    “Saturday is the big day. You gonna get a win for me , Angel?” He crouched down in front of the table, and in front of her chair, resting his arm casually on the arm of her chair.
    She leaned forward and whispered in his ear so only he could hear. “I just might do that. How lucky do you feel birthday boy?”
    She stood and patted his cheek. “Let me get my shoes on and I’ll let you buy me a burger before I have to suit up.”
    His pulse jumped and he must have looked stunned because Rage belted out laughing, slapping his knee and pointing. “Damn, Dakota. Put your tongue back in your mouth man. You’re drooling in front of everyone. And, that’s my sister…you better keep yourself in check man.”
    Dakota gave him a goofy grin saying, “This has to be the best birthday ever!” He stood up and shook hands with Vito as Angel came out of her trailer with her flip flops on, taking his hand and dragging him away from her family.
    “Sorry if Rage was giving you hell. He can be a real pain sometimes.”
    “Nah, Rage is cool. Besides, he’s your big brother. I kind of expect him to give me hell for drooling over his sister.”
    Angel’s surprised laughter warmed him more than sunshine. She was even more beautiful when she let go of her hard exterior.
    “Drooling over me huh? Well, thank you…I think.” Hooking her arm in his, she led him to the vendor and ordered a cheeseburger, french fries and iced tea. He doubled the order and paid for it, moving them to the side to wait for their order. She smelled like coconut and honey, a soft scent but it suited her.
    “You know, I’ve tried to talk to you for a while now. When I was getting all the work done on my bike you barely spared me a glance. You kinda bruised my ego.” Dakota gave her what he thought was his charming grin and she laughed, pushing his chest with the palm of her hand.

    Angel’s heart was racing overtime. He smelled like Burberry cologne and hint of male sweat from being out in the sun. It was intoxicating and she could hardly keep from swaying closer to him to breathe in his scent. God if he caught her sniffing him she would never be able to look him in the eye again. That would be a shame since he was the first man that really grabbed her attention since she discovered her ex had cheated on her when she was away racing nine months ago.
    Dakota picked up the sack of food and Angel grabbed her cup of iced tea, weaving through the crowd of fans that were gathering around her. Politely she said hello to them but Dakota got in between her and push of people, smoothly getting her back toward her RV where Rage stood and opened the door, ushering her inside.
    “Sorry about that. Sometimes I can go around unnoticed , but I guess that’s not the case today. I hope you don’t mind eating in here.” Angel set her drink on the table and flipped the fan on.
    “No it’s cool, babe. I don’t mind at all. In fact I’m glad we have a little privacy. It’s hard to have a conversation when there are thirty people pushing to get close to you.” He grinned at her, giving her that wink that made her knee’s go weak.
    “Yeah, I guess that can be a turn off to have to watch someone get attention like that huh?” She smirked at him . That snarky little grin on her face made her look a little bratty, but in all honesty, it just made her sexier.
    “No, it isn’t a turn off. It’s actually kinda hot. Well, except when some of th ose guys were grabbing at you. I gotta admit that made me want to bust some heads.” He took a big bite of his cheeseburger and avoided her gaze.
    Throwing her head back, Angel laughed and tossed a french fry at him. “Oh stop it. They weren’t grabbing at me. And so what if they were? Why would that give you the right to be possessive?”
    Dakota shrugged, still not quite believing he was here, in Angel’s trailer, eating cheeseburgers and getting hit in the forehead with her french fry. He picked the discarded
