“You ready?” she heard him ask above the roar as he revved the engine.
Again, she could only nod.
‘It’s just around the block,’ she told herself.
But as they made their first turn and she leaned with him, the wind rushing in her face, she was certain she never wanted the ride to end.
CHAPTER 28
“Keep going,” Katrinasaid as Lorenzo was stopped, waiting to turn back onto her street. Instead, he kept going forward as she’d asked, and she sighed contentedly, holding onto him.
The morning was cloudy and cool, and the wind against her felt invigorating. Her heart thrummed with excitement as they rounded another corner and she leaned with him, trusting that he had her. She didn’t quite recognize the path he was taking, but soon they were out on the open road, fields surrounding them as they wound around. The curves were nowhere the sharpness of Willow Creek Road so taking them weren’t as dangerous.
And then she recognized her surroundings.
She grinned to herself as she thought ‘That little shit is taking me to make out point.’
Technically it was lookout point, a part on a high hill that overlooked the town below, but as teenagers it had been labeled for the many students who would park there beneath the stars at night.
She and Lorenzo had done the same when they’d had a car to borrow, when they weren’t meeting beneath the stars on Willow Creek Road.
When he came to a stop and let down the kickstand, she eased herself off the bike, still feeling the thrill as she took the helmet off.
“Well?” he asked, a genuine smile meeting her when she dared to look at him.
“I love it,” she replied, returning his smile as she handed the helmet to him. He hooked it on the back of the bike, his gaze on the ground before he met her eyes once more.
“I knew you would. I always wanted to take you for a ride, you know.”
“I remember.”
“And you wouldn’t ride with Justin?”
She shook her head. “It didn’t feel right.”
It wouldn’t have been like this, the two of them having shared the thrill together.
It wouldn’t have been the same with her arms around her brother instead of the man who’d stolen her heart so many years before.
The same man she was certain she was falling for again.
“Where do you stand, Trina?”
“With you.”
