Chapter 5

Speed

The next day after much complaining from me, Marcos and I followed Merigold in my transport truck to her auto shop. After pulling up I noticed that parking was going to be impossible. This place was not designed for big rigs. After looking around Marcos and I decided the best plan was to park the truck in the side alley and take my car out. Marcos goes into the bay they have reserved for me and waits. I pull out of my truck and into the bay. I shut off the car and slide out the window. Since I race this car the doors are welded shut. Once my feet are on the floor I look around. This place is nice and well organized. I can see tools in their proper places not just thrown around. I can’t stand it when people don’t take proper care of their equipment.

I see Thor on one side of me and a guy I don’t know on the other. The guy I don’t know is looking my car up and down then shakes his head. “ Damn, what a beauty,” he says. Thor says “ Hey show some respect.” The guy looks confused for a minute then looks at Thor “ I was talking about the car man.” He turns to me “ No disrespect ma’am.” I know he was admiring my car and what he said wasn’t offensive even if he was talking to me. “ I prefer to call him handsome,” I say. Merigold walks over to me “ Speed meet Jesse. Jesse, meet Speed and Frankenstein 2.0.” I shake Jesse’s hand “ Nice to meet you, Jesse.” “ A pleasure ma’am,” he says. We wave my brother over and make introductions.

Jesse makes a lap around Frankenstein caressing him as he goes “ So who owns this beautiful piece of machinery.” “ My brother and I do. We work on it together although he does most of the work. I drive.” “ So if you guys do all your work why did you bring it here? Or did you just want to show it off?” Jesse asks. I point to Merigold “ Ask the boss there.” Merigold explains about the accident and how this is a new Frankenstein. She says she wants Thor and Jesse to give it a look before she will put a paint job on him. She turns to me “ Speed, I trust these guys as much as I trust you. I just want to make sure something wasn’t missed. I know you used some parts from your original car. I want to make sure it is safe for you to race again. I need to know you are safe.”

When she puts it that way how can I say no to her? “ Alright, boys you heard the boss. Give my boy a good once over. And treat him right. Or you will have all three of us on your asses.” I said to Jesse and Thor. Merigold insisted that we leave my car with the guys and head back to the club to meet up with the kids. I didn’t like the idea of leaving my car with them. I put my blood and sweat into that car. Well, Marcos and I did. That car was our livelihood. It is how I make my money to take care of Marcos. I can’t be without it. But this is Merigold’s shop and she wouldn’t lead me wrong. So to the club, we go. I got some nieces to hug and nephews to play with.

Speed and Marcos came in with Merigold after dropping her car off at the shop. Even though it was just a car you could tell she was out of sorts not having it near. That was part of her needing to be in control and it seems like since she has got here Merigold has taken things out of Speed’s hands making her very uncomfortable. But I can also see a part of her that is relieved. She is trying very hard to hide it and if you didn’t know what you were looking for you would miss it. I have been a Dom for several years so I know the signs. And to me, they are shining like a neon light flashing above her head. But I can also see her fighting giving up control. She has two sides to her she is fighting with. The part that needs to be in control and the part of her that wants to let go of the control and let someone take over. Since she is fighting I can tell that she either hasn’t had a proper Dom to guide her or she has never had a Dom at all.

But I am to fix that. I knew the moment I saw her there was something special about her and wanted to know more. The more I watch her the more I am certain she will be the perfect submissive for me. I will have to move slowly then she will need to be trained but I know for certain she will be mine. I will earn her trust then guide her. I will learn everything I can about what makes Speed tick. I’m going to find out why she is so obsessed with maintaining a tight hold on the control she has. Almost like if she doesn’t hold on tight she will break. I will show her she is safe with me so she will release it bit by bit.

We are all sitting at the large round table in the back of the common room just relaxing. Ace leans over and asks “ So why Speed?” Speed looks at Merigold who shakes her. I’m guessing Merigold wants Speed to tell the story. “ Since I was little I was obsessed with going fast and racing. I would race everything from roller skates to bikes. Then when I got old enough it was motorcycles and cars. Even a tractor once. One day I was fixing to do a dirt track race and Alaric, River, and Merigold were goofing around arguing about the movie we saw a few days prior. It was Top Gun if you can believe it. Alaric and River loved it and wanted to watch it again. Merigold was not having it. I had finished all my pre-race checks and was in the car hanging out the window to get in position and they were still going at it. Mac, Tony, Jace, Jax, and Marshall were off to the side cracking up not getting involved. I wanted to get a move on so I yelled at the top of my lungs “ I feel the need. The need for speed.”

“ That broke up the argument and Alaric yells ‘ Go for it Speed’ and it stuck from there.” Ace nods “ So then what about naming your car, Frankenstein?” Speed laughs “ That’s easy. See we were some broke-ass teens when we started him. It was Merigold’s joke. When we were building him we hit every junk and scrap yard in the county to get the pieces together to build him. When we finally got it done and he was running Merigold said it wasn’t bad for a Frankensteined up car. So we christened him with the name. Merigold even did an awesome paint job on him as tribute.”

Axel chimed in “ I saw the first car when we went for a visit after we got married. You guys should have seen it. That car was a masterpiece of art and machine. I was impressed that a bunch of teenagers put it together.” Rowdy nods in agreement. “ Got any pictures?” Viper asks. Suddenly Merigold jumps up and grabs her phone. “ I should still have some old pictures of him in my phone.” After scrolling for a minute she shouts “ Ha. I knew I did.” Then hands the phone to Viper who looks then passes it around. When the phone gets to me I take a good look at it. It looks like it was taken just after a race. Speed is leaning against the car with the checkered flag in one hand and her helmet propped against her hip with the other.

I don’t look at the car my focus is on the girl against it. The sun is setting in the background making Speed glow. Her hair is loosely caught in the wind. And she has a huge smile on her face. She looks stunning and happy. But if you look in her eyes you can see it looks like she is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. The guys are all talking about how great the car looks so I take a quick look and agree. It does look great but is overshadowed by Speed. I pass the phone back to Merigold. Just as she grabs it she says “ Speed I have figured out your punishment for lying to me.”

Speed leans on the table “ I didn’t lie. I omitted. There is a difference.” “ Whatever. You are still going to be punished.” Merigold says. Speed laughs “ What are you going to do? Spank me?” I get a sudden image of Speed laid across my lap, ass bare, red from my hand. It is a beautiful sight. “ No, you would like that too much,” Merigold says. “ And how would you know if I would like a good spanking?” Speed asks. I love Merigold, I do. But right now she needs to shut up or I will never be able to get up from this table without my dick slamming into it. It is pushing so hard against my zipper it is making a noticeable tent in my jeans. “ I don’t. Lucky guess. Anyway, you are going with me to a charity event tomorrow.” Merigold says.

Thank you for changing the subject Merigold. Speed looks at Merigold like she has lost her mind. “ A charity event. Are you kidding me? I don’t have anything to wear to something like that. And that isn’t exactly my scene.” “ No, I’m not kidding. And yes you are going. Don’t worry about how you dress. Just cowgirl up and you will be covered. And it is for a children’s hospital.” Speed looks defeated when she answers “ Fine. For kids, I will go. Just tell me when and where.” Merigold looks like she just won a major victory. “ I knew you couldn’t resist.”
