Authors note:
I'll just leave this 18+ warning here ahahah!
Weirdly enough I actually didn't know whether to release this chapter or not because I had no clue how graphic I could get without scaring myself let alone you guys lol. So I tried my best to make it as spicy as I could as I know a lot of you have read this book so far for that reason. If you're uncomfortable with sexual content this is your warning this chapter will be full of it!🌶️
Let me know your thoughts, is it too graphic or would you want more detail?

And just like that I'd landed in Miami airport roughly thirteen hours later after departing from Cannes. Exhausted was an understatement. But I knew it was worth it to see Charles again and he'd be in the same boat. He had immediately left Japan that night as he had business to attend to in Miami before the Grand Prix weekend, with there only being less then a week till the race he decided to get a head start. I'd spent the majority of the flight casting my mind back to the day before with my parents and Lacey. Charles had chucked every last bit of his energy into securing the win in Japan, ending it with a kiss to the sky for Jules and lifting that well deserved trophy. I never got tired of seeing his success. His success was my happiness. He was my happiness.
I breezed through the aiport carrying only light luggage on me with the rest already being transferred to the hotel. It was quite humid but the short black dress I had on was helping slightly. The less clothes the better I always said. Slutty I know.
The one thing about travelling that i hated was travelling heavy. However the plan was that me Charles and a few others was going to stay in Miami after the race weekend, considering there was a little bit of a break until the next race. Surprisingly I had managed to book the same hotel as the one Charles was staying in and a few other drivers. Convenient I know, so Charles had already arranged to collect me when my plane had landed.
When I finally saw him in the distance I swear I could've dropped into a heap on the floor. I'd forgotten how attractive I found him. There he was stood confidently resting back against a large beam, his arms crossed over his torso clearly deep in thought. He was dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark slacks. Kill me now. I was slightly confused as to why he had sunglasses on at first, but one quick glance to the crowd of paparazzi people outside answered my question instantly.
We immediately made eye contact the second he spotted me walking towards him. But walking quickly turned into running. He smiled widely stepping forward as I collapsed into his arms. He pulled me into him tightly embracing his arms around my waist.
"It's good to see you Luce" he muttered softly against the side of my head.
"Likewise" I pulled back slightly looking up into those big green beacons I'd missed. He had more stubble then the last time I'd seen him and quite frankly it suited him.
"You ready to go? My car is parked outside" He asked giving my hand a squeeze.
"What about the paparazzi?"
"Don't worry about them just stick behind me and you'll be fine"
He gripped my hand tightly as I trailed behind him offering small smiles to the cameras and the odd wave to keep them at bay. Being with Charles meant I didn't need security in Miami, I had him and his security team but if I was being honest Charles was doing a good job on his own. He opened the passenger door allowing me to safely get inside before he greeted the cameras for the last time with a wave before climbing into the drivers side.
The sun was setting as we drove through the busy streets of the city, it casted a warm glow over the tall buildings surrounding. Miami was very pleasing to the eye, but then again so was many places in America. There was palm trees for as far as the eye could see, people walking around in low rise shorts with sunglasses and plenty of places spotted to visit when we had the time.
I layed slumped against the seat admiring it all when Charles glanced towards me "So, what do you think of it all so far?"
"It's beautiful, I can't believe I've never been here before" I turned my head to gaze at him with a lazy smile tugging on my lips.
"Well I'm glad I get to be the one to experience it with you"
"I wouldn't wanna experience this city with anyone else" I replied with a small smile. To my left I'd suddenly spotted a small cafe called 'Lucy's' I didn't know why but I felt drawn to it. I had to check it out. Plus the long haul flight had left me parched and in need of some relaxation.
"Wait"
Charles looked at me quickly clearly confused about my sudden instruction.
"That coffee shop there" I pointed to our left "can we just make a pit stop there"
"Yeah course"
A few minutes later we'd found ourselves sat across from each other after ordering our drinks. The shop was exquisite inside and uniquely designed. Origami flowers all different types and colours hung from the ceiling really brightening up the room. Me and Charles both looked content in each others company as I clutched my coffee cup occasionally taking a small sip. And for some reason we couldn't keep our eyes off each other.
"What are you staring at?" I laughed lightly
He narrowed his eyes realising I'd caught him completely off guard.
"I'm staring at you"
"Funny. I meant why are you staring at me?"
