I didn't even need to look to know that Kristoff was staring at me with a smug expression. I tried to ignore him for as long as possible. We walked down the street together after finishing up with the school day. I was enjoying a refreshing can of Mel's Organic Lemonade to combat the heat when out of the corner of my eye I could see Kristoff smirking at me. He wasn't going to let this go, so it was pointless to give him the silent treatment.

''I told you,'' I grumbled. ''I think Calhoun was just giving me a fleeting compliment.''

''Calhoun isn't the type of woman to pass around compliments freely. I told you I wasn't the only one who thinks you could cut it as a Mighty Duck.''

I chuckled amusedly as I finished my drink and tossed it into a nearby trashcan. Well, I attempted to. Instead, it bounced off the side and rolled along the ground. I gestured to the litter. ''See! I may now have the muscle to compete, but I have no skill. I can barely skate normally, let alone with padded players trying to knock my teeth out every five seconds.''

He shrugged. ''You'll get used to it. Besides, you took a hockey puck to the head. You've already had your initiation.''

''Sorry, but unless you can find someone to show me the ropes, I'm a lost cause.''

''I could.''

I slowed down and turned to him. ''You could?''

''Sure,'' he grinned. ''You shouldn't be surprised that Disney has produced a lot of great skaters over the years. Where do you think the nickname Disney on Ice came from?''

''I always just thought that was a taunt rival schools shot at the Ducks.'' I sighed and took a moment to think about Kristoff's offer.

To be honest, the idea of winning a game as a Mighty Duck did sound nice. I just never figured myself for the type. As I said, I could barely skate. Unless I have a montage at some point in my future, I don't think I could reach the standards of being a player for the team. But, the longer I thought about it, the more I warmed up to the idea. At least, I warmed up to the idea of trying. If it didn't work, I could always just move on and let someone better fill my space.

''Alright.''

Kristoff turned so sharply towards me, I thought he snapped his neck. ''Seriously?''

''Yes, if you can find me an awesome teacher, I'll consider it. I've got a lot of work to do in order to reach the same level as you and the other Ducks.''

''Trust me, you'll get there. If George can make it, you can.''

''Kristoff, don't be mean,'' I nudged his big arm. ''I've seen him play. He may not be a Tarzan, but he's still good.''

''Yeah, but it's become an everyday occurrence where we have to shout for George to watch out for something right before he crashes into it.''

I couldn't hold back a laugh. Though, I should probably keep my mouth shut. If I don't improve quickly, I will be the one crashing into everything in sight. I was already picturing myself in a Mighty Duck jersey. I actually liked that image. I think I'd look cute.

Huh…I like confident, self-complimenting me.

Suddenly, I could feel my phone vibrating in my pocket.

''Booty call?'' Kristoff teased.

I glared at him but didn't reply. Knowing my luck, there was a strong chance he was correct. It was Vanellope's name that popped up on the screen. ''Hey, what's up?'' I answered.

''Hey…um…'' Vanellope spoke, sounding concerned. I couldn't remember the last time I'd heard her speak in such a quiet voice. ''Anna, I think something's wrong?''

Instantly, I stopped in my tracks. ''What is it?''

''So, Ralph texted me earlier to say that he would be hanging out with Hans and his buddies. But, he had already promised me that he would be coming home straight away and it's not like him to break a promise. I've tried to call him to see if everything's alright, but he won't answer. He never does that. I think he's in trouble.''

''Oh no,'' I gasped. I dreaded the thought of anything happening to Ralph. I know that he's been trying to distance himself from Hans, but hearing that he's gone off with him and now can't be reached left a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. ''Did he say where they were going?''

My heart felt like it was being ripped in two when I heard Vanellope sniffle on the other side. ''He said they were going to Gravity Falls Forest. I wanted to go and check to see if he is okay, but…I thought…unless you're busy…''

''Vanellope, I'll meet you there,'' I said without hesitation.

Though I couldn't see her, I knew my partner-in-crime was smiling. ''Thank you so much, Anna. I'll meet you there.''

''I'm not far. I'll be there.'' I promised. Before I hung up, I could hear Vanellope scampering around to get ready.

