“This isn’t fair,” Mitch called as he reached behind him to grab Levi which gave me the opportunity to crawl out from under Mitch and make a run for Levi’s room. Mitch grabbed my foot as soon as I stood up, pulling me back to him while he tickled Levi with his other hand.
“Now you know how I felt this past week with you and Levi scheming against me.” I squealed as Mitch managed to wrestle me underneath him, pinning me to the ground.
“Alright,” Mitch called, “Truce and we can head out for pizza.”
“Never surrender,” Levi called, riding Mitch like he was a horse.
“Are you sure this is what you want?” I laughed looking up at Mitch.
He caged me in with his arms and leaned down. “I couldn’t ask for anything better.”
“Are you gonna kiss her, Mitch?” Levi leaned down, his head peaking over Mitch’s shoulder. “I think you should kiss her and then we can get pizza.”
“I think that’s the best idea I’ve heard all day, Levi.” Mitch kissed me, short and sweet, but there was so much promise in that small kiss that I couldn’t wait until after pizza and Levi was in bed.
Mitch and I were going to have our first sleepover, but I didn’t think there was going to be much sleeping.

Chapter 33
Mitch
“Are you gonna marry my mama?”
I was tucking Levi into bed while Scarlett was grabbing his Optimus Prime from the living room.
After our tickle fight in the living room, we all headed out for pizza and then spent an hour and forty bucks in the game room trying to win a purple stuffed elephant for Scarlett. We were, unfortunately, unsuccessful.
“Maybe someday, bud, if she would say yes.”
“Can I help you like I did before when you ask her?” He yawned big and snuggled into his pillow. He turned on his side and tucked his hands under his head.
“When the time comes, you’ll be the first one I ask to help me, promise.”
“Awesome.”
“Here’s Optimus,” Scarlett said, walking into his room and tucked it under Levi’s arm.
“Thank you, Mama,” he mumbled. His eyes were halfway closed, and he yawned again.
“Get some sleep, big man.” Scarlett brushed his hair back and pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite.”
“Night, Mama. Night, Mitch.” Levi pulled the blanket up to his chin and closed his eyes. Scarlett grabbed my arm and pulled me out of Levi’s bedroom and quietly closed the door.
“That was pretty easy,” I whispered. I wrapped my arms around Scarlett and pulled her close. “Is it mama and Mitch time now?”
“Hmm, I think it just might be.”
“I’ll lock up the apartment and turn all the lights off. You need to get ready for me.” I pressed a kiss to the side of her neck and swatted her ass as she headed down the hall.
I flipped off all the lights, double checked to make sure the front door was locked and peaked into Levi’s room to make sure he was still out and then I finally opened the door to Scarlett’s bedroom.
Scarlett was curled up under the covers, her head resting on her lumpy, old pillow and her eyes were shining up at me. “I was afraid I was dreaming, and you weren’t going to walk through that door.”
“I’m here, Sparky, and I don’t plan on going anywhere.” I shut the door behind me, and quickly took off my jeans and shirt and slipped under the covers next to her. “We need to get you a couple of new pillows. This one is shit.” I grabbed the pillow out from under her head and crammed it under my head.
“Hey,” she protested, sitting up and grabbed the pillow. My eyes instantly went to her naked body and all thoughts of lumpy pillows left.
“Fuck me, Scar.” I reached up, cupping her breast and her body shivered at my touch. “I fucking missed you.”
“I missed you, too.” She threw her leg over my body and straddled my hips. Her naked body was on display above me, and all I could do was stare. “Are you just going to look at me all night?”
“Hell, I’d be happy just to stare at you for the rest of my life, Scar.” My hands rested on her lush hips, and she reached up, cupping her breasts. “Although I do have to say that watching you touch yourself is pretty damn good, too.”
“Hmm, I like it better when you touch me.”
My hands traveled up her stomach, gliding over her smooth skin. “Who am I not to oblige you?” Her hands fell down to her sides, and she arched her back, pressing her perfect tits into my hands.
