Page 54 of Dare You to Catch Me
With Ace's hand resting on the small of my back we head down the hallway to the garage and my antsy anticipation rockets through my veins. I'm excited of course to drive, I don't think I could get there fast enough.
“Baby Girl, I know you're getting used to Bear and I have told him to calm the fuck down; but he is who he is and he is very open. There are no boundaries with him. He's going to check you out, take it as a compliment; I mean it is really hard to keep my dick in my pants when I look at you, and you've done that since day one. When you walk around with your sexy little dresses and lingerie, it's hard not to fucking look. I promise you, Bear would never take advantage or hurt you.” He stops me, turning me towards him. “Just ignore him. You two will understand each other better soon, and Baby Girl, you will see Bear has had a very similar life as you.”
“That's fine, but he needs to know his place. I won't have a right hand man show you or I disrespect.”
“He's not. I promise, he's not. It's just him.”
“Alright. I'll try to behave.”
“Good girl.”
“Can we make a pit stop? I would like to wish Daddy dearest good night.”
He lifts a brow as that Devilish smile twists from his lips. “Of course, but don't ruin your outfit baby, it's looking too good to change.” I shake my head as a quiet giggle slips.
We make a right turn, entering the hallway leading us to the Chambers and I take a deep breath, just wanting to let go of a little frustration real quick.
When we reach the chambers I walk in and meet my fathers gaze, that dangerous smirk twisting from my lips but I stay quiet. He's looking pretty rough, white as a ghost, his face swollen from earlier with the dried blood on his face.
I wrap my hands around the bat that I used earlier. I grip the bat tightly before I swing it across my fathers stomach, ripping an agonizing groan from his throat as his head falls forward.
“Good night daddy dearest, sleep tight.” I drop the bat before I turn and walk from the room. Just like that, I felt some frustration, then went and released it. I fucking controlled it, and I feel like I am on some sort of high.
Making my way down the hallway to the garage the excitement overwhelms me as my heart beats faster the closer I get; I've missed my car. I've really missed my car.
Ace opens the door in front of me, entering the garage and my heart bursts as soon as my eyes land on my car.Thank fucking god; my car, my beauty.
Oh yes, a little sentimental over a car, but that car means theworld to me and to have her in my vision again, the lump in my throat sticks hard.
“Your keys.” Bear hands me my keys which brings a smile to twist from my lips as big as the sun. “Thank you.” I say playfully as I pluck the keys from his hand and walk over to my car, walking around her checking to make sure she is in the same condition she was in when I last saw her. And she is, so I open the door and step a foot into my car, then I turn and look over at Ace and Bear as they watch me intently. “Are we going or sitting here all night?” I slide down into my car and press the break then press in the clutch and start my beauty up.
As always, she roars to life and I am home. I can breathe, my body instantly relaxes into the seat; Fuck I've missed this.
I roll my window down and look over at Ace as he watches me with a smile on his face, before he steps over next to my car, leaning down. “There's that smile I've missed.” My eyes flutter and my smile gets bigger. He leans in and presses his lips to mine before he pulls back. “Let's go have some fun, baby.”
He stands to his full height then walks to his car, I watch him drop down into his car all fucking sexy looking then my eyes scan his car, his car from Russia.
It's nice that's for sure, blacked out like mine, and to be honest I'm not really sure what exactly it is, it looks custom built, the way she sounds when he starts her up, she sounds wicked.
I bit my lip, finding this extremely hot, seeing Ace's car he raced, what he has yet to really talk to me about. My legs squeeze together, calming that arousal between my legs, before I pry my eyes from his car, and put my car into gear and pull from the garage.
I stop once Ace and Bear pull from the garage. Ace pulls up next to me and rolls his window down. “Are you ready?”
I huff a giggle as my hand wraps around the gear shifter, putting her in first, before I say. “Catch me if you can, baby.”
Chapter twenty-three
EMMA
After peeling wheels from the driveway, I zip through the city streets with Ace and Bear trailing behind me. I feel like I did the first time Pop let me drive this car. Accelerated, in my happy place, as I listen to music and my hand hangs out the window.God I feel good.
Looking in my rear view mirror I see Ace and Bear goofing off behind me, which causes me to shake my head with my smile.Fucking boys.
I am really loving this side of Ace and I hope we get to share more of our race car games together along with what a future could hold for us as maybe a family. Of course that would be expected of us, but we have not talked about it; I guess we really haven't had the time.
Feeling parched I get an idea, and make a sharp turn right, heading to quench my thirst. I laugh to myself, watching Ace and Bear almost miss the turn due to them not paying attention and then my phone rings. And of course it's Ace, so I hit the button on my dash screen, and answer playfully. “Yessss…”
“Where are you going?”
