For a moment, it seemed as though time had stopped and my soul was yearning to break free from the cage I had placed a piece of myself in, yielding myself away from Eryx being able to see the portion of my conscious I had hidden away from ever seeing, something I vowed to never show to anyone, to be quite frank.

I could see concern prevalent in Eryx's eyes as he stared back at me, his hands pressed firmly against my arms, holding me in my place, waiting for me to open my mouth and share the piece of myself that yet I was somewhat afraid to share with him. Eryx then rests his left finger against my chin, lifting it as he leans his head down, his lips inches away from mine.

"Whatever you are hiding from me, I will learn the truth. I will not stop at nothing to know every little thing you have managed to hide from me".

I close my eyes as I feel his lips make way to the right side of my face, and my nostrils begin to flare. "I might not be able to do that.., share what your soul has been seeking from me to give to you". Butterflies form in the pit of my stomach as he wraps his arms around my torso.

"I have all the time in the world. I spent five years traveling through every city, state, continent, and country, trying to find you. Do you honestly think I will give up on you easily as you have done me".

I opened my eyes suddenly at his statement as I became angry at his words. "You do not get to do that. Make me feel guilty for leaving you. You gave me no other choice, so I took it", I pressed my pink acrylic nail against his chest hoping it would leave a mark for insulting me. Eryx grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on my wrist that was cuffed to his.

"I can do whatever I want Cherie. When it comes to you I will stop at nothing to ensure that you are loved and properly cared for". I am taken aback by his words for a brief moment, as I am about to respond once more, Zyran clears his throat breaking up the intimate Eryx and I shared just now, causing me to remove his hands around me.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys, but my men need to get rid of the body. The smell of death always bothers me, I don't about you guys but I hate the pungent and sour smell of a dead body".

I giggle a bit at Zyran's sarcastic remark as Eryx places his hand over mine, and we both move to the left side of the room, near the vacant wall as he stands in front of me, hindering me from seeing the deceased man I have killed on the floor.

Just as the men have managed to remove the man from the room, Eryx decides to remove himself from standing directly in front of me. Zyran then walks over to the both of us with a serious expression covering his face, "I had no idea you knew how to hold a gun, or even have the balls to kill someone Verena. Who are you, and what happened have you done to my sister-in-law", Zyran says with a smirk replacing the firm look that covered his face seconds ago.

"There are a lot of things I know how to do, that you two are not privy about", I glance over at Eryx in the corner of my eye, "It just seems as though now I am a focal point for everyone to center their attention on all of a sudden".

Zyran stares at me for a moment as if he is pondering what to say next. He notices the tension that has plagued the room for the past several minutes and decides to change the subject of the conversation altogether.

"Are you up for speed racing on the beach".

At the mention of racing, I immediately become excited at the thrill of getting behind a car once more and releasing so much-needed steam.

"Of course", "No", Eryx and I say at the same time, I roll my eyes not even surprised that he would even attempt to block me from me doing something that would be quite entertaining and enjoyable for me.

I do not hold back before I twist my neck around, glaring up at Eryx, and raising my voice.

"I am so fucking tired of you trying to micromanage every little thing I do. You wanted me back here, you got your wish. I am not going to be treated as if I am a small child who needs permission for everything I want to do. I have managed quite well without your assistance these past few years, have I not Mr. Vallea", I say firmly not breaking eye contact with Eryx as his glare matches mine.

He growls, and I can feel his hand wrapping around mine, "You are fucking pushing this shit, Verena. I will let you have it, this time", I smile inwardly as Zyran motions for us to follow him out of the door. Just as I am about to take a step forward, Eryx presses his lips against my ear, with his hand around my hip.

"The next time you raise your voice at me. I am going to strip you naked, bend your ass over, and fuck you until you plead for me to let you cum on my dick".

His words cause my cheeks to turn a plush red and my stomach drops, tiny needles of goosebumps let up my arms, as his hand firmly wraps around my neck sliding a back a bit as I gasp looking up into his lust-filled eyes. I smirk as I tease him sliding my tongue out as his eyes follow its movement and wet my dry lips before placing back inside of my mouth.

"Too bad, I am not interested in fucking you, even if you were the last man walking this earth. I wouldn't dare allow you to even get a taste of me".

Eryx's grip on my neck tightens, "We shall see about that Cherie" Before he lets go of the grasp he has around my neck I feel the warmth of his body leave mine as we follow Zyran out of the cold, vacant room.

The sunlight warms my body as we make it outside and seven cars ranging from a Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+, SSC Tuatara, Hennessey Venom F5, Rimac Nevera, McLaren Speedtail, Koenigsegg Regera, and an Aston Martin Valkyrie are parked in front of the warehouse. Zyran waves his arm out, "Pick your car, Verena, what monster do you want to take for a spin".

My eyes flicker to each car sitting in front of me, I grab hold of Eryx's hand, urging him to move forward, as I place my hand on the hood of the Bugatti Chiron Supersport 300+. Zyran whistles loudly at my selection, "Great choice, I would have picked that car as well, but I will settle for my second option which is the McLaren Speedtail".

Zyran then removes the car keys from his pocket and before he can place them in mine, Eryx snatches them out his hand. "I got it from here little bro", he says as he places his hand against my lower back as we walk to the driver's side of the car.

"What are you doing, give me the damn keys", as one of Zyran's men carried two black helmets in their hands before giving one to Eryx and then me.

"No Cherie, he plops down in the driver's seat before he reaches for me, taking me by surprise as he places me against his lap, with my back pressed against the front of his body.

"I can manage to drive on my own, there is no need for me to be sitting on your lap", I say as Eryx shuts the door and helps me to place the helmet on my head before he places his on. I take the car keys out of his hand and turn the ignition as the engine roaring causing my heart to pound as Eryx places the seatbelt around us.

My foot lightly taps the gas pedal as glance over out the window to my left to see that Zyran has settle into the McLaren Speedtail.

"You ready sis", Zyran yells out to me as he plays the gas pedal, and the engine purrs to life. I nod, as I grin covering my face, as Eryx braces his legs on each side against me as my cuffed wrist along with his right hand touches the steering wheel. Eryx's leans his body forward as try to settle against his lap. Eryx stops me from moving any further. "I advise you to stop moving before I fuck you right here and now"

I feel his dick getting hard against my ass, and my mouth suddenly becomes dry. I almost miss the green flag Arlo raises high in the air before he raises it down the middle as he stands in between the cars before Eryx shifts the driving gears to Drive as I press my right foot hard on the gas pedal as a surge of adrenaline rushes done my spine as take off riding the Bugatti Supersport 300+ seeing the speedometer changes from 0mph to 100mph in a matter of seconds.

The arsenal base becomes an immediate blur after several seconds as Zyran speeds up and begins swinging the car to the left side as he makes a donut, swerving the car in a circular motion, as I begin to move the car in the opposite direction as Eryx and I shift the steering wheel to the right side, before we straightened the car back up, following the direction of the arrows of signs leading to the beach.

I push the gas pedal to 200mph, as I drive the car against the edge of the water, creating a huge wave of sand and water that hits the side of the car. Eryx then takes hold of the steering wheel as Zyran speeds ahead of us reversing the car and manages to drive backward, looking in the rearview mirror until we make back up to where Zyran is driving before I reverse the car turning the car horizontally allowing the car to move sideways, as I press foot off the gas pedal for a moment, slowing down for several seconds, as Zyran struggles to catch up, and then once he almost speeding beside me do I shift gears once more before turning the car vertically again before waving my hand out passing Zyran as I stop the car where a large beach house is sitting in front of us.
