Page 95 of Racing Dirty Trilogy Box Set

Nolan

Walking up the staircase, I watch below for a moment.

My team, my family is mulling around, trying to relax.

Christian and Ashton return with several big black bags and begin checking and rechecking our weapons.

Harris, Marks, and Ramirez disappear into the kitchen, and Rush and Ace are talking quietly to each other again.

That puts my senses on alert, but I’ll deal with that later. Right now, I just want to find my girl.

Satisfied my team will be ready, I turn and walk up another set of stairs that lead onto the rooftop.

Sitting in a wrought iron chair with a huge fluffy white cushion, I find Ashley.

She has her legs curled underneath her, watching the sun rise over the rooftop.

Xavier and Mia are sitting on a matching couch and there’s a coffee table separating them.

Xavier has his head down, resting his elbows on his knees.

Mia is rubbing his back soothingly. Ashley is the first to notice me standing in the doorway and a smile lights her face.

She motions for me to come over with a flick of her head and I walk outside.

“How’s it going down there?” Ashley asks.

“Good, we’re all set for tonight. We need to get some rest and regroup.

Ace is bringing in a few of his men and together we’ll get Izzy and Redline back.

The plan should work as long as everyone does what they’re supposed to do.

” I stare at Xavier as I speak the last part.

His head snaps up and there are tears in his eyes again.

He wipes them away and an understanding passes between us.

“X, I’m sorry I came down hard on you earlier.

I can’t let you go off and get yourself killed.

I need you with me tonight. If we go in right now, it’ll only put Izzy in jeopardy.

I understand you want action now because you’ve been idle for so long, but it will come.

I promise. You’ll be with me on the front line.

If we go now, we won’t have the element of surprise on our side.

We must penetrate the warehouse at the same time the drop goes down.

Switch and Wrath will be busy with that and have some half-ass goons watching them. It’s our best shot.”

“I know, and Ashley is very persuasive. I lost my head for a minute. I promise I won’t go off and do something stupid. I’m with you.” Xavier stands up and stretches. “I’m going to go and see if I can help with something. Thank you, Nolan, for everything.”

“Don’t thank me. None of this would have happened to you if you didn’t know me. It’s my fault you’re put in this situation and I promise these fuckers are going to pay.”

“It’s not your fault. You didn’t choose to kidnap us. They did. Let’s focus on that and stop feeling guilty for something that’s beyond your control.” Xavier gives me a bro hug and they head back inside. It’s now just Ashley and me up here.

I walk to the edge of the roof and overlook the bustling city below.

Ashley approaches me from behind and wraps her arms around my waist, leaning her front to my back.

I can feel her soft curves against me and my dick takes notice.

Turning around, I pull Ashley into my arms and hold her tight, burying my nose in her hair.

Her heart is beating hard against her chest and her breath hitches.

She picks her head up from my chest and peers into my eyes.

No words are needed between us as my lips descend upon hers in a quick motion.

She parts for my probing tongue and I kiss her with built-up passion and tension.

She returns the kiss, our tongues battling back and forth.

I squeeze her perfectly round ass and lift her.

I break our passionate kiss and walk with her still wrapped around me to the doors leading outside.

I close the door with my foot and offer her a devilish smirk.

She knows what I’m about to do and the fire is reflecting from her eyes.

Ashley yanks her hoodie and shirt over her head while trusting me to hang onto her.

“I bet you’re soaking wet for me right now,” I groan.

She arches into my touch and that fuels me more.

I navigate my way back to the couch and lay her down on it.

I watch her lust-filled eyes as she squirms under my smoldering gaze.

Yanking my hoodie and shirt over my head, I toss them behind me and crawl my way up Ashley’s body.

I kiss and lick her stomach while my fingers quickly pop the button on her jeans and pull the zipper down slowly, the sound of the teeth pulling apart sets my skin on fire until I have the zipper all the way down.

Ashley lifts her hips and helps me pull off her jeans and tiny underwear she insists on wearing.

I toss them behind me to the growing pile of clothes.

I unzip and remove my jeans and boxers and toss them behind me, too.

