We get to the end and our cars come to a stop side by side. We are both clearly panting, but she races out of the car and over to mine. I’m just able to clear the door when she launches herself into my arms.
“That was incredible. I’ve never been so nervous and exhilarated at the same time before.” Her squeals of excitement have me spinning her in my arms. Seeing her this happy has been my goal every time we come out here. I feel like today is going to be extra special just for us.
“Are you ready for our date, Little Shadow?” I set her down, and we take off our helmets.
“You mean there’s more? I thought the driving was the date.” We toss our helmets in the car before I take her hand and pull her to me.
“What do you take me for? An amateur? Lev told me your date with him was your first. He set the bar pretty high, but I still think I can beat him.”
“Oh really?” I move us to the car hangar, and we enter through the back. There’s a large truck with blankets all piled in with this cheese board thing that to me looks like an adult lunchable, but the man in the dining hall suggested it so I went with it. I think he called it ‘shark coochies’ but maybe that isn’t right.
A large screen is set up with a projector, and my favorite movies of all time are lined up. The entire Fast and Furious collection isn’t ever taken seriously by those in the real car community, but to me, they are classics. They made me believe there was a kind of freedom and family found in driving. I didn’t have to learn it just because my father demanded it, but because I wanted the same thing these characters found in this sport.
I help her up into the truck and get us settled. I prop up pillows and blankets before starting the movie and feeding my girl cheese, meat, and a little bit of fruit. It’s so hot watching her eat from between my fingers that only ten minutes in I’m ready to fuck her brainless.
Stop it. Down dog. I have to make this a real date.
I adjust myself carefully before looking back at Evie. “Hey, so I wanted to talk to you about some things.”
I never use a serious tone, so the minute I do, she sits up and listens.
“I know you said you’ve forgiven me for the way I acted after we found out who you were, but I want to explain myself and give you a real apology.”
“Damien, you don’t have…” I cut her off.
“Please, Little Shadow. I need to do this, for both of us.” She nods, so I move forward.
“You were the first person to ever get the story about my past. You’re the only one who knows about all of my scars.”
I take a deep breath as I feel the tears coming. I know I’ve told her a million times that this reaction is normal, but being vulnerable like this never feels good.
“When we found out you were keeping secrets, it felt like I relived all of those moments with my father again. I felt scared and trapped. When you told me I was just like all of the men who hurt you before, I was the only one in the room who really knew what that meant. At the time I was able to ignore it because my anger outweighed the guilt. But…”
My voice breaks as the first few tears race down my cheeks. Her hand wraps around mine and gives me the strength to keep pushing forward.
“But, those words still haunt me. I never want to remind you of those men. I never want to take from you like that again. I can’t bear the idea of you seeing me that way ever again.” My breath stutters as I sit there, waiting for her to respond.
My hair falls into my face as I look down at our hands. She combs it back with her fingers as she tilts my head to look at her.
“I was angry too, Sunshine. I wish every day that I could go back and change how things happened. But this isn’t a fairytale. There are no genies or fairy godmothers. We have to make our own special kind of magic in this world.”
“What magic is that?” I ask, my voice strained.
“Forgiveness.”
My lip trembles as I take her face in my hands, looking her in the eyes. The only thing I’ve craved, since I was a child who lost his mother, was a sense of belonging—a sense of family. And this girl gives me all of that. She’s not just my shadow because she’s good at hiding in the dark. She's my little shadow because as long as I’m standing, my shadow is with me.
“Thank you,” I breathe. Her lips meet mine in a kiss that makes me believe every word she just said. We have to make our own kind of magic here, and I plan to make a lot of it with her.
The sound of cars taking off in the movie rings out around us. I lay her on her back below me.
“Let me earn that forgiveness then,” I say as I inch down her body. Her eyelids are hooded as they look down at me. She knows just what I can do to earn it. Sliding down her legs, I work off her pants then settle between her thighs, spreading them wide for me to get a good look at her glistening pussy.
“How long have you been this wet for me?” I ask her as I cup her center.
“Since the moment I met you in the drift.” Fuck, she’s already panting for me.
I add a little pressure with my hand to reward her for answering me. Her hips push into me, seeking more. I give it to her. This isn’t a scene, it’s not about me having control. This is for her.