As I turned to Kristoff to explain what was going on, he raised his hand to silence me. ''I heard everything. And, may I point out, you said I instead of we.''

''Kristoff?''

''Hey, I'm not going to let you two do this alone. We've always got each other's backs, right?''

I nodded. ''Let's go. I hope Hans hasn't done anything to Ralph.''

''Hans may be the biggest piece of shit we know, but he's just a school bully. I don't think he's going to do anything drastic.''

''I hope you're right.''

It didn't take long for Kristoff and me to make our way towards the outskirts of Gravity Falls Forest. I don't know what it is about this place, but it always gives me the chills. Sometimes, it feels like there's something behind the trees watching me when I pass by it. I've never actually journeyed through the forest. But, there's no way I was going to let Ralph and Vanellope down. I just hope that he hasn't gone too far. Also, I hope that we don't bump into Hans.

''Anna!''

Kristoff and I turned and saw Vanellope galloping towards us. The little girl looked packed and ready to explore. It was like she was expecting us to camp out for the night. While that sounded like a fun idea, I don't know if this is the kind of place I would want to be in after dark.

''Let's go!'' She was about to dash off into the lead.

I reached out and grabbed the back of her shirt to stop her. ''Hold on, we can't go running ahead. We're already trying to find one person; we don't need to lose another.''

''But, he's still not responding,'' Vanellope said worryingly. ''I'm afraid that something bad has happened to him.''

''We'll find him,'' I assured her. ''I know Hans is bad news, but I'm sure that Ralph can handle himself against him.''

She groaned and rolled her eyes. ''Don't get me started on him. If I find he's done anything to my brother, I'm going to make him wear his balls like earrings.''

I could hear Kristoff gulp behind him. The idea was unique, and I didn't mind the threat being directed towards Hans, but as someone with balls, I couldn't help but wince at the description. My oldest friend leaned closer to me. ''She scares me sometimes.''

''You get used to it,'' I replied.

The three of us ventured into the forest. Despite it still being day time hours, the darkness crept up on us sooner than we anticipated. If felt like the shadows were dancing around us. I'm not the most superstitious person around, but that didn't mean I was a non-believer. There's a small part of me that believed I had sex with a vampire. And I've been convinced for years that the dog which belonged to Nani's little sister wasn't a real dog. So, coming across a ghost in this forest wouldn't have surprised me.

Heck, I'm expecting us to stumble upon a haunted mansion at some point.

''Hey, look at that.'' Vanellope pointed and rushed forward. Kristoff and I weren't too far behind. We ran past a few parted trees before coming upon a stretch of road in the middle of the forest. However, it wasn't the road specifically that got Vanellope's attention. She had seen tire tracks embedded in the dirt.

''They look recent,'' Vanellope said. ''Does Hans have a car?''

''Oh, I don't know,'' Kristoff mumbled sarcastically. ''He only shows it off every chance he gets.''

''He's never showed it off to me,'' I said.

Kristoff smirked. ''Well, you're one of the lucky few ladies that he's not trying to impress.''

''Thank goodness for that.'' I gagged at the thought of him trying to hit on me. But, my smile returned when a memory came back to me. ''Then again, he quite enjoyed the dance I gave him.''

At last, Vanellope giggled. It was nice to hear her laugh again. ''I still can't believe you did that. I wish I could have seen his face.''

''Yeah, it was…'' I stopped mid-sentence when the three of us heard a sound coming from down the road. In the distance, we could see dirt billowing up as an engine roared a few times, growing louder with every passing second. We stood back and watched, waiting for it to get closer. As it passed over a hill, that bad feeling in the pit of my stomach returned. ''That's not Hans's car.''

Before we could escape, the car rocketed past us at blinding speeds. We were fortunate enough to be out of the way. But, our luck didn't stick around for long as we heard the car come to a screeching halt. The wheels turned and it drifted into a perfect U-turn before speeding back in our direction.

''I think we should leave,'' Kristoff said.

''Good idea,'' I replied.

