I lean up on my tiptoes, so my lips are inches from his. The smoothness of his jaw is evidence he shaved this morning. My body heats at the thought of him being all scruffy with his mouth between my legs.
“I can handle anything you throw at me,” I whisper my challenge, and Kayden’s hands drop from the car and grip my hips tight. His hold is possessive, just like it was last night.
“You’re fuel to my fire, speedy,” he retorts before crashing his mouth on mine. The warmth of his lips consumes me while his tongue invades my mouth, darting along mine as he tastes and licks me.
My hands tangle around his neck, holding onto him. Kayden picks me up easily, pressing me against the window of the car, and I can feel his hardness at my core. My pussy throbs, pulsing with the need to be filled. I don’t know how he would feel inside me, but I want to find out.
“You make me hard.” His tortured whisper along my lips makes me smile. “You have the same effect on me racing does,” he explains before rolling his hips, causing the friction of his erection to rub against my clit, earning him a whimper of need.
“I like that effect.” My voice comes out breathy, and I can’t hide my attraction to him. We started off as enemies, angry at each other, but now that we’ve gone beyond that, I think those first few fights were always going to come to this.
Him and me, with the desire to burn up the track.14KaydenPulling away from Haelee isn’t easy. The moment my lips touch hers, it feels like I should be against her, inside her, and I can’t explain it. The need to pull her into my arms all the time tugs at my chest.
Her eyes are wide, the pupils making them look black as I take her in. Plump lips are glossy from the kiss, and I can’t help but feel a possessiveness I’ve never felt before.
“Thank you for that,” she mumbles softly, her voice husky, and I’m trying not to think about how wet she must be. Because from the sounds she made while we kissed, there’s no doubt she’s as turned on as I am.
“You don’t have to thank me every time we kiss,” I tease, but I know she’s talking about the race.
“Don’t be an insufferable idiot,” she bites out playfully with a swat on my shoulder. I cup her face in my hands, holding her hostage so I can look into those dark depths, and I wonder just what she’s doing to me.
“You, my little speed demon, are so fucking beautiful,” I tell her, my voice deep and husky. The desire I had to tamp down moments ago still runs through my veins. “I don’t ever want to hear you talk yourself down again. Am I understood?”
She looks at me for a long time. I know it’s difficult for her. When you grow up believing something, it’s hard to change the mindset. But with Haelee, I want her to realize she’s gorgeous. She’s everything I could have asked for, and she will believe it because I’ll tell her every day.
“Yes, slick.” She uses the nickname she’s clearly given me, causing me to chuckle. I can’t fight this, and I can’t deny it. Since the moment I saw her, I was attracted. And it’s only turned hotter and more intense with each passing day.
“Are you hungry?”
Haelee nods. “Yeah, I could eat.”
“Good,” I respond, taking her hand while leading her to the office. “We’ll grab something at the diner, and then we’ll take a drive down the coast before going to your place.” I want to stop at the beach to spend some quiet time with her, but with the darker clouds hanging overhead, I don’t think we’ll have time for that.
As we reach the office, Curtis returns, looking ruffled and without the brunette he had on his arm earlier. “Hey,” he greets me with a sly smirk.
“We’re heading out. The cars are on the track.”
“Sounds good. Did you have fun?” He poses his question to Haelee.
“I did. Thank you for letting us race.” Her voice is confident, but there’s still a hint of shyness, which I find alluring.
“Any time. Just hit me up. Get your man here to give me a call, and I can get some cars in,” Curtis informs her with a grin on his face. I know he’s testing the waters. He wants to see if I speak up for her when he calls me her man or if Haelee will refuse the idea.
But she doesn’t. Instead, she smiles. “That would be amazing. I used to go with my dad, but since he died, I haven’t had a chance to do it again.”
“Well, consider yourself a welcome member any time you want.” My best friend has always been charming, but I notice how he puts it on thicker just for her.
