Strangers

Chapter 1

She didn't know why she offered them a ride. She never did stuff like this, ever. Her mothers words repeated themselves in her head "Murderers can be handsome too," She swallowed as she activated the brakes, bringing the car to a stop next to the motorway rest stop. Cars drove past her as she watched them jog over to the door. The taller ones navy coloured jeans were ripped at the knees, but they alluded to the firm, long legs underneath. He wore a faded, red Rolling Stones t-shirt that stretched over taught muscles. Several tattoos spiralled around his wrist to his upper arm. His short, ebony hair was styled and messy at the same time, which made him look even sexier. The other man who was slightly shorter, had shaggy blonde hair, wisps falling round his oval shaped face. He wore black shorts that stopped just above his knees and a over sized grey tank top with an Steppe eagle printed on it, He only had a single script tattoo on the underside of his wrist.

Damn, she thought as she nibbled her thumb nail. Just wow! These two were probably the most gorgeous guys she'd ever seen in her 23 years.  

The taller one opened the front passenger door of her Jeep, the shorter guy going for the backseat. Up close she her eyes met with piercing green ones. "Hey, thanks for the ride. It's baking outside," He motioned for the rucksack at his feet. "Do you want me to pit this in the spare seat?" he questioned.  

"Back seats fine,"  

He smiled and did as she asked, then sat back and clipped in his seat belt. Offering his hand, he said "Hi, I'm Robin, but call me Rob,"  

Another hand appeared beside Rob's,"And I'm Luke,"  

Taking both their hands she said "Hey, I'm Sarah," Holy shit, what beautiful biceps they both had, she thought as she gazed at their out stretched arms. Turning from Rob to Luke, she watched them both give her dazzling smiles, that madd her heart ricochet in her chest.  

Sarah smiled back, though not as confident as theirs. She didn't understand why she did this- if she had met either of these guys anywhere else, she wouldn't have approached them; as far as she was concerned, they were way out of her league. "so where are you headed," she asked, Luke's hand was still holding hers in a tight, firm grip. wow, she had never felt such a sensual handshake before.  

"Brighton, actually, but we doubt your going all that far," Rob replied.  

Sarah breathed in deeply. She didn't think they would be so near to where she was going. For a brief second she considered lying to them both, but that would be rude and unfair. She did however believe this could one of the silliest ideas she'd had in her long list of transgressions. But one thing was clear, if they weren't psychos or killers, she wouldn't have to make a long trip by herself. And anyway her mum always said to never travel alone.  

"Well I guess your in luck. I'm going to London, so I can get you both at least most of the way there,"  

"No way! We're so grateful that you stopped. I've personally never hitch -hiked before and I don't think Rob has either, but we both can agree that we'll never do it again,"  

"mmm definitely, we've walked the last five or ten miles and no one wanted to pick us up!" Rob exclaimed.  

Sarah glanced in her side mirror for an opening in the cars, turned on the blinker and pulled out. "yeah I can see why," She moved swiftly into traffic and accelerated.  

"Do we look that intimidating then?" Rob asked, surprised. Looking from himself to Luke. 

"No," she chuckled. Well, she did think they looked intimidating but not in a frightening way, but more in they were the alphas here way. "it's not you guys, its people not trusting each other as mich as they used to. My mum is always on about how she used to leave her car unlocked at night, but these days she not only locks the door at night but in they day as well,"  

"Yeah my parents say the same thing," laughed Luke. He paused for a moment as he clapped Rob on the shoulder in a comforting gesture. Sarah watched the brotherly moment between them and wondered what was wrong. As quick as it started it was over. Reaching forward Rob turned on the air conditioner vents and moved them to blow towards his face. "All I got to say is l thank the man who invented air conditioner," smiled Rob.  

Sarah laughed "it think its about 33 degrees today," which was rare in England. "But actually you have to thank the mechanic who fixed it last Saturday. I couldn't bare the thought of driving for 6 hours without air conditioning almost as much as I hated the 300 pound repair bill,"