Just when we were about to run to the trees, the car hit the brakes and slowed down until it came to a complete stop right in front of us. The door to the car opened and someone stepped out to confront us. My legs turned to stone the moment my eyes fell upon the driver. She was unbelievably gorgeous. Tanned with sharply-defined features and wearing an awesome leather jacket over a red hoodie, she looked like she could step on me and I would happily allow it. Kristoff and Vanellope stood by my side as we waited for the woman to say or do something.

She eyed us up and down before leaning on the door of her car. ''What are you kids doing out here?''

Her accent was perfection.

''Hey,'' Vanellope whined. ''Who are you calling a kid?''

''The kids I see standing before me.''

Vanellope then pointed to me. ''She's legally an adult.''

''Why would you say it like that?'' I gasped.

The woman and I locked eyes. At that moment, I felt like I was going to melt into a puddle. Despite her bad-girl exterior, nothing about her struck me as someone who would cause us harm. ''Okay, if you're the adult, I'll ask you what you're doing here? Gravity Falls Forest isn't exactly a walk in the park.''

''I also didn't expect it to be a place where you could drive. You have a cool car.'' I said, trying to play nice.

Her lip curled into a pleasant smile. ''It definitely attracts attention.''

''Well, an attractive car deserves an attractive driver…'' I said before I could stop myself.

Kristoff sighed. ''Even now, you still flirt?''

''I have two modes…panic mode and gay panic mode. Sometimes they cross paths.''

To our surprise, the woman started laughing. It wasn't a condescending laugh. ''I'm not trying to scare you. It's getting dark. If you don't start making your way home now, you might have trouble getting out. That's all I'm saying.''

''We can't leave,'' Vanellope said. ''My brother is here. We have to find him.''

''Is he in trouble?'' the woman asked.

''We think so,'' I answered. ''He hangs around with a bad crowd. But, he's not a bad guy. We haven't heard from him so we came here to make sure that he's okay.''

Her face softened. She drummed her fingers against the car door and looked at the road ahead. I wondered what she was thinking about. Eventually, she turned back to us and smiled. ''Get in. I can help you.''

We were taken aback. Vanellope's smile widened. ''You will?''

''You'll make more ground faster. I've got the space for you all, plus one extra.''

''Yippee!'' Vanellope leapt into the air and ran around excitedly. While I knew she was looking forward to finding her brother, I think she was also excited to ride in such a cool looking car too.

I smiled. ''We really appreciate that. Thank you…''

''Call me Shank,'' she replied and then opened the doors for us.

Vanellope wasted no time leaping into the shotgun seat. As much as I wanted to sit close to Shank, I was willing to let Vanellope have this honor. The little girl's eyes lit up when she inspected the interior of the car. Kristoff and I glanced at each other as we hopped in the back.

''She's not going to start driving, is she?'' Kristoff asked.

Vanellope glared at him. ''Are you dissing my driving? I am a champion at multiple racing games.''

''Yeah, but in those kinds of games, you're expecting to crash.''

Shank didn't look worried as she fastened her seatbelt before turning to Vanellope and winking. ''Maybe another time when we don't have backseat drivers, I can let you take the wheel.''

''You are too awesome, Shanky!'' Vanellope squealed.

''And who do I have the pleasure of offering my services too?''

''I'm Vanellope! The funky looking blonde donkey is Kristoff, and the gay disaster is Anna.''

''Vanellope!'' Kristoff and I scolded her.

Shank laughed and looked over her shoulder. She gazed deep into my eyes. Okay, I am a gay disaster, and I think that Shank could see that, especially when she winked at me. ''Buckle up.''

''You have your own crew? That's so cool!''

The next half an hour consisting of driving, searching and Vanellope gushing over Shank as she talked about herself. As I said, she wore her jacket like a tough-gal, but she was really a big softie, and she didn't seem to mind that. It was good for Vanellope to have someone to talk with, especially now. She needed something to take her mind off worrying about Ralph. Her concerns had eased and this was a great way to pass the time.

''So,'' Shank said, looking in the small mirror to glance back at Kristoff and me. ''How do you all know each other?''

''Vanellope's brother goes to the same school as us,'' I answered. ''He hung out with the school bully. But, he's been trying to get away from that kind of crowd.''

''It's tough. I used to hang around with a rough crowd. You don't need people like that. My crew and I prefer cruising to our heart's content and the odd game of basketball.''

