41. The Road Less Traveled

KAYLA The night dragged on without Corvin and me ever getting a chance to talk alone. We were constantly surrounded by Jordan and Casey. We were like strangers meeting for the first time. We acted as if we hadn't spent countless intimate hours together, and as if his finger wasn't inside me just a while ago. This situation was slowly driving me crazy. I couldn't tell if Corvin even wanted to talk about us right now. He has this facade that I couldn't seem to break through. It felt like there was a locked door deep inside him. No matter how hard I knocked, he seemed to have no desire to open it for me. I began to tell myself that I should probably stop trying. At least for now. “It’s getting late,” Casey suddenly murmured, glancing down at her gold wristwatch. Her comment made me instinctively check my phone for the time, since I wasn't wearing a watch myself. She was right; the hours had slipped away.

Not a single pair of headlights broke the darkness. It was just us and the quiet hum of the night."Okay," I whispered, the word barely audible as I reached out, thr

CORVINThe windows were foggy, and the air inside the car was warm and thick. I stayed close to Kayla for a minute, just listening to her breathe. Every time we’re together like this, it feels like the world stops.Finally, I moved back. The cool air from the AC hit us, and I saw her shiver. I grabbed her dress from the floor and handed it to her."We should get moving," I said, my voice a bit raspy. "As much as I’d love to stay here, this road isn't as private as I pretended it was."Kayla laughed softly and started getting dressed. "You’re the one who said no one would see us, Corvin.""Yeah,” I replied. “I lied because I wanted you," I teased, climbing back into the driver’s seat.Once she was buckled in, I started the car and pulled back onto the road. The headlights cut through the dark woods. For a while, we were quiet, just enjoying the peace. But soon, I started thinking about what happened on our last night in Thailand."I’m still annoyed about Derek," I muttered, shaking my
