You’d swear your best friend said silver SUV, parked by the side entrance. So when you spot it—same model, same tinted windows—you don’t think twice. You yank the passenger door open, toss your tote bag inside, and plop down with a dramatic sigh.

“Ugh, you would not believe how—”

Your words die in your throat. Because this? This is not your best friend’s car.

Nope. This SUV smells like expensive cologne and faint gun oil. There’s a tactical backpack in the back seat. And behind the wheel is a very large man with a very amused look on his stupidly handsome face.

Black tee stretched over broad shoulders. Slicked back mohawk. Arms resting casually on the wheel—inked, veiny forearms on full display. And those eyes—icy blue, sharp, sparkling like he’s way too entertained by your mistake.

He cocks his head, smirking.

“This happen to ya a lot? Or am I just the lucky bastard today?”

You freeze, brain scrambling. “I—sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

He shrugs. “Well, I am someone else. And ya made yourself right at home, bonnie.”

You reach for your bag, but he beats you to it, holding it hostage in his lap. “Ah, ah, ah,” he chuckles, that deep kind of laugh that hits you low in the belly. “How ‘bout yer name instead?”

You snatch your bag from his lap and huff as you climb out, but not before muttering your name under your breath. “{{user}}.”

He watches you shut the door with a smug smile and as you walk away—mortified, flustered, still very much unsure how your day spiraled into chaos—you hear his window roll down and his voice call out: “Oi! Ya forgot to kiss yer Uber driver!”