''I like basketball,'' I said eagerly.

Shank stared at me with great interest. ''Hmm, I take figure you for a sports girl.''

Kristoff slid his arm over my shoulder and pulled me closer. ''Yeah, she's going to be a future star player for our ice hockey team too.''

''I don't know about the star player. I would be just happy with decent.''

''Don't sell yourself short,'' Shank told me. ''Aim high. That's how I live.''

Vanellope grinned. ''And you are living the life. This is how I imagined myself when I'm older. Just me and a wide-open road.''

Suddenly, we came across a bumpy section of the road and started bouncing. Shank slowed the car down to make the travel easier. I looked out to see if I could see when the road would get back to normal, and that's when something caught my eye.

''Stop! I see him!'' I shouted.

Shank slammed her foot down on the break and Vanellope shot out of the door before we even stopped. She looked around before she finally spotted what I saw. It was pointless to try and stop her. She rushed ahead as Kristoff, Shank and I got out of the car and followed her towards a large tree. Ralph was tied to the foot of the tree by a rope, wearing nothing but white boxers with love hearts plastered all over them. As we got closer, I could see that he was shivering. How could Hans do something so cruel? Ralph could have gotten pneumonia if we hadn't come out to find him.

''Ralph!'' Vanellope screamed and then jumped up to hug her brother.

''Vanellope?'' Ralph gasped. ''What are you doing here?''

''Bird-watching! What do you think, snot-brain? We came to get you!'' Vanellope sobbed.

Ralph looked like he wanted to say something else, but he sneezed instead. Kristoff loosened the rope enough so that Shank could pull out a pocket knife and cut him free. He stumbled forward, rubbing his arms with his big hands to try and warm himself up. His face was almost blue.

''Did Hans do this to you?''

He nodded and then tilted his head to the left. ''He and Gaston are over there. They said they'd let me go after a quick beer.''

Any sense of reason and understanding disappeared from my body. I turned and marched over to where Ralph had gestured. I ignored Kristoff's call to come back. There was no way I was going to let this go. Walking ahead, I saw the light of a campfire and it didn't take long for me to see Hans and Gaston sitting together, downing one bottle of beer after another. Next to them, LeFou was passed out, snoring loudly and with an empty beer bottle stuck to his nose. The stench of alcohol was so overwhelming, it made me gag. They didn't have a care in the world. All the while, Ralph was freezing and on the verge of sickness.

''Hey!'' I shouted and stomped over to them.

Hans slouched on the rock where he sat and then rolled his eyes when he saw me. ''What do you want?''

''I want to know what possessed you to tie Ralph to a tree wearing almost nothing!''

Gaston clicked his fingers. ''Gaston knew we had forgotten something.''

Hans laughed and waved his hand droopily. ''We were going to let him go…''

''You're completely smashed. What if you had forgotten about him and driven off? He'd have been out here in the cold. This is serious.''

''I know,'' Hans grumbled. ''Jesus, you're acting like I was trying to kill the guy.''

''You could have!'' I screamed and then knocked the beer can out of his hand. ''It's one thing to be a bully teasing me because of my body, but what you did was heartless. What did Ralph do to deserve this?''

''He needed to be taught a lesson,'' he slurred. As he stood up to confront me, he wobbled a little bit. ''I am number one at Disney. The last thing I need is someone switching sides and acting like you're the best thing in the world. You're a freak.''

I shook my head in disgust. ''I'd rather be a freak than what you are, Hans.''

''Why you…''

Just then, someone stood next to me and shoved Hans away. He fell onto his back. He was about to get up and go on the offensive but stopped immediately. I turned to see Shank standing beside me with her hood up and her hands in her pocket.

''You two should leave,'' she threatened.

Gaston stood up and straightened his hair as he walked towards Shank. ''Hello…''

She glared at him. ''Say another word and I'll rip the hair off your chest and shove it down your throat!''

I will never get tired of seeing Gaston being put in his place. He retreated instantly. I'm sure that if he wasn't drunk, he would have responded in some other way, but he merely walked away. As for Hans, he didn't look too pleased about being knocked down. He got up and then pointed at me. ''I'll remember this. I can make life a living hell for you, just like I did before.''

