Snippet Sunday – Don’t Know, Don’t Care

It’s Snippet Sunday and I finally have a new book coming in the Concrete Angels MC series. Right now it’s off to the editor, so progress!

I’m showcasing ANGEL INK and it’s coming soon! In this snippet, we’re in Haley Michaels’ POV (all in first person) and she’s just been saved from getting hit by a car by Michael. She’s missing a shoe and asks him about the other one. This is unedited at the moment so forgive typos if you find them.

He shook his head. “I reckon it’s under the car that nearly hit you.” He frowned and tilted his head. “Do you want me to go back and look?”

I glanced down at my shoe and shook my head. “No. Might as well throw this one away with it. They brought me nothing but trouble.” Especially since I’d bought them for the party tonight. Yeah, don’t really want to remember it. I tossed it toward the nearest trash can on the street and straddled the bike.

“Let’s go. I’m cold.”

He nodded and sat on the seat in front of me. “Wrap your arms around me and hold on tight. You’ll stay warmer on the ride. It’s not far from here, but it’ll be cold. I’ll do my best to get there quickly.”

“Okay.”

He started the bike and the engine rumbled beneath us, a comforting sound in the silence of the snowy night. I rested my head against his back and tightened my grip on his waist as he rolled forward off the kickstand. As we started to move, I remembered the car that had nearly hit me. Hadn’t it crashed?

“What about the car and the person in it? Are they okay?”

“Don’t know, don’t care.”

When I raised my eyebrow at him, he sighed and closed his eyes a moment—which was freakin’ terrifying when he was driving a bike into a snowstorm. I yelped in surprise but he never veered or even shifted, and we stayed on the road until he opened his eyes again.

“They’re unharmed and the vehicle isn’t badly damaged.”

“How the hell do you know that? And what were you doing driving with your eyes closed in a snowstorm?”

“Don’t worry. We’re perfectly safe and I got this.”

I pressed my face against his back and swallowed hard. We’re so gonna die.
