Chapter 44

I looked at her, trying hard to at least pretend to be shocked. I couldn't do it. I began to giggle and then it turned into a full-on belly laugh when I saw her glaring at me.

"I'm sorry," I said, biting my lip until it almost bled to stop the after giggles.

"Yes. It's hard remembering not to talk back to the Dom's and to do as you're told. But the fun we've had, wouldn't you say that's worth it?" Jordan said putting his hand on Lizzie's knee.

"Totally," she said with a sweet smile and there was silence in the car for a while as we were all lost in our own little world.
