After a long, passionate kiss in the confined space of the car, Justin finally pulled back, gazing at her.
Her face was flushed, and she panted softly, trying to catch her breath, her eyes calm yet dazed.
His own breathing unsteady, Justin caressed her flushed cheek. "Are you calm now?"
She looked away, muttering, "Your way of calming me is outrageous," and shifted back slightly.
"As long as it helps you clear out any troubling thoughts," Justin replied smoothly. "When you're with me, I want to be the only thing on your mind."
Natalie stayed silent, knowing that arguing with him was useless.
After a moment, Justin gently held her hand and asked, "Were you scared back there?"
She nodded slightly. "I didn't want you to be in any trouble."
"And what if I had been in trouble?" he teased. "Would you have abandoned me for sleeping with that woman in drugged condition?"
