Kellion: DO NOT MOVE AN INCH.
He really knew me well, that biker. He had totally guessed that I was leaning towards leaving him with his adoring fans.
Only a few seconds had passed before he was standing in front of me. “Don’t even think about leaving me,” Kellion said right away.
I gestured towards his girls and fluttered my lashes at him.Does it matter when you have so many fans?
He tweaked my nose, hard enough to make me grimace. “I’m here for you, not them.” He took my hand then, leading us to his bike. He didn’t even give any of the other girls a second glance, which made me feel awkward and thrilled at the same time.
I should have been one of them, but I was...not.
“Aria?”
I twisted around to face him, aware all the while at how girls were practically gnashing their teeth audibly at the way Kellion Argyros seemed to only see me. My heart felt close to bursting at how perfect he was, and it was...yucky.
Without thinking, I pinched the flesh on his arm.
“Oww, dammit.”
Ah, music to my ears. It felt very good, knowing he wasn’t reallythatperfect.
“What was that for?” He turned to me with a scowl and I quickly got rid of my smirk, but it was too late.
“Oh, so that’s how it is. Still a little monster, huh? Even when you’re already my girlfriend?”
Uh-oh. I didn’t like the look in his eyes—-
Aaaah!
He suddenly carried me over his shoulder, and the next thing I knew he had dumped me on his bike and he was revving his beast into life.
Rooooooooar——
In a blink of an eye, his beast was racing down the road, so fast I clutched him in a death grip, my arms tightening around his waist even as I cursed Kellion in my mind.
God. This. Biker.
We zoomed out of the campus, his beast faster than most cars it drove past. His speed had me breathless, nervous, and excited, but not terrified. There was something about the way he gripped the handlebars, the way he moved with his beast like they were one, that inspired confidence. He was a fast rider, but he was a damn good one, too.
Throughout the ride, Kellion didn’t speak, and I remained silent, too. Leaning my head against his back, I found myself closing my eyes and simply enjoying the wind against my face, my hair flying behind me. With just the feel of Kellion’s hot, hard body pressed against mine and my eyes shut, it was easy to pretend it was just the two of us.
Only when Kellion had slowed down did I slowly open my eyes and I realized he had brought us to Emerald Peak. It boasted of gorgeous views of downtown Miami, but what it was truly famous for was as a free dating spot for couples who liked making out inside their cars.
It was a beautiful place, really. I just never thought I’d have a reason to be here.
Kellion got off his bike, and when he faced me, I was startled to see the grim look on his face. I touched his arm.What’s wrong?
His lips curved, and I was even more certain something was troubling him when his smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Sorry.”
I shook his arm, forcing Kellion to look at me.What’s wrong, really?
He didn’t say a thing. He simply looked at me.
After hesitating for a second, I leaned forward impulsively, taking the initiative to kiss him for the first time. But Kellion turned his face to the side at the last moment and my lips brushed his cheek instead.
I froze.
His jaw clenched.
