For the love of speed.

Chapter 3: Saveen

I am coming in hot for this last race. Conner is one heck of a racer and has given me a run for my money. My last race of the night, and I am all in on this one. I need this car for the awesome glass packs that are on it, and for the Nitrous canisters that are in them. I had been working with him for months; to race me, and I was finally able to get him to agree to it, however, at a price. If I win his car, yes, I do get it, but when he gets his next car, I have to do the work on it for free up to a month. It's a price to pay, but hey, I want that car more importantly, the parts off of it. We come into the last two turns, and I am in the zone; I cannot mess up here. If not, it will cost me Pebbles, and that is not an option. I take the turn tight, while Conner takes it wide, and that is when I know I got him. Last quarter, and I can tell it's getting to Conner that he is about to lose. I just hope he does not overdo it, and cost him a lot more than just the car. As we are coming up on the turn, Pebbles grumbles, and it makes me downshift because she has never led me wrong. I whipped around just in time to see Conner go in tight. " s**t! come on pebbles, we got this! Come on, baby." I yell loudly and let a breath out. I pushed the pedal down to the floorboard, and waited for my RPMS to be just right, shifted up, and hit the nos. Just after Conner did, and I smiled. Got him. I cross the finish line with a bumper ahead of him. My heart is beating in my ears as my adrenaline is rushing threw my veins. I buzz with excitement, as I am slowing down. When I come to a complete stop, I put her in first and turn her off. When I get out, I yank my helmet off just in time for everyone to run up to me, and Dexter picks me up and spins me. " Did you see that! That was amazing!" I grin from ear to ear, squealing because he picked me up.

I see Conner get out of his car and tap for Dex to put me down. I walk over to him, trying to figure out his mood because it can go one of two ways. He sees me and smiles to which makes me relax. "I almost had you, that was a damn good race, women," Conner tells me. "Yes, it was. I just hope nothing is wrong with the car now. Conner, you know the rules do not take unnecessary risks. For a second there, it looked like you were not going to slow down." I stand next to him with my hands on my hips. " Saveen, you are one heck of a driver, but we are right, I was going to try to gun threw it and pull the E-brake to drift it. However, I remembered that the last corner doesn't work like that and ended up going in tight. I just couldn't risk my car, and I still ended up losing my car," he replied, shaking his head. " Well, Conner, it looks like I still get your car, but a deal is a deal. Bring me the next one, and I'll work on it. However, you only get me for a month." I smile at him, and he steps closer. Conner is not a bad-looking man; he has dark brown hair and pretty blue eyes. He is as tall as Dexter is, and it makes me have to look up at him. He has a strong jaw, and from working on the oil rigs, he is solid and always smells so good. He looks me in my eyes, " Oh, I just got you for a month? I'll have to take advantage of that and even take you to dinner a few times; maybe it can turn into more than just a month." I blush a little, understanding what he is suggesting, and just as I am about to reply, "Saveen! My guy over there says he wants to race, but here is the thing: if he wins, you go on a date with him. If you win, you will still get his pink. What do you say?" Dex yelled above the engines. I couldn't see who it was and was curious, but I was confident I would walk away with a fourth pink slip tonight. " Sounds invigorating, let's go!" I reply devilishly. I glance back at Conner. "We can talk about this later, okay. I will give you my number so we can set up when you get your new car and what you want me to do." he looks down at me, annoyed that we were interrupted, but hands me his phone, and I put in my number. "Call me Conner." I smile brightly at him, and it seems to make him step back. I place my hand on his arm and walk away. As I get to my car, I shove my helmet back on. I am so going to have crazy helmet hair after this. I make sure that my car has everything it needs, like enough gas. I head up to the starting line.

As we line up to go, I don't dare look over. Just focus on the street in front of me. Though the request is odd, I don't mind taking one more race before I call it for the night, but go on a date with me, who in their right mind would wager that? I mean, it's like he is so confident that he will win, there is only one person who could beat me, and that was Killian. He left, no call, no text, no snail mail, nothing. So it’s not like he will ever come back; he has nothing he cares for here. I hit myself in the helmet to focus. This is just gonna be another win in my bag. I wasn't expecting to win another car. Sabina lines us up, and we are ready. Her arms go up, what seems like forever, she throws them down, and we are off. My heart is beating so loud that I feel alive, free, and in control. However, I'm not in control. The other driver is, and damn, can he race. The way he handles his car is as if it's an extension of his body, and like he knows this track like its the back of his hand. Each turn, each stretch, he is dominating this race. It is over before I know it, and I lost. I'm holding onto the wheel in shock. How could I lose? Who is the guy? I get out of pebbles and rip off my helmet, ready to meet the guy who will be my date. As I am walking over to the crowd that has surrounded the newcomer. "Damn dude, it's so good to have you back, only you have ever been able to handle her, bro!" Dex exclaimed loudly, and I froze, my breath stalled in my throat. It can't be I miss heard what was just said. I am holding my breath as he finally turns around with a smug grin. " Well, I did teach our little Saveen everything she knows. She just wishes she could be the best." Killian McWright is looking me dead in the eyes as he says that, and my knees go weak. He is back after 4 years, and he is back. The one person who said he would protect me, the one person who I was the closest to, the one person who knew everything, and the only person I ever loved. I took a step back as he walked to me. " Hello, little mustang, did you miss me?" he asked with the same grin that made my body tingle, and I saw red. Before I could stop myself, I punched him square in the jaw and yelled, " YOU LIER!" I ran to my car and sped off.

Killians pov:

She has always had a mean right hook. All I can do is watch as that sexy ass runs away from me, gets in her car, and speeds off. I deserved that, and I deserved so much more, but I came back for her, and I was not leaving without her. She deserves the world, and that's why I left, and I plan to give it to her. I'll have her, too, all of her. I just have to break her like the wild Mustang she is, not only her mind, but her body and soul too. I look forward to tasting all of her.
