“They are both amazing women,” Mac adds as he looks out to the deck. The girls have decided to sit on loungers near the pool. “I might ask Elle to stay over since we have tomorrow off as well.”
“We don’t have it off, per se. We have a delayed arrival,” I remind him. “Belle Island is Sunday.”
“We have the car ready for that already, and we’re flying out Thursday. There’s not much that needs to be finished on the cars. The hauler leaves on Thursday morning,” he responds. I nod in agreement.
“Well, the crew should be here any minute; let’s get the food out to the tables and be ready for our arrivals. I think Jack is bringing his wife and two girls. Todd’s bringing his new girl, and Neil will be here with Candice and their daughter.”

“Do you always do this for the crew?” Haisley asks as she stands next to me at the grill. I look down at her and smile.
“I do. It’s the only day we get off during this part of the race schedule, and they all used to be single. So, I figured that it would be a bonding thing as well, you know?”
She nods. “It’s wonderful that you care so much about the people you work with.”
“They’ve become my family,” I admit as I look over the grill to where the team is hanging out by the pool talking and having fun. I’m currently on round two of grilling. “How are you feeling? Do you need another drink?”
Haisley shakes her head and smiles up at me. “I’m good. Thank you for inviting us over today.”
“You’re part of the team,” I reply winking at her.
“Is that the only reason?” she questions as she nudges my leg with her hip.
“The primary one, yes. However,” I bend down to place my lips against her ear, “You can feel the same thing I feel. Can’t you?”
“Yes,” she practically moans as I place a soft kiss on her ear. It’s the first time I’ve placed my lips on any part of her skin, and I can feel the spark that rushes through the both of us.
“Saint!!!” I hear Mac yell from behind me. I growl as I pull away from her, missing the contact instantly.
“What?” I huff as I turn to look for him.
“Food ready yet?” He arches his eyebrows and smiles.
“Almost,” I grit out to him. Turning to Haisley, I let out a frustrated breath. “He’s going to regret interrupting that.”
She giggles as I flip the burgers and place the done ones on a plate. “Don’t kill him,” she whispers taking a draw from her beer.
“I can’t kill him. I need him to help build the cars and fuel them for you, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t make his life a little hellish for the next week or so.” I raise my eyebrows.
Haisley shakes her head, and we walk back to the rest of the group, to bullshit and enjoy the time off.

Haisley and Elle are in the kitchen rinsing dishes and placing them into the dishwasher as Mac and I say goodbye to everyone.
“You don’t have to do that,” I tell her as I come up behind her. No one is here besides Mac and Elle, and I don’t give a fuck anymore.
I need to touch her. I need to feel her skin against mine. I want to know what her lips feel like against mine.
“Well, I felt like I needed to help with something since you cooked all day,” she replies as she turns around to face me.
“You just being here was enough.”
“Is that so?” she asks. I nod and smile.
“I’m going to kiss you now,” I warn her as I slowly bend my head to meet hers. I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her closer to me.
“Please...” she moans out as my lips meet hers. I pull her closer to me, if that is even possible. My other hand cups the back of her head as I deepen the kiss.
