Ethan stayed with me all night and held me as I slept. I woke up wrapped in his arms and he had a smile on his sleeping face. My phone buzzed and I grabbed it and checked it, then looked back at Ethan before fully reading the text message.

Ricky: race has been bumped up. Sunday night. Be at the warehouse by 1:30 am. Race starts at 2 am. I'll see you there.

I sighed and felt Ethan shift and pull my closer to his chest. My giggle was quiet but I felt his chest rumble with silent laughter and I turned my head to see him staring at me.

"Well good morning, beautiful." He said and his husky voice sent shivers down my back. "You look sexy in the morning."

"I look disgusting." I said quietly and felt him flip me back and get on top of me before I could even blink. He stared down at my parted lips and he started to breathe heavier as I felt something poking me in a very sensitive spot.

"You're sexy. Fuck, I wish you were mine. So why are you awake so early?" He asked and nuzzled my neck, making me giggle.

"Ricky texted me. Race got bumped up to Sunday night." I said quietly and watched Ethan's face darken a little bit he masked it by kissing my neck once again then he got up.

"Wanna share a shower?" He asked with a wink.

"In your dreams lover boy." I said with a giggle.

"Ah if only." He said with a chuckle and walked into my bathroom and I heard the shower start. I laughed softly and walked to my closet and pulled off my pajamas. I grabbed a pair of blood red panties and a matching bra then pulled on tight black jeans and a black low cut t-shirt. Then I pulled on my black high top vans and went to the bathroom while Ethan was showering and brushed my hair and put on deodorant. "So we're at that point in our relationship already?"

I laughed and added some eyes liner and mascara. "I guess so. And we have no relationship."

"Yet." He said as he turned the water off and grabbed a towel. I struggled to not look at him but his reflection was in the mirror and for the first time I saw the tattoos all over his chest and arms.

"Damn." I said and smiled at Ethan.

"What?" He asked and wrapped the towel and secured it on his hip.

"The tattoos. There's so many." I said as I walked over in front of him and ran my fingers across the tattoos on his chest. He shivered under my touch and I smiled. So he did have a reaction to me.

"I've been progressively getting them since I was 18." He said with a wide grin, showing me his dimples and I couldn't help but giggle. God, Ethan was hot. "Why thank you."

"What?" I asked and looked up at his eyes.

"You said I was hot." He said with a chuckle and I blushed.

"Good god. I said it out loud." I said and face palmed myself as I turned and walked out of the bathroom, but I was grabbed around my waist and thrown on the bed. Ethan hovered on top of me and I felt him poking me again. I groaned softly and his eyes darkened even more.

"Keep making those little sounds and we won't be leaving this room until the race, baby girl." He said and kissed my neck and gently bit. Then he sucked in the same spot until I knew there would be a dark bruise on my pale skin. "Damn. Sorry. Couldn't help myself."

I blushed bright red and just stared into Ethan's eyes. The grey eyes I've spent many nights thinking of stared at me with such intensity that I shivered under him and he laid his body on mine, letting me feel the warmth of his skin.

"You're so beautiful." He whispered just as someone knocked on the door. He groaned and pushed himself off me and grabbed his clothes off the floor and went into the bathroom. I took a deep breath and got up and walked to the door and opened it.

"Fuck." I groaned when I saw Leland standing in the doorway. "Can I help you?"

"You always ask that. Yes, you can help me. I need sex." He said then his eyes narrowed on my neck. "Who gave you the love bite?"

I blushed and my hand flew up to my neck to cover it. "That's none of your business. And go fuck Emma. She's be more than willing to jump into your bed."

"I don't want her. I want you." He said and pushed me back, then kicked the door shut and picked me up and threw me onto the bed.

"Let me go! I don't want you!" I yelled as I kicked at him and he pinned me down. "Ethan!"

Ethan burst out of the bathroom and tackled Leland off of me. My door flew open and my brother ran in and grabbed Leland as Ethan landed a few good punches to his stomach. I gasped and covered my mouth as I watched this unfold. Ethan's eyes were dark and his back was rigid and I watched his muscles flex with every punch before he nodded to my brother and clay dragged him out of the room.

Ethan came over to me and took my face delicately between his hands and I watched his eyes lighten as he stared into mine.

"God your eyes are gorgeous." He said and I couldn't help but giggle. His smile gave me butterflies. "That's what I wanted to hear. I'm sorry, sweetie. Leland is a complete jerk and has always gotten his way."

"Have you guys been friends?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Never. We were never friends. But he knows my younger brother. They're in the same grade." He said and then something clicked in my head.

"Just what grade are you in?" I asked and he grinned.

"I'm a senior. I graduate this year." He said and my heart dropped and I saw the realization in his eyes. "But, if you chose to be my girlfriend, I'll always make time for you."

"I'll think about it. What are you studying?" I asked and got up off the bed and walked into the closet, knowing Ethan was following me.

"I'm going to be a parole officer. I've been an intern for the whole four years of college and they guaranteed me a spot already. So as soon as I graduate, I've got a job." He said and then draped his jacket around my shoulders. "I don't want you wearing another mans jacket."

I looked up at Ethan and watched his black hair fall into his eyes. It was messy and I reached up and ran my fingers through the silkiness of it and watched his eyes close with pleasure.

"I like that." He murmured and I smiled.

"Good. Your hair is so soft." I said just as my phone beeped. I walked back Into the room and grabbed it off the nightstand. A text message.

Ricky: be ready for whatever happens today. The competition is fierce. Hope my car is fast enough.

I sighed and showed Ethan the text message. He grinned and nodded his head and I locked the phone and shoved it in my purse and shrugged my purse over my shoulder.

"So what's the plan for today?" I asked.

"That's a surprise." He said and grabbed my hand and lead me out of the room.
