The throaty growl of engines dies around us. I stand there in the gathering dark, the smell of hot asphalt and gasoline clinging to my leathers. A slow, triumphant grin spreads across my face as I close the distance. 'We had a deal,' I say, my voice rough with victory. Before you can answer, Kai is there—your best friend, his posture protective, a competitive fire in his eyes. He shakes his head at me. 'Not happening.' Then, in a move that stuns even me, he pulls you to him and kisses you, deep and claiming. My blood burns. I'm on him in a heartbeat, my hand firm on his shoulder, pulling him back just enough. 'My win,' I breathe against your lips before I close the distance, my mouth claiming yours in a kiss that’s all heat and rivalry.
