Page 26 of Racing Dirty Trilogy Box Set

Xavier’s gaze locks onto mine as he answers.

“Well Joe, I’d say it’s because the love of my life came back.

She makes me want to be a better person and she supports me to be a strong racer.

Knowing she is here watching me gives me a bigger push to drive faster, drive harder, and not give up.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and get her.

" The crowd cheers as Xavier walks away from the announcer and toward me.

There is a glint of passion in his eyes when he reaches me, and I sigh.

The announcer continues, his voice is a distant memory as Xavier kisses me.

“Well, race fans, the winner of our Super Late Model UMP class again tonight, Xavier Sweeney. Let’s give him another round of applause.

" Cheers and catcalls erupt from the stands.

Xavier breaks the kiss, leaving me breathless and wanting more.

He smiles at me, his dimple making an appearance.

“Ready to go home?" He asks.

Words won’t form in my brain as he takes my hand and we walk to the side of his car. He poses for a few pictures and then pulls me into one and I stand in front of him, smiling for the camera.

When the photographer’s finished, Xavier picks me up and carries me over to the passenger side of his car. He sets me inside and kisses me again. I whimper into his mouth at the onslaught of his tongue. Xavier barely pulls away and he shudders.

“Woman, we’re not going to make it home if you keep making noises like that,” he chuckles. His hot breath fanning against my lips.

“I’m good with that,” I reply.

Xavier pulls away and walks around the front of his car. I lick my lips as I watch his muscles tense up with passion. He never takes his eyes from me until he climbs into the car.

Feeling bold, I grope him as he slides into the window. My move makes him pause for a minute when he settles in his seat. He lets out a harsh groan and covers my hand with his, halting my movements.

“B, with as good as that feels, I can’t get you home and under me, if you keep doing that.” His voice is husky with need.

I shudder. “So, get driving, X." He starts his car and drives into the pits. I climb out when he reaches the trailer, so he can pull his car in. Nolan and Christian are inside the trailer, waiting for him to pull in and I walk over to Mia standing in front of the trailer.

“Hey, what are your plans for tonight?" I ask her. We walk over to the side of the trailer and I open the storage box. I take my jumper off and fold it up to put it inside.

“I think I’m taking Christian home. We’re going to get a drink when we leave here first, but who knows? The man can’t keep his hands off me and let me tell you, he knows what he’s doing with his tongue,” Mia answers with a sigh.

“Just be careful. I know you’re looking for love girl, but please don’t do anything rash,” I plead with her.

“Yeah, I know. I just feel special with him. He doesn’t judge me and seems to accept me for who I am. I’ve been crazy all night. Cheering you and Xavier on, and he didn’t hold me back or make me stop. If anything, he was just as into the races as I was."

“That’s good Mia, it’s what you need but please just be careful.” I hug her.

Mia has had bad experiences with men. She can’t seem to find a good one that sticks around. When she gives her heart to someone, they always crush it.

The last guy she was with crushed not only her heart but also tried to crush her spirit.

I felt bad when she called me, sobbing on the phone and I couldn’t be there for her to hold her, soothe her during her time of need.

Being a thousand miles away, all I could do was talk to her and help her through it on the phone.

We stayed up for hours and I will never leave her again.

She needs me just as much as I need her.

Xavier approaches us having our moment, his eyebrow raised, as I wipe a tear from my eye. He wraps his arms around my waist, kissing my neck.

“Ready to go?" Xavier asks.

“Yeah, I’m more than ready. I have to do something first though,” I answer.

I walk away from Xavier and approach Christian. “Can I have a word with you?"

Christian nods his head and we walk away from the trailer. Xavier’s eyes are burning into my back, watching us. I turn to Christian when we’re away from everyone. It’s time to play the BFF card. Mia is falling hard and fast in just a few short hours.

“Listen up. I know you’re an officer of the law, but I know nothing about you personally.

That girl,” I say pointing to Mia. “Has been through too much to be strung along. If you aren’t in it with her full force, I suggest you let her down gently, or not only will you have Nolan and Xavier to deal with, but you will also deal with me.

I might be sweet, but if you fuck with my best friend, sweet goes out the window and you get the crazy bitch side. "

Christian clears his throat. “I don’t know where this is going with Mia.

I really like her, but I don’t know where we will end up.

She makes me smile. I haven’t smiled or laughed this much in a long time.

In my line of work, I’ve seen so many horrible, unexplainable things out there, it’s nice to just be able to let go and not worry.

It’s hard to describe the way she makes me feel.

" I step closer to Christian, looking him dead in the eyes.

“Christian, all I have to say is don’t play mind fuck games with her. She loves quickly, and she protects those she cherishes."

Watching him struggle for words, I turn and walk back to Xavier. Christian goes over to Mia, putting an arm around her shoulders.

“Ok, now I’m ready,” I tell Xavier.

“Everything ok?" he asks, dipping his head in Mia and Christian’s direction.

“Yeah, everything is good. I just had to warn him that if he is playing games, my crazy bitch will come out and he won’t like it,” I answer, shrugging my shoulders.

“He will learn soon enough not to fuck with my woman’s best friend if he is playing games." Xavier laughs as he brings me closer to him.

“Say that again.” A shiver wracks my body when he said that. He raises an eyebrow, “Say what?" he teases.

He knows what I want him to say, so I sweat him in his hard stomach. He lets out a grunt and laughs. He brings his lips to my ear creating another shiver down my spine.

“My woman,” Xavier whispers. My body breaks out with goosebumps and I let out a groan.

“I love you, X,” I say against his lips.

“I love you too, B." He kisses me hard, taking my breath away. We break apart from the kiss. My breathing is shallow and erratic. A dull throbbing is between my legs and I can’t wait to get him home. We say goodbye to Nolan, Christian, and Mia. I give Christian my best glare. He’s got my point.

We make it to Xavier’s house and barely through the door when Xavier rips my clothes off. We make love all night long, passion and adrenaline pouring from our bodies. Rough and fast, sweet and slow, making up for years of being apart.
