I close my eyes and take a deep breath, refocusing on what I’m about to do and not on the fact my brother and parents are all here. At least it’s just them. God knows what I’d do if I knew the others were here.

Straddling my dirt bike, I start it up and rev the throttle a bit.

“Everyone ready?”

I give a thumbs up, as do the others in the lineup.

A moment later, the green flag is waved, and the race is on. I hit the throttle and go, my mind on one thing. Winning.

* * *

I pump my arm in the air finishing in first place, and grin.

My heart races and adrenaline flows through my veins. I love racing like this. That last jump was awesome, and I’d let my legs fly up as I went flying in the air. Talk about one hell of a jump. I could hear the crowd cheering. Hitting the dirt, I saw the finish line and shot straight for it with two people right on my ass. It was a close race until the last curve and that jump. If I hadn’t been able to get the lead, I wouldn’t be taking first right now.

It takes a few moments before we’re able to head out. I’ll be racing again tomorrow against the others who take first in the other rounds. I barely get off my helmet when I hear the cheers and squeals calling my name. I whip around to see my brother along with my parents, but also the club and my friends.

I’m going to kill Jamie.

Inwardly sighing, I paste a smile on my face. Though I am genuinely happy I won, I didn’t want an audience. Damnit.

“What are you all doing here?” I ask, climbing off the dirt bike and hanging the helmet on a handlebar.

“That was awesome,” Daemon’s son, Hendrik, says, starting the round of compliments and hugs from everyone.

But I ignore them all as I meet the dark seductive eyes that belong to Scythe. He doesn’t say anything, just watches me, and it’s all I can do to tear my gaze from his.

Clearing my throat, I smile at everyone. “I appreciate you all being here, but I don’t have time right now to talk. Not that I want to be mean, but I’ve got to get to my trailer with the bike to get ready for the next event.”

“You don’t race again until tomorrow,” Ivy says.

“She’s going boggin’,” Jamie answers for me with a devilish grin in place.

“Oh shit,” Sutton blurts, eyes wide.

“You really boggin’?” Everleigh asks, biting her bottom lip and staring around at the guys.

“Yeah.” I nod and avoid looking at the guys. Mostly try not to glance at Scythe again. “How about afterward, I’ll meet up with you all, and we can hang out?”

“Sounds good.” Isabelle laughs. “Have fun.”

Smiling at her, I look at my parents and open my mouth to speak, but my dad beats me to it.

“Don’t worry about any of us being here,” he says, knowing me just like my brother. “Remember, it’s not about those watching but the task itself. Have fun, focus, and do what you do best.” Kissing my cheek, he steps back and guides my smiling mom away.

Releasing a breath, I ignore Scythe and head to where I’ve got my truck parked with the trailer. I toe the stand down and steady my bike next to the side of the trailer under the canopy I set up with a chair under it for when I need to take a break and chill. It’s all I can do to keep from flipping out because I can all but sense Scythe right behind me.

Going to the side door of the trailer, I unlock it and step inside. For this next bit, I’ve got to change.

I barely get my protective gear off before I find myself pinned to the sidewall and Scythe’s mouth on mine. Those hands of his gripping my waist, holding me in place as he presses into me, letting me feel his erection.

Oh boy, by the feel of that and the way he thrusts his tongue in my mouth, I know I’m in trouble. But I don’t know if I should be scared or not.

CHAPTER8

SCYTHE

Never in my life have I wanted anyone as I want Josephine. Watching her in that damn race was . . . fuck, I don’t even have the words to describe what she was. The way she handled that damn dirt bike, the tricks she did in the air, hell, she was damn perfect out there.
