The TV croons on, and the suggestions keep coming as phones ping and ringers alarm, the noises filling up my ears and jumbling into too much noise.
Too much contact.
Too much risk.
Everything runs together in one big fucking mistake that heats my skin and makes my feet move for me.
I push off of a surprised Rex, knocking him back a step and take off out the front door.
“Don’t.” I hear someone call as heavy footsteps begin to follow me, then pause.
I run as the headlines flash over my mind.
It’s only a matter of time before they find out.
The world will know who I am and who I sleep with.
My dream is no longer mine.
It’s all going to be consumed by Rex fucking Thompson.
I wrench open the car door, surprised when I find the keys tucked between the visor that fall into my shaking lap.
Desperation starts the car with white knuckles on the steering wheel only to jolt when the knock on the window scares me senseless.
“Jesus Christ!” I yell when Fin rips the door open and ushers me aside.
“Move over, Princess. You can’t leave here alone.” Heavily tattooed hands shoo me to the passenger seat as his big ass climbs in despite my body still being in the way.
“The hell I can’t!” I protest and I fight, slapping at his back and arms, getting fucking nowhere.
“Just move.” He shoves his hands beneath my ass and hauls my body over the center console like I’m a fucking ragdoll. I grunt and punch his chest when he settles into what was my seat and shifts the car into drive.
His phone is ringing before we pull away from the house, Fin engaging the call via Bluetooth.
“Don’t you fucking dare, Newb!” Rex’s rage fills the confines of the vehicle as he shouts into the phone.
“Too late.” Fin hangs up the phone and whips the car out onto the main street, flying past camping vans and tents with camera lenses poking out. He kicks up gravel as he turns, raining rocks down on the paparazzi creeping just off the property.
“Please take me home.” I grip the seat to prevent my body from slamming into the dash when Fin taps the breaks.
“You might wanna seatbelt.”
“No shit—” I cut myself off on a gasp, gripping the dash, as Fin weaves into a lane that has no room for us to be in, narrowly missing another car. “Jesus!”
“He’s not here, princess.” He switches lanes again, speeding well beyond the speed limit, and I jerk at my belt until it frees itself enough to secure my body to the seat. “I can’t take you home.”
I whip my head to Fin’s profile as my stomach sinks with his words. “The fuck you mean?”
He nods to the rearview and swerves the car into oncoming traffic, earning himself a fine ass scream from me.
My chest heaving, hands planted on the console between us and the door, he dips back into the right side of the fucking road.
“What the fuck?!” I screech, slapping his arm.
“Hey!” He booms, blocking my attack with one hand, keeping the other secured to the wheel.
“The fuck is wrong with you?!”
