3 Hit the Road Jack by Christin Lovell Read Free Book Online

harmless, I got the feeling that Mr. Jameson had far more in his back pocket than he openly suggested.
    “Yes. Why didn’t you warn us?” I narrowed my eyes, awaiting his response. It’s not that I didn’t trust him, now that we’d verified him, it was just an uneasy feeling I had coming back into this. Perhaps it was just nerves related to my upcoming assignment though.
    “You will quickly find that it is not my place to warn you of what’s to come; it’s my place to prepare you for whatever may come,” he riddled.
    “That doesn’t even make sense. Wouldn’t warning us help prepare us?”
    “No. It would merely have you scrutinizing every aspect of nothing out of paranoia, especially when it comes to your mate. You don’t need to know the future; you just have to be prepared for it.”
    “Then why have us read the predictions?”
    “Because it’s a pertinent part of vampire and vampeen history,” he smirked, his brows raised as if to challenge me should I press on his answer.
    Kellan stiffened. “ I think you’re full of crap.”
    "You ready to go?" Mr. Jameson asked, completely dismissing Kellan’s outburst.
    "Where?" Kellan shifted beside me.
    "To pack. I understand we're going to Europe."
    "We?" I furrowed my brows and unblocked my thoughts.   Is he really coming with us?
    I felt the flow of energy, our vibrant connection the moment Kellan did the same.   Not if I can help it. We don't need anyone weighing us down.
    "Yes, we. You're going to need me," he stated, putting on his blazer. He grabbed a few books and papers off the desk.
    Brow raised, Kellan and I exchanged a questioning glance. "Um, no offense, but how is it exactly that you're planning to help us?"
    He brushed past us, opening the back door with his backside. We stared at him expectantly. "Well, don't just stand there. Come along," he said nodding his head outwards.
    Kellan sighed in frustration.   He's already working my nerves.   I chuckled as I followed him out.
    William walked right up to Kellan's car and stood by the back door waiting for it to be opened. I paused, looking to Kellan for his reaction.
    "Where the hell do you think you're going?" Kellan demanded.
    "With you of course. Why else would I be standing here waiting?"
    "What about class? You can't just leave," I added.
    "I was just a sub."
    I narrowed my eyes at him. "You mean to tell me you forced us to sit and listen to your long, drawn out lecture of crap for the semester for no reason whatsoever? I don't know if I like you after that Will ."
    He smirked, surprising me with a bit of charm. "You love me Lexi, or at least you will. I glamoured the real teacher to call in sick. And I actually delivered his   boring monologue; so you would have had to suffer through it anyways."
    Kellan harrumphed. "So this whole thing -" he gestured generally in Willam's direction with the flick of his wrist - "was just to get to us?"
    "Well, yes; yes it was."
    "Why not just approach us like this?" I asked.
    "You would have been more inclined to attack me." He turned his wrist up to check his watch. "Listen, you can interrogate me later. We really ought to be off given your value."
    "Huh?"
    "You're unaware of your own bounty?"
    My heart began to flutter as much as a vamp's can. I swallowed the serum that rose. "What bounty?"
    "The one-hundred million dollar bounty. How could you not be aware?"
    " Shit! " Kellan ran his fingers through his hair, looking around anxiously at our surroundings. "Why didn't you say something sooner? Let's go." He immediately hit the remote to unlock the doors and we flew into action. I was thankful that Kai had the same security features installed in any car I had the potential to ride in, and, to think, I'd made fun of him for going overboard.
    Before my rear even hit the seat Kellan had the car started; the second I sat he sped off leaving me scrambling to close my door. I turned to him, brows furrowed and eyes narrowed in frustration. His eyes were focused
