Chapter 21

• Ace’s hair was still wet, sitting in sexy curls around his forehead, and he smelled like soap and something woodsy like cedar. Outside in the parking lot, he led Olivia over to his bike and straddled it while she stood by a little anxiously. He held out his helmet to her, and she quickly put it on before taking his hand to steady herself as she climbed on behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
• “Hang on tight,” Ace said right before firing up his bike. He didn’t have to tell Olivia twice as her arms tightened around his middle, and she laid her cheek against his back, breathing him in, almost unable to believe that she was actually here, holding on to Ace Walker...to her late-night love for the first time.
• Ace drove to the edge of town before he started coming to a haul. Olivia looked around in confusion as Ace pulled into the old run-down drive-in that had been sitting deserted for years. He cut the engine and helped Olivia off, taking the helmet from her and setting it on his seat. He smiled slightly at Olivia’s weird look and took her hand, leading her around the side of the building to the back entrance.