Ashley’s biting her bottom lip, her brown eyes are dark with desire, watching me.

My heart beats hard against my chest as I drape my body over hers.

She spreads her legs wide for my massive frame.

My mouth collides with hers as she arches her back, seeking what I’m offering.

“What do you want Ash?” I ask, my deep tone vibrating against her lips. She can’t complete a sentence with as high as I’m bringing her and it turns me on that this strong, independent woman is mush under my hands.

“You, I want you,” she groans and digs her nails into my back, pushing me closer to her body.

Done with foreplay, I give my girl what she wants.

Her breath hitches in her throat and a moan passes through her lips.

I can’t contain myself as the sweat beads down my back and my blood stokes with fire from what this woman does.

The push and pull of our sweaty bodies, the grunts and groans, the smell of sex and the warm spring sun is too much for me to handle.

As Ashley finds her release, bucking, squeezing, and moaning my name.

I tighten my grip on her hips and find my own release.

Out of breath, I release my death grip on her hips and almost fall off the little couch we’re on. Ashley tries to stifle her giggle at the way my body is reacting, and I glare at her, jokingly.

“Watch it, woman, I still have you pinned down.” I tease and suck on the side of her neck. Her giggles turn to moans and I feel myself getting hard again. This time around, I’m gentle with her as she scratches her nails up and down my back, urging me to move faster.

We make love until the sun peeks over the rooftop, casting Ashley in a heavenly glow. My angel, the light in a world of darkness. One look from her honey-brown eyes and I’m spent. I’ll do whatever, whenever she asks. I’m not afraid to admit she’s my weakness and strength all in one tiny package.

A few hours later, I’m awakened by a knock on the bedroom door.

Sitting up, I look around, trying to figure out how I got here.

Memories of the rooftop with Ashley flash in my head and I can’t help but smile.

After we made love one more time, I carried her quickly into the bedroom and we fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms. Her warm soft body curled around mine, holding onto me as if her life depended on it.

I cast a glance at her side of the bed and Ashley isn’t here.

Panic consumes me. Where did she go? What happened?

Another loud knock on the door draws my attention to it and I get up.

I hear the shower running in the attached bathroom and stick my head inside the door.

Relieved it’s Ashley in the shower, I turn back around and throw on a pair of jeans.

Leaving them unbuttoned, I yank the door open before the intruder knocks again and come face to face with Ace.

His light brown eyes are accessing me, carefully. I open the door and he walks into the room. His body is ridged, and his eyes are watching everything at once. “Ace is everything all right?” I ask.

“No, it’s not. Your boy is going to get us all killed if he doesn’t straighten his shit up,” Ace growls and sits on the big white chair in the corner of the room.

“What are you talking about?”

“Xavier, he’s gonna lose his head and get us all killed. He won’t shut up about payback and vengeance. Nolan, I’m telling you, man, if you can’t get him lassoed in, me and my guys are out. I won’t put my men in jeopardy because he can’t get his shit together.”

“I’ll handle it,” Ashley says from the bathroom doorway, startling both of us.

She’s dressed, and her long blonde hair is up in a tight ponytail.

She walks across the room and stands in front of Ace.

“Don’t worry about Xavier, I will handle him and put a tight leash on him. He won’t do anything stupid.”

“How can you be so sure?” Ace asks a look of doubt passes his face.

“Because I know how to handle guys like Xavier. I’m not just a pretty face, Ace.

I’ll guarantee he won’t step out of line because if he does, I’ll be the one to dish out the consequence.

Not you or Nolan or anyone else. I run a tight ship, and no one will double-cross me.

The last person who tried ended up dead.

” Ashley tells Ace with a no-bullshit attitude.

“And that goes for you too, Ace. Don’t double-cross me or anyone else here.

” She crosses her arms over her chest and stands tall.

“I’m not planning on it. I have a daughter to think of and if we don’t stop these guys, she’ll never have a chance at a normal life.” He stands up quickly offering me a small nod and leaves the room.

“I don’t know what to say,” I turn toward Ashley.
