"Here."

I saw Jasper throw Edward the keys to his Vanquish and grin.

Jerk.

"Ok who calls first race?" that was Emmett. He was enjoying this too much.

Giant jerk.

"I do. Or me and Bella do." I glared at him.

"Alright. Against who?"

"Carlisle and Esme of course." He smirked over to the refined couple leaning against Carlisle's Mercedes. Hearing the challenge, they both stood up and Carlisle put his arm around his wife's waist.

A little lower than necessary ,I think. Well whatever. I was in no mood to be complying.

"We accept." Carlisle pulled his keys out of his pocket. A impressive feat considering how tight they were.

"Shall we?" Edward gestured towards the cars, all politeness. But I could see the competitive gleam in his eye. He wanted to win.

Oh joy. Well at least I can't die.

*********************************************************************************************************

I sat in the passenger seat of Edward's Vanquish and pouted.

He is going to get it for this.

I glared at Edward as he got into the driver's seat.

"Why couldn't you have bought me another car or something? At least THAT wouldn't have been as awful."

Edward's eyes lit up.

"Can I? I've been wanting to buy you something like a Mustang. Not as fast but still classy-"

"ABSOLUTELY NOT. You are only allowed to have one torture day a year, no a decade. And you just used this one up today so you better enjoy it." I threatened.

"Well, since this is my day to torture you, can you at least pretend to enjoy it? This is a big thing for my family and they are doing it for you."

"No. They tricked me, they deserve it." I knew I was being stubborn.

I didn't care.

"Please. For me?"

I sighed. When he asked like that I couldn't say no. They were trying to have fun and i was being spoiled and ruining it for them. I was starting to feel guilty now.

No fair. He fights dirty.

"Fine. But you owe me one."

"Is that a promise?" He grinned and placed his hand on my thigh, tracing small circles with his index finger.

I stopped breathing.

"Well...I...just....yes...I ho-ope so-o" I was breathless. I couldn't take my focus off of his hand.

I could feel his hand through the leather of my pants so much it was like it wasn't there. I craved his touch. And it felt so NICE. I arched my back a little and gave a barely audible gasp. I heard his breath intake sharply and I looked up at him.

His eyes were pitch black with arousal. I stared back with equal lust.

His grip tightened on my thigh and I moaned a little.

I NEEDED MORE.

Leaning over I brought my face to his neck and breathed deep. He smelled like heaven. It was the only way to describe it.

I heard a soft growl building in his chest and sighed.

At the rate we were going, we were going to kiss and if he kissed me in the current stage I was in we would be doing something I would like but i'm not so sure the CULLEN CLAN would appreciate. At least not right now. So reluctantly, I leaned away.

"Edward. The race?"

With a groan he leaned back against his seat, closed his eyes and adjusted his pants.

"Oh. Right. Of course."

He took a few, shaky breaths and opened his eyes. He looked uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry. I'm fine now. You just have no idea what you do to me."

"Probably the same thing YOU do to ME."

He laughed, back in control. His face was full of cheer as he turned on the engine. I reached over and put on my seatbelt.

He stared at me like I was insane.

I still don't care.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"You are one strange girl Bella Swan." he replied.

"Cullen."

He smiled and took my hand in his.

"Shall we race?"

I muffled my groan and tried to smile. It felt more like a wince.

Hurray.

"Edward, Bella are you ready?"

Rosalie was standing between Edward's Vanquish and Carlisle's Mercedes. She looked at us for our answer.

"Yes Rose, we're ready. To win." He gave her his crooked smile and she rolled her eyes. Emmett guffawed loudly from the sidelines. Edward glared at him.

"Carlisle? Esme?"

"Of course Rose dear."

Esme leaned out of her window and blew us a kiss.

"Have fun losing loves."

I stared open mouthed at Esme while Edward burst out laughing. Kind, gentle, soft Esme had completley changed for this night out. She was dressed in the same outfit as me, Alice and Rose but it made her look so much different. She finally looked like a VAMPIRE. Her motherly features were still there but they had been masked by pure competition. She grinned evilly at us and wiggled her fingers at everyone at the side lines. Alice giggled into Jasper's shoulder while he softly smiled. Emmett looked like a mirror image of myself.

Hot mama! Esme's got a wild side!

I shook my head as Edward revved his engine loudly, entranced in the idea of beating his father. Carlisle's engine just purred silently along side us. His silent confidence was intimidating.

Edward reached over and put a CD into his radio and pressed play. Loud techno started blaring from the speakers.

"Techno?" I called over the music.

"I am a man of many music's."

"Ready? Set? Well, I don't care if you are or aren't becuase you have to GO!"

Edward slammed the gas.

If I wasn't a vampire I would've been thrown into my seat, but as it was, I gripped my seat so tight I was afraid i'd ripped the expensive leather seat cover.

We sped down the stretch of pavement at an incredible speed. My head felt light and I thought I was going to hyperventilate. But my sporadic breathing surprised me by turning into something else. A giggle started to bubble up from my stomach and was soon escaping my throat. The rush of adrenaline that was pulsing through my veins was incredible. It felt almost as good as running.

It felt wonderful to go fast!

But all to soon we were slowing down as we neared the end of the strip and Edward let out a shout of triumph.

"Yeah! We did it Bella we won!" He grabbed me and pulled me in for a scorching kiss. Me, still coming down from my adrenaline high, eagerly reached for the next high like a heroin-addict. I battled with him for dominance of the kiss as I heard Carlise's car come to a stop behind ours. My tongue traced his bottom lip and I let out a REAL moan, turned on beyond all belief. This feeling was amazing and i couldn't wait to get more. But all too soon the kiss ended and Edward was opening his door to get out.

I opened my door and leaned forward to get out. I heard a ripping noise and looked down. I had torn the seatbelt in my forgetfullness. I frowned.

Oh well. We can replace it.

"Congratulations Edward, Bella. That was some fine driving. I have to say that we had a wonderful time competing. I'm afraid Esme is a little dissappointed though."

We looked to Esme who was leaning against her car door, pouting. But we she noticed us staring she smiled brightly.

"Congratualtions dears. I'm so proud of you. Bella, love, I do believe me and you shall have to race against each other. It will be so much fun, don't you think?"

I grinned stupidly and cried "DEFINATELY! THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY!"
