It was early. Lightning was careful not to wake Sally up. Letting her sleep in as she wished. H got dressed, quick breakfast, cleaned up then headed across the hall to Cruz's door. He took a deep breath. He was going to have a firm talk with Cruz. Lifting his fist and knocking. Knock, knock. "Cruz.." He called softly. Lightning turned and glanced back at his own room door. He sighed. He really wished Sally would have come with him, but she needed the rest anyway. He heard Cruz's door squeak open and suddenly he was tugged into the room by his jacket! "WOAH!" He yelped and the door shut quick! He felt a swift kick to the back of his left ankle, he lost balance, felt a hand reach behind his back and twist him around when THUD! His chest and knees hit the floor then his right arm was curled behind his back!. "FUCKING SHIT!" He shouted!

Cruz sat with her knee in his lower back. "Sorry.. I was taking some self defense classes." Lightning dropped his head to the floor and whined, "Why?…" Cruz shrugged then leaned into his ear, "Wanna fuck?" His eyes widened! "No, Cruz.. We need to talk." He explained. Cruz only pulled his arm back more. This hurt a bit and made Lightning growl, "Get off me." Cruz snickered and asked, "Don't you like this kind of stuff." Lightning sighed and gave up. "How are you so strong?" He asked. Cruz finally lifted her knee, pulling arm around and grabbing his hip, twisting him around onto his back where she pulled his wrists above his head. Pinning him down beneath her on the ground. "Fine. Talk." She ordered firmly.

Fuck. Lightning stared up at her with surprise. She was kind of hot when she took control like that. Wait! NO! "We can't do this. I am married." "Didn't stop her. Or you before for that matter.." Cruz reminded. Lightning's brows lowered as he scolded, "I mean it, Cruz. It was one time." "Three, actually." She corrected in a teasing tone. Lightning had enough and wrapped his legs around her hips, using his body weight to twist and switch places. He now pinning her to the ground and sitting above her. "Stop." He warned. Cruz only smiled and asked, "Or what? You'll quit? Something tells me you're not here for just the racing." She added. Lightning saw what she was doing. She was trying to get him riled up. "It's not gonna work, Cruz." He snapped. Cruz lifted her knees up. Getting her legs in a spread open positions.

Rubbing her knees over his hips while he held her hands on each side of her head. Lightning blushed a bit. She noticed that. "If you really don't want to, that's.. That's fine.." "I have Sally.." "Yeah, I noticed you brought her along.." Cruz muttered. Fuck. Lightning sighed. Looking away a moment and thinking. Hell fucking yes he wanted her! Cruz was so willing and unpredictable and young and tight and ready. Lightning looked back down at Cruz and staring into this beautiful brown eyes of hers. He could not resist. He leaned in and kissed her. The way she looked last night at dinner. She was absolutely stunning… her hair.. Her skin.. her eyes.. Everything about her was stunning!

Cruz moaned into his mouth. Lightning's tongue rolled around her mouth. Now it was something more. At first, he was revenge fucking Cruz. Using her body to help him get over the crap Sally had done with ben, but now? Now it was more… He wanted her.. he chose her.. He was having his own affair now.. And he just couldn't say no. Sally was his easy and safe place, but Cruz was his wild and unpredictable ball of excitement! And he yearned for this. The two of them making out intensely! Lightning thrusting his hips into her a bit. Cruz only moaning more. Lightning sat up and took off her shirt. Looking her breasts and nipples. Of course she wasn't wearing a bra. He quickly went back down on her. This time, his lips meeting her left nipple. Gently dancing circles around it with his tongue.

His breath sending chills through out her body. Cruz grabbed her hair. Pulling at her own hair in this fucking sexy way. Lightning's member was ready now. He wanted her body so badly. Lightning sat up then stood. "Kneel." He ordered. And like a little obedient whore, she did. Lightning freed his member, grabbed her hair and Cruz happily eloped his member. Lighting holding her hair tightly, keeping her head in place as he bean rocking his hips and fucking her mouth aggressively. Moaning a bit. Fuck she felty amazing. The way she rolled her tongue and moaned over his member. She was a needy little slut. She loved being fucked however he pleased. Cruz was so god dam willing.

