Unforgettable (Haven Falls 4)

“We?”
“Yeah,” she says. “Me, Aiden, and Spence.”
Spencer? Geez, this must be the third time this week they’ve been hanging out. Ever since the fight at school, he seems to be a constant in our lives. I mean, I understand saying ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ in the hallways when we pass, but this is going from zero to one hundred practically overnight. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing at all romantic about it, but it’s just a little…odd.
Who knows? Maybe hanging out with the dude and getting all that male attention is good for her. I mean, it’s a bit different when the attention is coming from Aiden. I guess it’s a different sort of attention. Maybe he’s helping to relieve the ache Rivers has left behind, and if that’s the case, the guy can hang around as much as he wants.
“Alright,” I tell her. “I’ll see you soon then.”
Tully ends the call and I get back to concentrating on where the hell I’m going and before I know it, I’m pulling up to the property that has been stealing all of Noah’s attention lately.
There are tractors and heavy duty machines everywhere and I gawk at everything before me as I drive down a long driveway. How the hell have they managed to accomplish so much already? The answer pops into my head a second later. Trust funds.
Geez, I can only imagine what life would be like to live rich and famous, but then I think I wouldn’t be content. I’m so happy right now that I wouldn’t dare change a thing, except for the whole Rivers and my biological mom thing– they kind of suck. I got such a thrill when I got this new car and it still amazes me nearly two weeks later. I doubt the trust fund babies would get that same feeling and that’s honestly a shame. I guess that’s the silver lining of life.
I see Noah’s Camaro parked up ahead and it doesn’t look like Tully has made it yet. I keep driving in, concentrating a little harder as to not run over any of the millions of workers or screw up anything that they’ve been putting all their time and effort into.
It doesn’t go unnoticed that the track is basically done, and my God, it’s freaking huge. This place is incredible, and while most of it is dusty and incomplete, it sure as hell looks like the new place to be. Maxen has started something incredible here and I don’t doubt that over the next few years, this could turn into something huge. Hell, it even looks like a track that you’d see on TV, nothing at all like the last one.
I park my car beside Noah’s and by the time I step out, he’s already found me and is bounding toward me. Noah collects me and without even giving me a chance to say ‘hi’, he throws me over his shoulder and gives my ass a good spanking. “What’s going on?” I laugh. “Put me down.”
“No way in hell, Spitfire,” he chuckles as I dangle behind him, having the perfect view of that scrumptious ass. It’s as though my hands have a mind of their own. They travel down his back and instantly grab hold of it, loving the way his tight muscles feel as he walks to wherever the hell he’s going. “Are you alright back there?”
“Mmmhmm,” I smile. I can practically feel his eyes roll. “So, what’s this big thing you’ve got to show me?” I ask, hating dangling upside down but loving the perks. I mean, maybe I could slip my hand inside, get a bit of that skin on skin action.
“Hey, quit it,” he laughs as my hand slips down to grab hold of what’s mine. Did I mention that my hands are cold?
“Answer the question,” I tell him, giving a little squeeze.
“Spitfire, if you don’t stop that, I’m going to be screwing you right here in front of all these guys.”
“That’s fine by me,” I tell him, knowing there’s no way in hell he’s about to strip me naked in front of other people. I mean, he’s adventurous but he doesn’t like to share and the thought of all these people seeing what’s his would be enough to drive him insane.
Noah groans but thankfully gets back on track. “It’s not exactly something to show you, it’s more like something we need you to do.”
“Uhhhhh, have you seen where we are?” I grumble, confused. “There’s literally nothing I could offer this place. I mean, I’d be a good spectator when it opens but you know just as well as I do that I can’t build shit or should even have anything to do with making suggestions for this place.”
“Trust me,” he laughs. “I know.”
“Ha. Ha. You’re so funny, Noah Cage.”
Noah spanks my ass once again and I have to squeeze my thighs as a moan sails out of me. I know he didn’t mean for that to be sexual, but damn. My body certainly reacted that way.