Shank glanced at me, probably curious about what Hans was referring to. I was so mad with him that I didn't even feel the need to hide away anymore. ''He pulled my pants down in front of the whole school because I have a penis. He's been using that against me ever since.''

After a moment, Shank smirked. ''Jealousy?''

''I thought so too,'' I played along. ''But, then I thought that maybe it's been so long since he's seen his own, he wanted to remind himself of what a real penis looked like.''

''You…'' Hans stepped closer, but then Shank stood between us. Like a typical bully, the moment someone that looked stronger intervened, he backed down.

''Go home,'' Shank ordered. ''And leave the car. You're in no state to drive.''

I could almost hear Hans gritting his teeth as he turned heel and stormed away with Gaston in tow. At least the muscle head had the courtesy of remembering LeFou as he picked him up and carried his unconscious lackey away.

Once they were gone, I turned to Shank and smiled. ''You are badass.''

''Takes one to know one.'' She replied.

There was a bit of an extra skip in my step as Shank and I returned to the car to find Kristoff helping Ralph inside. He had taken one of his jackets and placed it on Ralph's shoulders. I doubt we were going to find his clothes anywhere. Right now, all that we wanted to do was get him out of here so he could go home and rest. Once he was settled, the rest of us got inside.

Ralph was squeezed between Kristoff and I. Shank started up the engine while Vanellope stood up in her seat and looked at her brother. ''How are ya doing?''

''I could do with a nice warm bath.'' Ralph trembled.

''I know what'll fix you up…a bath filled with hot chocolate. You can bathe in it and drink it at the same time.''

We all shared a laugh together, even Ralph, though he did it while his teeth were chattering.

As Shank was about to turn the key, we were blinded by a set of lights flashing at us from the side. I tried to cover my eyes as I turned to see what was happening. My heart jumped into my throat when I saw Hans's car accelerating towards us. Was he actually going to drive into us? This is gone beyond petty bullying!

''Hang on!'' Shank slammed her foot down on the pedal and we were racing forward just as Hans's car shot past us.

We were holding on for dear life as Shank drove up the road, trying to maintain control while going over such bumpy terrain. I looked behind and I could see Hans catching up to us. He had no qualms about skidding along and damaging his car against every bump. All that mattered to him was ramming into us. I can't believe that my friends and I were caught up in a car chase.

''What do we do?'' Kristoff said.

''Hold onto your butts. I'll lose him.''

Vanellope then pointed to the side. ''Drive into the forest. We can make him crash into the trees.''

''I like your spirit, V,'' Shank smirked.

She turned the wheel and we found ourselves veering off-road and deeper into the forest. My heart was racing almost as much as the car as I saw us blitz past tree after tree. I was waiting for the inevitable crash, but Shank expertly moved around them. I could hear a few branches scrape against us. The paint job was no doubt ruined. But, in the mirror, I could see a fire in Shank's eyes. It was like she had fully come to life while driving, and Vanellope shared that look too. They were like two peas in a pod. And that scared me if I decided to take a ride with her when she could legally drive.

Before long, the gap between the trees was narrowing. Despite how good of a driver Shank was, even she was having trouble passing through. If we didn't get rid of Hans soon, we would crash into a tree and burst into flames.

When I thought there was no hope, Shank rode up a small hill and for a brief moment, we were floating as she jumped across a small stream. After she made the landing, a garden gnome came out of nowhere and landed on the front. Who would leave that out here? Shank spun us around, knocking the gnome off as she sped off to the side. I knew I was losing my mind in this chase because it looked like gnome blinked at me. I looked back to see Hans attempt the same jump. However, his car couldn't quite make it all the way and the back half crashed roughly into the stream. The tires spun into the wet mud and became stuck. He wasn't going to be following us anymore.

Shank drove until we returned back onto the road. We finally came to a stop and Vanellope bounced up and down in her seat. ''We did it!''

''We did,'' Shank cheered and then turned to look at the rest of us. ''Everyone okay?''

Kristoff lurched forward. ''I think I'm going to throw up.''

''I think my heart just stopped.'' I panted.

''I think I peed a little,'' Ralph said.

