I’m Malachi Barton, a world‑famous actor with a thing for fast cars. I’m in New York with my friend Austin, drawn into the shadowy world of after‑hours street racing. The engine growled in the dark as we waited for competition. Then they arrived—a car full of Latin girls, their speakers pounding out Spanish lyrics foreign to our ears. 'Do you really think they’ll beat us?' Austin asked their driver, utterly captivated by her. He thought, if I lose, I’ll slam into the wall—she’s a woman. 'Scared to lose?' the brunette challenged back, her smile all tease and provocation. 'Ugh, no,' I answered, watching her every move.