Lightning let go of her hair and caressed the side of her face before grabbing her jaw firmly. It kind of hurt, but Cruz loved any pain that he caused her! He rocked faster. Fucking her deep into her that. He could hear her choke from time to time. He didn't care. He loved this. This was so much better than Sally. Fuck he hated that! But god dam.. The way Cruz sucked down on him and swallowed.. "MMM…" Lightning moaned as he thrusted his entire member into her mouth. Pushing Cruz's nose to his pelvis as he came inside her mouth! Cruz being the good little girl she was, swallowed every bit. Lightning let go of her jaw. She smiled up at him and let his member fall from her mouth. Lightning petting her head and praised, "Good girl.. Always such a good girl.."

Cruz in turn, licked the drops of cum and saliva from his member. Cleaning it off for him so lovingly. She enjoyed this. She didn't want to stop licking and sucking him. Lightning petting her head as she did. Just amazed by this woman. Honestly, Lightning couldn't remember the last time a woman was this obsessed with him. And he liked it! Finished. Or rather, satisfied. Cruz stood up and wiped her li[s with her thumb. "Now I'm ready for a few laps." She smiled. Then she pressed her palms to his chest and kissed the side of his neck. Lightning could not take it! He suddenly grabbed Cruz by the throat and pushed her back to the wall. Pressing her back against the wall and all this crazy woman could do was smile!

She was smiling at him! Lightning pressed his lips to hers. Not even caring of the taste of her mouth right nw. Cruz was nasty and made him want to do the nastiest things. Lightning and Cruz began making out aggressively. Cruz grabbing his member and stroking it. Lightning moaning into her mouth. Both just enjoying each others bodies. Cruz stopped and grabbed his shirt. It was on the floor in seconds! Lighting grabbed her breasts. Playing with them in his hands as Cruz removed her stretchy yoga like pants. Shimmying out of them and kicking them away. Wearing absolutely nothing now. Lightning grabbed her thighs and lifted them. Pressing her against the wall even more before his member pushed against her entrance.

God this was so hot. Cruz was sopping wet below. Already turned on and needing him inside her! Lightning didn't hesitate. He shoved into her honey hole. Thrusting into her body! Cruz snapped her head back against the wall, moaning and closing her eyes. She was sent to heaven by him! Lightning roughly thrusted in and out of her. He was going to explode so quickly! "Ooh… Cruz…" he moaned. Cruz dug her nails into the back of his neck. Holding onto him as he fucked her so roughly. She was going to feel this for days!. Lightning suddenly stopped, pulled out. Set her down and turned her around! Grabbing her by the hips and pushing back inside her! His member's full length rearranging Cruz's insides! At least, that's how it felt. Cruz whined and whimpered, "Fuck, yes.. Mr. M-McQueen.. It's so big.. I can feel every inch!" She moaned even more.

"Yeah, yeah.. Fuck me harder.." She begged. Lighting loved this! Lighting then grabbing her hair and pulling her up to his chest as he continued ricking his hips. Cruz reaching around and holding onto the sides of his thighs as he fucked her. The way his member was curling inside her.. "Oh god.. M-Mr.. McQueen.." Lightning couldn't take it! He was about to explode! But so was Cruz! He felt her suddenly tighten! And that did it for him! Lightning could not pull out and came inside her! Cum filling her hole. He could feel her insides sucking him tightly as she spasmed and she could feel every centimeter of his member pulse. Feeling his cum hit her insides he came so hard. Cruz's body shivering. Her legs shaking.

Lightning let her go gently. Cruz collapsed her palms into the wall in front of her. He was still inside her. Holding her by the hips. Both breathing and catching their breath, "Fuck.." Lightning growled. Then he pulled away. His member dropping from her area and cum fell to the floor from her hole. Oh fuck, he could not help but watch that. It was so hot. Seeing his cum drip from her sore and swollen and red area.. He fucked her good. Almost as if he were proud of himself for that. Cruz panted. Her face red and hot. Suddenly she moaned! Feeling Lightning behind her. His fingered spreading her entrance open as cum dropped from her body to the floor. "M… M-Mr…. McQueen…" She called.