He shrugged taking a swig from his cup "Just realised how much I've missed you over the past two months. It hasn't been the same without you"
As much as I tried to stop it I couldn't help but grin at him "you have such a soft spot for me"
"You have no idea" He muttered.
"Well I suppose I've missed you too even if those two months were quite peaceful"
A real laugh escaped him as he chucked a napkin at my forehead "You suppose? Here I was about to tell you that I had a lot of time to think whilst we was apart and i realised how important you are too me"
The way he was instantly honest nearly sent me toppling. I didn't know what to say. His words hadn't made sense at first. But when they did I was left speechless. All I could do was gaze at him in despair. And he'd noticed that. So to save me from saying anything he gestured for me to drink up so we could get back to the hotel.
Grand beach hotel. That was the name of the place we happened to be staying in. And when he pulled up to a more discrete carpark I gazed up out the window at the tall staggered white building before me, Whilst Charles busied himself taking the keys out the ignition and rolling down his window to pass them to the valet that was approaching.
"Is it possible to wait a second sir I'm just waiting to hear back on the parking situation around the corner"
"Of course take your time"
I turned my head back towards Charles who had dropped back against his seat unbuckling his seatbelt. So I tried to do the same only my seatbelt had suddenly jammed itself.
"Here let me, sometimes it takes some force" Charles said as he slowly leant his body across me to attend to it. His hand brushed softly against mine that was casually placed on the armrest separating us. Probably for reasons like this. I didn't know what to do, where to look or what to bloody think. My mind was doing cartwheels, my heart had left my body and I was just left holding my breath hoping it'd be over quickly.
I could immediately sense a change of energy in the air. Like a light switch. Instant. I could see the desire coming from his eyes when he eventually popped the seatbelt out it's socket and raised his face to look at me. His breath tickled my lips as he spoke making my heart race even faster then it already was.
"I'm sorry I needed to lean over to-"
"Charles.." I only realised then I was whispering as his name fell out my mouth. This cannot be happening to us again.
"I've thought about you everyday since Bahrain Luce" His words were like poison going down my throat. Warm and smooth. But deadly at the same time "I know you probably don't wanna hear it after what I told you but I just..I needed to say it"
"We agreed Charles.."
His hand suddenly dropped from my waist which he was holding securely to balance himself, to my thigh giving it a gently squeeze "Luce you don't understand how hard this is for me" he looked away for a second before drawing my eyes back to him "I need you, I didn't wanna admit it. But I have to"
"Don't say it if you don't mean it" I was breathless. The feeling was intense like I'd been seriously winded. Why was he saying all this now? It was it just lust taking over?
"Oh but I do..every..single..word" he murmured slowly. Very slowly. For a second I could see him struggle with himself and I felt that at any point then he would back off and stop. But instead his lips found my earlobe and his hand continued to graze up my thigh, his fingers tracing invisible patterns on my hot skin "Don't you feel it?"
I physically couldn't hold my body upright and my head dropped heavily back against the headrest "Mhmm I do" I bit on the inside of my cheek to muffle any moans trying to escape.
"Then give into me" He whispered, his lips were just centimetres from mine. I was craving it. I was craving him. But maybe some desires are better left untouched? Right?
"We're going to hurt each other" I whispered, slowly biting my lip from his touch, it was intoxicating. It was fucking good. It was obvious lust had taken over everything at that point. The games had begun.
"I'm willing to risk it" Charles whispered back, his lips brushed against mine as he initiated the kiss finally. It was soft at first, but quickly deepened as I felt both of our emotions spiral out of control. His hand had found the outside of my already wet panties as he stroked me softly.
I couldn't help but moan into his mouth. I had to let it out I had to let him know I wanted this. I needed this. But I couldn't help but feel anger at the same time.
"I hate you" My words came out hot and seductively, I dug my nails into his shoulders to fight the feeling of intense pleasure.
"But you love it" He groaned against my lips before releasing himself from them, just enough to look into my eyes. He ran his thumb across my bottom lip just like he'd done in Bahrain, leaving a trail of electricity in its wake "I want you now. In the hotel room, against the window, in the shower. I don't care"
I was left fucking speechless. I'd officially gone into standby mode. No words could've been said but also I couldn't even think of the ones to even say to that. Was I really about to turn down the opportunity?
