She beams from ear to ear. “Such a gentleman.”

I chuckle. “Don’t tell anyone. I have a rep to uphold.”

She snorts. “You don’t fool me, Mr. Branson. You may profess to be an asshole at work, but I’ve seen you sing “Be Our Guest” with gusto while pretending to be a candelabra with Hailee, so—”

“There’s no video evidence of that happening. So if there’s no proof, it didn’t happen.”

She giggles. “You keep telling yourself that.” She slides into the car, and I close her door, then walk around to the driver’s side.

Jumping into my Audi e-tron RS GT, I love how she looks against the sleek black leather, her red lipstick contrasting against the red stitching on the seams of the seats.

The things I want to do to her in this car should be illegal.

Her fingers trace the red stitching along the door panel as she shakes her head. “This car is so freaking fancy.”

Starting the engine, I waggle my brows. “Wait until you feel how fast she can go.”

“Now you’re just showing off.”

Chuckling, I put the car into reverse and start backing out of the driveway. “You saying you don’t want me to go a little faster? Show you what she’s made of?”

Zoey rolls her eyes. “Blake, I’m a mother. I have to be responsible.”

Chuckling, I put the car in gear and take off faster than I should.

She jerks back in her seat, her fingers gripping the handle on the door as a bright smile lights her face.

“Sometimes we have to let ourselves live a little, Cupcake.”

She giggles as I push my foot harder on the pedal, watching Zoey enjoying the speed and the rev of the engine. “Oh my God, Blake, you’re going to get pulled over.”

Smirking, I mumble under my breath. “Already did that.”

“Huh?” she asks as I take the corner at high speed.

The tires squeal, and I glance at her quickly. “They’d have to catch us first.”

“Jesus Christ, we’re gonna end up in jail, and Kyle will have to bail us out.” She snorts a laugh as we get closer to Revel Rose, and I take the turn for the parking lot, skid into the lot directly, park the car, and shut down the engine like some amazing move fromThe Fast and the Furious.

My adrenaline is pumping as I turn to Zoey. Her breathing is fast, and her teeth are clamped down on her bottom lip, but what really makes me fucking insane is how her thighs are squeezed so tightly together that I know it’s because she’s trying to dull the ache in her pussy.

So I reach out, placing my hand on her thigh. “You good?”

Her eyes lock with mine, sparkling with lust and desire as she stares at me.

Fuck, what I wouldn’t give to be able to pull her over to my side of the car and have her ride me until we are both drained and exhausted.

“I’ve never had that kind of adrenaline rush before, especially not since I’ve had Hailee. I feel like I’ve just lived a completely different life in those few minutes.”

“Is that a good thing?” I let out a small laugh.

She slowly nods her head. “It’s a very good thing. Thank you for bringing some excitement back to me, Blake. I didn’t realize how monotonous my life had gotten.”

I squeeze her thigh and wink. “Happy to help you get your kicks any way I can, Zoey.”

She chuckles. “I think this is enough for one night. My heart can’t take any more adrenaline rushes tonight.”

Laughing, I nod and move to get out of the car. “All right, but I am taking this as a challenge. I’m going to invigorate your life, Zoey. Make you feel alive again.”
