Chapter 257 Josh Sees Someone Familiar on a Bike
The engines roared, wind howled past, and Mia tightened her arms around Kenny''s waist. She could feel the heat of his body and the raw power of the bike rattling beneath them.
Everything around them blurred-buildings, trees, road signs-all streaking by.
The two bikes were side by side, locked in a dead heat.
Then came a sharp curve up ahead. Kenny shouted over the roar of the wind, "Mia, hold on!"
Mia''s grip instinctively tightened.
They hit the curve fast. Kenny didn''t slow down. He leaned into the turn, taking
the bend like a pro.
Their bodies dipped low with the bike, tracing a clean, dangerous arc along the curve-and just like that, they passed the other racer and Taylor in one smooth
move.
The bike roared down the open stretch, and Kenny whooped into the wind. "Mia, you feeling that?"
Mia actually smiled-something real, rare, and glowing even from behind the helmet.
She opened her mouth to answer, and froze.
A ck luxury car appeared in her line of sight.
She knew that car.
It was Josh''s.
As the motorcycle flew past Josh''s car, something caught his eye. He turned just
in time to catch a sh of Mia-and his heart skipped a beat.
He couldn''t see her face under the helmet, but that outfit? He knew it. No doubt about it.
He''d just seen her wearing it this morning at Brooker Vi. Standing in the kitchen. Same clothes, same posture.
Josh leaned forward, eyes locked on the bike as it sped ahead, trying to make out her face.
But the motorcycle was already gone, a blur disappearing into the distance.
His reflexes kicked in. He hit the gas, trying to close the gap.
But the moment he elerated, a thunderstorm of engine noise erupted behind him.
A swarm of six or seven motorcycles came flying past, dark and fast, filling the road and cutting off any chance of catching up.
Josh sighed and eased off the gas.
He stared at the bikes pulling away and told himself, I''m probably just overthinking
it.

With that, Josh let it go. He slowed down and watched the motorcycles vanish ahead.
Up front, Kenny was tearing down the road.

He leaned into the ride, every move sharp and controlled. His hands gripped the handlebars tight, and under his helmet, only his eyes were visible-lit up with pure thrill.
He was in full performance mode, showing off every bit of his skill. With Mia behind him, he was determined to impress. In his mind, he looked incredible right now-fast, fearless, and cool as hell.
He couldn''t help the smirk pulling at his lips.
"Hey Mia, how''s my riding?" he shouted, expecting her to be impressed-maybe even breathless with admiration.
But what he got instead was Mia''s icy voice cutting right through the engine noise. "Sharp turn ahead. If you don''t wanna die, watch the road."
Kenny immediately shut up.
Still cold as ever, he thought, almostughing at himself.
And yet-God, that only made her more attractive.
He''d grown up with money. People praised him constantly. Girls went out of their way to tter him. He was used to being adored.
But Mia?
Mia didn''t y that game. She was blunt. Brutal. Zero sugarcoating. And for some twisted reason, he loved it.
He never imagined himself falling for a girl who was cold, sharp-tongued, and could absolutely beat the heck out of him.
But here he was.
She''d punched him, insulted him, and instead of backing off, he found himself wanting more. At this point, he was honestly starting to wonder if he had a full- blown masochist streak-because every time Mia put him in his ce, he kinda loved it.
Mia had no clue what was running through Kenny''s head.
The bike shot around the curve, and she gripped his waist tighter, her arms
wrapped around the lean strength of his body.
She nced back instinctively-no sign of Josh''s car.
Only then did her nerves finally settle.
Good. He''s gone.
Thest thing she wanted was for Josh to recognize her-and worse, go tell Laurie. 2/3

That''s why she always put on her best behavior when they were together.
But it wasn''t all fake.

Something about being around Laurie calmed her down. Laurie made her feel grounded. Safe. When they were together, Mia didn''t feel the need to put up walls or go on the offense. She wasn''t cold. She wasn''t
cruel.
The motorcycle roared down the wide, empty road like a ck streak across the
sky.
And sure enough, Kenny and Mia crossed the finish line first, there was nopetition.
