The Circle
“Dark forest lined both sides of the road, crowding around the car. The seclusion and silence made me tighten my hand around the door handle.
I glanced at Devin, his knuckles pale where they wrapped around the steering wheel. Red lights from the dash painted his features with eerie shadows. A shiver ripped through me.
A few minutes passed like an eternity before he pulled into an unmarked driveway. We snaked through evergreens that stabbed into the starry night. Tension snuck into my shoulders, ...and I fidgeted in the leather seat as we approached a ranch-style bungalow in a clearing.
Once we stopped, Devin turned off the car, disappeared, and popped up outside my window. My heart gave a wild thump against my ribs as he opened the door and offered his hand. I climbed out without his help, even the hurt in his eyes unable to overpower my assembling thoughts.
I’d rather have died than be left alone with Malachi. Somehow I needed to make Devin understand that. What if I enjoyed what Malachi did to me?MoreLess