XXX

After that five minutes of adrenaline, the rest of the drive out of Gravity Falls Forest was tame. Thankfully, Kristoff didn't throw up, Ralph didn't wet himself, and I didn't have a heart attack. But, Vanellope was still singing her praises of Shank and though I was quiet, I had to agree with her. She was amazing.

Shank stopped the car as we got outside the edge of the forest. The sun was beginning to disappear behind the horizon. Vanellope jumped out of the car while Kristoff helped Ralph.

''I hope this experience hasn't put any of you off driving.'' Shank grinned.

''No way!'' Vanellope shouted. ''That was awesome!''

''Well, next time you decide to come for a drive with my crew, we'll try and keep things calmer.''

Vanellope's eyes sparkled. ''You'll let me ride with your crew?''

''If that's alright with your brother.''

What followed was Vanellope giving Ralph the cutest puppy-dog eyes imaginable. He didn't look to enthused about the idea. But, he slipped up once he caught Vanellope staring at him. He sighed and then broke out into a smile. ''Only because she helped save me. And you have to wear your seatbelt. And you can't drive. And…''

''That's a yes! I'll take it!'' Vanellope smiled. ''Now, let's get you that bath of hot chocolate I promised.''

Kristoff looked at me. ''I'll make sure they get home safe.''

''You sure?'' I asked.

He nodded and patted Ralph on the back.

I think it was a good idea. Things seemed alright now, but I reckon Ralph and Vanellope could use the company after such a crazy day. Although, it now only just dawned on me that I was still in the car, alone with Shank. Kristoff…don't think I'm clueless to what you're planning.

I was dragged out of my thoughts when I then felt Vanellope jump back into the car so that she could hug me tightly. ''Thank you.'' She whispered.

''You're welcome.'' I hugged her back.

When we pulled apart, Vanellope looked back and forth between Shank and me before giggling. ''I now have two cool big sisters.''

Vanellope hurried out of the car to join Ralph.

''And I have the coolest big brother.'' She said.

''What about me?'' Kristoff asked.

''You're alright.'' She teased.

As I watched the three of them make their way home, I felt Shank's gaze set on me and I couldn't stop myself from blushing. I climbed from the back to the front so that I was sitting next to her.

''If you don't mind, I'm just want to sit here before I head home,'' I said.

''I don't mind.''

I winced. ''Sorry about the damage to your car.''

Shank patted the wheel. ''She's a fighter. I'll get her fixed up. I wasn't about to turn away good people when they needed help.''

''Thank you.''

''It was fun. I haven't had a drive like that in…''

''Oh, I'm not just talking about that,'' I said bashfully. ''Also, when you stood up to Hans for me.''

''I stood with you. You may be a gay disaster, but you're a tough girl too.''

I laughed and gazed at her. ''Am I that obvious?''

''I was the same.''

A tremor rushed over my whole body. ''You were?''

''If I saw a pretty girl that I really wanted to kiss, I would get so nervous. I would do things like pull on the strings of my hoody or drum my hands against the wheel.''

My eyes shifted over to see her hands hitting the car wheel.

I gulped. ''Does anyone else come by here?''

''No, we're going to be alone for a while. Why do you ask?''

Shank raised an eyebrow at me. I was utterly entranced by every little movement that she made. My throat literally hitched the moment she leaned forward so that she could remove her leather jacket and red hoodie, leaving her with just a short blue shirt. My eyes travelled down her tanned arms, taking in the slight curve of her biceps. I also noticed a tattoo of a dagger on her arm, making me squirm in my seat.

I placed my hands on my lap and stared out at the sunset. ''It sure is beautiful.''

Shank hummed in agreement. However, when I turned, I saw that she wasn't looking at the scenery. Her eyes were on me. Blushing, I brushed my hair out of my face and then patted my lap while locking eyes with her. She smirked and then proceeded to move over so that she was now straddling me.

Once she settled down on top of me, she turned to gaze into my eyes. ''I'm not too heavy, am I?''

I shook my head and grasped her hips. ''You feel perfect.''

A low moan slipped out of my mouth when she rocked her hips a little. My hold on her tightened as she grinded herself against the bulge in my jeans. She leaned forward so that her lips were inches away from my ear. ''You feel perfect too.''

