One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 205

Third Person

One month ago...

Fiona's heart pounded like a war drum in her chest as she threw herself into the passenger seat of the waiting black car, her fingers gripping the leather seat so tightly her knuckles turned white. The driver hardly even waited for her to shut the door before he was peeling away from the curb, tires screeching on asphalt.

"Go, go, go!" Fiona urged.

They sped through the city streets, weaving between cars with a reckless precision that made Fiona's stomach lurch. He had always been an excellent driver, but this... this was on another level. Fiona had picked a good partner in crime-that was for certain.

For hours, they drove in tense silence, the only sounds the purr of the engine and the occasional squeal of tires as they took corners far too fast for comfort. Fiona's eyes darted constantly to the rearview mirror, half-expecting to see flashing lights in pursuit. But there was nothing.

She really had slipped through those m**ns' fingers like sand through a sieve.

It wasn't until they crossed the railroad tracks into Coldclaw territory that Fiona finally allowed herself to relax. She let out a long, shaky breath, feeling as if she had been holding it since they left the city. A hysterical giggle bubbled up from her chest as she leaned her head back against the leather headrest.

"We did it. I can't believe we did it," she breathed. "Man, I thought we were gonna get caught."

"You did a great job," the driver said, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.

Fiona turned to him. "All thanks to you," she purred. She reached over, tracing her index finger along the man's muscular forearm. She felt him shiver under her touch, a low growl of wanting rumbling in his chest.

"I hope you'll make it up to me later," he grunted huskily.

Fiona smirked and leaned back in her seat, looking out the window at the darkened forest rushing by-such a stark change from the neon-lit city. The thought of falling into bed with him after his whole ordeal did sound tempting. "Don't worry," she purred. "I've got a bed big enough for the two of us back home."
