The team waits by our designated pit crew area, and I throw an arm around Dylan’s shoulder, awaiting the race with Colin in his yellow car, the Rainbow Warrior jacket getting its chance to shine again. She looks up at me with an appreciative smile. MouthingI love youto me, I wipe her tear-stained cheek with my thumb.
“I love you,” I whisper back.
“She’d be so proud of the man you’ve become, Lake,” she continues, gazing longingly at me.
“The man I’m becoming,” I correct her. Her lashes flutter as she inhales a breath. “The man I’m becoming with you.”
Our lips meet again as the flag flies in the background. The crowd erupts in a roar as people jump and wave their hands around wildly in the blur surrounding us. I see nothing but her and my first glimpse of what a future with us together could really mean.
Arrivingbackatmycondo, we’re both giggling like a couple of high-schoolers from the day’s events.
Colin did, in fact, win the race. He won the race with the souped-up car he constructed secretly all on his own. His car flew past everyone else who was simply pedaling their cars around the track. Our team looked on in shock when Colin’s car shifted into gear, zooming through everyone, lapping most of the racers multiple times as his car flew like the wind. We went crazy, Dylan, Ashton, Kat, and I, hollering like a group of wild animals as he finished the race in record time.
He was disqualified almost immediately upon stepping out of the car that had entirely broken the rules of the race, but it didn’t stop Ashton and I from lifting him up on our shoulders and cheering like a bunch of crazed savages living in a world all their own. It didn’t matter that he didn’t technically win. He won in his eyes. He won in our eyes, and the smile it brought to his face was one I’d never seen before.
I’d ruin any race, break any rules, disrupt any event to see him smile like that again.
“He told me it was the jacket,” she says, still smiling from our laughter. “That he never even really connected the battery like he said.”
A deep rumble of laughter leaves my throat as Dylan slides up in front of me, gripping the zipper of my sweatshirt in her fists.
“I’m just glad to have my truck working again.”
After the race, Ashton drove Kat and Colin back to the apartment complex for the night so Dylan and I could spend some time together. Hopefully, he made it out alive.
My smile slowly fades into a grin as she flutters her bright amber eyes, gazing up at me with a new fiery look in them. We have so much to catch up on, but at the moment, all I want to do is reorient myself with the way she feels, the way she tastes.
“Thank you,” she whispers, gazing at my lips, then back at my eyes. “For being everything I’ve ever wanted and needed. For being everything I never thought existed.”
I know she’s referring to how I am with Colin. Showing her that a relationship with someone who chooses them both is really possible. He’s always going to hold a special place in her life, and that alone is one thing I admire most about her. I couldn’t be happier it didn’t work with anyone else.
“And thank you for showing me that a life withoutherisn’t an ending. Only a beginning.”
Her chest expands then contracts as the breath leaves her. Hands slowly rake up my neck, finding the hair at the back of my head. She toys with it between her fingers, the feeling so welcomed.
“Fuck, I’ve missed you,” I practically groan, pressing my body against hers.
Like gas to a flame, the fire between us takes off.
Clothes become a distant memory as we kiss. The need to connect, never more pressing. I strip her down to her bra and underwear in the living room. My shirt gets thrown on the coffee table, my pants pulled down by her eager hands. I pick her up and her thighs find my waist as we fumble back towards the bedroom, our lips staying connected.
I toss her back onto the bed and she squeals. Smiling, she bites down on her bottom lip and I slowly stalk towards her, pulling my boxer briefs down before I kneel on the bed. She slides out of her underwear, letting the straps of her bra slide down her shoulders before she tosses it into a dark corner of the room. We’re both naked on the bedspread as my thigh separates hers and I settle myself between them.
The quickness has faded as we lie here, skin against skin, studying each other, remembering, soaking it all in.
“I missed you so much, too,” she whispers, her thumb brushing across my bottom lip.
She leans up, capturing the lip between hers, sucking on it softly. My heart races almost as fast as hers as we familiarize ourselves with each other again. The head of my hard and ready cock brushes against her soft, wet center, and we both release breathy sighs.
My hand runs over her perky breast, cupping the soft skin in my palm. Her eyes fall closed and I lean down, capturing her pebbled nipple into my mouth, sucking softly.
“Please, Lake, I can’t wait any longer,” she moans, dropping her head back against the pillow and arching her back, needing more contact.
“Okay, baby,” I whisper, understanding. I can’t wait any longer either. The five weeks without her were entirely too much.
Gripping the base of my shaft, I run the length of her, coating myself in her eager excitement. With our eyes on each other’s, I angle myself, finally pushing into her tight, dripping heat.
“Fuck,” I mumble, dropping my head against hers as my cock slides deep.