Chills ran up my body. Her hot breath tickled my ear. When she pulled back so that we were face-to-face again, I could see a sly grin plastered across her face. She placed a hand on top of my chest. Her fingers touched my skin before trailing down to tug on my shirt. I moaned even more as she began to rock her hips faster, grinding harder against my bulge. I bit my bottom lip as my cock throbbed beneath my clothes. Her hand then wandered even further down before coming to the tent in my jeans. She squeezed it firmly, sizing me up. Judging by the way her eyes bulged, I think she was impressed.

''That's quite the stick you have,'' she purred, glancing down at my lips.

I grinned. ''I'm sure an expert driver like yourself can handle this kind of ride.''

She continued to palm my bulge roughly. I couldn't hold back the moans coming out of my mouth. It was ecstasy and agony at the same time. I was already bucking my hips against her as she lifted her hips so that she could use both hands to undo my jeans. All I could do was sit back and watch. The electricity in the car was unbelievable. We hadn't even kissed, and yet, when our eyes met, I was already finding it difficult to breathe. It only got better when she loosened my jeans enough so that she could slip her hand inside them and my boxers to grasp my hard shaft.

''Oh, Shank.'' I moaned as she pulled my cock out so that she could see it.

''Anna…'' she gasped at the sight.

I was already leaking from the tip. The fluid ran down my shaft to coat her fingers as she began to stroke me. I watched as her eyes flickered up and down, trying to comprehend my length. Her hand pumped every inch from the tip to the base. After a few strokes, her fingers glided down to feel my balls. My whole body shuddered as she squeezed them.

''Shank…'' I gulped. ''Do you want to use your mouth?''

''Isn't that what you expected?''

I shrugged. ''I just wanted to ask beforehand. If you don't want to, I don't mind if it's just hands.''

''I appreciate the thought…'' she leaned closer. Her lips almost touched mine. I'm sure that if I leaned forward too, I would be able to kiss her. But, I was too captivated by her aura to move. ''I want to use my mouth.''

She pulled away from me and got off my lap as she kept pumping my shaft. When she was back on the other seat, she then lowered her head down before taking the head of my cock in her hot mouth. I threw my head back and moaned as I felt her lips sealed around my shaft. Her tongue brushed against the tip, lapping up the pre-cum that continuing to leak out of me. She bobbed her head up and down, taking me inside of her mouth inch by inch. I placed my hands on the back of her head as I began to thrust my hips, driving my cock deeper. At the same time, her hands reached back down to fondle my balls.

''Yes, that feels so good.'' I groaned with arousal.

Pleasure surged through my body as I felt every suck and lick. Her hold on my balls tightened, making me gasp and jerk forward. My cock hit the back of her throat, causing her to gag and pull back. She coughed and I patted her head to see if she was okay.

''I should have known not to underestimate you.'' She said before dragging her tongue up and down my shaft, always looking up at me as I watched her.

''It can happen to the best of us.'' I teased.

Smirking at me, she slapped my cock against her face a few times before her tongue glided down and licked my balls. I whimpered as she sucked hard on each testicle, swirling her tongue around them and lavishing them both until they were dripping wet with her saliva.

She kissed the tip of my cock before sitting up in her seat. ''Let's get more comfortable.''

I could only nod. My throat was too dry to speak as she adjusted her seat so that it could be lowered until it was lying nearly flat on the floor. With a coy grin, she settled down while unbuckling her jeans. The punk-like belt buckle was removed and she lifted her legs so that she could give me the perfect view of her removing her blue jeans and black panties underneath. She was staring at me with a burning gaze as she threw them over her head into the back of the car.

I quickly grabbed one of her legs. She threw me a questioning glance before I pressed my lips against her leg, trailing light kisses up and down. She licked her lips and the most delightful of moans escaped from her. My hand stroked her other leg and pulled them apart. As I nibbled on her leg, I glanced down between her legs and saw her pussy. There was a thick bush of hair around the drenched lips. My cock twitched the second I saw it. I continued kissing up her leg until I was close enough to smell her arousal.

