#A MIGHTY BLAST#

ALEX'S POV

The after party hosted by Mythias was extravagant. It was set in another mansion which was set atop a hill with fountains decorating the path, clipped hedges and rose bushes complementing the red carpet set for us.

We all step out of our vehicles and everyone's attention snap our way. Some bow their head in respect while others nod curtly.

It felt formal and professional just like the man who stood talking to a few mafia leaders including me. I was zoning out until Mythias touched my shoulder bringing me back.

"...Black and violet. It best suits the Night Fallen's outfit and my beauties are willing to take part in missions set across the state. Just tell them where and when but we prefer payment first and the job will be done till satisfactory... any other questions?" I ask politely but no one bats an eye so I excuse myself looking for anyone with a familiar face but to no avail I end up visiting the bathroom.

As soon as I finish mucking around just to pass time, I walk out and everyone was rushing out all eager and giddy. It was time already, I can't believe it!

The whole mansion was cleared out and everyone was given the address of the race's start up location and its end location. I was about to receive it next but I feel my arm being pulled only to follow Mythias' back.

"You're coming with me this time." He adds the last bit with a smirk sending off a million butterflies in my tummy.

"But I wanted to go with-"

"No. I want you to come with me, please?" I'm going to have to get used to his good side.

"Do I get to race tonight?" I ask while giving my best puppy face as we both halt by his new beast.

He turns swiftly and pushes me back slightly with my back pushed to the cars side and sigh when he trails his finger down my neck while his other hand trails up my thighs to my core.

"Mythias" I moan when he crashes his lips on mine with a groan and kisses me like a mad man. My hands played with his hair while his caressed my hips digging his fingers hard.

"I'm going to show you how to win. Lucky you get to have a front row seat. Come on or else we'll be late for the race gorgeous." I blush at his comment and slide in the passenger seat glad to have him drive since my legs felt like jello right about now. Fuck, my panties are soaked!

I need to get a grip of myself, I feel nuts!

He speeds off to the location and as we near the crowd of bodies pull apart as the roar of this beast gets louder by the second nearing the other four cars parked beside us.

"The first in line is The Silent Shadows who will be represented by Shawn Collins!" Screams the announcer as the driver inside a black Bugatti brings it to life with one powerful engine!

"The second in line is The Deathly Rogues who will be represented by Charlie Hein!" A person in a tinted Lambo Vaneno Reves his engine earning a lot more cheers than the first.

"The one in the middle Ladies and gents, is The Red Devils who will be represented by Greyhound Legends!!!" This guys was seated in a white Porsche 918 Spyder. The crowd cheers a beat and bets are already being played as I raise my brows on hearing the 4th competitor.

"From The right, representing for the first time The Night Fallen, give it up for Elaine Adams!" I cheer from Mythias' car feeling hyped already on seeing her face set to game mode. That extra Nos that I put in that beauty should put her in the upper ranks for sure!

"And last but not least in the far right from The Black Anarchy who will be represented by The Mafia King himself!" A horn blows loud and clear hushing the screams and cheers of the crowd dies down hysterically.

"What about The Red Knights?" I ask surprised.

"Backed out. But doesn't matter it's obvious who the winner will be"

"My bets on Cloudy" I state nodding my head towards Elaine.

"If I wing you have come somewhere with me and if she wins then you can do whatever you wish!" I nod my head in agreement as we both look ahead.

My heart gets caught in my throat as a woman with a model worthy body waves the two striped flags. Her outfit consisted of Red lingerie with stilettos built at the length of skyscrapers! Jeez woman.

And then after her mini strip tease which was definitely Extra she drops the flags and even though I was mentally prepared I was yanked back by the seatbelt as soon as Mythias let off the brakes.

The screen on the desk board lights up showing us a map.

"Jake's prepared this route, it should be the fastest one and if its not-"

"You'll have his head." I finish.

"I can hear you guys. Idiots!" Jake interrupts us and I look wide eyed in confusion; how does this guy do things!

"Yes chipmunk it's magic, thanks for installing the-" Jake was cut off when he begins to yell at Mythias; barking orders.

"Take a sharp left and then a right, we have company." It was not long before the sirens go on around the city, hopefully the other racers get caught by the cops.

"Keep going straight oh, and you have company!" I chuckle loudly when I notice the Mustang that belonged to Elaine.

"She's hot on your heels you slowpoke!" I say and subconsciously poke his cheek. He groans and accelarates faster gaining a good distance from Elaine and that's when we see the bridge.

There was most definitely a crowd and if they didn't move I'm sure Mythais would run over the half of them!

As we near the final destination I cross my arms knowing that Elaine didn't win but at least she came second!

"And that's-" Before Mythias could gloat I open the door and walk out headed straight to Elaine. I crush her with my hug and congratulate her and then I help her stand atop her bonnet.

Everyone cheered for the mafia king and Elaine. A huge smile appears on my face as Jake who held and tablet and headset comes from the crowd followed by a nervous buttercup. I quickly run to him and smack his head for good measure.

"You got this. Go now!" I tell him with over excitement while pushing him towards Elaine.

The crowd couldn't take the hint obviously as he tried to weave past them so I did the one thing that could shut them the fuck up.

Mythias stares at me with amusement as I place his gun back in his jacket as I point to buttercup so that everyone could listen.

"Even though you came second to the Mafia King that is, in my eyes you will always be first Elaine. I just wanted to let you know I have never met anyone as beautiful, courageous and intelligent as you Elaine and that you being part of my life would be a miracle, in fact a dream come true... so..." Instead of kneeling Buttercup places one knee onto the bonnet and pulls out the black box and Elaine gasps with a tear rolling down her cheek. "Elaine Adams, will you marry me?"

"Yes! God yes Dante!" Elaine responds as buttercup slides the silver princess cut diamond ring on her finger and she crashes her lips on his followed by a hug. I grin widely at them and observe Mythias' reaction which was pure shock!

"I didn't know his name was Dante" I say facing Mythias as he processed what just happened.

"That's because you have an annoying tendency of giving everyone you meet nicknames."

"That's absolutely right slowpoke." I reply mischievously but he catches on and tickles me instead.

"Stop...mythiasss" I plead but he continues attacking my ticklish spots.

"Not until you agree to come with me... and don't ask where."

"Fine, I will" I say after letting out another soft chuckle. He removes his hand from my body immediately making me feel cold so as I watch his retrieving back headed towards his car I only help myself.

I hop onto his back and lock my arms around his neck and as soon as he cups my thighs carrying me the rest of the way I give him a soft peck on his cheek which had him freeze in his spot.

But I didn't regret it for a second...
