Page 59 of Racing Dirty Trilogy Box Set

Nolan

I’m startled awake by the buzz of a cell phone.

My mind is foggy as I slap my hand on the nightstand next to my head.

My phone crashes to the ground and the buzzing finally stops.

I turn onto my left side and wrap my arms around Ashley’s sleeping form, pulling her tighter against me.

We’re in the room Natalia gave to us when we all went back to her place.

After everything Ashley’s been through the last few days, she’s still my light in the darkness that’s closing in on me.

I still haven’t revealed everything in my past to her. Eventually, I will, but right now I need to savor this moment. I want to relish the way she looks at me like I’m her everything. The love in her eyes will change to disgust or pity and I’m not ready for that yet.

My phone chimes with a voicemail, but I ignore it as I bury my nose in Ashley’s hair, inhaling her strawberry essence.

I’m painfully hard as she brushes her ass against me in her sleep.

I run my hands down her stomach and play with the band of her shorts.

She whimpers and nestles closer. I kiss the side of her throat, my free hand drifting down further.

My favorite place to be. She rolls over and spreads her legs.

I kiss and lick the outer edge of her ear, knowing it’s driving her nuts.

Ashley’s honey-brown eyes open, meeting mine. She smiles at me and rests her hands on the stubble growing on my jaw. “Good morning,” she whispers. Her voice is husky, sending chills down my spine.

“Morning, beautiful.”

I lean in and explore her mouth with my tongue, caressing every inch she gives me. Our tongues battle for dominance as I grind my hips into her. Her fingers run through my hair tugging me harder against her.

“Fuck,” I growl.

I’m already naked, preferring to sleep this way when I have Ashley next to me. I grasp her legs, spreading them wide open for me. I run my eyes up her perfect body until I lock onto her light brown ones. Desire flows through my body as her long dark lashes cover her eyes, hooded with desire.

I grip my shaft and she watches me, licking her lips. “Is this what you want?” I ask.

“God, yes. Quit teasing me,” she growls out.

Every thought or worry disappears as I bury myself deep inside of her. I lean back down and cover her with my body. We’re chest to chest, skin against skin.

“God, you feel so good,” I hiss through clenched teeth. Fire rips through my spine as I find my own. Breathing heavily, I stop moving and hold myself up with my elbows. Not ready to leave the warmth of her body just yet.

“You’re going to spoil me,” Ashley giggles.

“Can’t help it. When your ass rubs against my dick, he kind of takes over.

” I roll off her and watch as she gets up from the bed.

With a groan, I sit up and swing my legs over the side.

I find my phone and check to see who called.

Xavier’s name flashes across my screen and I hit the voicemail button.

“Hey, Nolan. I’m just calling to check on you guys.

I haven’t heard from you and wanted to make sure everything is all right.

” There’s a hesitation before he continues.

“Look, I’m sorry we took off the way we did.

Something came up, and we had to leave. I can’t explain it right now.

But I will soon. Just take care, watch your back, and I’ll talk to you soon.

” I replay his voicemail as Ashley comes out of the bathroom.

There’s something off in Xavier’s voice and I can’t put my finger on it.

“Who’s that?” Ashley asks, sitting on the bed next to me.

“X, he called to see how we’re all doing, but something sounds off. I don’t know. Maybe I’m being paranoid.”

“Do you want me to call Izzy?”

“Nah, I’ll talk to him when I head back home in a few days.”

“I don’t want you to go,” she says, resting her head on my shoulder.

“I know. I don’t want to either, but I have to tie up loose ends before we make the move out here.”

“Are you sure you want to do this? It’s a big step.” Ashley asks.

I wrap my arm around her bare shoulder, pulling her against me.

I kiss her on top of her head. “More than sure. Wherever you are, so am I. After everything that’s happened, you can’t leave.

Your family needs you here and the only thing I have back in Michigan is Xavier and Izzy.

Maybe they’ll move out here too. Who knows? ”

“I'll miss you while you’re gone.” There's a sadness in her voice that breaks my heart.

“I'll miss you too. It’ll only be for a couple of months, maybe less.” I reassure her.

There’s a knock on our door and we both get dressed quickly.

She has on a pair of dark blue jeans and a blue tank top over a white one.

I put on a pair of jeans and a black shirt.

I open the door and come face to face with Ashton.

There’s a darkness in his eyes I’ve only seen a few times, and this can’t be good.

“We have a lead on Marcus,” Ashton says.

“Good, we’ll take care of it from here. I don’t want you guys involved in what’s going down. Keep it quiet and no one besides the three of us and Ian knows what I’m about to do.” I tell Ashton.

“Got it.”

I walk back into Ashley’s bedroom and pick up her phone. I hand it to her, “It’s show time.”
