Abigail's POV

　　Sitting back in my seat, I looked around Jason's expensive Land Rover, admiring the sleek lines and cushioned leather. I hadn't said a word since we left my apartment, and the short journey was starting to feel almost as long as the nine hours coach journey I made to travel to get to this small town. 

　　Sighing, I sat back in my seat, turning my back to Jason; I looked out the window at the passing forest. The lush greens and browns comforted me. I loved nature, and there was a lot of mother nature here to love. Fidgeting again, I pulled my legs up on the seat and flicked the air con up and down.

　　"Oh my god, you are worse than my kid sister. And she is six." Turning my head to face Jason, whose eyes were on the road, I narrowed my green hues on him, flicking the air con once more before sitting back in my seat.

　　"If the ants in your pants are that bad, you could always take them off." He said sarcastically with a lopsided grin that melted my bad mood just a tad.

　　"I am not wearing any." I responded with a smile that slowly crept across my face seeing his cheeks burn softly as he swerved the car just a little. 

　　"Nice driving. When did you pass your test? Yesterday." I laughed, turning in my chair a little to look at him, admiring him properly without fear of upsetting Damien, and gosh, he was gorgeous. Dark hair, dark features and piercing eyes. 

　　"I was distracted by the images of your bare pussy, sorry princess."

　　"My pussy is hardly worth dying over. Eyes on the road, big guy." I taunted lightly with a smile, the tension easing between us slightly.

　　"I disagree." He grinned wide, making me blush. Damn, that smile. It was the sort of smile that made girls drop their panties. And If I were wearing any, I probably would have. "I can think of worse ways to go than with my face buried between those milky thighs." 

　　"Dick." I laughed angelically.

　　"Well, we can bury that between them, too, if you like." Slapping his arm, I shook my head and looked away, not wanting to see that smile in case I caved and lost all control of my senses. With my eyes glued back out the window as we took a side road into the forest, seeing a camera turn and follow us as we approached a large fortified steel gate, I sucked down a breath and looked at Jason. 

　　"This is where you live?" I asked, looking at the security that seemed to access us; men in smart uniforms with earpieces approached the car, checking it before nodding for us to go through.

　　"Yes, princess." He said plainly; I could feel him watching me as the car rolled through the gates. "You're safe here." He reinforced it with a gentle pat on my thigh, leaving his hand there. I looked at it and then up to him, chuckling. 

　　"Comfortable?" I asked as he nuzzled his hand between my thighs, squeezing; he nodded. "You aren't exactly a great driver. Perhaps you should keep BOTH" Removing his hand, I placed it back on the steering wheel and grinned. "Hands on the wheel, huh." 

　　"I am a fucking awesome driver." He laughed, nodding to the security as they waved us forward.

　　"Why the gates? It's a forest. Surely someone can simply walk into the woods?" I asked, looking into the depths of the forest, seeing camera after camera hidden in the trees and on the ground; I noticed several animal eyes watching us.

　　 "Are they..."

　　"Wolves, yes. They are on patrol this afternoon. And this part of the forest is cut off from the rest; we have charmed borders; if something unwelcome or uninvited entered, we would know." He stated, "However all official business goes through the gate." I nodded, processing his statement, then turned to stare at him, a cunning smile on my face. 

　　"You didn't know I was in the woods last night." I started, arching my perfectly waxed brow. "So your system is not so flawless after all, hmm." 

　　"Is that when you were perving on me to have sex?" He asked with a cheeky grin which took my breath away.

　　"Shut up." I laughed and looked back to the road we were driving up; beautiful wildflowers lined the side of the road, making me smile at the beautiful pops of colour against the dark forest. 

　　"Was she your mate?" I asked, looking over at him curiously.

　　"If you want me to answer your questions, you need to start answering some of mine." 

　　Crossing my arms, I sighed heavily, pouting before I nodded my agreement chewing the inside of my lip.  

　　"But do not ask a question if you are unprepared to hear the answer, Princess, because I won't lie to you." He stated with hooded eyes. 

　　"Does she know..." I paused, not quite sure what to ask. I was just a female he had met, but the way he flirted with me and now with Damien, I suspect he liked me, and if he was mated, I did not want to walk into this situation without all the facts.

　　"About you." He finished my sentence again, making me smile. I liked when he did that. But I was too proud to tell him, so instead, I just bobbed my head and watched the road ahead as we reached a fork in the road; one track seemed to disappear down to a pitch-black alley, even in the day all the light seemed to have been snuffed out from whatever lay at the end of the path. 

　　"Yes." He answered curtly, driving us up the other path that wound up and around a beautiful garden. "Did you enjoy watching me last night?"

　　Sighing, I sat back in my seat and chewed on my nail nervously before I found the courage to answer and ask another question.

　　"Yes." I rushed out before asking my question. "What does she know?" I asked, shooting him a quick look. I saw the smug grin plastered on his face and groaned, filled with embarrassment.

　　"She knows we have just met; she knows you are somehow linked to the local trouble." I smiled at him, reassuring him that I hadn't taken offence because he was right; I was connected to the drama. Once happy, I was ok, he continued. 

　　"She knows my mother and father wish to see you... and..." He paused looking at me seductively. I watched his tongue run across his lips and found myself wondering what he tasted like.

　　Moaning at the fanny flutters this man kept giving me. He was driving me crazy. My resolve when it came to this man was seriously weakening; 

　　We needed to arrive and SOON.
