“I’ve got to work out with Dane, then got lunch with my dad and the team.”
“Do you want me there?”
“Up to you, maybe see what Anaïs is doing? You can grab a bite to eat, perhaps.”
“Okay,” she replies, her voice small.
“You’re welcome,” I back track, “but it’ll probably be boring and I think we need to focus more on race research. You need to be able to hit the nail on the head with details.”
She nods, her fingers tapping her keyboard.
“Be nice for you to see a bit of Monaco too, so maybe this evening… well, how about I take you to dinner?”
Her eyes light up. “That would be lovely.” She sighs and there’s that fucking smile I have come to love.
“I would have suggested we go on my dad’s yacht, but he lost it in some bet.”
“Oh.” Her brows furrow.
“He isn’t a gambler. Some shit about him and Anaïs.” I swallow. “But I can have a chat with Luke, and I can see if I can use his.”
“That would be awesome. Maybe I can write a spicy scene on a boat.”
“Maybe.” I chuckle and my cock stirs. “I’m erm, I’m going to hit the shower.”
“But you’re working out?” She looks at me confused as I back away.
“Yeah, I know, but I’ve not showered since last night and well, you know.” I don’t wait around for her to respond, just kick the bedroom door shut and strip myself down.
Padding into the bathroom, I turn the shower on and let the hot water kick in before stepping under the stream. My cock is hard, and I know I need to relieve myself. This is becoming a problem. My dick is sore from how much I wank over her.
I shouldn’t have touched her. Now, I know how it feels like. Before, I fantasised and it was enough… but to know exactly how she feels…
It’s a cheap thrill, just enough to appease my appetite. Not enough to stop the craving. After a wank or two, I am dressed in my shorts and vest. I sigh, swiping my phone from the bedand see too many messages from Rue. I ignore them. Clicking on Dane’s name, I call him and check that he is ready for me.
Walking into where she is sitting, I spot she is lost in her work, and I just stare at for a moment.
“I’ll be back in an hour or so,” I call out.
She waves me off and I fear we have fallen into the friend zone. She is too comfortable with me. Maybe I needed to put some distance between us.
Closing the door, I find Dane and let him work me hard. I need distraction. Athena is consuming me whole. Once I’m finished, my chest aches, my arms are tired, and I’m sweating. Dane gives me a ten-minute break before we moved onto neck exercises.
Grabbing my phone, I text Nora.

Hey, I think for next race weekend, book me and Athena separate rooms x
She reads it straight away.
Nora
What have you done?
I scoff.
