“I thought Oz had better roads than this,” she remarked. 
“Yes, they do.” 
“This road is not even a paved one.” 
“Because we are in the forest, babe, driving through the national reserve.” 
An icy chill coursed through her spine. 
“Is this the only route?” 
“No. This is a less traffic route going through the bushes.” 
“Why did you choose this one?” 
“No one will be there to hear just in case you plan on yelling and screaming.” 
“Why would I do that?” 

In an hour, he will be engaged to her cousin. But when his eyes land on her scarlet lips, everything changes.

Is it pure lust or something more?
