Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem) by Pippa Moon novel Chapter 252

Liam POV

As Lottie drove quickly down the lanes, I closed my eyes, my stomach lurching with every sharp turn.

"I can't believe you let her drive." V hissed, and I had to agree; it had been a little reckless on my behalf.

"Yeah, my bad." I muttered, hating that he was right, as I would never live this down.

"Not only is she driving like a lunatic, she is pregnant. I thought pregnant females were meant to be calmer and careful." V continued to growl out in frustration.

"Her mate is in trouble." I reminded him, "What would you do if.."

"Nothing, I would do nothing," V corrected me, a lie we both knew. V was insanely protective.

"What the.." I barked when suddenly, I heard a clunk. My eyes snapped open, and I twisted around to see she scraped the car against what looked like a fence through the side mirror. But she was going too fast for me to be sure.

"You are insane!" I groaned as I span to glare at her; she met my gaze with a grin, offering a carefree,

"Don't blame her for your stupid decision to let her drive." V reprimanded me, a smile tweaking my lips.

"Oops, I'll pay for that." I wanted to be furious, to scold her for her recklessness, but her smile—radiating a sense of freedom and sheer enjoyment of the moment—softened my irritation.

"Damn right, you will," I informed her, trying to sound stern and authoritative, but she simply chuckled in response.

"You know I am technically poor, right?" She sassed, her lips curling.

"You, sister, are not poor. You are a dreadful driver, yes, but not poor." I winked as we emerged into the small town from the tangle of country lanes.

"We are here?" I asked, shocked by how quickly we had made it. The pace she set may have been frantic, but fuck was it effective.

"Where abouts are you both?" I asked as I mind-linked Chase and Adam, wanting to check their progress more out of curiosity than anything.

"In France, where do you think?" Adam complained, his tone laced with sarcasm and irritation.

"Funny!" I groaned, rolling my eyes at my dickhead of a brother.

"About twenty minutes away, how is she?" Chase responded cooly, and I could almost hear Adam's brow furrowing with suspicion and anger through the link.

"Why?" Adam demanded, his voice tinged with a warning edge that suggested he wasn't just curious but concerned about what we might be up to. Glancing at Lottie as we approached the bar, I swallowed the lump forming in my throat.

"They are going to be livid." I whined to V, who snorted in approval.

"We're pulling up to the club," I told them reluctantly.