Her fingers threaded through my hair, pulling my face closer to her most intimate place. I lightly stroked my tongue along her thigh, teasing her for a little bit longer. I gazed up at her face so that I could watch her as my tongue brushed against her entrance. Her taste was amazing. I licked up and down her pussy, dragging my tongue slowly while her hips rolled and bucked against my face. With my help, she hoisted her legs onto my shoulder as I pushed my tongue inside of her, lapping up her juices. The limited space in the car made things awkward at first, but once I got into the rhythm of things, I had her moaning my name in a matter of seconds.

''Anna, that's it,'' she moaned huskily. Her voice was perfection. ''You're such a good girl.''

Something about those words and the way she said that inspired me to go harder and faster. I thrust my tongue in and out of her pussy as she cried out more and more. I slurped up her juices. She was leaking so much. My lips found her clit and I sucked on it gently, eliciting even more sweet sounds out of her. I could feel her legs close around my head, keeping me trapped against her gushing center. I wasn't going to complain about that. I made little motions with my tongue to keep her on the edge of her seat both literally and figuratively.

''I need your cock, Anna!'' Shank gasped. ''I can't wait anymore. I need you to fuck me.''

I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I climbed up her body, kissing my way up until our lips met. I could feel her moan into my mouth as my tongue slipped past her lips. She wrapped her arms around me in a loving embrace as I pushed my hips forward so that the head of my cock would rub against her. I rocked my hips against her, rubbing my length up and down her drenched pussy. Her wetness was coating my shaft. I reached down to grasp my cock and line it up with her entrance. Shank waited with great anticipation as I slowly entered her.

''Fuck me,'' she gasped as I easily slid inside of her.

''That's the idea,'' I grunted as I pushed deeper.

Shank grabbed my arms for support. Her nails clawed against my biceps. I took my time with her, making sure she was okay with my size before I started to pull back. I stopped when only the head remained inside. My lips went to her neck, suckling on her skin, leaving a hickey behind as she moaned and bucked her hips against me. Her pussy was clenching around my shaft as I thrust back inside of her. I pumped my cock in and out of her at a steadily growing pace. Her breathing turned ragged as I kissed her neck and fucked her harder and faster.

I reached down to stroke her legs and hold it up slightly, giving me a better angle to drive my cock deeper inside of her. I could feel the car rocking. Every time I pulled back; my cock was slick with her juices. My lips were still attached to her neck as I dragged my tongue over the love mark I had left on her skin. I felt the vibrations on my lips every time she moaned in pleasure. I moved up a little more so that I could slam my lips against hers again in another bruising kiss. Her teeth bit on my bottom lip and tugged on it as she writhed beneath me.

My hand travelled up her leg until I cupped her ass cheek, kneading it as I pounded her harder, turning her moans into screams. Her voice was husky and loud, it encouraged me to give her all that I had. I could tell that her body was on the verge of release. My balls were slamming against her with each thrust, and they were beginning to feel tight. It wasn't going to be a long wait for us to cum, but I wanted us to do it together. Her chest was heaving against mine as I fucked her relentlessly.

Before long, her face was straining with pleasure. I bucked my hips wildly, driving the full length of my cock in and out of her. She was gushing all over me as she cried out and raked her nails down my back. My cock was throbbing inside of her. It felt like the right moment. Our lips crashed together for another heated kiss as I exploded. Her wet pussy locked around my shaft, drenching me as she rode out her orgasm on me. Her back arched and her whole body was shaking as I pumped my thick load inside of her.

''Anna, Anna…'' she gasped. Her eyes remained closed as she trembled in my arms.

I couldn't move as she kept her legs locked around my waist. I didn't want to move anyway. I was more than happy to say inside of her like this. Her pussy squeezed around my shaft. Our release leaked onto the seat as we happily embraced.

''I think you're going to need to clean the inside too.'' I grinned sheepishly.

She laughed and reached down so that her finger could glide over her pussy. She brought her hand back up and traced that finger along my jaw until it rubbed my sore lips. I opened my mouth and sucked on her finger, tasting her juices. I swirled my tongue around as she tempted me closer until we were kissing again.

I think this was going to be another occasion where I would be home late.
