“That you never used.” Jesus, I need to shut up, and why the hell am I caring so much about her hurt feelings? The whole point of me being with her is just a coverup for me to win the bet.

“I’ll get it fixed for you,” Asher says, smoothing over my careless words.

Eden looks between us, her mouth opening and closing several times before she pinches them together. “It’s not for you to fix.”

I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose. “We’re doing it anyway, and we’re getting revenge for what they did.”

“Who are they?”

“Rivals.”

Eden hooks her thumbs beneath the straps over her chest.

“After I win this race,” I say, “you’re sucking my cock as a reward.”

Eden’s head whips toward me. Her gaze flicks to the back seat, where Asher sits in silence.

I don’t have to look at my brother to know he’s looking at me with the same shocked expression Eden wears.

“What?” Eden gasps, then shakes her head. “Not with your brother here.”

“So if he wasn’t here, you’d suck your stepbrother’s cock?” I smirk at her. “You are fucking filthy.”

She scowls at me. “I don’t need the reminder.”

I face forward and grab the shifter. “Don’t worry, baby. He loves watching.” I glare at my brother in the rearview mirror. “Isn’t that right, Asher?”

“Are you out of your mind?” Eden says.

Asher just scowls at me with his lips flattened and nostrils flared.

He needs to get over his jealousy. He needs to see that it’s better if we share her. We can give her whatever she needs individually and together. If I push him enough, maybe he’ll see that. Hopefully this nudges him in the right direction.

Maybe sharing her isn’t a bad idea. I need to warm her up to the idea of being with Asher as well. He can’t keep hiding that he’s fucking her, too.

And I don’t plan on sticking around for the relationship.

Katie counts down with her fingers, then tosses her shirt. Before it hits the ground, tires peel as I thrust forward and break away from the lineup of cars.

Eden sinks into the seat, and inertia hits all of us. We drift around a corner onto a different street to take us toward the finish line, with the Walker brothers’ Mustang following close beside us.

I smirk and glance at them from the corner of my eye.

Right as they drift, two tires fly off the frame. I snicker and stomp on the gas, then peer at the rearview mirror just in time to watch their car lose control and roll several times before stopping.

“Assholes,” I mutter.

The rest of the race is a breeze, and I blow through the finish line. A lot of the cars can’t keep up with my Camaro and skills. People hesitate and bite their tongues when they hear the name Astar. I’ve made my own empire in this world. They don’t see me as my father’s son but as Elijah Astar, The Merciless Twin.

I find an empty parking lot in the shopping mall where we won’t be interrupted.

I put the car in park and shift in my seat.

“Go ahead, birdie,” I say. “Take my cock out.”

I’ve been hard this whole time with the promise of Eden’s lips wrapped around my dick. Pre-cum weeps from the tip, and I don’t give a single shit that I’m making a fucking mess in my pants.

Eden glances at Asher.
