He’s quiet for a long time, long enough that the background noise of his driving starts to serenade me.
“Sleep,” he says softly, his tone almost gentle. “We’ve got a while before we get you home.”
But my eyes open one more time as we stop at a red light. “Wait. How do you know where I live?”
This time he turns to look at me. He’s the slightest bit amused, and the corner of his lip turns up. It’s the closest thing to a smile I’ve seen from him.
“From your wallet, Skylar.”
I blink.
“Oh,” I mumble.
Duh, idiot.
He chuckles, and it’s more charming than it should be.
My eyes close, and I drown in his scent, allowing his aroma to soothe me to sleep.

“Skylar.” The voice is masculine, deep, and gentle.
I keep my eyes closed, humming contentedly.
It’s nice to hear my name spoken like that.
“Skylar.” A little louder this time, but still with that soothing cadence.
A delicious scent accompanies the voice.
An Alpha scent.
I could drown in it. It excites my body, sending tingles down my spine and spreading across my body, focusing on my aching nipples.
There’s a warm hand on my shoulder, and I startle awake, jerking away from River’s touch. He flinches and returns his hand to his side, seeming surprised he touched me.
“Shit. Sorry,” he mutters, shaking his head. “We’re here.”
He’s parked in my driveway.
My face flushes, and I realize with horror that I’m wet. I can feel the slick in between my thighs, and my panties are damp.
This can’t be happening. I hope I didn’t leave a smear on his leather seats because I will die.
I have to get out of this car.
I quickly unbuckle my seatbelt and reach for the door handle, but River interrupts me.
“Hang on,” he orders, and I freeze.
“But—”
“Let me get the door for you,” he interrupts, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world.
My head spins as I watch him exit the car.
Who is this man?
