Summary: Milos takes Alex for a trip he's unlikely to appreciate.

“Where’s the seatbelt?” Alex muttered from behind Milos.

“I’m your seatbelt.” Milos shrugged, glancing over his shoulder at him. “Or there’s a handrail at the back, your choice.”

He twisted to look, then stared at him and wrapped both arms around his waist. “You’ll do.”

Milos grinned.