“Remind me again why I ran from this?” She moaned at my touch, closing her eyes and tossed her head back.
“I can’t remember, but I know I was a fool to let you leave me, even for a week.” I ran my thumbs over nipples, her body responding to every touch. “Fucking beautiful.” Her nipples hardened and puckered. I jack-knifed off the bed, wrapping my arms around her and my mouth did the one thing I had been dying to do. I sucked her nipple into my mouth, my tongue swirling around the tight bud.
“Mitch,” she moaned. She wrapped her arms around my neck as I sucked, lipped, nipped and devoured her sweet nipples. She ground her sweet pussy into my rock hard dick, and I bit down on her nipple. She gasped but didn’t pull away. “You have too many clothes on.”
“So eager.”
“I just know what I want.” She pulled away, and her hand went to the waistband of my boxers. “And don’t act like you don’t like it.”
I lifted my hips as she slid them over my ass and worked them down my legs then tossed them on the floor. “Don’t ever think I don’t want this, Sparky. I’d die for this.” I flipped her over, her warm, soft body arching underneath me. My hands traveled over her body, touching every inch of her as my mouth tasted the graceful arch of her neck as she tossed her head back. I cupped her sweet, wet pussy, slowly pressing a finger inside her. My thumb flicked her clit, and her body trembled under my touch.
“Mitch, please,” she moaned. I pumped my finger in and out, and she squirmed under me, grinding her pussy into my hand.
“Tell me what you want,” I whispered as I leaned down, my lips next to her ear.
“You, only you,” she gasped. I nipped her ear lobe then kissed a trail down her neck. “Please,” she pleaded.
“Grab my dick,” I growled. I needed to have her hands on me. I craved her touch like my next breath.
Her small hand was like a vise on my dick as she stroked me up and down. Her other hand grasped my back, her nails digging in as I bit down on her neck. She dug her heels into the bed and arched her back into me, her hand vigorously stroking me. “I need you inside me.”
She spread her legs wide, and I looked down, watching my dick slowly sink into her. I groaned low as her tight, wet pussy enveloped me and all I could do was feel. I buried my face in her neck, not moving, just knowing that this was where I was meant to be. Scarlett was what I had wanted my whole life, and now I had her.
I pulled out slowly and looked down at Scarlett. “How the hell did I get so lucky?”
“Keep moving and you’ll get even luckier.” Her eyes were at half-mast and filled with desire. “More, Mitch. I need more.”
I sat back, grabbed her knees and pushed her legs back into her chest. Her sweet pussy was tilted up, and her eyes opened wide in shock as I plunged back into her.
“Oh my God,” she gasped. I pounded into her, my hips driving deeper with each thrust.
“Touch yourself. I want you to come all over my dick.” Her hand snaked down her stomach, grazing over the mound of her pussy, zoning in on her sweet clit. I watched as her finger flicked her clit, moving fast with each thrust of my hips. She closed her eyes, tossing her head back and moaned my name over and over.
“I’m close,” she gasped.
I leaned down on my elbows, my lips sucking in her sweet nipple and sucked hard. I pounded into her knowing that my release was mere seconds away.
“Mitch,” she screamed as her finger p
inched her clit and she fell over the edge, her hand snaking around my neck, holding on.
I thrust one last time and buried my face in her neck as my cum exploded inside of her, filling her. “Fuck,” I growled. “Mine.”
She wrapped her legs around my waist, and I gave one last thrust, both of our bodies shivering as the last tremors of our orgasms rocked our bodies. I collapsed on top of her, my arms no longer able to hold me.
“I love you, Mitch,” she breathed out. Her arms wrapped tight around me, and I felt her body shake under me.
I leaned back, saw tears streaming down her face and wiped them away with my thumb. “What’s wrong, Sparky?”
“I love you, and I almost pushed you away because I was too caught up in what I should be doing instead of just listening to my heart.”
