We donât pray for love,we just pray for cars!



Fast Hearts: Hyung Line F1 series
*pairing: Park Sunghoon F1 Red Bull driver x sports Journalist
*trope: Enemies to lovers/Forbbiden love
*driver: Park Sunghoon=Max Verstappen
*synopsis: Sunghoon is the synthesis of the journalist hater. He respects their work but when a young girl without fears and a little cheeky enters the world of F1 and Sunghoon for him is a disaster. This journalist loves to tease him, sometimes ask inappropriate questions just to make fun of him and drive him crazy. Sunghoon every time he sees her would like to put it in his place because he hates her but at the same time is attracted by her but the problem is that he should not be distracted by anything because he is fighting for the world championship for his first time with Red Bull.
*tags: At first they canât stand each other, Hoon is really asshole with her (at first) but she also teases him always, kisses, 2 sex scenes (doogy style-normal sex) unprotected sex (donât horny ppl) fingerings, masturbation (f.m) sucking, the list of races is random (there are not all races of a season of F1) pet names (baby doll) (hoon,hoonie)
11.8k (đ) *English is not my native language
You were in your final year of sports journalism, and with your top grades and a way with words that had already made more than one professor uneasy, you were lucky enough to be selected for an exclusive internship with F1 TV. Not just any TV, but the official platform of Formula 1: young, viral, fast-paced. Interviews, exclusive content, and, most importantly, social media. It was the first race of the season in Bahrain, and you were already at the center of your first post-race conference.
Jin â the undisputed king of Mercedes â had just won. Again. The seventh time in a row, and no one even raised an eyebrow anymore. But your attention wasnât on him.
To his right, in second place, Park Sunghoon seemed like a shadow just about to explode. His dark eyes fixed on the Red Bull can in his hands. A hard face, clenched jaw, raven-black hair slightly tousled. He was gritting his teeth with elegance.
From what you knew, he had been with Red Bull since he was 17. A prodigy, a winner, stubborn. Heâd come close to winning the championship the previous year. This year... he wasnât accepting any compromises. He had to win. And today, a single mistake at the start had cost him everything.
It was at that moment that you raised your hand with the microphone between your fingers. Everyone turned to look at you, including the content creator beside you who was filming for social media channels. Your voice, clear and calm, was the one that made him raise his eyes.
âPark Sunghoon, the car this year seems more balanced, more aggressive in the corners. So, if you donât win the championship⌠can we say that maybe it was never the carâs fault, but yours?â
Silence.
A brief, icy silence.
Jin gave a small smile and lowered his face. Jay, third on the podium, made a soft âohâ with his lips.
But it was Sunghoonâs gaze that took your breath away for a second. He looked you up and down slowly, with surgical precision. Narrowed, dark eyes, full of contained disdain. You felt them slide from your hair down to your legs, where they lingered just a bit longer than necessary.
He slowly ran a hand through his silver hair, then responded.
âYouâre new, arenât you?â
His voice was low and sharp, like a thin blade.
âYou see, in your line of work, asking smart questions is the first step to staying in it for the long haul. Next time, try harder.â
You bit your smile.
âOh, so if you lose, we can say the car wasnât the issue and you made a rookie mistake at the start? Or should I âask better questionsâ even to the telemetry data?â
The crowd let out a small âooooh.â Jin coughed to hide a chuckle.
Sunghoon clenched his jaw. He gave you a long, penetrating look, then stood up with a swift movement of the chair, leaving Jin and Jay still seated.
Without saying anything else, he walked off.
You watched him go, your lips slightly curved in a smile.
Welcome to Formula 1.
The Red Bull plane had landed a couple of hours ago, and as was customary before every race weekend, Sunghoon had decided to cycle along the entire track. It was one of his rituals: silence, asphalt, and a visual analysis of the circuit before the data and telemetry took over. He was accompanied by Jake and Jay. The three of them were known in the paddock as the 02z: all born in 2002, growing up together on karting circuits, adolescent victories, fierce rivalries, and shared dreams. Now they were professionals, but their friendship â though rough and competitive â was still alive.
Jake, the McLaren driver, was the kind of guy who smiled too much, even when he lost. He loved afterparties, Twitter memes, making TikTok videos, and his dog Layla, who followed him everywhere. He always had a joke ready, but he was also a fierce driver when it came to racing.
Jay, on the other hand, was the "rockstar driver." He played guitar before races, had a philosophical air about him, and had a cover-worthy smile, but when in the car, he was as determined as few others. He was supposed to be Sunghoon's teammate at Red Bull, but he had chosen Mercedes, aiming for a long-term plan. He was balanced but stubborn. Once he made a decision, no one could change his mind.
And then there was Sunghoon. Cold, calculating, focused. He lived only for F1. The only one who skipped F2, catapulted directly into Formula 1 thanks to the Red Bull Academy. The previous year he had come second. This year⌠everything revolved around the championship. The rest was noise. The sun was setting behind the Jeddah skyscrapers, painting the track in orange and pink hues. They cycled in single file and then in parallel. No one spoke for a few minutes until Jay broke the silence.
-You know, Iâm still recovering from that press conference.- Jay said, his tone amused, sharp, and cheeky. Jake chuckled and said, 'That stuff is already in the best moments of the year. I mean, it has meme potential for sure.' Sunghoon didnât respond, but his jaw muscles tightened slightly. -The scene: you shutting up a newly hired intern⌠and her schooling you in front of Jin.- Jay said, and Jake chuckled, looking at Sunghoon, repeating the words you had said a week before: 'Can we say it was your fault, not the carâs?â Boom. Mic drop.' Jake mimicked the gesture with his hand, pretending to throw a microphone. âIt was a stupid question,â Sunghoon said, annoyed. -It was the truth, said in a bold way. Maybe thatâs why it hurt you so much.- Jay said, staring at Sunghoon, who gripped his bike handlebars tighter. 'And anyway⌠sheâs cute. I looked her up afterward. There are clips everywhere, even in Laylaâs profile reels.' He laughed at his joke, while Sunghoon slammed on the brakes and stared at him with the coldest look he could muster. âDonât start with this too,â Sunghoon said with an icy stare. Jake raised his hands and laughed, 'Iâm just saying the pictures turned out well, and she seems like a nice girlâŚ' âI donât want to hear that name in my presence again. Got it?â Sunghoon said, his voice firm, sharp as a blade. -Damn, youâre more sensitive than a diva at the Met Gala,- Jay said. 'Admit it, she made an impression on you.' Jake laughed. âNo.â -Mhm. Iâve known you since you used to steal new tires at karting. If you say no with that voice, itâs a brutal yes disguised as an excuse.-Jay replied with an arched eyebrow. Sunghoon began cycling again, faster. But the two easily caught up with him. 'I canât wait for you to interview me. I promise Iâll answer with 'Yes, miss,' but only if you say it.' Jake responded, glancing at Jay. 'Come on, Hoonie, maybe sheâs exactly the type you need. You need someone to break your facade now and then. You know, someone human. With emotions.' Sunghoon didnât speak, but his hands were gripping the handlebars as if he wanted to break them. His gaze was fixed on the asphalt in front of him, but the images of the press room were still in his mind: full lips, nerdy glasses that couldnât hide the cheeky attitude, the voice that didnât shake in front of him. The voice of someone who didnât kneel. Not even in front of someone like him. Jay (whispering to Jake) -Do you think heâs already thought about it while taking a cold shower?- Jake (laughing) 'Yeah. But he says itâs hatred. Some lies he tells himself really well.' Sunghoon slammed the brakes abruptly. He turned to them with a fiery look. âWhoever talks about her again⌠will walk the track on foot. On an empty stomach.â He shouted, annoyed by the bickering behind him. -Shit. Sorry, boss.- Jay replied, laughing, but under the threat, Jay and Jake were laughing. They were laughing hard because their cold, cynical, icy friend⌠was finally distracted. And that could be far more dangerous than any rival on the grid.
Qualifying had been like dancing on the edge of a knife. In Jeddah, to set a good time, you had to brush against the wall. Literally. Not centimeters. Millimeters. And Sunghoon had done it. Not a scratch, not a smudge. But the clock had spoken clearly: P2. Jin, once again, was faster than him. That evening, in his motorhome, Hoon had consumed himself with the data, the telemetry, every line of the racing line. His engineer knew him well: when he was like this, it was best to leave him alone. No music, no chatter. Just Jin, Red Bull, and obsession. Sunday â Race Red light. Three. Four. Five. Go. Perfect start. Millisecond reaction time. Jin kept the lead, but Hoon was glued to him. Less than 0.3 seconds for twenty laps. At Turn 22, he got so close he could see the carbon fiber on the Mercedes quivering under the pressure. Then, at the end of the straight after the second DRS zone, he did it. He dove in. Fake left, entered right. Jin closed too late. Contact? Almost. But he made it. P1. The pit crew exploded. His heart was pounding in his chest like a tribal drum. But Jin wasnât the type to back down. After six laps, he was back. Right behind him. 0.4. 0.2. 0.1, and then it happened. In the second sector, amidst the chaos of walls and blind corners, Sunghoon suddenly lifted his foot. He braked. For just a moment. That was enough. Jin launched at full speed, and couldnât react.
