Langston

“Ididn’t know you could fall in love with someone so quickly,” Lisa said.

Langston pressed his foot on the brake, slowing at a yellow traffic light that turned red. He glanced at her, his body warm and his flesh tingling from Lisa’s words.

She smiled shyly. “Your mom is a beautiful person. How anyone could meet her and not love her as if she was their own parent seems strange to me.”

Langston released a breath that had built in his chest. She was talking about his mother. Of course she was. He swallowed, half disappointed and half relieved.

“She is wonderful, isn’t she?”

Lisa nodded. “I’m glad she loved my strawberry shortcake. Now that I think about it, it was audacious to offer to bake it for you. Am I crazy?” She crossed her eyes.

“No, you’re confident. And I like that about you, Lisa.”

Lisa’s cheeks flushed a delicate shade of dark rose, and her eyes sparkled with joy. Her lips curled into the hint of a smile as she looked away shyly.

“I love it when you blush.” Langston reached and swiped a finger down her cheek. “It’s so cute.”

Lisa laughed as Langston turned the corner. “Yeah? What else do you love about me?”

A dark hum drifted from his lips, and his eyes flipped to the rearview mirror, to Lisa, then back to the rearview mirror.

When they left Northshire Bend, a black Jeep was parked at the gas station on its immediate left. That same Jeep was still behind them, two cars back.

“I love your smile. When you’re happy, your face lights up like the sun. It’s beautiful to witness.”

He made a left turn and glanced in the rearview. The Jeep also made a left turn.

“I love your spontaneousness. It awakened something inside me that felt lost or in remission. I haven’t figured out which yet.”

He made another left, a right, and a left. The Jeep followed his turns, staying a few cars behind.

“I love the way you scream my name when you cum.”

Lisa’s lips parted, her eyes on him. He could sense the desire rising in her body. “Are you wearing your seatbelt,mi amour?”

“Huh?” Lisa blinked out of her haze and glanced down. “Shit. I thought I was.” She buckled. “I am now.”

“Good. Hold on, and don’t be afraid.”

Lisa’s frown deepened with the change in his tone and conversation. “Langston?”

He hit the pedal, and the JXL Noregea went from forty miles an hour to ninety within a few seconds.

“Oh!” Lisa clutched the side door with one hand and the other knotted into a fist in her lap.

“You’re okay.”

He slipped his fingers into her knotted hand and navigated through a wild labyrinth of turns.

Two minutes later, they were on a dark road with no car in sight.

“Langston?”

“Someone was tailing us.”

Lisa’s eyes lurched. “Tailing? As in following us?”