Lightning removed his hands and as he put himself away asked, "Yea?." Cruz panted again before answering, "Do that again… I like feeling you spread me open.." Lightning could not help but smile. He reached between her aching legs and used his fingers to spread her walls open. Cruz instantly moaned. Her area so sensitive. Lightning realized what she liked. The sensation of being over the edge here. Cumming and then still having the attention her beautiful area desired. Lightning began rubbing her area. Sliding his cum all over her hot and swollen area. Cruz shivered a bit. Moaning, "Mr. McQueen… Oh fuck… I love the way you touch me.." The way she said his name. Oh god he loved her body.

He loved how she gave him such power over her. "Did you bring our toys I left with you?" He asked softly. Cruz nodded. Lightning pulled his hand away and asked, "Where are they?" Cruz swallowed nervously before answering "my room. Purple duffle bag with glitter. God she was young and weird. Lightning then reared back, SLAP! Across her ass! Cruz bit her lip. Keeping quiet. "Don't move." He ordered. Walking away and returning. "You are such a good girl for remembering to bring those along.. Did you play with yourself while I've been gone?" He asked. His hand rubbing her cum covered, heated hole. Cruz blushed and nodded. Lightning snickered and asked, "Did you use any of our toys?" She shook her head.

Lightning then pushed the small bullet like egg thing against her clit. Cruz remembered it! It was the vibrating thing from before! "This one is a bit more special.." he began to explain. "You have to be obedient and do exactly as I say." He added. Cruz nodded. Whimpered a bit. Then he turned it on. The buzzing and vibrations sent through her body! Cruz moaned a bit. Lightning then rubbed the vibrating toy up and down her area and clit. She just moaned as it sent such pleasure through her pelvis. Lightning held onto her hip with his other hand and explained, "This toy goes inside you… The vibrations can be felt more intensely that way…" "what!?" Cruz snapped. Lightning then pushed the toy against her clit. That made her shut up! "You trust me. I'm going to make sure you enjoy this." He assured.

Then pressing the toy against her hole. Cruz but her lips nervously. Lightning pushing the toy inside her slowly. Cruz moaned! "Oh fuck…" he moaned in such a sexual way! The vibrations just killing her! The toy popped inside her. The buzzing and vibrations just absolutely brutally pleasurable!!! "Mr. McQueen!" Cruz shouted! Lightning then rubbed her clit with his fingers. Cum and her own arousal juices were just pouring from her hole. All down her thighs. It was beautiful. Lightning leaned over her body. Cruz's hips and legs jolting time to time! "Mr! McQueen! It's to much!" She shouted! Her body wanting and needing to cum but it just wouldn't!!! "Fuck! Please!" She begged. Lightning then pushed two of his fingers inside her.

Softly speaking over her, "Calm down… Breathe.. I'll help you." Curling his fingers as the toy pushed in a bit deeper. Cruz panicked! What if it got stuck on there! "Mr. McQueen…" She whimpered nervously. She was getting super nervous. Lightning played around with his fingers. Working to find her special spot. Once she let out a moan that was deep and quiet while her legs buckled a bit. He knew he found it! Lightning continued to pull his fingers in and out. Curling them into that special place of hers while the toy was vibrating throughout her pelvis! "Ooooh… Fuck! Something is about to happen! Fuck it burns!" Cruz shouted! Lightning continued. She was soaking his entire hand with her arousal! Honestly, he didn't think a woman could get this fucking wet?

His wrist was wet, his had, the amount of liquid coming from her was unreal. But oh fuck, it only turned him on more. He'd never leave this woman. "Mr. McQueen! Oh god… god… Aaaahhh!" She shouted as something did happen! Her body spasmed and clenched around the toy and his fingers. Liquids poured from her area. She became so slick and wet as she orgasmed profusely! The best orgasm in her entire life! All thanks to Lightning McQueen! Lightning used his fingers to curl the toy and pull it out which only made her legs quake beneath her. Pulling it out and turning it off. Cruz's voice shook as she asked, "May I sit down… M-Mr… McQueen…" Lightning smiled proudly answering, "Of course, baby. You did amazing."