BANG.
The Mercedes hit the diffuser of the Red Bull. A piece of carbon wing flew onto the track. Screams on the radio.
Jin (via radio): âIs he f*cking insane?!â
Sunghoon (via radio): âWhat the hell was he doing?! I was letting him through! He knew that!â
It was a dirty move. A trick. A provocation. Soon after, Jin passed him again. He still had enough pace, despite the damage, to close P1. Sunghoon, P2. Again. But this time, with the taste of blood between his teeth.
Post-race â Parc fermĂŠ He got out of the car as if he were stepping on broken glass. His helmet still on, his fists clenched. The crowd cheered, but he heard nothing. Just anger. Frustration. And shame. Jin approached him immediately. Taking off his gloves, visibly agitated. 'Are you crazy? What was that?' Jin said, disappointed. âIf you wanted to pass, you couldâve. I left you space.â Sunghoon said coldly. 'You braked suddenly. In the middle of the track. This isnât karting, Hoon. If you want to win a championship⌠do it like a man. Do it clean.' Jin said, staring at him with those severe, veteran eyes. He was in his eighth championship. You didnât play games like this. Not like this. Cameras were everywhere. Microphones even more so. But no one dared to interrupt them. Thatâs when he saw you. Dressed in a long paddock outfit, beige sand, soft and light like the wind blowing from the Gulf. Big sunglasses, a little smile on your lips. The F1TV microphone in your hand, but no question. Just a fixed gaze on him, in silence. A mute challenge. A reminder. He hated you. And yet⌠he just wanted to rip that outfit off you. Sunghoon via radio, entering the pit box: âTell the press office Iâm not going.â PR (via radio): âHoon, thereâs the mandatory press conference.â Sunghoon (cutting): âIâm not going into that room. If needed, fine me. I wonât talk to anyone. Especially not her.â The Red Bull garage door slammed shut with a thud.
The press room was cold. But the adrenaline from the race still burned on the skin, like the Saudi sun. Jin was sitting composed, his gaze focused yet relaxed. Next to him was Heeseung, but the second-place seat was empty. Sunghoon hadn't shown up. No statements, no comments. Just silence and the usual arrogance. You, with the microphone in hand and your heart still racing from the race, asked the routine questions. Precise, professional. But inside, you were seething. That guy was getting under your skin. And beneath your surface.
With your team, you'd just closed a piece that you knew would explode like a bomb in the paddock. Headline:
âPark Sunghoon: pure talent or just ego in a helmet?â
Subtitle:
âTodayâs move on Jin was a gamble on the edge of safety. When ego surpasses adrenaline, risk turns into a threat. And Sunghoon is playing with fire.â
The article ended with:
âRespect is earned by acknowledging your mistakes. But perhaps that kind of respect doesnât interest Sunghoon. Not for now.â
The sky was turning pink, the Arabian sunset descending like velvet over the team tents. You were walking near the Red Bull motorhome, ready to wrap up the weekend⌠when you saw him. Sunghoon. Leaning against the back of his motorhome. His eyes are down on a tablet. Your article opened in front of him. He had his hair pulled back with a band, a Red Bull in hand, and his jumpsuit pants slung low on his hips. He had that lone wolf look. Or maybe, a hunted animal. You stopped. âAre you out of your mind?â you snapped. âThat move⌠You both couldâve been out. What the hell were you thinking?â He slowly lifted his eyes. Started at you with that dark, sharp look. âI donât need a babysitter. And certainly not a nosy journalist who gets excited writing about me.â He raised the tablet. âWhatâs this? Now youâre pretending to be a moral judge?â âYou risked someoneâs life.â âMy life, and mine only.â He chuckled. Cold. Cynical. âThat piece of yours is crap.â And that was when your vein popped. Without thinking, you shoved your hands into his chest and pushed him against the wall. He didnât move an inch. He just blocked you with one hand on your side, hard. Too hard for just a defense. His fingers dug into the lightweight fabric of your dress.
âChrist. But this⌠this drives me crazy. The way she challenges me. The way she touches me. I want to shut her up, not with words. But with mine. And I shouldnât. Iâve got a damn championship to win. And yet Iâm thinking about what she looks like under that dress.â Hoon thought as he shot you a glance.
He looked at you with pupils slightly dilated. A flash crossed his gaze. âWatch out,â he hissed, inches away from you. âYouâre not important enough yet to use those words.â But you didnât back down. âNo?â you whispered, your heart in your throat. âBut enough to get a reaction from you. Mentally⌠and physically.â He slowly released your side, but he did so with deliberate slowness. He turned to leave, but muttered something through clenched teeth: âNext time⌠choose your words better. Or you might find yourself having to swallow them.â And disappeared into the motorhome, but you knew that wasnât the end. It was just the beginning.
The Australian sun had just set, but Albert Park still shimmered with the glow of victory. Sunghoon Park had finally won. First win of the season. First time ahead of Jin. He had driven like a demon straight out of hell. Surgical precision, aggressive yet clean overtakes. The Red Bull was flawlessâbut he was more than that. Youâd followed him all weekend, like always. But this time, the story had changed. And you knew it. So, with your heart pounding in your throat and your brain lit up like an engine pushed to its limits, you wrote an article. For him.
Title:
"Sunghoon Park: Fueled by Hate. And Finally, a Win That Burns."
He drove like he had fire under his wheels. Like every corner was an answer to every word written, every look given, every laugh behind his back. Did he finally show a human side? No. Thankfully, no. Sunghoon Park is as cruel to himself as he is to others. But tonight, Melbourne trembled for him. Because when he wins... it hits you. Like a wound that burns. And damn, it leaves a mark.
Well done, Park. Keep going. Maybe, in the end, someone will love you for this, too.
Click. Published.
And you knew he was reading it. You felt it, under your skin.
That evening, you wore a knee-length black dress with a modest neckline but sensual style. Your hair was down in soft waves, and you wore a floral perfume with warm undertones.
You werenât looking for him. But you werenât avoiding him either.
You rode up to the eleventh floor alone. But when the elevator stopped at the sixth, he stepped in.
Black shirt, collar open, eyes cast down but fully aware. You turned your head to speak.
"Just wanted to say... nice job today. You finally woke up."
He didnât answer right away. Closed his eyes for a second, then slowly turned to you.
"Your piece. I read it. Poison in the shape of praise.
Youâre good with words. Almost as good as you are at playing with me," he said, voice hoarse.
"And youâre good at reacting when I mess with you. We work."
He took a step closer. Too close. The elevator kept rising, but time stopped.
"You provoke me. Always. You wanna know the truth?" He brushed your cheek with the back of his fingers, speaking just inches from your lips.
"It turns me on like hell." And he said it with a smirk that promised nothing goodâthen he kissed you. It wasnât sweet. It was violent. Fiery. An implosion.
His lips were hot, and hungry. His hands grabbed your waist and the back of your neck. Your body hit the elevator wall with a dull thudâbut you didnât complain.
You couldnât. You were too far gone.
Sunghoonâs tongue pushed into your mouth with force, weeks of restraint pouring out in one breathless moment. His kisses were rough, and dirty. He bit your lower lip too hard, then moved to your ear.
"I can't take it anymore. Pretending. Ignoring you. You drive me crazy and I don't know if I want to kiss you... or shut you up with your hands tied behind your back."
he whispered, panting.
He bit your earâfirst gently, then harderâwhile lifting you slightly against the wall, fingers digging into your sides like he wanted to leave a mark. You scratched his shoulder blade. He chuckled. A low, wicked laugh. Bastard. And god, so sexy.
"I thought you needed focus, Park," you said, moaning.
"Apparently, you are my focus," he murmured, trailing his hand along your thighâand your whole body shivered.
DING. Floor 11.
He pulled away. His eyes were glazed, but clear.
"This isnât over," he said darkly.
"It hasnât even started," you whispered as you stepped past him, legs shakingâbut the fire? That was just beginning.
Barcelona.
The circuit where it had all begun.
Where Park Sunghoon, just seventeen years old, had won his very first F1 race as a rookieâblowing away every prediction, every doubt, every insult hurled at him online.
That day, the world had dubbed him the Ice Prince. Unshakable. Precise. Ruthless.
But this time⌠this time, he hadnât won.
Heâd finished fourth. A wrong strategy, an unstable car after the second pit stop, and far too many thoughts clouding his head.
