Hard Time (Hard As Nails #1)
“Our conversation had been minimal, and I’d spent most of the ride from our small town into the big city admiring how adeptly Street drove. So many guys I’d known drove like exceeding the speed limit, rolling through stop signs, or burning rubber was a way to prove they had a big dick. Street didn’t drive like an old coot, but he didn’t drive like he had a point to prove either, and that made me feel safe.
The irony of that doesn’t escape me.
I’m partly drawn to Street because of the hint of dan...ger that surrounds him, but for the most part, it isn’t a danger that scares me. It’s a danger that thrills me, like walking on a tightrope with a spotlight blinding my eyes.
When he surprises me, showing me his vulnerable or charming or kind or funny side, it’s like I and only I have the power to bring that out in him and see him for the good man he truly is. It’s a heady, powerful feeling that makes me feel important.
But as we sit in the fancy restaurant, it’s a different kind of danger I feel.MoreLess
