1 froze. Did he mean… adding the word “boy” in front of “end“? He wanted that title already?
I studied his breathtaking profile, my heart pounding, and asked, “Is that what you’re trying to do now? Take the tooth step at this moment?”
His smile deepened as he shot me a side glance. “How many steps do you secretly hope I’m at?”
My throat went dry. I licked my lips and gulped. “Can you stop at the 99th step and wait for me to take that last step?”
My heart was racing, and my mind buzzed.
Soren looked a little surprised. He stopped as the traffic light turned red.
He turned to face me, his gaze as piercing as his smile was warm. “Well, well. The turtle has come out of its shell a little.”
I was already flustered. I did not need his teasing!

I turned away from him, staring out the window. I couldn’t bear to meet his gaze.
Soren laughed softly. “The answer is ‘yes.‘ I’ll make it to the 99th step and wait for you.”

That was it. I couldn’t possibly continue this conversation anymore. It was ridiculous!
Soren grinned.
When the car stopped in the middle of another traffic jam, he ruffled my hair gently. “Hey now, don’t be mad. I’ll let you take as many steps backward as you like.”
I stared at him. I knew I had lost.
Hell, it was a sound defeat!
He knew I was into him–that I was already trapped.
I put on a brave face about wanting to,take a few steps backward, but it was just empty bravado.
