“Yes.” He pulls a fist down to his side as he says the word in mock high-approval.
“So go-karting? Fleur does it all the time, along with the dirt bike stuff?” I ask, watching his fingers digging into my calf again.
“Yeah, if you can’t tell, she loves it. Loves getting the crew together. You’ll have a ball. She organises a few through the season at the tracks and finds where the go-karts are close by. Unless we’ve been there before and know it’s a really good track. Then we will sit on the bus for however long it takes. I think she is excited to have you and Sophia join us this season. She’s a great guy’s girl, and she can laugh around with us, but I think she gets sick of our low maturity-level sometimes. Think she needs some girls around to roll her eyes at us and have someone else reply back with,‘These dickheads, right?’” he mimics.
His hands move to my other leg and starts rubbing up my thighs, grazing higher, skimming under the hem of my shorts.
“Whatcha doing there, hotshot?” I borrow Javi’s nickname for Riley.
“Just ensuring you are relaxed and comfortable,” he says, brushing along the front of my panties with the lightest of touches.
I gasp, “I am chaffed. I need some ice on there or something.”
His eyebrow peaks. “Now that’s an idea!”
“No! Not an idea. I don’t want an ice pack down there.”
“Are you sure? Maybe some ice in my mouth going down on you will do the trick?”
My pussy clenches at the thought. “I’m not sure that will actually help in my current state.” My voice is shaky, giving me away.
He raises his eyebrows. “Only one way to find out.”
“Not at all. Oh my goodness, you are…”
“Encouragable? Adorable? Exhausting? It’s okay, I've heard all the praises before.”
“You’re takingexhaustingas a positive?”
“If I don’t, who will?”
Experiencing additional chaffing, I am glad we're taking a cab to the restaurant Javi and Riley organised.
Fuck, my face better not be turning red thinking about what we have been up to the past two days. I look out the window and try to distract myself. Javi and Sophia are meeting us there from the track after some meetings with Rayna that I didn’t need to attend.
“Oh! My parents are coming to visit after the mid-season break.”
“That’ll be fun. Are they excited?”
“Yeah. They've been crazy busy with the farm, but they're happy they can come and spend some time with me. They're coming around my mum’s birthday, so I’ll have to work out what to get her.”
“Might need to think about a nice place to take them. And definitely separate rooms for that track.”
“Aww, we won’t be able to be in the same hotel room? Probably a good call. I might not leave the room,” he says, sliding closer to me in the back of the cab. His hand grazes across the top of my thigh as he leans in and presses a steamy kiss to mylips. My lips open instantly to allow his tongue to entwine with mine. His grip on my thigh moves higher, firmer. I’m grateful my jeans are acting as a barrier to his hands, because I am on fire. My hand moves to his face, fingers entangling in his blond hair as I make my way to the back of his head. The cab stops abruptly and we break apart.
“That’ll be $25,” an unamused voice calls from the front.
Riley smiles at me and reaches for his wallet to pay the cab driver, and I straighten myself up before exiting for the restaurant.
“Lucky we got here now. I was getting too carried away,” Riley announces as he reaches my side. He lays a quick kiss on my cheek and then leads the way, letting me trail behind to catch my breath.
Dinner with Sophia and Javi is going really nice. It’s great to get to know them outside of the paddock and more in a one-on-one setting. The strong connection between Riley and Javi is glaringly obvious.
“…and we rode the mini moto bikes through the drive-thru, fully geared up, and ordered small drinks.” Javi’s voice bellows, met by our synchronised laughter.
“Did you just ride off with the cups or set yourselves up in the car park?” Sophia asks.
“We parked near a few other bikes, walked up to them with straight faces, and banged on about how wild a ride they were.Then revved up, did a wheelie, and took off after finishing our lemonades,” Riley adds.