“I wasn’t going anywhere. No matter how much you tried to push me away, I was always going to be here.” I pressed a kiss to her lips and smiled down at her. “I knew what you meant when you said you needed to know if you could do it on your own, but I knew that you were never going to be on your own again. You’re stuck with me.” I rolled off of her and gathered her in my arms. “I fell in love with you that night we went golfing with Levi. I saw you as not only the hottest woman I’d ever seen but also as the woman who I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
“We’re so crazy, Mitch,” she laughed.
“Yeah, we may be, but who the hell cares.”
She closed her eyes and rested her head on my shoulder and sighed. “Can we just stay here and forget about the world.”
“For tonight, we can, Scar. Tonight it’s just you and me.”
She snuggled into me and wrapped her arms around my waist. “Can I ask a question?”
“Sure.”
“Did you ever find Kurt?”
“I thought we were going to forget about the world tonight?” Kurt was the last thing I wanted to think about right now.
“I’ve been worried all week, but I didn’t want to ask.”
“We have no idea where he is. He came back in the middle of the night we think, cleared out all of his stuff he needed, and then he was gone again.” From what we could tell, he had taken most of his tools and some of his clothes. If you were to walk into his room, you wouldn’t be able to tell he was gone. That was the only thing that gave us hope that he might come back.
“Do you think he’s still around here?”
“I don’t know. We’ve all gotten offers to go race other places, but we never took them. I think someone may have talked to Kurt at the right time, and he took it. Leelee has been quiet since he left, basically moping around the shop.”
“I think something happened between those two, but neither of them is willing to talk about it.” I looked down at Scarlett, and her eyes were closed as she talked. “Leelee had said that she had messed things up between the two, but she didn’t say how.”
“I don’t know, Scar. Luke’s talked to everyone he knows, letting them know that he’s looking for Kurt, but he hasn’t heard anything yet. I have to believe he’ll come home soon.”
“I hope so, Mitch.”
“Me too, Sparky, me too.” I slipped out of bed, grabbed my t-shirt and threw it at Scarlett. “Put that on in case Levi wakes up before we do.”
She sat up and pulled it over her head and leaned over the edge of the bed and grabbed her underwear. “Good thinking,” she giggled. She shimmied them up her legs and laid back down, pulling the covers up to her chin.
I grabbed my boxers and pulled them on. “Fucking sexy as hell,” I said shaking my head. I turned off the light and opened the door so we could hear Levi if he needed us.
“I think you might have this whole dad thing down pat already,” Scarlett said as I slid back into bed and pulled her into my arms.
“Well, I love you both, so I figure I can’t fuck things up too badly then.”
She reached up, cupping my face and stroked my cheek. “I don’t know how I got so lucky to have you come into my life, Mitch, but I know I’m one lucky girl.”
I leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips. “We’re both lucky, Scar.”
She rested her head on my shoulder and placed her hand over my heart. “I love you, Mitch.”
“I love you, too, Scar.”

Chapter 34
Scarlett
“I didn’t miss any races, right?”
It was Friday night and Violet, Leelee and I were sitting on the tailgate of Luke’s truck waiting for the race to start. The past week had been amazing, and I hoped that things only got better. Levi was with Frankie at the shop right now and after the race, Mitch and I planned on heading back to his place and spending the night there.
“Yup. Last week was canceled because of rain.” Violet and I were both sipping on Coronas while Leelee was just drinking water.
“Not up for drinking tonight?” I asked her.
“Naw. I drove myself here tonight. I had to drop Jay off at football camp. He’s gone for the next six weeks. I just managed to scrape up enough money and sell my soul to the devil to get him in so you can bet your ass he wasn’t going to miss that bus.” She twisted the cap back on her bottle and set it next to her.
“Six weeks, wow. That’s basically the whole summer.” I couldn’t imagine Levi being gone for six weeks.
“Yeah, but I think it’ll be good for him, plus he’s pretty fucking amazing at football. He’s hoping to get a football scholarship, and I think he’s got a pretty good shot.”
“That would be awesome. Maybe we’ll all have to come to some of his games this fall.”
