"Seems to me," he whispered, his lips brushing her ear, "that you have two heartbeats." 

"Oh really?" Dakota raised a brow, unconsciously pressing her thighs together. 

Alessandro hummed in response, his green eyes dark with lust. 

His racing suit hung loosely over his hips, the skin tight fireproof showing off his rippling muscles. 

"One here," he began, pushing a lock of hair off her shoulder. He took her hand, pressing it against her chest. 

Her heart hammered against her rib cage as if it was threatening to jump out. 

"Would you like to know where the other one is, Dakota?" 

Her breath hitched at her name leaving his lips. 

He spun her around, the two falling back onto the couch that was against the wall. She held her breath as he took her hand again. 

Slowly, he led her hand down her stomach. 

Lower. 

Lower.
-------------------------
The roar of V6 engines. The whirring of wheel guns. The sweet taste of champagne. 

All things that made Alessandro's heart race. The thrill of racing on tracks at speeds one could only imagine.  

The 2021 season was one that Italian Alessandro Moreno never saw coming. His first year as a Formula One driver. A chance to be 1 of 20 lucky enough to race in the most elite & selective sport in the world. 

He only had one shot. Out of nearly 7.9 billion people, only 20 had the opportunity. And there was no way he was letting anything fuck it up. 

Or so he thought. 

There was only one thing Dakota Sánchez loved in life. Speed. 

A thrilling feeling spread through her body at the sound of engines revving. The hustle and bustle up and down the pitlanes. The drama, the overtakes, the wheel to wheel racing. F1 had stolen her heart. 

COMPLETE - 
In a sport dominated by upper-class males, Dakota knew her options were limited. But she wasn't going to give up that easy. With one phone call on a late January evening, Dakota found herself in a shiny Aston Martin Safety Car.

The Shadows of my Liefje | Max Verstappen by VPTS0607
17 parts Ongoing
Upon her laughing at my struggle, a smile naturally creeps onto my face. "Sorry. What I mean to say is I would like for you to come with me. If you come, you could finally know what my job is." She grins widely. "Because you are not a mechanic, but you won't tell what your real job is." "Exactly, but if you come..." She presses her lips together and then pouts slightly. "I can't." My smile drops. "I'm sorry, Max, my flight leaves Thursday morning." Disappointed, I shrug in an attempt to play it casual. "It's okay," I say softly, and she scrunches her nose at the pet name. "But tell me the truth, would you have come if you were staying longer?" She smiles widely and I mimic her. "Depends, would you continue acting like an asshole?" I chuckle. I know she will never let that go, and weirdly it brings me joy because that means that she will never forget the day we met. And I don't want her to forget it because it is forged forever in my mind. I am bound by that day, but if I am bound, she should be too. I want us to be bound forever by that day. "Maybe. Depends if you will text me this time." "Then maybe." With a grin on my face, I reply, "Maybe is good enough for now." A lie. Truly, maybe is not enough, but I will wait for her forever if it is necessary. I barely know her, but I want her to like me at least a portion of how much I like her because her mere presence makes me happy, and I believe I have the same effect on her. ------------------------------- Two pressured souls to succeed, longing for love. Max Verstappen, a seemingly ruthless driver, finds himself drawn to Vanessa Teixeiro, the sweetest soul with many secrets he is eager to unravel. Two sides of the same coin collide and can't seem to escape the other. Vanessa knows she should keep her distance from him, as he is too tempting for her, especially at the wrong time. However, Max is determined to keep crossing paths with her. He has fallen for her, but will she fall for him too?

Lando and Megan met when they were just ten years old, attending the same school. From the moment they crossed paths, they became inseparable - best friends in every sense of the word. At sixteen, friendship quietly turned into something more. They confessed their feelings and started dating, officially beginning what felt like the start of forever. For the next seven years, Megan stood by Lando's side as he chased his dream of becoming a Formula One driver. And while he pushed for podiums and pole positions, Megan pursued her own path, studying to become a physiotherapist. Together, they dreamed of a future - a home, a family, a life built on love and years of trust. But all of that shattered the day Megan returned to Monaco. She'd come back early - a quiet surprise after visiting family in the UK for a birthday. She walked through the door expecting everything to be as she left it. Instead, what she found tore everything apart. That was nearly four years ago. Now, Megan lives in the UK, raising her three-year-old son, Noah - her entire world. She's done her best to move on, to rebuild the life that once seemed lost. But fate has its own plans. At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, as engines roar and crowds surge, Noah slips from her grasp, darting off through the crowd. Megan chases after him - heart racing, calling his name - until she finds him somewhere he absolutely shouldn't be. In a restricted area. With someone she never expected to see again. And in that moment, as eyes lock and silence falls - everything changes. Because nearly four years later, the truth is about to come out. ---- Dual POV All fictional - don't take any storyline seriously or hate upon any characters.

"on the corner of my bed, or maybe on the beach... you can do it on your own, while you're looking at me." LAVINIA WOLFF is the product of Britain's greatest nepotism scandal. Her father: the infamous Toto Wolff, the CEO of the Mercedes F1 team. Her mother: English socialite and ex-model Blair Jenkins. Lavinia certainly had a complicated upbringing, whether you include her parents divorce, their rekindling, her mother abandoning her, her fathers sole focus on business - all resulted in creating a rather confused, hopeless, and insecure young woman. Receiving a lack of attention from her parents, Lavinia revelled in the party scene, involving herself in situations and circumstances her father less that disapproved of. LANDO NORRIS has always been a notorious party boy. Throughout his years in Formula 3 and 2, the teen could never seem to keep himself out of trouble - given, he never wanted to. Bad reputations are prohibited in such public sports such as F1; yet Lando was signed to Mclaren, his past blatantly disregarded. His talent is one to watch - so much so, his less than tame habits could be overlooked. Although he keeps a composed exterior, Lando battles with the consistent pressure of performing, delivering and winning - the cruel side of his conscience threatening to consume him. >>> As the pair contest with their imposing mental implosions, a story of tension, secrets, tragedy and forbidden romance unfolds. Thrust together in a world of dramatics and riches, Lavinia and Lando have to learn to forge their own paths, leaving behind the limitations their previous lives inflicted upon them. But ultimately, will their contorted minds tear apart any possibility of normalcy? Will they be able to get past their apprehensions, their fears, and their addictions?

Sierra is one of the brightest new talents in Formula 2 - and the only woman on the grid. She's fast, fiercely competitive, and dangerously close to cracking under pressure. Between the media circus, online hate, rivalry and the burden of proving she belongs, Sierra's fight isn't just for podiums - it's for her future in motorsport. 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩? Max Verstappen isn't known for getting involved in anyone else's business. But after one late-night scroll through Sierra's social media, something shifts. She reminds him of the fire he races with - and the loneliness that can come with it. "𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴... 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭? 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘱, 𝘔𝘢𝘹."
