She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 19

"I'm still mad at you though!" I yelled over the rushing sounds of the wind whipping throughout the car and over the roar of the engine.

"Just be honest with yourself Sunshine. You like all this." I couldn't disagree with him, I liked the cars. "And this." He motioned to his body and my face practically lit on fire.

"As if." I scoffed.

"At least admit you like my cars." He tried and I giggled.

"I really like your cars," I said honestly and he grinned.

"They make you happy." He said more to himself than to me. "Things are going to get better, okay? I promise I will do everything I can to make things better for you." He was now following the speed limit. Sort of.

"It's already better."

~Zane's POV~

Once I saw her outfit, I wanted to rip them off of her and put a nun outfit on her. Not in that way. Well, maybe a little in that way. She looked so damn beautiful and happy sitting in my Bugatti. I was excited to race this baby but not excited for everyone's attention to be on her. She'll already attract attention with her clothes and looks but getting out of a Bugatti? Everyone's going to be cat calling her. I tried to calm myself down for her.

"Hey, you okay?" She asked and put her hand on my shoulder which made me freeze. She's touching me. Over time, I've noticed that she's not one for touching.

"Peachy," I replied and she giggled, taking her hand away. I missed it already so I took my right hand off of the steering wheel and placed it on her thigh. "We're almost there. Stay by me the whole time okay? The guys here, they aren't the best." She frowned and I rubbed circles on her leg to calm her down. But judging by the quick pace of her heart, it only made it worse. I smirked.

"What about when you're racing?" She pouted and I laughed.

"You'll be sitting right there with me." She smiled as we pulled into the vacant parking lot. "Ready?" She nodded and I drove up into the circle of cars. I was the first to get out but Devina wasn't too far behind.

"Damn!" I heard a few guys yell out, either towards the car or towards Devina. Maybe both. I went around to the passenger side and grabbed Devina's hand. I pulled her away from everyone's stares and started to look for Levi.

"Yo! Zane!" I heard him call and turned around. He was jogging up to us with an approving smirk, again was it towards Devina or the car? "Hey, buddy!" We did the bro hug and he moved his eyes to Devina. "And who might you be?" He sent her one of his dazzling smiles and I stepped in front of her.

"She's mine." He immediately nodded and backed away. Loyalty feels good.
