Redhead’s First Ride Episode 1: The Arrival
One ruined road turns a simple family visit into something far more dangerous. In Episode 1, Ethan and Victoria can't drive the last stretch to the ranch, so the family switches to ATVs. Jack takes Victoria as his passenger, and pressed against her confident father-in-law, she feels a pull she can't explain. Ethan rides behind his grown-up stepsister Roxy, and every bump throws him against her – waking a reaction he can't hide.
It all starts with a homecoming. Ethan brings his young wife Victoria to visit his family, and the trip promises a quiet holiday – until the road ruins those plans. The final stretch is too bad to drive, so the visit continues on ATVs. That's where the pairing goes wrong, or very right, depending on who you ask. Jack, Ethan's confident father, takes Victoria as his passenger. Wrapped around her future father-in-law, Victoria feels a sudden, strong attraction she never saw coming. Reserved as she is, she says nothing – but the thought of Jack stays with her. Ethan ends up riding behind Roxy, his grown-up stepsister, who grabs the handlebars herself. The trail is bumpy, every jolt presses him against her, and his body betrays him long before the ride is over. Roxy, of course, notices more than she lets on. This first chapter continues directly from the Prologue and shows the moment both secret desires wake up on the same afternoon. Readhead's First Ride builds the tension ride by ride, and what happens next at The Dinner proves the ranch holiday has only begun.
