Wicked Game
Wicked Series Book Two
By Emily Quinn
A blast from her past is not what she expects.
When Jack realizes he’s been set up with the one woman he’s failed to forget, he has two choices: leave or stay. Life doesn’t give second chances this easy, and it isn’t above him to let go of an opportunity such as this.
Book Excerpt
He smiled at her. “Hi.”
“H-hello,” she said.
“Are you ready?”
Her blood rushed through her veins in double time. Butterflies danced in her stomach, making her feel like a teenager all over again. Worst of all, she couldn’t manage to utter a word, so she nodded instead.
He helped her put on the helmet and secured it below her chin. “Hop on.” Jack straddled the bike and patted the seat behind him, then fastened his own helmet. She followed his instructions, straddling the bike. He reached for her hands and pulled her to him so the front of her body touched his back.
All nerves left her the moment the wind caressed her exposed skin as he put his bike in motion and merged into traffic. She had no idea where he’d take her. Truth be told, Tori didn’t care. What mattered was she was with him. As hard as it was to admit, she’d missed him. These past few days had been hell, wondering what he’d been up to and whether he thought of her at all or not. Who knew, perhaps today would be the last time she’d ever see him. The thought alone saddened her. Tori tightened her hold on his waist, squeezing her eyes closed.
Jack glided down the canyon, a mountain route bikers preferred, until he reached the Pacific Coast Highway. Then he rode north along the coast for another thirty minutes. Ah. She felt free. The ocean breeze combined with the late-afternoon sun kissed her skin. She hadn’t felt this liberated in God knew how long.
Jack turned left, guiding the bike into a sheltered path up a hill that opened to a secluded beach. He stopped right where the sand started and shut off the engine. He removed his helmet and hung it on one of the handles.
Tori got off the bike. She gasped at the ocean view in front of her.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” He took the helmet from her and placed it on the bike.
“It is. How did you find this place?” Tori removed her boots and rolled up her jeans.
“My dad.” Jack grew silent for a moment. “He used to bring me here when I was a kid. He called it our thinking spot.” He slipped off his boots.
Tori stepped on the still-warm sand and curled her toes. “Do you come here often?”
He grabbed her hand and lead her the short distance to the shore. “Not too often, but I do whenever I can.”
“What do you do for fun, Jack?” She pushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
“I don’t know I can top your kind of fun.”
“Oh, yeah? Come on, what do you do for fun?”
“Not pole dancing, for starters,” he teased, pulling her to him and wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
Tori pushed him but Jack tightened his hold on her. “You didn’t just go there.”
“I may just have to go to therapy to get it out of my head, and send you the bill for the trauma you’ve caused me,” he said.
“I can’t believe you.” She let out a soft laugh. “You know, on second thought, perhaps it is a good idea for you to see a therapist. I’d love to see how they would react at hearing you talk about your wicked ways, let alone your custom fire pole.”
He laughed, fastening his hold on her.
