Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 66

Edward pulled my hand as we ran for the car. So, this was how the boy got out of the mansion. I wonder what other tricks the old mansion had hidden away. Perhaps Lucien knew of a couple of tricks himself? Wait, if the tunnel only led us as far as here and we had to take a car to escape. How did Edward escape the estate back then?

Once in the car, Edward wasted no time to drive away. Oh no, I didn’t think we would be leaving the estate together like we were eloping in the middle of the night. Plus, I didn’t even know where we were going and…

“Umm…Edward, wait! I don’t have proper clothes on! I didn’t think we would be leaving the house…” I said shyly as I looked down at the nightgown that I had on. Although not as short and not as revealing at the one I had on to seduce Lucien that night but this one also did not provide adequate cover. A bit too late, I know, but I tried to cover my breasts with my hands.

“I’ve got clothes for you in the back seat,” Edward replied with his eyes still on the road. He really thought all this through, huh? I remembered our first ‘date’ together. Back then he had clothes for me too. Loads of them.

“Edward, how did you escape after you exited the tunnel. Even we needed a car, right?” I continued to ask curiously, going down the list of my questions.

“You mean ‘the boy’?” Edward teased. He definitely has a way with words.

“Yes, I mean… ‘the boy’” I replied while secretly rolling my eyes.

“He had some good friends. One in particular was there to save him that night…” Edward replied without any further explanations. I decided to leave it at that. There was something else that I had to ask him.

“Where are we going?” I finally got to ask the burning question on my mind. We are speeding along the empty road, but I had no idea where we were headed.

“Where you want to go,” Edward replied smoothly.

“And where is that exactly? How do you know where I want to go?” I asked. Perhaps he really could read my mind.

“You wanted to ask me about the nightmare that you’ve been having lately, right?” Edward asked casually.
