When the right moment finally arrived, I struck swiftly, cutting past Tripp in a sudden burst of raw power, overtaking Axle just seconds before the finish. I crossed the line with both of them trailing behind me, their curses and laughter blending into the roar of the crowd and the surge of my own triumph.
Aubrey was already waiting, screaming my name and jumping in excitement. I climbed from the car and didn’t slow my pace until she was in my arms, lifting her easily off the ground and kissing her deeply. The heat of her mouth against mine burned away every thought except one—mine.
A throat cleared loudly behind us, followed by Axle’s amused voice. “Break it up, Blitz. Let the rest of us losers save some dignity.”
I grinned at him unapologetically, scooping Aubrey higher into my arms as I turned toward our car. “Sorry, man. Celebration’s not over yet. My old lady and I got plans.”
Her laughter vibrated against my chest as we exchanged whispered “I love yous,” and I carried her toward privacy. Walking away from the noise, I realized this life we’d built together—the love, the family, and even the danger—was far better than anything I’d ever imagined. I’d fought for it, bled for it, and now, with Aubrey wrapped tightly in my arms and our future brighter than ever, I knew the best was yet to come.