Heâd been leading the championship for weeks. Max had dropped out of the top spots. Jin was only a few points behind and yet, something⌠something was slipping through his fingers.
Jake and Jay noticed it too.
On their days off in Monaco, when they went running along the coast in the morning or locked themselves in the gym, they saw how Hoon trained harder than necessary. How he sometimes drove one of his vintage cars for hoursâjust to outrun his thoughts. How he studied telemetry in silence, even on rest days.
Jakeâwith his loud laugh and Layla the puppy always in his armsâtried to make him smile.
Jay, more observant, said nothing. But he watched and now and then, during quiet moments, the two exchanged knowing glances and smiled.
Because they knew something Hoon would never admit:
There was a journalistâwith too much light in her eyesâwho was getting under his skin.
Barcelona. Post-race.
In the Red Bull garage, the air was tense.
Mechanics worked in silence. No one dared speak to him.
The team principal had simply nodded and said:
"Today wasnât your race. But the season is long."
But Sunghoon wasnât listening. He had taken off his race suit, changed clothes, and now sat outside the motorhome, hidden in the shade.
The sun was setting slowly, and the roar of the engines had faded into the distance and thatâs where you found him.
In a corner of the paddock you knew by heart. Your heart saw him firstâbefore your eyes did. He was sitting there, the Ice Prince. Only that night, the ice was starting to melt.
You walked overâthis time with no microphone. Just your voice.
âYou didnât run away this time,â you said softly.
He looked up slowly. Tired eyes. Angry eyes.
âAnd youâre still not tired of chasing me,â he replied, voice low and laced with venom. You stopped just a few steps away. Silence. There was no challenge in your stanceâonly honesty.
You looked him in the eye. He didnât look away.
âI saw you make mistakes today. For the first time⌠you looked human.â
His jaw tensed. He gave a small nod. A silent admission.
âItâs not easy, trying to be perfect⌠is it?â Silence again. Only the distant hum of generators and the pounding in your chest.
Then, he spoke.
âI donât want to be perfect.âŚI want to win. I want to deserve the seat Iâve been given and every time I screw up, every time I lose, it feels like Iâm spitting in the face of those who believed in me.â
He looked down.
For one fleeting moment, he seemed fragile.
âAnd me⌠in all of this⌠am I just a distraction?â You didnât ask out of pity. Nor to provoke him. You asked because you wanted to know.
He inhaled deeply. Didnât look at you. But his voice waveredâbarely.
âThereâs no room for you. There shouldnât be room for anything. But you⌠youâre there. Always. Because you provoke me every damn weekend, and I think about you, I see youâwhen I drive, when I lose, when I lock myself in the gym, when I race along the CĂ´te dâAzur, even then. And I wish I could rip you out of my head forever. But youâre there. In my thoughts. And you drive me insane.â
His fingers movedâslowly. He took your hand. A gesture that wasnât like him. A crack. A surrender. A silent confession.
His skin was warm. His grip firm, but not rough. He looked downâlike he hated himself for it.
âAnd that⌠is the problem.â You didnât reply right away.
Then, slowly, you knelt beside himâstill holding his hand.
âMaybe⌠youâre not the problem. Maybe the problem is that, for the first time⌠youâve found something you canât control.â
He looked at you. Eyes not full of tearsâbut of storm.
âIf I let you in, I wonât be able to focus. And if I keep you outâŚI wonât be able to breathe.â
Silence.
âThen choose what scares you more: losing⌠or feeling something.â
He didnât answer. He let go of your hand but he didnât stand. Didnât walk away he stayed. With you and in the silence of the Catalan night,
for the very first time, it wasnât the sound of an engine keeping him companyâbut you.
The sky above Silverstone seemed to barely hold the weight of the tensions built up on track, it had been an explosive Grand Prix. Sunghoon started second, Jin third. Everyoneâs eyes were on them. No one was talking about anything else. The battle between them had become the main storyline of the season. And when, on lap 37, Jin attempted the inside pass, Hoon didnât back down. The two brushed against each other, their tires touched, and the Mercedes flew off into the gravel, ending the race. Sunghoon continued, but the damage to the floor of the Red Bull sent him sliding to fourth place. Zero points for Jin. Just twelve for him. A disaster for both and a perfect explosion for the media.
After the race, the air in the paddock was as tense as a rubber band about to snap. Sunghoon got out of the car with his suit unbuttoned to his chest, sweat on his skin, his face burning. He threw his gloves onto the wall and ignored anyone who tried to speak to him.
But you were waiting for him.
Microphone in hand, posture impeccable, eyes determined.
You had watched the replay several times: the move had been risky, borderline. And you wanted his version but you also wanted to provoke him. You wanted to break through his ice. You intercepted him just as he was about to enter the garage, with two PRs on his heels.
âPark, got a second?â
He turned, saw you, and stopped. His black eyes immediately narrowed.
âWhat is it now, you want to ask if I tried to kill Jin?â
âNo. But if you want to talk about it, we can add it to the interview.â
Silence. The cameramen were already there. The microphone was on.
You took a deep breath, then pressed on.
âYouâve been complaining all season about how Jin is treated like a deity. But today, when you had control, you chose to push him off. Is this the champion mentality youâre trying to show the world?â
Sunghoon stared at you. His eyes turned to stone.
âYou know what the problem with this generation of journalists is? You all think the track is a reality show. This isnât Netflix. This isnât âDrive to Survive.â Itâs Formula 1. And I donât have to prove anything to you.â
âThen why do you seem so obsessed with what we write? Why do you read every single line that concerns you?â
The shot hit its mark. You knew it a muscle twitched on his jaw.
Then, without saying another word, he turned and disappeared into the garage but the look he gave you⌠was a promise.
The call came less than thirty minutes later. From his PR.
âMr. Park would like you to come to his office. Room 813. He says he âwants to discuss your journalistic skills.ââ
You didnât respond, you just went, you opened the door without knocking.
The room was bright, modern, with large windows looking out onto the now-empty track. Sunghoon was standing there, hands in his black pants pockets, a tight t-shirt that hugged his chest.
As soon as he saw you, he lifted his chin.
âTook you less time than expected. Ready to apologize?â
You closed the door slowly behind you. The blood was pounding in your temples.
âApologize? For asking a question any journalist would ask? You called me here to hear applause or to confirm that you have thin skin when it comes to criticism?â
He stepped toward you, slowly, like a predator.
âI called you here because what you did was personal. It wasnât a questionâit was an attack. And you know what? You like it. You like to poke me. You like to make me lose control.â
You clenched your jaw.
âBecause youâre arrogant. Because you think the world owes you something just because you drive faster than the rest. But you know what I saw today? Panic. Haste. A kid who feels threatened by someone whoâs won more than him.â
He stopped just two steps away from you. Looked down at you.
âYouâre just a brat. A nuisance. A background noise. And youâre playing with fire.â
You moved closer. Anger, excitement, tensionâit was all mixed together.
âAnd youâre a walking ego with an inferiority complex. But hey, at least one of us has the balls to admit it.â
His gaze burned. He took a step forward. Then another. Now he was too close. You could feel his breath.
âKneel.â
The word hit like a whip you didnât back down. Your eyes locked onto his.
âFuck you.â
He smiled. Cold. Obscene. Dangerous.
âIâm asking you to choose. Either you run like everyone else who canât handle meâŚOr you show me that your mouth serves for something useful.â
Time stopped.
There was no noiseâonly the beating of your heart.
His hands had closed on either side of your hips, not touching you, but surrounding you with the tension of the gesture.
It was then, in that suspended moment between hate and desire, that you realized neither of you would give in first.
Sunghoon looks at you like you're a mistake. But the noticeable swelling in his pants screams the opposite. "What is it, champ?" you say bending your head to the side. "Are you afraid of a journalist who asks uncomfortable questions even with her mouth full?" He doesn't laugh. He never does. But his eyes shine with repressed desire, burning anger. "You talk too much." growl. "And you don't know when to shut up." You laugh, provocative. "Perhaps. But I bet I could teach you to moan my name before you can silence me." At that moment he snaps. He grabs you by the back of his head and pushes you against the wall, his forehead a breath away from his. "Don't tempt me, little viper. I'll break you."
