In their garage, I can go into the offices and rooms they have, where there are no cameras. Being able to experience this alongside his family is a bonus.

When Luke makes his way around the track and is done with his weigh-out, he jumps into the awaiting arms of his pit crew.

I’m so proud of him. This will further strengthen his championship lead.

When he’s done celebrating with his team, he comes straight towards me, and I meet him halfway, throwing my arms around him as he lifts me up.

“You did it, baby, I’m so proud of you!” I tell him, and even though he’s still wearing his helmet, I kiss the part that covers his chin.

In this moment, it feels like it’s just the two of us.

“Thank you, princess. I had to bring my a-game with the family in town and everything.” I roll my eyes at him, knowing he always brings his A-game, no matter who’s in town.

“Go get your trophy, hotshot,” I tell him as I send him on his way to receive the celebrations he deserves.

Chapter 41

LUKE

“Fuck Jessica, that feels amazing.” My hands are in her hair as she sucks my cock, giving me the best wake-up call ever. I come in her mouth, and she swallows every drop before giving me a sinful smile.

“Happy birthday, hotshot.” I know this birthday will be better than all the ones before, simply because of the woman in my arms.

“Thank you, baby girl. I’m already a very happy birthday boy.” I tickle her sides, and she jumps out of the bed.

“Get back here.” I say as she grabs her robe, slipping it on before disappearing out of our room with a “be right back” thrown my way.

We’ve arrived in Belgium for the upcoming race weekend in Spa.

We have a few days before the weekend spectacle begins, and Jessica is set for a full day of birthday festivities.

I had an intimate celebration with my parents, Lily, Robert, and Jessica last weekend in England, so I told Jessica she didn’t have to plan anything, but something tells me she’s got something up her sleeve anyway.

Jessica comes back, holding two small packages. She sits down on the edge of the bed before she hands the first package over.

“It’s not anything big, but finding anything for a man who has everything isn’t the easiest task.” I start unwrapping the present, and Jessica watches me whilst biting her lip. Inside, I first find a small toy chef figure, then a small rolled-up paper held up by the figure. I unroll the paper and find an exclusive couples’ baking experience for Jessica and me to enjoy while we’re in Belgium.

Her thoughtful gift, knowing I don’t have as much time to bake as I used to, gives us an experience we can enjoy together.

We’ve baked several times on the road, which usually leads us to a messy fuck in the kitchen and no pastries actually being completed, but we have a blast every time.

I bring my arm around her back and drag her towards me, giving her a deep kiss.

“It’s perfect, baby. Thank you.” She smiles at me before handing me her other gift. I unwrap the present and discover a jewellery box inside.

The box contains a silver necklace that resembles an ID plaque, but instead of my initials, it’s engraved with a silhouette of me in my racing suit, cheering after a race. The motive is small,but I can tell it’s me in the picture, seeing my race suit, helmet, and race number, 27, on the back of my helmet.

“Jessica, this is perfect.” I turn it over and find a small message written vertically on the backside.

—From your princess

The message makes me smile.

When we first met, Jessica insisted I shouldn’t call her princess, and she got aggravated by the nickname.

Now, the nickname is a favourite. I put the necklace on the nightstand before I drag her across my body.

“You’re perfect. Thank you for the thoughtful gifts, princess. Now the birthday boy wants to eat.” She kisses my cheek before trying to stand up from the bed.
