Never forget you

Chapter 40: Skye

Pulling up to the race track in my GTO makes my heart flutter and chills run down my spine. There's something different about tonight and it's not just the cars that have my adrenaline pumping. Knight's been acting bizarre all day. Even when we were in French class it was almost as if he was flirting with me. I shake my head to rid it of the thoughts but then my mind floods with images of him staring at me in the lunch room and the hallway today. As if he couldn't get enough of me all day. I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it. Having him looking at me like that, with such lust, desire and heat in his eyes. I clench my thighs together to dull the ache.

I thought that after sleeping with him again it would tell me that my mind was playing tricks on me. That he was in fact horrible in bed, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Every time I see him in the halls, every time I get a whiff of his cologne, hell, anytime I fucking close my eyes I have flashbacks, dreams of how it felt to have him inside me. Touching me. Devouring me. Owning me.

There's no denying he's the best I've ever had. Whether that has to do with his insatiable skills or the wild chemistry between us, we're like magnets, we just can't stay away. I stare out at the empty patch of road in front of me, the bright spot lights shining down on me as I think about the way Knight's pink, soft lips felt all over my skin. Grazing down my body. Sucking on my pert nipples.

I let out a shaky breath when I feel my nipples pebble against my bra. I can't stop my mind from recovering all of the memories in grave details. The shower. The chemistry classroom. My bed. I close my eyes willing the flashbacks to go away, if only for an hour so I can focus on this race.

I'm startled out of my day dreams, suppressing a squeal when someone taps on my window. I glance over seeing Niko smirking and motioning for me to step out. Reluctantly opening my door I step out and smile when I see Lila in a huddle with the rest of Knight's crew. I walk over, the second she sees me she throws her arms around me whispering in my ear. "I don't know what he's got planned but you better be prepared. Kick his ass."

I laugh, my eyes moving up to meet my favorite pair of hazel's. Knight smirks at me knowing damn well that what Lila just said was about him. He clears his throat and we break apart. I fold my arms over my chest, giving him a look that screams do your worst but I've already made a mistake. In crossing my arms I've pushed my breasts together making my cleavage spill out which in turn makes all male eyes zoom in. But the only pair of eyes that get me are the green-browns that have my panties drenched by the heat inside of them when his eyes flicker back to mine. I swallow trying to subtly shift my legs closer to hide the arousal building inside.

It doesn't work. Knight catches my slight move and his lips turn up more. He's giving me a full blown cocky grin and I roll my eyes on a huff. God, why does he have to be so delicious.

"So, are you two ready with your bets?" Niko asks looking between us.

I raise my eyebrow looking at him and then Knight. "Huh?"

"What do you want if you happen to win the race?" The way he says happen makes a small pit of fire build in my stomach. I pop my hip, narrowing my eyes at him.

"What the fuck do you mean 'if I happen to win the race'."

Knight smirks even more. "I mean...I'll let you tell us what you want but there's no way in hell you're getting it because I'm going to win, baby."

My eyes flutter while my stomach does a complete back flip at the sound of him calling me baby. Shit. Fuck. What do I want? I hadn't even thought about it because my mind has been focused on sex. No, not just on sex but sex with him!

In that split second a smug grin forms on my face and I watch as Knight's face pinches into a confused stare. He knows I've thought of something.

"Come on, spill it already so we can get this over with."

I look around our circle. All eyes on me but I refuse to say what I want out loud. I refuse to give him the satisfaction so instead I look to Niko. "Are you the bet keeper?"

Niko narrows his eyes at me with a smile. "Sure. I'll keep the bets."

"Perfect." I lean into him covering my mouth with my hand and whisper what I want if I win. I almost laugh, and if I had a drink in my mouth I would for sure spit it out, at the way Niko's eyes widen and shoot to Knight. When I back up I see the unsure look on Knight's face as he watches me and his best friend.

Niko chokes out a laugh. "Yeah, okay. That's actually a fucking good one." He looks me up and down for a minute before smiling and shaking his head. "Alright, buddy, what's yours?"

Knight raises his eyebrow looking between Niko and I before moving forward and doing the same thing. Whispering his bet into Niko's ear he doesn't have the same reaction as he did with mine but he does smile at Knight's words before nodding.

When they break apart Knight and I look at each other. My blue's captured by his now browns. I bite down on my lower lip smiling when Knight's eyes follow the movement. He glances back up smirking causing a jolt of lighting to pierce down my spine. My panties are ruined, drenched with liquid arousal just at the sight of him but before I can think of anything else Shane yells, "Let's start the race!"

We both turn on our heels heading for our cars when I hear Knight say, "Just remember, loser has to follow through." I turn my head over my shoulder smirking at him as I open my door. "Yeah, remember that when I cross the finish line first, Nighty Knight."

He shakes his head getting into his car at the same time I enter mine. The engine purrs between my legs causing an amazing sensation to fill me. This is something new. Something beyond exciting. Beyond what I'm used to. I buckle my seat belt, put my feet into their proper positions and throw my hand on my shifter while the other grasps the wheel. I take one more peek at Knight from the corner of my eye before focusing on the giant lights in front of me.

My heart speeds up as the anticipation nears. My grip tightens on the wheel as I stare at the red light. I hear the yells, the encouragements and the laughter from all around. Half the school is probably out there but I tune them out. My stomach flutters and I have that feeling you get when you're on a roller coaster. How it builds and builds as you climb to the top and just as you get there and you see that enormous drop, the moment where everything stops and you hold your breath before you plummet and your stomach flies to your throat before dropping to your feet.

The light turns green and my roller coaster has dropped sending my stomach to my throat before throwing it back down. My foot hits the gas and I zip down the pavement at lightning speed. I'm not focused on anything else but that finish line in front of me and the second I cross that line I look to my left and see Knight's car. He's staring back at me, his eyes wide. His grin taking up his entire face. My breathing is ragged as if I just jumped out of a building but then I focus straight ahead again watching as the audience comes barely down to the pavement to surround us. It's then that it hits me.

"Who won?"