"Promises, promisesâŚ" you whisper, biting your lip. Slowly, you kneel before him. Look at his belt, then go back to his eyes. "Can I open the gift?" Silence. Then a dry: "Do it. But no scenes." You unlock it with slow fingers, and you already feel the heat growing between you. When you unbutton his pants and lower them, his black by Supreme "Really Supreme?" raise your eyebrows. "Did you want to impress someone?" "Shut your mouth⌠or use it well." You laugh slowly, and then you light up. "Oh, don't worry. She'll be busy for a while." Lower the bigboxer, tense, throbbing. You bite your lips. Feel the water rise. "Christ, Hoon ⌠below you are a champion even without a helmet." He looks at you as if he wants to pierce you, but the beating that pulsates on his toe betrays his self-control. You stroke it with slow fingers, going up and down. With your other hand, you stroke his side hard, feeling his muscles contract under your skin. "Let me guessâŚ" whisper, as your tongue grazes its tip. "That's the weakness you didn't want me to find out." "Silent," he grunts. "Suck, now." You look at him, provocatively, and say: "I'm not as good as you think." His hand grabs your hair, squeezing it at the root, forcing you to open your mouth. "Then learn. I just want to hear my moans and the sound of your throat as you swallow me."
You take him between your lips slowly, while he sighs a " FuckâŚâ that sends a shiver down your spine. Feel his warm skin on the tongue, the tip smooth against the palate. You begin to move, lips tightened around him, tongue working in slow circles. He groans quietly but does not give up control. He guides you with his grip on his hair, and moves you as he wants. "Look how good you are when you stop talkingâŚ" he murmurs, his voice hoarse. "Maybe I should keep you like that more often." You cast a glance at him, while your mouth is full of him, and slightly tighten your grip around his left testicle, to challenge him. Sunghoon moans, a growl that becomes a crude groan. He pulls your hair with more force. "You're playing with fire, bitch." With one blow, he pushes it deeper into you. Your hands are clasped, one against his belly, the other pumping him with alternating rhythm to your mouth. You are moving as if you are enjoying a delicious dessert, sucking and licking with ravenous attention. You're destroying it, and you know it. He looks at you like he can't believe how well you're doing. Or how crazy you're driving him. "God, I can't stand youâŚ" he moans. "But I swear you will never find another who fucks you like that." Lift your mouth for a moment, your lips shiny. "Who talked about fucking? I'm here to do a thorough investigationâŚ" "Head down. Mouth open." And push, this time decisively. His hips move, and he penetrates you deeper, while his sighs turn into broken grunts. The salty taste of his skin, his smell, the tension in his voice that's all. He's coming, and you know it. "Take it all, bitch. You owe me." And with one last hoarse groan, you hear it explode in your mouth. His seed invades your palate, salty and bitter, while his hands hold you firm against him. You watch him calmly swallow it, never taking your eyes off his. When it ends, you're still there, satisfied, your mouth licking your lips slowly. "I would say that this âŚ" you whisper, standing up," ⌠deserves an adult-only article." He grabs you by the waist, holds you tightly against himself, and in a low, hungry voice says: "I hope you're not done. I certainly don't."
He lifts you off the ground with one hand behind the nape of your neck and the other on your hip. His body is hot, still tense from the pleasure you just gave him. "Anyone who stands against me⌠" growls against your neck, in a deep and dangerous voice, "âŚyou have to accept the consequences!" You try to mask the excited trembling in your voice. "I just did my job as a journalistâŚ" Sunghoon pushes you to the desk. Red Bull sheets are scattered everywhere. Strategies, telemetry. And also ⌠your printed article. "This?" he says, grabbing the paper. "Your version of "work"?" You take it and read it aloud, with a cheeky chuckle:
âHas he finally shown the human side? Nope. And fortunately. Sunghoon Park is as cruel to himself as he is to others. But tonight, Melbourne shook for him.â
He looks at you with those sharp eyes and whispers, "You're not as important as you think. But fuck, how crazy you make meâŚ" He folds you firmly on the desk. Paper rustles under your skin. Feel the cold wood on your bare thighs. Lift your skirt up, slowly. "Always in these good girl skirtsâŚ" he spits with sharp contempt. "You're a bitch, especially with me." He hits you with a slap on the butt. Strong. It makes you gasp and moan almost reflexively. The pain stings you but immediately mixes with a jolt of pleasure that leaves you breathless. "Oh, ChristâŚ" you sigh. "You like it, huh?" murmur against your back. "Do you want another one?" You don't answer. He moves your panties to the side. And when he looks, he remains silent for a second that seems eternal. "You're already so wet." His voice is lowered, almost fierce. "And I didn't even touch you." With two fingers he opens you, and caresses your clitoris with the precision of those who want to punish and reward at the same time. A groan escapes you, raw, primitive. "Look how you tremble." He sticks a finger in you slowly, then a second. The obscene sound of your wet body makes him smile. "So soaked. For me. Just for me." Then he lowers his pants again. His cock, hard and shiny, leans against your entrance. "Tell me you want it." he orders you. "Fuck me, Park." whispered. With a strong push, he gets into you. It's chunky, hot, and fills you with an impact that leaves you gasping, fingernails sinking into the edge of the desk. "So tightâŚ" he moans. "As if no one had ever taken you properly."
Every shot is deep, and brutal but rhythmic. The desk moves under you, sheets sliding to the ground. One is you. One is him. One is your sharp tongue, and the other is his fierce response. His hands grab your hips. Then they slide up, one to the neck, the other to the breast. He pulls you back against himself as he continues to push in. "Yell at me how much you hate me." "I hate youâŚ" he whispers through his teeth, trembling. "âŚbut fuck, continue." And he does. It takes you stronger, deeper, until your thoughts are no longer words, but moans, cries, broken requests. He fucks you like it's the only way to silence the war between you. When you feel that you are about to come, he whispers in your ear: "Let me feel how a journalist who can no longer use words trembles."
His cock pushes back into you with a force that takes your breath away. A scream escapes from your throat as you feel the pressure inside grows like a wave about to overwhelm you. "I want to come âŚ" moans, the voice broken. "Please let me comeâŚ" Sunghoon does not slow down. But he bends over you, his mouth warm against your ear. "And why would I do that? For a bitch who writes articles just for the pleasure of teasing me?" You stutter, confused by pleasure, almost unable to think. "I⌠I ⌠it was just ⌠part of my jobâŚ" He grabs your chin from behind, forcing you to turn your head slightly towards him. His eyes are cold, and hungry, yet full of something darker. "Then pray." he orders you, pushing even harder inside you.
"Fuck you." you spit with a trembling voice, looking for a shred of control. But he looks at you with a sharp grin. "That's exactly what I'm doing, baby doll." Then it almost completely comes out of you, leaving you empty, about to go crazy. You feel the emptiness, you feel the absence, and your body moans in despair. "No ⌠no, pleaseâŚ" he whispers, his voice broken. He smiles, satisfied. "Good girl." He caresses your clit with two fast, precise fingers, and a moment later you come with a choked cry, your moods dripping down her still pulsating shaft, which fills you all the way again with a deep thrust. Your moans mix with his. Every stroke sends you another spasm of pleasure. Feel the orgasm explode inside you like a slow and devastating bomb. "Where⌠where do you want to come?" he groans, his breath panting. "I'll take the pillâŚ" you gasps. "I'm clean⌠and you?" "Me too. Regular tests. No girl in months." "Then fill-fill me. In. I want to hear you come inside me." With two final thrusts, you hear it explode. His hot seed invades you, you feel it squirt deep, and then overflow. The threads of his pleasure begin to trickle out of you along your thighs, while he stays there, inside you, panting, his forehead resting on your sweaty back. You both tremble. You both groan. Both of you, for an instant, are alive only in that wild, dirty, sincere bond. He stays inside you a little longer, his hand holding you steady against him. His breath caresses your nape. Then he slowly walks away, and you feel the heat dripping from you as he gently turns you around this time. Rest your head against his bare chest, sweaty, still shaken with pleasure. And he, unexpectedly, slips a thumb on your cheek, calmly stroking.
"You are a damned temptation." he murmurs in a hoarse voice. You look up and, with a weary but cheeky smile, whisper: "You'll see what I write this time. The title will be:
"Pilot under pressure: unexpected explosion".
He snorts, but he has a half-smile. "Don't think too much about me during the summer break." he tells you, the voice returned harder. "And if you even try to date some poor idiot, remember that only I ⌠can take you like that. Only I can make you feel alive." He bends down to pick up his pants and looks at you once again. Then with a silent gesture of the chin, he points you to the door. "Now go. Before I change my mind and fuck you against the window again."
The summer holidays in Formula 1 were the only time of year when you could finally escape. No circuits, no hospitality, no press conferences with arrogant drivers and eyes like ice.
Just your home, the salt on your skin, and your feet in the warm sand of the Mediterranean.
You spent the days with your hands buried in bowls of cold pasta and grilled fish, the evenings filled with ice cream, slow conversations, and light dresses. Yet every time you closed your eyes⌠there were no seashells or waves to lull you to sleep.
There were his hands.
His pushes.
His killer gaze that seemed to say, âNever try to forget me.â And it worked. Because you couldnât.
Some guys had asked you out. One with the gentle smile of your fatherâs pharmacist, another was a Danish surfer you met at a beach party. All nice, available, perfect for a summer fling.
