Chapter 18

"You bitch, that is going to leave a bruise!" Quinn flails into the living room in a blistering fury.

"Time to go!" I grab the door and shut it behind me quickly.

Max opens the door to his truck and I slide in thanking him as I shut the door behind me.

He strides around the truck and gets in, starting it in one quick move. The speakers come to life with the song "Drunk On You" by Luke Bryan playing. I can't help but look at him under my eyelashes as he starts singing the lyrics.

"Mmhhmm," Max hums at me, raising his brows.

My heart beats a little faster hearing him hit the notes perfectly. There is something about a guy singing that makes a woman weak in the knees.

He turns the music down, turns his hat backwards and pulls away from the curb.

"Where are we goin'?" he asks.

I give him the address and he heads that way. Tapping his thumb against the steering wheel and singing to the radio the whole time.

Following Rae's directions, we end up outside of town
