Chapter 5

Ryder

I couldn't get Scarlett out of my mind.

Something told me she wanted me, but also despised me, too.

Everything about her was sexy as hell, even when she was glaring daggers at me from across the room.

I loved visiting with the boys. Christian always had a tone of questions and Connor and Cooper were always arguing and it was hilarious to watch them go at it. These boys reminded me of my brothers and friends, Storm and Jagger.

They had a special bond that I missed. Even though I worked my ass off to get the career I had, I still missed the simple days.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you even listening to me?" Blaze asks through the phone.

He had called to talk to me about my upcoming race, but I wasn't really listening to him.

I was out at the track, watching a few guys do practice laps. I should be focused on racing or what my brother was saying, but instead, I was lost and consumed by all things Scarlett.

"Sorry man, I'm just a little distracted," I admitted.

A racer drove past me, the roar of the engine almost causing the pavement to shake.

"I know you are busy. Call me later," Blaze says.

Guilt takes over as I feel bad for ignoring my brother. I need to get my head cleared. All thoughts of Scarlett plague me and I just don't understand why this feisty woman isn't interested in me. Never has a woman looked at me with such detest.

Call me crazy, but I need to find a way to make her like me.