Cruz sighed with relief and collapsed to the floor right there. Completely exhausted! Panting. Alarmist shivering. Suddenly she felt a blanket over her. She looked up as Lightning knelt down and pulled her up. Picking her up with the blanket wrapped around her. She looked up at him with those brown eyes of hers. Staring. Surprised. Lightning gazed into her eyes. Smiling. Carrying her to the couch and laying her down. Brushing her hair out of her face. Cruz just kept staring at him. Just so in awe of how sweet he was after all of that! Lightning walked to the kitchen and grabbed a glass, pouring her some water and walking back. Sitting next to her and handing her the glass. "Was that too much?" He asked. Cruz shook her head then sipped the water.

But she was confused with the way he was acting. Cruz set the glass on the side table then nestled into him. Leaning her head over his lap. Lightning stared down at her. Cruz closing her eyes and resting. He couldn't help but smile. He pet her head. Brushing her hair as she lay there relaxing. Breathing. He sighed as he leaned his head back. Fuck. This was bad. He would rather stay with Cruz than return to Sally. He was happy and had fun and loved being around Cruz. Not that he just hated Sally, but this was enjoyable while being with Sally was slightly forcing himself to tolerate her. He still couldn't look at her like he use to. His head raced and blood rushed for Cruz. For Sally?… Not as much….

Lightning stood at the pits. Watching Cruz take a few practice laps from the podium. "Doing good. But ease up into your turns. You've been tight. You'll turn into the wall if you're not careful." He explained. Cruz was getting frustrated. She was so cute when she was frustrated. Cal walked up and watched a moment. Just watching Lightning coach Cruz through the laps. "Lightnin." He called. Lightning glanced back and smiled, "Hey, Cal." Then focusing back on Cruz. Cal walked up to the podium and said, "We need to talk." Lightning glanced down and raised a brow. Cal was serious. He had that serious expression on his face. Lightning sighed and nodded. Looking back at Cruz and speaking, "Alright. That's good for now. Bring her in."

Then took off his headset and hung it up as he stepped down. "What's up?" He asked his friend. Cal motioned for Lightning to follow him, so he did. The two walking though into the trailer parking and into the car trailer. Cal closed the door behind them and began, "So… I have a few concerns." "About?" "You. First Tex spoke with me. Then Meg and now… Man, I'm worried about you? Should you even be here right now?" He asked. Lightning didn't understand and asked, "What are you talking about?" Cal crossed his arms and snarled, "The drinking? Suicide? Sally had a fucking affair?!" Lightning frowned a bit. Ashamed, embarrassed.

Cal was worried, "Why didn't you talk to me?" Cal asked. Lightning shrugged, "I don't know… I was just… I wanted to be alone." "No, you didn't. You're like one of the most people persons I know! You are the party boy and an extrovert! What the hell, man!?" "Cal"-"Don't Cal me! We are friends! I'm going to help you if you got problems! Suicide!? Really!? What the hell!?" "Cal"-"No! Did you actually try and kill your self!?" Cal asked loudly. He was just hurt and mad. Lightning stared at his friend. Not sure if he were even aloud to answer at this point. Lightning sighed, "Not really.. I… I thought ab"-"You fucking thought about it!? Dammit, Lightnin. Why?" Cal asked. Lightning stared. Honestly, he didn't know. He was just so depressed and broken and the anxiety and tiredness. He just shrugged.

Cal rubbed his eyes over his head and only continued, "And now I learn Sally had an affair?… I mean… You told me, but I don't know.. I just.. I couldn't believe it but then Meg spoke with me and fuck!… What happened to you two?" Lightning crossed his arms answering, "I don't know.." "If I had known, I would have never asked or pushed about the baby like I did. I didn't know." "I know.. Sally and I were keeping it for a while… A secret I mean.. Just.. Worked out, I guess…" Lightning said with a frown. Cal stared. This was a lot for someone to go through. "I… Is this why you're drinking so much?…" "I'm not." "Sense when? You were drinking at every race, Lightnin." "We always have." "Not like that!" Cal snapped! Lightning looked away. He could use one by now. Lightning shook his head replying, "I just.. I was trying to get over the crap with Sally. I'm fine now." "Are you?" "Yes!" "Lightning!" Cal snapped his name. Lightning stared at Cal. Was he?…

