“Newly developed fear,” he grunted.
“Why don’t you take this right turn here so we can trade-off? We’ll want to get back before it gets too late,” I said.
“Yes, that’s a great idea, Theo,” Ben said loudly. “I’m sure everyone will be ready to eat dinner soon.”
“Oh, okay,” Josie said, slight disappointment coloring her voice.
I sighed.Maybe we should let her drive for a few more minutes?
She took the right turn I had pointed out so aggressively that the back wheels slid out from under us, kicking up a cloud of dust. She pulled over onto the side of the road with a stop so abrupt we were all thrown against our seat belts.Then again, maybe not.
“That was so much fun,” Josie squealed. “I was worried I would be a little rusty since it’s been so long, but I’ve still got it.”
“Oh, yes,” Sam said dryly. “Your driving skills haven’t changed a bit.”
“I’ll sit in the back so one of you can have more space up front,” she offered, hopping out of the car and closing the door behind her.
“I swear to god I’m all for removing the Designation Laws restricting omegas except for this one,” Cam said.
Sam snorted. “I dare you to say that in front of her.”
The three of us were fucking cowards because there was no way we would tell Josie she was the worst driver I had ever seen. I wouldn’t trust her to drive a car in a video game.
Josie opened the back door. “Who’s moving up front?”
“I will,” Sam said, getting out of the car and giving Josie a hug. “Glad we’re all still alive after that,” he said with a wink.
Josie scowled at him before hopping up into the backseat.
“I’ll sit in the middle,” she said, crawling over Ben, who squeezed her ass.
Cam wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in close, breathing in her scent.
“You smell a little stressed,” she said, pressing her face into Cam’s neck. He just grunted in response.
I slipped into the driver’s seat and exhaled. I wasn’t sure how we would convince Josie she should never drive again, but we would have to think of something.
“I’m a good driver, right? Sam always used to tell me I was awful and that there was a reason omegas were banned from driving. Isn’t that terrible?”
“Yes, terrible thing to say, Sam,” Ben choked out, covering his face so Josie couldn’t see his smile.
“You think I’m a good driver, right Theo?”
I hesitated, unsure of what to say.
Josie gasped and I saw her face transform into the cutest fucking pout in the rearview mirror.
“You think I’m a bad driver!” she shouted, crossing her arms as she looked at the three of us.
“Your skills might be better suited for a racecar track,” Cam said, stroking her hair.
“Or a car chase in a movie,” Ben said with a chuckle. “We still love you, even though you did just try to murder us all.”
Josie huffed, but I could tell by her scent she wasn’t too upset. Sam looked positively gleeful as he turned back to Josie.
“I’m vindicated,” he said.
“The only thing this has proven is that alphas are total wimps. I bet Clementine, Westin, and Poppy would appreciate my driving.”