But your body didnât react. Your mind went blank the moment you thought about kissing anyone else. Sunghoon had branded you.
Not with sweetness, but with that cold fire only someone who never gives anything can make burn and you hated him for that.
Because he didnât even give you a reason to stop thinking about him.
No paparazzi shots.
No compromising photos.
No mysterious girl appearing in his stories.
He had spent a week in Korea, you had found out by accident from a fanpage post that had spotted a picture of him at Incheon airport. But then he had returned to his kingdom: Montecarlo.
Jake, Heeseung, and Jay were posting stories on luxury boats, laughing with glasses of white wine between their fingers, and evenings by the CĂ´te dâAzur. But not him.
He was like a shadow behind them. He showed up occasionally, with an expression too serious for a man on vacation.
Training.
Silence.
Balanced meals.
Zero clubs. Zero Oisha. Zero Twiga. A championship driver a war monk.
Sunghoon Park seemed to live in selective chastity, as if sexâeven the wild kind with youâwas a distraction only allowed in the heat of an impulse. Then? Nothing.
Yet you still felt his skin on yours, like a scent that wouldnât go away.
The way he had taken you, teased you, humiliated you, and made you come at the same time.
The way he had looked at you in the end, while saying in that raspy voice:
âOnly I can make you feel alive.â
He had kept his promise.
But now? He had left you to manage that emptiness. And you hated getting lost in emptiness. Maybe that was what hurt you the most: no longer even having the chance to truly hate him.
Sunghoon Park never smiled at Monza. He didnât answer questions with enthusiasm, he didnât sign caps, and he didnât shake hands more than necessary. He had returned from vacation with the same sharp discipline he had left with: trained, focused, unreachable. No gossip, no distractions, no women. The only thing that mattered to him was winning and Monza was his. He could feel it. Every turn, every meter, every gear change seemed to align with his blood. But there was one problem. You. You, with your fluttering skirt and the media badge, wore like a summer bracelet. You, laughing too loudly in the press room, asked questions that drove him mad with frustration and desire. You, who never bent to him and perhaps, for this reason, you had become impossible to ignore.
The sun was beating down on the Monza paddock.
You were talking to two colleagues when oneâa British journalist in a too-tight tie and oversized egoâgot a little too close.
He laughed at his own jokes, brushed your elbow too often, and then, with a winning smirk, he said:
'Are you sure youâd rather interview those Korean robots than go out with a real man?'
His hand brushed your back, lower than was professional. Before you had time to respond with your usual sharp sarcasm, a cold voice interrupted the scene.
âGet your hands off her.â The tone was so low and sharp that the air seemed to freeze.
You turned.
Sunghoon was there. His suit was half-open, dark hair slightly tousled, sweat on his skin, eyes darker than usual.
The journalist looked at him, trying to laugh it off. 'Relax, champ. We were just talking.'
âI donât care. Youâre two seconds away from ruining your career.â Hoonâs voice was flat. Serious. Lethal.
The colleague made a ridiculous apologetic gesture and disappeared into the crowd. You raised an eyebrow. âWow. What a knight.â
Sunghoon didnât laugh. But he didnât walk away either.
He was staring at you. Eyes locked with yours. As if he were looking for something. As if he wanted to make sure you were okay.
âI donât need a bodyguard, you know? I can handle myself.â Your tone was provocative but sweet. He tilted his head slightly.
âItâs not for you. Itâs to avoid breaking his nose and ending up in the headlines.â
You burst out laughing and that was when you saw it. The corner of his mouth curled. A half-smile and then, for just a second, his gaze drifted down to your bare legs, to your throat as you laughed, to the fingers holding your notebook.
Then it returned to your eyes.
He had been looking when he shouldnât have.
The moment was interrupted by the roar of engines. The race was about to start.
After the race â Podium
He had won. Sunghoon Park had won Monza in front of the sea of red, the screaming fans, the delirious engineers but when he raised the trophy, his eyes only searched for one thing.
You and there you were. Radiant smile, hair tousled by the wind, eyes sparkling from the sun⌠or perhaps from something more.
You approached later, at the back of the paddock.
âCongrats, champ.â You said it with a strange tone. Affectionate. Almost tender. Sunghoon slowly turned around. He looked at you and for the first time, he didnât respond with sarcasm.
He didnât call you âannoying.â He didnât roll his eyes.
âThank you.â Just that. One sincere word. Calm. Real and then, quieter still:
âI missed you.â
You stayed there, suspended between the smell of gasoline and the setting sun and the mask he had always worn⌠seemed to have cracked just a little.
The humidity in Singapore clung to your skin like a wet dress. Even at midnight.
Youâd spent the whole weekend feeling hot, restless, and confused: â restless from the heat, â restless because of the race, â restless because, ever since Monza⌠things between you two were no longer clear.
Sunghoon had changed. But he wouldnât admit it. He was still quiet, but now he searched for you with his eyes. He was still cold, but his gaze softened when he spoke to you.
And today, when Jay won with his new team and Hoon came in second⌠he smiled. A real smile.
Youâd asked him, microphone in hand: âFirst time Iâve seen you happy about not winning.â
Heâd run a hand through his sweaty hair, shrugging. âMy two best friends were on the podium with me. Doesnât happen often.â
Then, a quick glance sideways. âAnd Jay earned it. He pulled off the lap of his life. I respect that.â
It was the longest sentence heâd ever said to you. And maybe the most honest.
That night, the Fullerton hotel was dressed in gold. From the top floor, the track looked like a constellation of artificial stars.
Youâd had two rum-and-pineapple cocktails, with something else in them that made you feel both weightless and burning hot.
Wearing a short black silk dress, hair loosely curled, you smiled like a girl who knew she was playing with fire.
Then you saw him. Sunghoon. Suit unzipped, a half-buttoned shirt, collar open, hair slicked back with his fingers. Beautiful. Untouchable.
But your body remembered him too well and your mind hated him for it. You walked up with a little smirk and said: âYou know, I thought you were going to kiss Jay on the podium today. You looked so⌠happy.â
He stared at you for a second. âAre you drunk?â
You pouted. âJust a little⌠just enough to find you even sexier than usual.â Sunghoon clenched his jaw. A moment later, he grabbed your wrist.
âCome with me.â
âHey!â you protested, laughing. âI just want to have fun. Canât you play along?â
He turned to you, eyes low, voice rough. âYou will have fun. Just not the kind youâre thinking of.â
With a bold spark, you whispered against his ear: âAre you⌠my fun, Hoon?â
He placed a hand over your mouth. Not hardâjust enough to shut you up. You looked up at him, your tongue lightly grazing his palm.
He pulled it back instantly. âYouâre impossible.â
The hotel room was cool with air conditioning, but your body... was burning. The nightâs humidity had seeped into your skin. And the tequila into your blood. You were still laughing as you leaned back against the closed door, your bare shoulders brushing the wood.
he black silk dress clung to you like a second skin, slipping lower with each heavier breath.
âDidnât think you were the type to rescue drunk damsels at the post-race party.â
Your voice was light, tipsy, teasing. But your eyes... wanted him, Sunghoon shrugged off his blazer and left it on the chair.
White shirt unbuttoned to the chest, elegant black trousers eyes down, jaw clenched.
âI didnât rescue you.â
âNo? Then why bring me here?â
He stepped closer. Slow. Controlled. He smelled of aftershave and warm skin. âBecause you were one step away from real trouble.â
âMaybe that was the ideaâŚâ A smirk played on your lips. You knew you were provoking him. And you loved it. He didnât answer. He leaned in, took your chin between two fingers.
âYou like playing games, donât you?â
âWith you? Always.â
And then he kissed you. Hard. Certain. Without mercy. His tongue claimed your mouth, and you moaned against his lips, grabbing at his shirt.
His hands moved to your hips, then lower, gripping you with force.
âYouâre drunk. And too turned on.â
âThatâs on you.â
You rested your forehead against his chest.
âI havenât stopped thinking about you since Silverstone. And I hate that.â
Sunghoon lifted your face with both hands.
âThen hate me better.â
The kiss that followed was slower. Deeper. Then he guided you gently to the bed and knelt in front of you.
âSpread your legs.â
You looked at him with glassy eyes.
âYes, champ.â
âDonât say it like that. You know what it does to me.â
His voice was low, nearly a growl as your thighs parted, he slowly lifted the silk, revealing the delicate black underwear already damp.
He looked up at you.
âAlways this ready for me, huh?â
âOnly for you. But donât get used to it.â
He gave a dry, sarcastic laugh.
âI donât want to get used to it. I want to ruin it.â
His fingers brushed against the fabric you gasped right away. Then he moved under it. Slow. Precise. He was learning your body like he studied a trackâcurve by curve.