Lightning sat on the couch in the trailer. Finally admitting, "No…." Cal stared a moment. Thinking before walking over and sitting next to his friend. "Are you still drinking?" "Not right now… Tempted to a few times.." "Don't do it. How are you and Sally? Really?…" "Really? Okay.. I forgive her.. She's broken right now.. I mean… I guess… I can't see her how I use to, but I'm trying.." Lightning admitted. Cal sighed and rubbed his head. "Lightnin… If things ever got so bad you wanted to die or drink yourself to sleep even… You call me, got it?" Lightning nodded. Cal patted Lightning on the back. Lightning felt the tears in his eyes. Cal saw them. "Lightnin… It's alright. You can talk to me.."

Lightning nodded and finally admitted it! "I can't stop… I can't stop destroying myself. If it's not alcohol, it's another thing.. I'm drowning. I'm drowning in this crap. I don't know how to get better or how to be happy. But I have to do something to keep myself distracted or these thoughts start coming into my mind. I don't understand why! And.. Racing is all I know. This is all I have left and it's a matter of time it's destroyed because of me…." he just whined and dropped his face into his hands. Cal sighed and assured, "I'm in charge of the team here. Long as you aren't drinking, I won't pull you out.. But the alcohol?.." "Oh it's bad, Cal… It's bad.. I just wanted Sally to hurt like I did and I slept with someone and now it's all fucked up." "It was one time right?" "No! That's the problem! I can't stop. If I stop, I'm gonna find another way to destroy myself.." Lightning admitted.

Cal stared. Lightning suddenly panicked! "You can't tell Sally! Don't tell Meg! She will tell Sally and th"-"Calm down. I get it.. Some things stay between us… I won't talk to Meg about anything we talk about here… I'd rather you tell me than bottle it up and drink yourself to death with guilt…" Lightning fell apart. Crying a bit. Cal sighed and brushed his hand over Lightning's back. This was bad. Lightning needed help. Right now, that help was just Cal being the friend he needed. No judging, no fighting.. Juts being here. Cal sighed saying, "You need to get help. Real help." "I'm not doing that. All doctors do is put me on medications… I'm tired of that. I always wind up feeling numb and fuzzy and can't think. No."

Lightning made that clear. He hated the way the medications made him feel. Cal stared. He understood a little, but… Not the same. He was desperate to try and get Lightning the help he needed without being too pushy. Cal thought about this and admitted, "I think you need to talk to a doctor. If all of this is true.. It's more than venting to a friend, Lightnin.. It sounds like you're an alcoholic and I'm worried… This self destructive behavior is going to hurt you and the people you love.." "It already has." Lightning growled, "I almost killed my own brother. I've hurt Sally, physically hurt her and I've wound up arrested over this and tore up my car. I'm… Im.. Better… But I feel myself going back and I know it's only a matter of time before I start trying to drink again.." "How long has it been sense you last drank?" Cal asked softly.

Lightning thought a moment before answering, "I think about.. Nearly two months… Nearly…" Cal sighed. He had no clue things were this bad. "Stay clean.. Please. I don't want to have to throw you off the team.. I don't want to see something happen to you.. Please…" He begged his friend. Lightning nodded, wiping his eyes. Cal stared at the floor. This was terrible. It hurt him to know Lightning was doing so badly and he never saw it. At least, that's how it could have went and Lightning could have had a friend to help him through some of these problems. But he just didn't want to share and have anyone see him as weak or know he was depressed and trying to fix himself and his marriage.

….Cal stared. This was a lot for someone to go through. "I… Is this why you're drinking so much?…" "I'm not." "Sense when? You were drinking at every race, Lightnin." "We always have." "Not like that!" Cal snapped! Lightning looked away. He could use one by now. Lightning shook his head replying, "I just.. I was trying to get over the crap with Sally. I'm fine now." "Are you?" "Yes!" "Lightning!" Cal snapped his name. Lightning stared at Cal. Was he? Lightning's brows lowered as he finally had enough! "I'm fine! Stop calling me out on stuff that you don't even know what you're talking about!" "Sally told Meg!" "And she only knows half the story!" "Tell me! I'm your friend, Lightning!" Cal shouted and reminded.

