Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic) novel Chapter 595

PAT

Kingsley set me down in the passenger seat like I was made of glass, slammed the door, and threw himself behind the wheel. The engine turned over with a growl and we shot out of the parking lot, his knuckles white around the steering wheel, his head swinging toward me every few seconds. "Don't worry, we'll get to the hospital in no time."

I watched his jaw work, the way his eyes kept flicking between the road and me, and I pressed my lips together to keep from laughing. We were two blocks away when I reached over and tapped his arm. "It's fine. You can pull over for now."

He stared at me, then flicked on the indicator and eased the car to the curb. "What happened? Is the pain gone?"

I sat up straight, feeling the heat creep up my neck and settle hot in my cheeks. "To be honest, I wasn't in any kind of pain. I was faking it."

He stared at me for a long moment. Then he smiled.

"That's it?" I blinked at him. "You're all... You should be furious. I tricked you."

He chuckled, low and warm. "You think I didn't know? I knew you were acting the second you grabbed your stomach. But I wanted to play along. I was willing to act the fool, drive you to the hospital, until you were done with the act."

"Oh my God." I covered my face with both hands. "This is so embarrassing. Why would you do that?"

"Actually, I wanted to thank you." He turned in his seat to face me. "I've never been in such a situation before. For a moment, with everyone staring, phones out, cameras in my face, I felt put on the spot.