âGod, youâre soaked already.â
âStop talking to me like that...â
âWhy? Sounds like even my voice gets you off.â
His fingers started moving in earnest. First slow. Then faster. One, then two. Then his thumb joined in, finding your most sensitive spot.
You were about to lose control. Legs shaking. Sweat trailing down your temples.
âHoon... Iâm gonna...â
âNo. Not yet.â
He stood, eased you back onto the bed, and came over you. Your clothes still on, but desire naked. Blazing. His kisses trailed down your neck. Your shoulders. Between your breasts.
âYouâre a constant temptation,â he murmured, lips hot against your skin.
âAnd a problem. One Iâm not sure I want to fix... or destroy.â
You grabbed the back of his neck.
âThen destroy me.â
He pressed against youâhard, hot, exactly where you needed him. You moaned so real, it made him shut his eyes like it hurt. Then he looked at youâlips wet, eyes dark.
âThis is the last time.â
âAre we sure about that?â
You bit his lip. He sighedâbut didnât pull away. In fact, his hand returned to you, deeper, faster. You came for himâshaking, breathless, undone. He held you close, gently kissing your forehead. Then he pulled back and looked at you and you, curled into his chest, whispered:
âYouâre not as cold as you pretend to be.â
He turned, gave the faintest smile.
âAnd youâre not as a good girl as you pretend to be.â
Sunghoon felt at home. It wasnât Seoulânoâbut Suzuka reminded him why heâd started all this. The Japanese asphalt under his tires had a different sound. Almost intimate and this⌠this was the turning point.
The title was just within reach.
Jin, his most relentless rival, was only a few points ahead. One mistake⌠or a bit more courage. Thatâs all it would take.
You, on the other hand, arrived in Suzuka feeling strange.
Too quiet. Too alert. Something gnawed at your stomachâa mix between a warning and fear. It wasnât jet lag. It wasnât the heat. It was him.
You saw him from a distance, in the garage.
That blue-and-black race suit clung to his body like a gladiatorâs armor. Head down, focusedâbut you could read beyond the surface.
You approached under the guise of work, your press badge clenched in your fingers.
âHere to confess you already miss me?â
His voice, sharp as alwaysâbut his eyes⌠searched for yours.
âNo.â You bit your lip and handed him a canned coffee.
âI came to tell you to be careful at the start.â
âIâve been racing since I was four.â He laughed quietly.
âI know what Iâm doing.â
âI know. But IâŚâ
You hesitated. Then stood on your toes and kissed himâbrieflyâjust below the mole by his eye.
He didnât move. Didnât speak. He just looked at you. But insideâinside, something cracked.
âWhy did she do that? Why now? Why like this? It was a useless kiss, shortâŚbut it left me more exposed than a thousand words.â
You turned quickly and walked away. He stayed there, too still for too long.
The race start was clean then came lap three. The fight was onâSunghoon and Jin, wheel to wheel through the fast section before Turn 9.
Your voice in the mic had just begun to rise whenâCRASH.
Jin tried the inside, Sunghoon closed too late. The contact was sharp.
Hoonâs car slammed into the barriersâhard, direct a front wheel flew off. Carbon brakes burst into smoke. Global broadcast switched to instant replays, you didnât scream, you didnât speak, you let the mic fall.
-Where are you going?!- yelled the cameraman behind you.
But you didnât stop. You tore through the media area, ran through the Red Bull hospitality corridors.
Two hours. Two endless hours then a doctor emerged from the medical room.
âWho are you?â
âHis girlfriend.â The words came out without thinking a lie? Maybe but it felt like the only thing true.When you opened the doorâhe was there.
Laid out. Neck brace. Bandage on his brow.
Alive. You didnât say a word.
You leapt into his armsâgentlyâand he pulled you in with one free hand.
Then he kissed you. In front of everyone. Without a second thought and something shifted. It wasnât just tension anymore. It wasnât just a game. It was truth.
You pulled back slightly, hands cupping his cheeks.
âYou scared me to death.â
âI thought you only fell for the thrill.â
âNo.â
You looked him straight in the eye.âYouâre not just a problem anymore.â
He smiled. Slowly. Then closed his eyes and whispered against your forehead: âYouâre my only distraction.â
The lights of Abu Dhabi didnât just shine on the track. They lit up an entire seasonâracing hearts, stolen glances in the paddock, fingers intertwined in the shadows, and words never spoken out loud. The world was watching. And you⌠you couldnât stop watching him.
The weekend had started with a tension that felt electric. Sunghoon started P2. Jin was on pole. Everyone knew it: everything would be decided here. The world title was balanced between two frozen flames. But youâdeep downâyou always felt it. That Red Bull helmet, number 02, would be the first to cross the finish line.
In the final laps, the air was so thick it couldâve been cut with a heartbeat. Lap 53. A crash. Safety car. Sunghoonâs radio crackled.
â âBox, now.â â âAre you sure?â â âTrust us. This is your moment.â
Fresh tires changed everything. Jin stayed out. And you held your breath. The last two laps became the cleanest, fiercest battle of the season.
And when heâat the penultimate cornerâfound that tiny window, that perfect braking point, when he slipped through like a scalpel and overtook Jin at Turn 9⌠The world flipped upside down.
Then, over the radio: âLet me hear her voice.â
It was the engineerâhe turned to you, handed you the mic.
â âCopy, Park Sunghoon. Go claim your destiny.â
He laughed. He groaned something into the radio. And then he pushed. Pushed like the entire year was packed into those last two kilometers.
Checkered flag. P1. World Champion.
âYouâre world champion!â you screamed, voice breaking, tears rolling down your cheeks. You heard him sob. Sunghoon Park. The ice prince. The robot. The boy without a heart. He was crying.
He parked the car like it was a ritual. Jumped out, and before removing his helmet, kissed the car. Then the tiresâlike he was thanking a partner. Then, the crowd. He threw himself into them, as if needing proof that it was all real.
On the podium, he was unrecognizable. Laughing, crying, shouting in Korean. He sang the anthem with a broken voice and champagne in his eyes. Jake and Jin sprayed him like kids, and for once, he just looked⌠alive.
And then he saw you.
You were there for work, still wearing your badge, mic in hand. But he didnât care. He grabbed your wrist, ignoring cameramen, PR, the whole world.
âSunghoon! I have an interview toââ
âNot now. Youâre mine.â
He pulled you through the motorhome, down the still-warm hallways of the garage. Opened the door to his room. Closed it behind him.
Then he looked at you. And the silence hit.
âI canât play this game with you anymore.â âMe neither,â you whispered. âI thought youâd just be an annoyance. A distraction. But insteadâŚâ
He stepped closer. His breath still ragged from the race. The smell of asphalt and sweat, of victory and desire, wrapped around you like heat.
Sunghoon's lips smelled of champagne and victory. And you ⌠you were hungry. Of him, of his body, of his ego that smelled of warm skin and sweet sweat. He held you to himself with almost desperate force, as if he feared that you might vanish, escape, dissolve in the air of the suite. The noise of the party downstairs was just a distant echo. He moaned softly when you sank your fingers into his damp hair. âI can't take it anymore⌠" he whispered, his voice hoarse, tense. You smiled at him, cheeky. "Poor champion ⌠so impatient.â Slowly, almost to punish him, you let him down the Red Bull suit, then the thermal jersey, revealing that body polished by fatigue and glory. The strained, sculpted muscles smelled of adrenaline. You stooped, sinking your lips to his candid, salty skin, sowing bites and hickeys like a signature. "They'll all see them," you whispered between bites. "Everyone will know that you are mine.â He grabbed your butt hard, barely growling. "Stop it," he admonished you, but the voice was shaken. You answered only with another slow lick on the line of hairs below the navel. You pulled his suit down altogether,and he stayed in bo bo His gaze burned. You rubbed against him, shamelessly, like a cat in heat. He snapped, grabbing you by the hips. âChrist. LookâŚâ His hands, big, calloused, slipped under your sand-colored dress, mercilessly lifting it. "Raise your arms.â You did it, slowly, looking him straight in the eye. "Who the fuck are you dressed up for?â he growled, his gaze lost between your sand thong and the transparent bra. âFor you, " you replied, almost chanting. "Just for you.â You rubbed against his erection, and he snorted a sharp laugh. "Keep it up and get on your knees before I get to touch you as you deserve.â He pushed you to the bed, decided, and when his teeth sank into one of your bare buds, your breath broke.
