Page 42 of Falling for A Lie
We hit the first turn easily, giving me the advantage I need to overcome Rad and speeding back by Caden as he finally reaches the first turn, overtaking it and having to slow down to correct the mistake.
Rad tries to pass me just as we reach the second turn causing him to hit it too late and skid to a slightly harsh left that leaves him doing a full 180.
The unhinged laughter that escapes my lips as we reach the finish line with me passing over it first has me practically breaking my neck once my car is stopped to celebrate the first two victories against the guys.
Finn smiles at me with a look of absolute glass before Miles has me picked up and spinning us around as he yells over the cheers around us “ Way to fucking go little Mama you kicked their ass!”
We're interrupted by our victory by a pissed-off Caden stopping in our direction, “ Here take it.” He grumbles shoving the envelope into Finn's chest, before he's storming away from me to join the others.
“ Well Queenie, that's two of the three musketeers. Here are the keys to our newest ride, so you can beat that last prick in your man's car. ” He adds the last part loud enough so Reed, who is standing barely an arm's length away, can hear him. I roll my eyes, adjusting my mask to take a drink of water, before climbing behind the wheel. Reed goes to step up to Finn, his hands clenched but before he makes it to us, Finn smirks in his direction, “Good luck babe can't wait to see my girl win.”
And fuck me if Miles doesn't seal the fucking deal with the kiss he steals in that moment. His lips press against my nowexposed ones, my breath stolen as I move my lips in perfect rhythm with his as everything fades away to nothing but us. He tastes like cherries and mint. I groan softly as his tongue dances for dominance with mine, the kiss turning more tongue and teeth before he pulls away with a hungry look and I'm left wet and wanting when he steps away altogether.“ Win and you'll get rewarded with more than just a kiss Little Mama.”
I groan at the loss of his mouth on mine and my now-soaked panties. But before I have a chance to walk away, I'm being spun around once more to Finn's mouth crashing on mine, his lips soft as his beard brushes against my face and mouth as Finn kisses me like a man that's been starved for years and just allowed his first meal. His hands travel down my body, slowly sliding under my ass as he lifts me and carries me to his new car, breaking our kiss with a smirk that has me wanting to say fuck the race and ride the man in front of me instead.
He slides me into the driver's seat and winks at me “ You heard Miles. Win this race and I promise by the end of the night my face will be buried so deep between these thick and luscious thighs, You'll have no choice but to submit to me as I devour you so thoroughly.”
With that image etched in my mind, I almost missed the gun going off, signaling us to start. I cut it close, barely gaining the momentum I needed to overtake Reed's lead.
The speedometer flashes, indicating that I've reached 178 mph and still climbing. Reed is now behind me, unable tocatch up as I activate the nitrous on the dashboard, and the car rockets forward. Reed must have noticed what was happening because he was hitting his gas as well; the blue flames dance behind us as we race side by side. I glance over, and I can't help but think how stunning he is behind the wheel. However, I'm a woman on a mission, and this isn't personal. I press the gas pedal harder, gaining the extra foot I need to ensure my car crosses the finish line first, not his.
The look of surprise that graces his handsome face has me silently pleading that this won't come back to haunt me later. I step toward him and extend my hand, saying with a smirk gracing my lips, “Let's do it again sometime.”
“Next time it won't be for a fucking car or money, I'll be racing for you. Tell your boyfriend that.” With that, he hands me the keys and the envelope with the cash in it. Right before he steps away, he mumbles a quiet ‘Fuck it’ before pulling me against him and kissing me in Infront of everyone, but before Finn and Miles have a chance to step in, he's gone.
Leaving my lips bruised. My mind and heart splintered in six different directions.Fuck. I'm screwed.
Chapter twenty-six
Miles Hernandez
Fuck I kissed Soren.
She kissed me back.
What if I just fucked everything up by doing that?
My mind is a whirlwind of emotions and fears causing my heart to beat erratically in my chest as I look up just in time to see my best friend and the man I've looked at as a brother do the same thing. Oh fuck. That's hot.
Lena comes up to me, sensing the crash I'm no doubt heading to as she leans in a bit to whisper so we can only hear each other “About time you grew some balls and made yourmove, pretty boy. I was honestly doubting you both having feelings for my sister.”
“ How was it obvious to everyone but your damn sister? The woman is impossible sometimes.” I grumble out with slight irritation as I keep my eyes locked on Finn and Soren.
She chuckles, shaking her head, her fading red hair falling in front of her mask as she looks behind us at Finn and Soren no doubt seeing what has my attention still.
“Looks like all you both needed was some jealous men's motivation to make your move. Are you guys scared she will choose them? ”
“ If she did it wouldn't change anything, we'd stay beside her until she told us to leave. She could offer us a grain of attention and she'd have us on our knees praising her for her generosity.”
I close my eyes searching for the right words to assure her younger sister how I truly feel about her and finally settle on the truth, letting it roll from my tongue and be set free.
“I love her, Lenny. No matter how much it'll hurt when she breaks my heart, it'll always be her I come back to.”
She lets out a soft sigh that's muffled by her mask, taking an unwavering step towards me. Her small hand rests on her blade strapped to her hip she slowly slides out and presses the cold metal tip to my chest right above my heart, the sounds around us fading as I wait with quiet anticipation for what she will say.
“If you're lying to me, and doing this to only make Scar's boys jealous, I will cut your heart out and serve it to her on a silver platter. She's been through enough. So you better mean what you say, Understand?”
“I understand and I meant every single word.” My voice comes out a gentle whisper as I step forward and let the tip of the blade press into my skin like a tiny little needle prick.