Leelee just nodded her head and looked away. Violet looked at me, and all I could do was shrug my shoulders. This wasn’t the first time we had tried to talk to Leelee, and she had shut us down. It seemed the longer Kurt was gone, the more withdrawn she became.
“Race is starting.” Luke walked over and tossed his arm over Violet’s shoulders. My eyes were trained on Mitch’s car, and I felt my nerves build as I watched the flag girl nod at each car. I had breathed a sigh of relief when AZ hadn’t shown up to race tonight, although he was here. Everyone was trying to figure out why he was here if he didn’t plan on racing. He was parked three cars over with a crowd of girls and hangers-on around him.
The girl in the middle of the road raised her hands over her head then dropped them and the cars took off. Mitch was only racing against two other cars tonight and Luke had said that Mitch had this in the bag.
“He’s fast off the line when I’m not racing him.” I looked over my shoulder and saw AZ standing on the side of the truck. He looked as sleazy and nasty as I had first thought. I couldn’t see why all of these girls were hanging around him.
“Fast off the line don’t mean shit in street racing, AZ. If you knew anything you would know that.” Luke turned around and crossed his arms over his chest.
AZ shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the truck. “I’ll beat him next week.”
“Is that all you came over here to say?” Leelee smarted off.
AZ sneered at her and pushed off the truck. “You might want to keep your girl in check here, Luke.”
“I’m not anyone’s girl.” Leelee hopped off the truck and stormed over to AZ. Luke grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him. “Fuck off, AZ,” Leelee shouted over Luke’s shoulder.
AZ pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in the corner of his mouth. “Such a mouth on that one.” He lit the end of his cigarette and blew the smoke in Luke’s direction. “I didn’t come over here to play with the dirty Mexican.” Leelee lunged out from behind Luke, clawing to get her hands on AZ, but Luke grabbed her around the waist and hauled her back behind him.
“Spit out whatever the fuck you have to say, AZ, and then get fucking lost.”
AZ’s eyes traveled over Violet and me, and a sick smile was on his face that made my skin crawl. “I hear you’ve been looking for your brother. I might know where he is
.”
“Fucking tell me.”
“Well, from where I’m standing, I don’t owe you a damn thing, but you might have something I want that I might be willing to take in exchange for the info I have on Kurt.”
AZ stepped towards me but Luke stepped in front of him, cutting him off. “Think twice before you do what you’re thinking. You mess with Mitch’s woman you’re not only messing with him; you’re messing with me, too.”
“Ah, such brotherly love. Too bad Mitch isn’t here right now.” AZ moved to push Luke out of the way, and Violet moved into me, blocking me from AZ.
Luke moved fast and put his hand on AZ’s throat and slammed him into the cab of the truck. “Tell me what you fucking know and if you’re lucky, I’ll let you walk away without a limp.” Luke squeezed his throat, and AZ’s face turned red as he struggled to get out of the hold Luke had on him.
“West,” he wheezed. “He went west.”
“Where?”
“California. He got an offer to race out there.” He hit Luke’s arm, trying to knock it away. “That’s all I fucking know.”
Luke squeezed his neck one last time then let him go and stepped back. AZ hunched over, grabbing his neck and gasped for air. “You’re gonna fucking pay for that.”
Luke grabbed him by the hair and yanked his head up. “No, I don’t fucking think so. You still owe me a ten-second car, but I’m feeling forgiving at the moment. Get the fuck out of my sight before I change my mind and beat the shit out of you.” Luke threw him against the truck and turned his back to AZ. He walked back over to Violet, who wrapped her arms around Luke and buried her face in his neck.
AZ slinked away, glaring back at us the whole way but was smart enough to keep his mouth shut. “You should have let me scratch his fucking eyes out, Luke,” Leelee spat.
“He’s not fucking worth it, Leelee. Chill out, sit down and watch the fucking race,” Luke ordered.
Leelee crossed her arms over her chest and walked back over to sit next to me but kept her eyes on AZ’s retreating back. “Fucking prick,” she mumbled under her breath.
