Page 4 of Dare You to Catch Me
This is what I was born to do.
Trying to keep my heart calm as I come to the first turn, dropping a gear, slightly pulling my e brake, my car turns sideways just how I want her as we coast around the turn. The nose hanging the mountain side, and the rear, clinging to the road just grazing the cliff's edge. The other car tries to make moves as we come up the straight aways but he's got nothing against me tonight. I pull away from him, as I weave up the mountain then start my way down. My car slides just a little too much, giving him the perfect opportunity to slide past me in the turn, but it isn't given easily. I fight for the lead again, taking our last turn, I take it a little faster than normal, bringing my car close, almost touching the other car as we both drift around the turn side by side. I slam another gear, and beauty screams as she leaves him in the dust, flying down the straight away and over the finish line. Pressing in the clutch, I pull up on my e brake, swinging my car around into a skidding stop.
What a fucking ride!
I'm so fucking pumped right now, I can barely contain my adrenaline as it courses through my veins. I leave my car running, knowing my time will quickly come to leave, I step out as Zee reaches his hand out with my 20K, my winnings for tonight. “That's what I'm talking about, girl. You're going to the big race!”
A woman of few words when I finish racing, probably because my jaw chatters from the high I'm on which makes me antsy. I smile up at him, when my eyes notice Ace walking towards me.
“You know the drill, get out of here.” Zee reminds me and I give him the nod of understanding before he walks away. This rush is always short lived, knowing the cops will soon come. I can't get caught, it will cause so many problems for the casinos,and my father.
Ace gets to my side, he asks. “How did you learn how to drive like that?” Raising a brow with a playful smirk. “Wouldn't you like to know.”
“EMMA, GET OUT OF HERE. COPS!” Zee yells and my eyes fly up, seeing the flashing lights, now hearing the sirens and how close they are.
“Fuck, Ace we have to get out of here.” I reach for my door handle and Ace reaches out, wrapping his hand around my wrist.
“Answer my question.” He growls.
My psychotic giggle dangerously escapes as my lip sucks in between my teeth and my eyes seductively looking into his.. “You wanna know? Then Catch me, if you can.” I drop down into my car, looking over watching Ace running to his car, everything in a panic around us, cars peeling out, people scattering. My tires squeal as I peel out of there, heading in the opposite direction that everyone else is and away from the cops. Fucking idiots are going to get caught packing up like that. I shake my head, shifting to the next gear, heading into the darkness of the mountain once more, to a spot I know is safe to hide. Looking in the rearview mirror, headlights appear, and I play it cool for a moment, until I realize it's Ace, and my foot stomps down on thegas pedal.
ACE
Trailing behind her as she zips up this mountain, maneuvering her car perfectly around these dangerously tight turns. This girl is my business partner, but not only that, she's Charles' daughter, Heiress to his empire.
From what Caz was able to gather on her, she hasn't been involved in the world I've grown up in, she knows how it goes and knows about it, but the depths of it. Charles kept her from it, but I don't understand why. She's an important girl, and another boss will come to claim her and her throne, which means my business as well.
I can’t let that happen.
I don't know if I'm more shocked by her skills, or if it's just turning me the fuck on. I'm impressed, that's for sure, but she's got my dick throbbing in my pants with her Catch Me shit. Baby Girl, you want me to chase you, alright, I'll chase you but when I catch you, youbetter be ready.
EMMA
Maneuvering up the mountain, the red and blue lights reflect off the mountain side, Ace trailing closely behind, causing me to smile to myself. At least he knows how to drive, I'm impressed, but what will he do when we go lights out? I flip my lights off, nothing but dark roads ahead of me but my eyes quickly adjust as soon as Ace catches on to what I am doing, he flicks his off as well.
After a few more turns, only the moon lighting the path in front of me, coming to a pull off, that dips into the forest. Pushing my clutch in, shifting my car to neutral, shutting her off as I let her coast to a stop, not hitting the brakes. Don't want those pigs to see my lights, light up like a christmas tree and give my spot away. Ensuring my interior lights are off as well, completely black out mode, I open my door and step out.
Watching the silhouette of Ace's body getting closer, along with the smell of his cologne getting stronger with each step he takes causes my belly to bubble.
When he reaches me, he's close, very close, coming into my dark vision. Our eyes meet and I swear, I'm looking into glacier water with his crystal blue eyes. His deep voice escapes his lips. “Care to explain what the fuck I just witnessed?”
I giggle quietly with a huff. “My grandfather taught me how to drive. Why, Impressed?”
He chuckles in a deep dangerous way that causes my nipples to harden. “More than impressed, but what I don't get.” He leans in, his voice softer, quieter. “You haven't been shown the ways of a Heiress, but yet, I get the feeling you have?”
I cock a brow, knowing he's right in a way. My father has kept me in the dark, of my requirements, or even training me to protect myself in this world, but Pop didn't.
He taught me everything I needed to know and trained me to protect myself, knowing that one day I would need to.
“I know what I need to know, but how do you know anything about me?” I hiss.
A deep chuckle rolls from his throat.
“Nevermind.” I sigh. Realizing that was a stupid question, he's mafia, powerful and has resources to find out anything he wants.
I feel his large hand wrap around my jaw, cupping my face in his hand, his thumb brushes over my cheek causing my breath to catch in my mouth.
What the fuck is happening right now.