"Oh ⌠Hoon âŚ" you stammered, your voice broken with pleasure, as you tried to get your legs between his. "Do you see it? You're all mine alreadyâ he hissed at your skin. He sucked you, tasted you, explored you as if entitled to every inch. Then he stopped suddenly, and in a hoarse, rough voice whispered in your ear: âI wanted to fuck your breasts until you forget your name. But now ⌠now I just want to sink into you.â
He slipped your panties with an almost sadistic slowness, the light fabric surrendering between his strong and impatient fingers. His dark eyes, shiny with desire, rested on your damp center, and the smile that folded his lips was typical of a man who knew he had won. "Look how reduced you are," he whispered, biting his lower lip softly. âAll wet just because I'm looking at you. You've always been an arrogant little bitch, but underneath it all⌠two fingers of mine are enough to make you tremble.â His words made you groan. But it was the tone that broke you: low, rough, loaded with malice. "And now shut up," he added, as his lips glided slowly over your thighs. He began to suck your skin, to brand you with moist kisses and light bites, climbing up, approaching, barely touching you where you wanted to feel it most. You writhed under him, and the words came out to you in sobs, cheeky. "Come on, HoonieâŚdon't drive me crazy like that ⌠â "Shut up, baby doll," he hissed. "Dolls don't talk, they get used.â Then he looked you straight in the eye and let his tongue slide against you, with a decisive, expert gesture. The scream exploded in your throat, but he plugged your mouth with one hand, eyes fixed on yours. "You want them to hear you scream my name, bitch?â You nod, moaning under his grasp, and he growls a: âSo you ruin me⌠and I like you crazy.â
His tongue moved in slow and deep circles, then quick and cheeky, while his breathing mingled with yours. When he stuck two fingers inside you, your body rose from the bed, arched like a stretched bow. "Say my name," he ordered. "Hoon⌠Hoonie, yeahâŚoh my God ⌠â "Stop coming without permission," he admonished you, clasping your hips tightly. âI can't⌠pleaseâŚI can'tâŚ" He added another, slow, torturing you, making you moan his name like a broken prayer. âYou're taking everything so well, " he hissed. âI can't wait to replace these fingers with my cock, baby doll.â Those words sent you further. A warm, overwhelming wave shook you, and you came against his fingers and mouth. He drank it all, slowly, with a hungry and satisfied expression. "He knows about you and victory. Better than champagne.â Then he pulled up, his voice hoarse and his chest rising. "I hate you, bitch. But you're my drug.â And you, panting, with your legs still trembling, smiled at him with a cheeky air. âI know. And that's what fucks you.â
He kept you under him as if you were his all along, and maybe, in a way, you were. His hands clasped your hips with a force that left its mark, while his warm breath crashed against your neck. He was on top of you, hard, tense, ravenous. But he wasn't moving yet. Only the tip of him grazed the entrance to your pleasure, torturing you. "HoonieâŚ" you groaned, scratching his arms. "Not yet," he admonished you with a hoarse whisper, a threat stifled by desire. âYou really are the greatest asshole I've ever known, " he snorted, his lips swollen with desire and his heart pounding. "And you the most unbearable little bitch in the whole paddock," he retorted, the fierce smile opening between his teeth. âBut look how you shrink as soon as I touch you.â He bent down and brushed your lobe with his teeth. âWho would have said⌠the brilliant journalist, always with the answer ready⌠all wet for me.â âI'm just studying for an in-depth piece, " you muttered, your eyes ajar. "Behind the wheel: the ego of champions.â He laughed quietly, without humor. âYou're about to find out how long the ego is.â Then he rotated the pelvis, causing you to tremble under him. You clenched his biceps with force, teeth sunk into the lower lip. "Fuck me, Hoon. Move. Now.â His gaze became more gloomy, hungry. âYou're not the one giving orders, baby doll.â And with a sharp, deep blow, he pushed himself into you. A single, devastating lunge that made you scream. "Oh my God ⌠yes ⌠Hoonie, soâŚâ He paused for a moment, just to look at you as you trembled beneath him.

"Oh my God ⌠yes ⌠Hoonie, soâŚâ He paused for a moment, just to look at you as you trembled beneath him.
When you felt his body stretch over yours, his breath breaking into a low growl, you knew he was getting there. Her hands clasped your hips tightly, and with a deeper push, you felt full, warm, completely overwhelmed. "Oh f-HoonâŚ" you moaned, hands scratching his sweaty back. He did not stop, he pushed again, marking you, as his hot seed poured into you in waves, making you gasp for the fullness that made you tremble. "Good little dollâŚ" he muttered in a low, deep tone. âYou took it all, like a real girl of mine.â That phrase got under your skin more than his last push, the one in which he sank you again with a muffled groan as if he needed to brand you for real. When he came out, slowly, a warm trail dripped down your inner thigh. He looked at you with satisfaction, then bent down and kissed your forehead with a sweetness you did not expect. You sank your head against his rib cage, still shaken, still sweaty. You hugged him, tight, and for a moment it was all silence. Then your fingers began to play through her damp hair. He relaxed immediately under that touch. You knew him enough to know he was giving up. To you. âThat thing from before⌠" you muttered, your voice tumbled. âThat stuff that I'm your girlfriend⌠was it a stupid joke or are you serious, Hoonie?â He lifted his face, resting on your chest. His eyes looked for you, and when you fixed that wayward tuft on his forehead, he threw you one of those crooked, arrogant smirks that you knew all too well by now. âWhen I speak, I never do it in vain, little doll, " he said in a hoarse voice. âEven though I hated you, over time you got into me. In the head, in the skin. Every time I saw you walking around the paddock in those provocative clothes and that naughty mouth, I just wanted to take you away. And yes ⌠I like you. And yes ⌠you're my girlfriend.â You giggled a subtle, cheeky sound. âBut you didn't even ask me, champ. A little obvious, right?â He rolled his eyes, theatrical, then poked his face against your neck and whispered softly, his voice scratched with desire and tenderness. "You want to be my girlfriend, little dool?â You barely budged, with a defiant smirk. âDepend. Are you going to act like a model boyfriend or do you just want to fuck me until you take my breath away?â He laughed slowly, his chest vibrated against yours. âBoth, if you let me.â "All right," you whispered. âI want to be your girlfriend.â And you kissed him. Long. Deep. Slowly, as if it was the first time really. "Ok, but now shower," you muttered, brushing her sticky, hot skin. He sighed. âYou're right, but⌠I don't want to let you go.â You clasped to him once again, fingers tracing circles on his back. "Come on, champ. You won this race too. But it's my turn to drive now.â

Off to See the Wizard (2)
previous | next
tw: canon-typical violence
Your introduction didn't cause pandemonium, per se, but your effect on the rest of the team was immediate. Soap sat straight up, his eyes alight like a kid who'd been set loose in a toy store. Kyle's whole demeanor unwound, his smile softening, his eyes going glassy, as if all the tension holding him together was suddenly released. Simon tried to make himself smaller, take up less space, maybe disappear into the cushions of the couch he was on. It was clear they didn't know you were coming, and they seemed as excited - well, all but Simon, who seemed terrified - about it as you were.
Things settled down quickly after that as Price reminded everyone this arrangement was for the sake of their next mission. That took some joy out of the introduction, but the electric thrum of excitement was there. You were finally in the same place as your boys.
Your first full day is rather boring. You are only a little startled to hear voices in the hall at 4:30 but then realize the guys are simply getting ready for their morning training. You also slightly regret picking the room next to the bathroom, despite how helpful it will be when you need to shower while the others are around.
You spend your morning setting up your mobile command center with the tech you brought. You arrange the monitors to match your usual setup, pulling up the background files and current mission data across your screens. You send an encrypted message to Laswell updating her on your status. You know she wants someone she trusts here, and encrypting the email is probably overkill, but you didn't get to where you are by assuming anything about safety. You'd been a black-hat hacker before Laswell scooped you up, so you know it's possible.
When you left, she told you you'd have the same decision-making abilities in the field as she does. You've never had that much power, and you want to show Laswell her trust is justified, so your message is a concern about transports and what you'd like to do instead. You want to get her take on it before simply changing things. In your mind, roping her in on these kinds of decisions now means she'll be less likely to challenge any decisions you make when the boys are in the field.
The highlight of your first day is the knock that comes around 1:00, startling you a bit, just as you're realizing skipping breakfast after such an interrupted schedule the previous day was not a smart idea. The only person you know who knows you're here is John, so you quickly open your door, smile already in place. But you're pleasantly surprised to see Kyle instead.
"Hey doll, Cap said you should come eat." He leans against the doorframe, smiling gently at you. "Looks like you're all set."
"Got everything but the curtain," you reply cheekily.
He grins in response. "We may call ya' Oz, but you're so much better than the man behind the curtain."
You feel the blood rush to your cheeks and duck your head. You aren't behind a screen anymore; you're going to need to be more aware of your reactions to the boys if you don't want them reading you like an open book. "You said something about food," you murmur, shuffling paperwork around on your desk.
"Yea. The Captain was hopin' you'd join us," Kyle replies.
