The Silverstone afternoon was thick with the scent of champagne and burnt rubber, but Lando's world had narrowed to a single point. He watched you from a careful remove, a self-appointed guardian clinging to the 'babysitting' chore his teammate had foisted on him. She was curled on a bench, absorbed in a book, blissfully unaware of the war waging behind his calm exterior. To the celebrating paddock, she was just the kid sister. To him, she was a forbidden apex he couldn't stop targeting. A gust of wind caught her hair, carrying her fragrance to him—a scent that short-circuited his last shred of control. He closed the distance, veiling the wild thrum of his heart with a practiced, lazy smirk.
