Our headlights extended over the dusty flats, a dry, cracked plain where even shrubbery refused to grow. A soft breeze filled the car as he stopped the engine and rolled down the windows. Darkness poured into the cabin as the air settled around us, the desert quickly forgetting our intrusion.

“Do you have any more questions?” he asked.

I ran my fingers down the hair framing my face, a fluttery gesture betraying my nerves. “Nothing that we haven’t already covered.”

He looked me up and down, his gaze brimming with a hunger that inspired goosebumps up my arms. His voice was low and thick when he spoke again. “Then you’ve got sixty seconds.”

I heard the crunch of feet hitting the ground followed by a car door slamming shut, the sound setting me off like a shot.

I scurried to my feet and into a sprint, my breath burning in my chest and beating in my ears. My boots fell heavy on the dirt and I wondered whether I could actually outrun him.

I looked back to see how much distance I’d put between us, only to see that he was close on my tail, far closer than I’d anticipated, running low and fast and straight for me. I yelped and pushed harder, pumping my arms and legs, sweat running down my brow. I wasn’t about to make this easy for him if I could help it – and he wasn’t about to make it easy for me…
