I shrug. “Anything for you. Besides I need to do something aside from hanging out at home and working. Who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky and meet a guy,” Kenndrix laughs. “What?”

“Dressed like that I have no doubt you will find a guy while making Ace kick himself in the ass.”

Kenndrix hasn’t brought up Ace since I told her what had happened the day after our kiss. She knows me well enough to know I don’t really want to talk about it, but I know it worries her. I have caught her watching me closely. She knows the incident with him has messed with my head but I’m not that fragile anymore. Now I have to worry about coming up with a response to her comment, we are pulling into the parking lot of the track. I grab my lipstick and re-apply it then add an extra coat of eyeliner before slipping my sunglasses back on.

Stepping out of the car I readjust my black leather short romper that basically has no back. You can see a glimpse of my tattoo every now and then. I toss my hair to the other side and Kenndrix slips her arm through mine while crossing the lot to the track. Pierce, Ace, and the rest of the James brothers are easy to spot once we make it to the seating area. I feel Ace’s eyes on me as we approach them.

“Hey ladies!” Bowie, Ace’s older brother greets us as we approach. I take a seat in front of Bowie and he lets out a low whistle as I do. “Damn girl, your killing it.”

I laugh and glance back over my shoulder. “As opposed to every other day.”

“Touché,” He leans forward and whispers into my ear, “So when are you going to come watchmerace?”

I give him a smirk while staring ahead. “I guess when you actually ask me to come watch you.”

I can still feel Ace’s eyes on us, but I have to remind myself not to look in his direction. He doesn’t deserve my attention.

“Well, consider this your official invitation to come watch me this weekend baby.”

I turned around to face Bowie for a minute. “I’ll think about it.”

Bowie laughs, a deep, hearty laugh. “How will I know your answer?”

I shrug. “I guess rather or not you see me there.” I turn back around and face the races. Kenndrix is trying hard not to laugh at me right now. She nudges my side with her elbow. We sit through half the first round of races before Jaxx gets to race. By the time his race is done I was dying of thirst, so I ask Kenndrix if she wants anything before I make my way to the snack bar. I’m checking my phone when I feel someone take the spot behind me in line. The spicy smell of his cologne hits me and I don’t even have to turn around to know its Ace.

“So, you and my brother now?” he asks, while leaning down a little so not everyone around us can hear our conversation. I’m not even going to answer that. “So, what? Now you’re not speaking to me?” I step forward and order two waters but before I can hand the clerk the money Kenndrix has given me Ace says, “Make that three” while handing the clerk the money. I roll my eyes which he can’t tell from behind my shades and grab two of the water bottles before turning and heading back toward the stands.

I’m half way there when I feel Ace’s hand close around my upper arm. He starts to lead me in the opposite direction, back toward the parking lot. At first, I’m so shocked I don’t say or do anything. Once my brain finally wakes up I yank my arm from his grip. “What the hell are you doing?”

Ace

Kynlee had walked right past me and never looked my way. She had sat less than a foot away from me and had managed to completely ignore me and it was driving me insane. Now, she’s going to just walk away from me and continue to ignore me, the hell she was. Before I could even think about what I was doing and why I shouldn’t be doing it, I had grabbed her arm and pulled her back toward the parking lot. Kynlee yanks her arm free from my grip which woke me up from my jealous trance. What am I doing?

“I don’t get you Ace,” Kynlee says, shaking her head while turning around to head back toward the stands.

Even though there are so many reasons why I should just let her go, I can’t just let her walk away. “I don’t do relationships Kynlee, I don’t do attachments or feelings or any of that other stuff girls want.”

Kynlee turns around and pushes her shades onto the top of her hair. “I never asked you for a relationship or anything else. Yes, I think you’re hot and yes, we kissed, but that doesn’t mean I want anything more with you. We’re both young so, to be honest the last thing I want is some serious relationship to worry about while trying to get my career going.”

I stand there frozen, everything Kynlee has just told me stuns me to my core. She isn’t asking for anything more. She’d be fine with us just being whatever or just having a little fun. I stand there and study her. I would give anything to get lost in her for a few hours a few times a week, but the question was would I be able to keep everything in check? I had already decided that being around Kynlee was dangerous because she brought up a lot of things I tried to keep buried. A breeze picks up and I watch as her hair dances around her face and those brown eyes bore into me and in that moment, I decide to throw all the caution to the wind. Closing the distance between us I pull her against me while crushing her mouth to mine. A small moan escapes from Kynlee and it’s my undoing. I take her hand and pull her toward my car.

I open the door and push the front seat forward. Kynlee crawls into the backseat. I climb in behind her and pull the door shut, thankful for the dark tint on my windows. As soon as I sit down, I pull Kynlee to me. She straddles my lap easily while I begin to kiss down her neck.

The car has fallen silent now with the exception of our breathing. Her head is resting on my shoulder and her scent is all I can smell. I turn my head and press a kiss to her forehead while taking a moment to realize that nothing has ever felt this good before and I doubt anything ever will again.

****

We get dressed in silence, but I reach over and button the halter at the back of her neck then lean forward and press a kiss between her exposed shoulder blades. I just made the biggest mistake of my life because there’s no way I’ll ever get enough of her. I’m addicted to Kynlee, she’s going to own me and there is no fighting it now.

Chapter 5

Kynlee

Ace and I have managed to keep things simple for the past couple of months. At times we act like a couple, but we both know we aren’t; even though Ace and I haven’t been seeing anyone else. Neither of us have stayed a full night with one another. We always end up at my place. He doesn’t seem comfortable with the idea of me being at his place so I don’t push it. Ace also seems very hesitant and uncomfortable with the idea of staying the night too.

Everything had seemed to be going pretty good until last night. Yesterday, I had informed Ace I would be getting breast implants to help me book more jobs and he had completely shut down. He told me that my body was perfect and he didn’t think I should risk my health just to be a dumb model. His words had stung. I hated when people told me my dreams were dumb. He had known for a while that I wanted to be a lingerie model and hopefully aPlaymateeventually. I wasn’t sure why it had shocked him so badly. Things had escalated pretty quickly between us and he ended up storming out of my apartment.