A small knock on the window beside Charles yanked him away from me, it was the valet instructing Charles it was all clear for him to hand over the keys. Instead of waiting around I practically threw myself out the car, Charles climbed out a minute later making minimal eye contact with me as he grasped my bag in his hand making his way into the lobby. Me cautiously following behind.
The receptionist greeted us with a smile, I could feel Charles standing close behind me as I leant purposefully over desk to begin checking in. He cleared his throat slightly causing a smirk to creep into my smile. I'd got him right where I wanted.
I too could play games.
Or so I thought. After receiving my hotel key and room number we silently approached the elevator stepping inside. He placed himself close behind me pressing his chest into my back. The scent coming from him was strong. Masculinity and arousal. And it was driving me wild.
"Room number?"
Fuck I couldn't help but smirk to myself. I was loving this all I bit to much "is that any of your business?"
"It is" He whispered harshly into my ear "so you're gonna tell me" he reached around me to push the button for my floor. He'd only overheard that much.
I sunk my teeth into my key that dangled from my mouth "or what" I uttered quietly. His hands found my hips whilst his lips had found my neck nipping at it softly "Or I'll take you right here, right now"
The desire was cut short as the elevator hoisted to a stop and the doors sprung open onto my floor. I was on a new level of confidence. A high i had never felt before. I felt cocky and I felt like being a flirt and not holding back for once.
"No you wont"
My hips swayed narrowly as I moved myself off him and out the doors. He was quick on my heel as I made my way down the silent hallway, I knew he was becoming impatient with me. But I wanted to see him completely lose his patience. I wanted to be punished by him.
And I was. His hand gripped my waist tugging me into a quiet corner as he threw me up against the wall. Those green eyes I loved so much. Were black. Charcoal black.
"Don't fucking test me Luce"
"No" I said forcefully "don't fucking test me Charles"
Our desire for each other was palpable and the heat between the small space separating us was thick and hot. Fuck it. My lips crashed against his demandingly and hungrily. I plunged my teeth into his lip steering a slight moan from him. He pushed me against the wall harder, his lip drawing blood from my bite "I'm not scared of you"
He should've been.
My dress has ridden up my thighs exposing the black laced thong I had on underneath. The fact we was in public drove me crazy, I wanted every inch of him right there and then. My body cried for him. His hips were positioned just right against mine, so when he grabbed my leg lifting it up against his side I could feel him growing against the sensitive flesh between my legs.
"Let me destroy you Luce, body and soul"
I couldn't think straight. There was clusters of things I wanted to say back in response but couldn't. Id completely shut down. The only thing I could do was moan from his touch that was dampening me more.
"Even after everything you still want me" He spoke unmercifully against my lips "tell me I'm wrong"
It felt like a slap in the face. Even after everything. Like I was stupid enough to still want him. Still love him. I could feel my legs begin to buckle beneath me as his hand fell between my legs. I was ready to collapse from his kisses. His touches. Fuck you Charles.
"You're wrong I don't want you"
"Am I?"
Low and hushed his words began to taunt me. He wanted to me cave in. Admit it. Everything. And when his fingers eventually touched the dampness between my legs I was seriously going to "because it feels like you want me just as much as I want you. So admit it Luce"
What a fucking prick.
The desperation for a release was strong, the need to hesitate was next to nothing. I couldn't exactly hide from this much longer "I want you" I whispered.
That was enough confirmation for him to continue further and the second I felt his fingers slid into me. It was game over.
"You want this?"
I arched my back trying to grasp every last sensation. I was desperate, a fucking mess. My body was practically begging for him and all I could do was moan "I do" His fingers were nestled deep inside me thrusting them in and out, finding my body's rhythm as he captured my lips over and over again.
He was a drug to me and he knew this. Everything he did and said drove me insane. So of course he'd play on that "Say you want me Luce" he whispered against my mouth. I tried my hardest to resist but with his hand between my legs making me feel like a slut.
I think you'd cave in too.
"Admit it" He'd found a steady pace that was already causing my vision to blur, I was losing control and I was losing it fast "admit you want this"
It was the sudden moan of pleasure from my throat that didn't shock me when I heard it "I do want you"
I couldn't lie. It was like his touch was a lie detector and I was a victim. My body responded over and over to him. I couldn't lie. And just that quickly he had pulled away from me grabbing my key out my hand, dangling it teasingly in front of my face.
"Inside now"
With a final push he'd unlocked the door before gently pushing me inside, he was sealing a deal we'd silently made since inside his car.
Sex.
