WINGSPAN
Sneak Peak:
Chessa refused
to meet his gaze. Maybe if she kept her
face straight, Ryan wouldn’t see the flush creeping its way across her
skin. “Shouldn’t you keep your eyes on
the road?”
Ryan
chuckled. “Wow. Not used to compliments is my guess. What?
Never had a boyfriend before?”
“I’ve had my
share.”
“Is that
so? You ask me, I’d have guessed never.”
“Whatever. You don’t know anything about me.”
“Whoa. I know more about you than most. I know about your wings-and-things there,
don’t I?”
“So what? I have no idea what possessed my Dad to let
you take me anywhere.”
“Hell, I can
drop you anywhere you like. This is a favor I’m doing you. But, you just say the word and I’ll take this
truck to the shoulder and offload you quicker than a longshoreman.”
“Fine.” Take me to the nearest bus station.”
Ryan spread his
arms wide. “In case you hadn’t noticed,
we’re not exactly in the big city anymore, girl. There’s no bus station within 300 miles of
here.”
Chessa glanced
out the window. She had been so involved
in their conversation, she had not noticed that they had left the city limits
long ago.
“Where are we?”
Ryan drummed
the steering wheel. “We’re on the way to
Shan-gri-la, baby. Just like Daddy
Dearest requested. Why? Still want that bus station detour?”
Chessa settled
back into the seat. Might as well just
get to the cabin and make some more plans once there. She sighed.
“No. Let’s just get to the
cabin.” She checked the
speedometer. “Think you can do that
without killing us?”
“That’s my
specialty.”