You glance up at him in the doorway. "Do I have a choice?" you ask cheekily. You need to eat, but you can't let them think you're so easily commanded. It sets a bad precedent and is at odds with what they know of you from previous missions.
Kyle's smile slides into a smirk. "He did say I might need to convince you."
You aren't sure what he might try to do to convince you, and your mind immediately jumps to some inappropriate fantasies. You're so flustered you quickly stammer, "No, you don't need to do that." You minimize your open programs, leaving a blank desktop, despite the fact you're the only person with access to this office. You turn to Kyle moments later. "I'm ready."
Kyle steps fully into the hallway, gesturing you to lead the way. You pull the door closed behind you, checking to make sure it locks. "You do remember I got the ten cent tour yesterday and don't really know where much of anything is, right?"
Kyle puts a gentle hand on your lower back, in the same way John did last night, unconsciously. He leads you through base, and you watch other groups of soldiers notice you for the first time. Some openly stare while others watch you on their perifery.
You're not sure what they think of you or if they even know who you are, but you don't like their prying eyes. Kyle doesn't seem to like it either, wrapping his arm more possessively around your waist as he guides you to the mess.
Walking through the door, it's easy to find the rest of the 141. For one thing, Simon is massive. Even seated he's nearly a head taller than most of the other people in the mess. For another, you know of their reputation, but the soldiers here have seen it first-hand and keep a wide berth in the mess. You don't know if the distance is out of fear or respect, but it means your boys have a table to themselves near the back of the room.
John and Simon are facing the door, eyes constantly scanning the room. You don't know if this is how they always are, or if they're looking for Kyle and you. You catch John's eye before turning to the food line, but Kyle steers you towards the others. As you approach, he calls out, "Look who I found? An' she's here without any coercion!" Simon looks at you and away again quickly, what is going on with him? Soap turns around, grin stretching across his face.
"Oz, mah girl, finally get ta see yer pretty face! Where've'ye been heedin'?" He pats the space next to him.
You slip onto the bench. "I've been in my office, Soap. Setting things up so I can support you while you're gone." He seems to deflate a little at the reminder that they'll be leaving soon, leaving you. You try not to read into it.
You turn and look at John, who's now across from you, and Kyle, who took the spot on your other side. You don't fail to notice that though your back is to the room, the two most imposing members of the 141 have their eyes on everything in the room, and you're flanked on either side by some of the youngest ever members of such an elite task force. Consciously or not, they've made sure you're well protected.
"So what do you recommend I get?" you ask, glancing around only to realize no one has anything to eat yet. "Wait, did you all eat already?"
John chuckles. "Nah, Oz. We were tryin-a be polite and wait for ya. 'Sides, Laswell said you'd likely skip meals, so I figured eatin' with ya would make sure yer fed." He stands, as does Kyle and Soap. "Now you sit tight with Ghost while we grab some scoff."
You watch as the others get up, leaving you with a Simon who looks anywhere but at you. You notice he has a plain black balaclava on, and he'd been wearing one yesterday too. You wonder if anyone on base knows what he looks like. You don't know what to say as you sit there in awkward silence. This is so different from your usual dynamic with Simon, it makes you uncomfortable.
Minutes tick slowly by, and you look over at John chatting with some other soldiers, Kyle and Soap with a few trays between them. Across from you, Ghost is still silent. And you finally snap.
"Simon?" You try to keep the hurt from your voice as he finally drags his eyes to yours. "Did I do something wrong or offend you somehow?"

I FINALLY bought a digital copy of Sinners and wanted to highlight a few other cinematography choices I really loved besides that tracking shot of Lisa Chow. The first is the camera language with which the White (and passing) characters are introduced and how it creates a unique sense of racial dread.
In her NYTimes article "The Condition of Black Life Is One of Mourning, poet Claudia Rankine pointedly describes the daily strain of anti-Black racism:
"Anti-black racism is in the culture. Itâs in our laws, in our advertisements, in our friendships, in our segregated cities, in our schools, in our Congress, in our scientific experiments, in our language, on the Internet, in our bodies no matter our race, in our communities and, perhaps most devastatingly, in our justice system. The unarmed, slain black bodies in public spaces turn grief into our everyday feeling that something is wrong everywhere and all the time, even if locally things appear normal."
This quiet but unrelenting feeling that something is wrong and could go wrong hovers over Sinners, the movie playing with our (visual) expectations of the many ways racist violence can suddenly strike at the whim of its White characters.
From the establishing shots of Sammie's sharecropper home to the plantation fields to the prison chain gang, we know that this a world where White characters can act without impunity. The violent legacy of slavery continues well beyond its official end, which we can see from the endless white rows of cotton in the foreground and background connecting each scene to the next, the overseers' silhouettes haunting the edge of the frame.
So when a White character physically enters a scene, we immediately feel dread, hyperaware that they could choose to be dangerous and mete out violence at any time just because they can. The introduction of Hogwood and Mary are good examples of this.
As Smoke and Stack wait for Hogwood to arrive to sell them his property, the camera stays trained on a narrow road that snakes behind the bend. There's low visibility because of the use of a wide shot and its duration is a beat too long. The Twins aren't sure how the interaction will go with this White man, and we the audience are forced to sit in that uncomfortable (but routine) tension with them.
And their wariness is justified because look at how Hogwood gets out of the car, his gun front and center. He's a threat on arrival and flaunts that power (e.g., that intentionally placed "boys").
Side Note: I might be stretching but that utility pole is almost cross-like, no? Possible reference to a KKK burning cross?
And despite Mary's deep connection to Stack and the rest of the Black community, she too chooses to be a danger and we can see this based on how she's visually introduced.
Her figure stands in the background, blurred because of the depth of field. There's something ghost-like about her appearance, which I'd interpret as symbolic of how as a White passing woman her past sexual relationship with Stack can still haunt him given the South's anti-miscegenation laws.
The tension of the scene ramps up as Mary approaches, the intimacy of the close-up shots anxiety-inducing. Although she is justified in how upset she is at him, this move is completely reckless given the optics. As @mosaic-briar observes in their analysis of Mary:
"White women have some of the most historically violent relationships to Black men that goes from before Emmitt Till to the data surrounding discipline in schools...Mary's incapability to recognize how much danger she was putting Stack in by yelling about their sex in the middle of the street telegraphed for us everything we'd need to know about how far she had processed her own identity."
This is a meeting between former lovers who care about one another but Mary's White femininity is still lethal even if she doesn't mean it to be. What a smart way to communicate the capricious but destructive power of Whiteness.

I have had a Thought about Caspian and Holstrom and the abuse they both faced and why they turned out the way they did
I was reading the story of an abuse survivor and she was talking about how her abusive father shaped her psyche and caused her to have an inner voice that would put her down all the time, even after years and years. And how healing for her was a process of fighting back against that inner voice and learning not to believe it.
Which gave me Thoughts about this duo and why they act so different in the end.
My theory: Holstrom's toxic inner voice is his father, of course. We learn about Mr. Holstrom through the snippets of those interviews and through Cary's acting. He was abusive, and specifically he was very belittling, always putting him down, attacking his intelligence and his accomplishments, making him feel like he'd never be good enough.
That abuse shaped Holstrom for the rest of his life, even if he claimed that he "never gave a damn about what anyone else said after [his father] left". His inner voice is still his father, telling him he's not good enough, not smart enough. That's why he veers so sharply into egotism and his whole god complex, because he's overcompensating with "I AM good enough, in fact I am the best at this and I know better than everyone else, and people should listen to me above all", because he didn't heal, he just slapped a bandaid over his issues and pretended he was fine.
But Caspian? Caspian doesn't hear Cary. Maybe he would've if his path hadn't diverged, but it did, hard. Cary did still psychologically scar him with his abuse, and you can see that shine through still, like early on in the data center in season 2 where he is acting like Holstrom. But never to the same degree as Holstrom himself, because all the stuff Caspian learned about Cary and who he was and why he did what he did really screwed up his ability to attribute his abuse as a kid and teen to Cary.
Instead, Caspian pretty quickly was handed a BIGGER, uglier, even more crushing abuse that reshaped his entire life and kinda blew everything else out of the water. Learning that he was Holstrom's clone, that his existence and his abuse was all to serve this guy, and THEN finding out that he was created to be discarded on top of that... Holstrom became the face of his lifetime of abuse and manipulation.
The internal voice that Caspian hears, the one he fights, isn't his father, but Holstrom: the voice telling him that "regret is a waste of time", that he only needs himself and his own intelligence, telling him to succeed at any cost to others, to be ruthless and objective and apathetic. That's what he's fighting, and that's why he becomes so kind and so selfless, even to the cost of his own life. Because that's the opposite of what Holstrom was and wanted.
"I live my life trying to resist every gut instinct I have, because I'm not sure if they're mine or Holstrom's!"
