be in charge from now on?"
"Is that what you want? To be in charge?"
"Maybe." As she stared down at me, heat and amusement and something more grew in her gaze. Was it love I saw in those star-blue eyes? Eyes that had entranced me so many years ago.
My whole life, no matter the time or space between us, it had always been her.