Lightning looked away. Angry a bit. He didn't know Sally would say all of THAT to Meg! Lightning shook his head and growled, "I'm fine, Cal. I'm not drinking. I haven't sense I went home. Sally doesn't like it… I'm not taking any medications and I won't go to therapy because that's all they will do to me. I can't go through that again. And Sally.. Sally doesn't know everything. I don't want to talk about some things. Just respect that. I'm not going to kill myself, I'm not drinking, okay?" Then he walked out of the trailer. SLAMming the door behind him. "Fuck." He muttered as he walked away. How dare Sally talk about those things with Meg. He thought she'd just talk about Ben and the baby, but no. She had to mention more than that! "God dammit…" Lightning whispered.

Lightning walked passed the garages and suddenly Cruz tan up to him. "Hey!" She greeted. Lightning sighed and stopped. Standing there a moment. He should never had touched her. Ever. It only made things worse. "Hey… Cruz…" he stared at her. His tone depressing. Cruz became concerned and asked, "What's wrong?" "I…" he began. He needed to end this. Once and for all. "Nothing.." he mumbled. But he couldn't do it. He… He… He wanted her. He wanted to be with her again and be around her more. Fuck.

Lightning whined a bit and rubbed his eyes with his hands. "Mr. McQueen?.." Cruz questioned. Lightning looked at her again. Fuck. He was falling for her. "I got to go…" he growled, "I'll see you tomorrow for qualifying. Just watch your turns.." Walking away. Cruz watched him go. Just staring and she stood there. He needed space, not home. Cruz frowned. Knowing he'd return to Sally. She didn't nothing but hurt him. Cruz hated her for what she did to him….

Lightning returned to the motel room. Closing the door and walking into the living room. Sally was on the couch watching tv. He walked over and realized she was asleep. He sat next to her and sighed. Staring at her sleeping. Thinking. Thinking about a lot of this. He just didn't see her the same. She ruined herself for him. "Fuck.." He whispered. Trying to force himself to see her as the beautiful and faithful, caring woman she was. But looking at her… She wasn't that anymore. She was a god dam bitch and a whore. He just tried convincing himself he could change those thoughts.

He looked away and stared at the floor. Hurting. He wanted to be with Cruz. She was fun, smiling all the time, so much energy and always looking for fun! She was excited every time she saw him and wanted him. She wanted him more than just sexually. This was bad. This was really bad. But some how… He had to find a way to fall in love with Sally again and let Cruz go. He wanted Sally. He wanted the love he had with her again. More than anything. So why was letting Cruz go so hard? Lightning stood up and grabbed out his phone. He needed to talk to someone. He needed to open up to someone he trusted and someone who would not go to Sally over this.

I'm coming over.

Sent.

Lightning put his phone in his pocket and headed over. Closing his room quietly as Cruz opened her door. She stepped aside and he walked inside. Cruz closed her door and asked, "What's up?" Honestly, she assumed he just wanted to use her again. Lightning took a deep breath then asked, "Is it alright if we just… Hang out?.. Talk?…" Cruz smiled, "Of course. I'll grab some drinks." She then headed to the fridge while Lightning sat down on the couch. Cruz looked cute. Wearing some blue, baggy, plaid pajama pants and a black tank top. She set the cans of soda on the table and sat next to Lightning on the couch all criss cross apple sauce style. Lightning snickered seeing that. "What's up?" Cruz asked.

Lightning frowned a bit and firstly, "I'm sorry I've been using you.. It's wrong. I shouldn't do that and you don't deserve it." "Don't do that. Don't feel guilty for something that I wanted." Cruz scolded. Lightning shrugged then sat silently. Maybe talking with Cruz was a bad idea. "Mr. McQueen… It's alright. You can tell me what's on your mind." She assured. Then placed a hand on his knee. Lightning glanced at her hand. Her perfectly soft and warm and smooth hand. He shook his head before continuing, "You're probably the wrong person to talk to… But… I'm failing miserably." "How?" "Just at everything.. I can feel myself falling apart again." He admitted. Cruz frowned. Trying to understand with little information.

