grabbed her hand and dragged her over to the sidelines, where they waited with the other girls, his arm never leaving her shoulders.
    What Kaitlyn didn’t know was that Carter was having an internal dilemma.
    He was really into Kaitlyn, and anyone who wanted to hurt her needed the lights punched out of them, but he was getting sick of her. She never left his place, although he knew her house was way nicer.
    Although she put up with his hot and cold moments.
    But he wanted a night off from their relationship. Was that so wrong?
    For years, he’d been a player. Since he was fourteen, it had been a different girl every night. That was four long years of sleeping around. Kaitlyn was his first serious relationship.
    And he didn’t know how to handle it.
    So, selfishly, he considered losing on purpose. There was one girl in his neighbourhood who had been eyeing him up recently, and he quite liked the look of her. If he lost Kaitlyn, that w ould get rid of her for a night, and allow him to hook up with that girl.
    Only, Kaitlyn would belong to someone else for a night, and he couldn’t trust that someone not to hurt her. There was also the fact that he would lose eleven grand, too. What was a guy to do?
    Fifteen minutes later, Kaitlyn watched Marcus and Carter slide around the corner. Their tyres squealed on the road. She watched as they drifted and revved their engines, mentally blocking out the sound of the crowd. She saw the grin on Marcus’ face, and the scowl on Carter’s.
    They were less than one hundred meters from the finishing line, and time seemed to slow as she watched them come to the finish. She held her breath nervously, waiting for someone to cross the finish line.
    She couldn’t breathe. She felt nauseous. Whoever won the race determined who she went home with tonight.
    Please,   she prayed silently.   Please, let him win .

 
 
 
Chapter 2
     
    Carter won , just as Kaitlyn had hoped . “ Yes! ” she screamed, jumping up and down. She hugged T-Man tightly then ran over to her boyfriend, who was getting out of his car. She jumped at him and wrapped her legs around his waist, kissing him full on the mouth.
    “ Well, this is surprising, ” Carter whispered after breaking the kiss. “ I don’t think I’ve seen you like this in a long time. ”
    Kaitlyn shrugged happily . “ I’m proud of you, ” she said. “ And I just wanted to let all those girls know who you belong to. ”
    Carter smirked and she climbed down from around his waist.
    “ I almost forgot, ” he said wonderingly . “ I won, so I get all of the girls now. ”
    She snorted. “ Like you’d ever forget that little detail, Carter. ”
    She grabbed his hand and walked over to T-Man, who was busy trying to control the angry losers of the race.
    “ T-Man, can we grab the loot and go? ” she asked casually. The other racers growled at her use of the term ‘loot’.
    “ Yeah, Katie, in a sec. I’ll take you home in my car, ” he replied.
    “ No, she can come home with me, ” a deep, accented voice announced.
    “ Not fucking likely, ” Carter growled. “ She’s mine, not yours. ”
    Kaitlyn turned around, only to see Carter scowling at Marcus, and Marcus casually leaning against his car and smiling. He looked like he didn’t care that he’d just lost his piece of arm candy to his rival.
    “ Oh, but she is, ” Marcus replied easily. “ You see, unlike you, I actually pay attention to her. When we were together, I paid attention to her, and didn’t even look at another girl. Unlike you. ”
    Carter was unconsciously clenching his hands tighter and tighter, until Kaitlyn was forced to unclench them for him.
    “ Relax, ” she said. “ He’s just winding you up. ”
    Marcus sighed. “ I really wish that were true, but for the first few days, you complained non-stop about this douchebag, and how he wasn’t a good boyfriend. He made you cry, you said. ”
    “ Shut it, Marcus, ” she snapped. “ My life is none of your
