what I was doing. Maverik would turn me in without a second thought.
I crept into the garage and grinned when I saw several spare keys just hanging on the wall in plain sight. They were going to make this way too easy for me. I could hear music thumping from above me and relaxed. The guys were probably distracted and getting wasted at this very moment.
I grabbed a set of keys and hit the unlock on the key fob. A yellow Audi R8 Spyder beeped in response, and I shook my head. Nope. That would be way too conspicuous. I looked through the keys until I identified the ones to a blue car that looked like a sportscar mixed with an SUV. That would have to do. I threw my backpack in the back and hopped in the driver’s seat.
Was I really going to do something so incredibly stupid?
Yeah. I was.
I sat in the car and looked around at all the buttons. This was much more complicated than a go-cart. I sighed and picked up my phone. YouTube would teach me what I needed to know. After skimming through a few videos and locating the important pieces of the car, I think I understood enough of the basics.
I leaned down to figure out the buttons to move the seat so I could reach the gas and brake pedals. My head jerked up a second later when I heard a thunk on my door. My eyes widened when I saw Kingston’s grinning face in the window, and I scrambled for the lock button to keep him out. A second of fumbling cost me my chance at escape because it locked a second too late.
The front passenger door had already opened to reveal Maverik and his insufferable smirk. He slid in the seat next to me, and I scowled at him.
“What?” he asked as he made himself comfortable.
“You know what,” I growled in irritation. “Get out.”
“No way!” Kingston laughed as he climbed in the back. “Mav and I have been wanting to take this baby out for a spin since Dad had it delivered, but we haven’t wanted to risk his wrath just yet.”
I blinked at him in surprise. “I thought this SUV looking thing would be less obvious than one of the sports cars.”
Kingston grabbed his heart as if he were in pain. “Sis, you are sitting in the fastest SUV on the planet. We’re talking 0-to-60 in 3.6 seconds flat and up to 190 miles per hour while sitting in a cocoon of luxury that rivals a palace. This is the infamous Lamborghini Urus.”
“Why not just get a sports car?” I asked with a frown.
Maverik rolled his eyes. “You could take this baby off-roading in the snow and ice with four of your favorite friends and have it handle like a dream.”
“Or hot chicks you want to impress,” Kingston added.
“Whatever,” I said with a shrug. “Are we done here?”
“Not even close,” Kingston laughed. “Start it up, and let’s go.”
“No,” I said irritably. “The two of you need to get out.” I turned to Maverik. “Especially you.”
Maverik adjusted his seat and then met my eyes. “Is this about your best friend betraying your trust? Because you can hardly blame his poor decisions on me.”
I glared at him. “I can blame you for being a manipulative asshole. Ryan has been there for me through everything. Now he’s going through some shit, and I’m not going to leave him to suffer alone.”
“Fine,” Maverik said with a shrug.
“I think a drive in one of the hottest cars on the planet might make you feel better, Kitty Kat,” Kingston said as he popped his head between the front seats. “Dad had this one custom made for him, so it’s a one of a kind.”
I flushed with embarrassment. “Uh, it sounds like this might be important to your dad. Maybe we shouldn’t.”
Maverik smirked, and I hated how hot he looked with his dark scruff and full lips. “You were ready to go just a minute ago. Don’t let us stop you.”
I bit my lower lip. Making it to the school by coasting and hoping no one noticed me was a big difference from having these guys witness my struggle to figure out how to drive for the first time. But I was already pissed at Maverik. Admitting I didn’t know how to drive felt like handing him yet another victory.
He examined me closely, and I knew his grey eyes saw too much. “Here, I’ll hit the