Thinking before asking, "Again?…" Lightning sighed, "Before the accident.. I was going through a phase I guess. I don't know. I was drinking and I was depressed and on so many different kind of medications and it messed with my head. But that feeling.. I don't know how to explain it entirely. The feeling I had before just..No matter what I did I kept letting people down and.. I started thinking that people would be better off without me.. giving in and giving up… I can feel it over me again and It sucks.." He whined as he rubbed his eyes. Cruz thought a moment before replying, "Well… Just think about what got you out of it before? Could that help again?" She asked. Lightning tried thinking back to that. Sally was there for him. And no alcohol. But honestly, he couldn't remember entirely. Cruz stared at his silence. That hurt her. Seeing him this upset.

It reminded of how he was back in training when they first met. "Maybe… Um… Can I ask what exactly happened between you and Sally?…" She asked cautiously. Lightning looked at her. "Yeah, alright.." He muttered. Then took a deep breath before answering, "Before the accident… Our problems started before the accident.." he frowned, "We were fighting. I think it was because of my depression, but… That and she wanted a kid and I didn't… That caused a lot of issues.. I don't know. I sort of tried to stay away from home and I guess that's where the drinking got worse… But then we were trying to fix our marriage. And I thought we were doing really well." He exclaimed. Thinking back to the night he thought Sally was even gaining confidence sexually enough to take charge of him and she was so amazing and sexy and beautiful that night.

But those nights were gone. "I had that stupid accident because I pushed the Bolt, I wanted to hang on to racing and wound up in that stupid coma.." he whined a bit, rubbing his eyes. "So Sally slept with her ex. That's not fair.. And then she was pregnant. That's it. Of course it caused fighting and I was drinking for a while there and…" He looked at Cruz. "Then you came along…" Staring at her. Cruz wasn't sure if he meant that as a good thing or a bad thing. Lightning caressed the side of her face. "Cruz…" He cooed. Cruz smiled, gazing into his eyes. Then she assured, "I'd never do that to you.. I don't want to hurt you…" Lightning pulled his hand away. Staring. But she was. Not in the way Sally had or anything. But she was making this hard for him.

She was hurting his heart because he wanted her and wanted to be around her. He didn't know how to let go of Sally or her. Lightning hated this. He absolutely hated this. "I have alcohol. Do you want a drink?" She asked. Lightning thought about it but stood up and shook his head. "No… I… I'm sorry I bothered you tonight." Cruz immediately stood up and grabbed onto his arm. "You could never bother me. Hey, we're in Florida. Can we go to the beach and race some after the race tomorrow?" She asked. Smiling with eager eyes. Lightning couldn't help smiling back and nodded, "Sure. But I don't have the Bolt. I'll watch you." "Oh! Could I come out to Radiator Springs? I'd love to race on Willy's butte." Lightning's eyes widened.

Cruz in town? Sally was already suspicious. Or maybe he could talk with Cruz and this be the perfect way to show Sally that he and Cruz were just friends. Close.. Friends. "Sure. You can fly back with Sally and I." "Won't that be awkward?" Cruz asked. Lightning nodded then cradled her face in his hands. "But if you want this to continue… We have to get Sally off our trail.. She's going to find out at this rate.. Make her see we're just friends.." "So you're staying with her?.." Cruz asked softly. Lightning leaned in close. His lips near hers, "I'm sorry… I just can't leave her…" Cruz nodded. She knew he was using her. But she began to wonder if there was more to it. He kept coming back. And tonight… Tonight he didn't come back for the sex. He just wanted to talk and be with her. That meant something. If she waited this out long enough, Sally and Lightning might not be together and she could have Lightning to herself.

Cruz wrapped her arms around Lightning and hugged him. "I'm always here if you need me, Mr. McQueen. Sex or just to talk." She assured. Nuzzling into his chest. Lightning wrapped his arms around her. Her scent filling in his lungs. Fuck. He wanted more of her. Not just sexually. He just loved being around her. She made him.. Smile….
