When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 999

Lemira slid into the driver's seat, only to realize her feet couldn't even reach the pedals.

Were his legs really that long?

As she fumbled around trying to figure out how to adjust the seat, Orion suddenly leaned in over her, reaching down to slide the chair forward.

With him leaning across her, she was hyper-aware of his sheer size and the heavy, musky scent of his cologne. The proximity was overwhelming.

"I can do it," she said quickly, her voice slightly breathless.

He pulled back and settled into the passenger seat. Watching her firmly grip the steering wheel, a faint, genuine smile tugged at his lips.

After finding the right position, she sat up straight, though driving such a massive car still felt foreign to her.

She glanced at him. "Buckle up."

"I trust your driving," he murmured.

With a smooth press of the accelerator, she pulled out into traffic. The ride was silent.

She focused entirely on the road, not daring to let her attention slip.

After a few minutes, she realized she hadn't asked an important question. "Which hospital?"

"Whichever. If you're in a hurry, the nearest one is fine."

She pressed her lips together. Why didn't he ask to go to the Everhart private hospital?

He would obviously get the absolute best care there.

She didn't say anything, but her mind was already made up.

Watching the route she was taking, Orion quickly realized where they were heading. A soft, satisfied light flickered in his dark eyes.

In an excellent mood, he rested his uninjured arm on the console, his fingers tapping a light, rhythmic beat.

Soon, the car pulled up to the grand entrance of the Everhart private hospital.

She put it in park and looked at him. "You'll get the best treatment here. Their staff will take care of you."

After all, he was the Everhart heir.

He stepped out of the car and looked back at her. "How are you getting home?"

"I'm grabbing a cab back to Lyria Remand Center to pick up my own car."
