Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Damaged Goods
Laina A lot could happen out on the streets. My throat tightened as I thought about the crash last weekend. The squeal of tires. The smashing and grinding of metal as the car hit the barrier. All the blood. Mason, passed out and slumped sideways in the driver’s seat. I shook my head. Now was not the time to think of such things. I was only making it harder on myself. This was Mason’s decision. I respected that, and I respected what he was fighting for. He needed to reclaim his title and push out the men who had turned this sport into a seedy, dangerous, underground game. Sure, street racing had always been illegal, but it hadn’t been as risky as it was with Sid and Mark. They took their business off the streets. They’d come to find you in your home and fuck you up if they thought you were a threat. All to win a stupid race. I sighed and tucked a corner of the flag in the back pocket of my jeans before
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) The Smell of Victory
MasonThe Boxster was a speed demon. It ate pavement and cornered like a beast, which meant one thing. I was able to take risks. The roads weren’t as slick as I’d been anticipating. I was lucky that the rain had cleared up well before the race started. My tires had excellent traction, and I took corners tight—tighter than any of the other cars I watched in my mirrors. Those saved fractions of a second kept inching me farther and farther ahead of the group. And farther ahead of Mark and Sid. Their cars were at the front of the pack but were driving a good three or so car lengths behind me. And I was still losing them. I owed Kline big time for this car. The race Harley had planned led onto busier streets, as they all did, and when I hit one of the main roads, I opened up on the throttle, racing toward a red light I knew would turn green as my tires crossed the sidewalk. It did. I blew through the intersection. Peop
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Whatever You Want
Mason The crowd was moving like a wave, jumping in place as my car hurtled toward them. I indulged in one last look in the mirror. Sid and Paul were still trailing behind. They’d caught up but not by much. I still had at least a car length on both of them, and that was more than enough to guarantee me first place. My cheeks stretched in a grin that I was incapable of concealing. The screams of the crowd reached my ears. Harley was there, standing near the front, waving Laina’s red flag as I closed in. The spray-painted red line passed beneath my tires. I took my speed off as Sid and Mark crossed behind me. I came to a slow stop at the end of the road and waited for the rest of the cars to finish the race before I circled back, driving at a snail’s pace, and kept my eyes peeled for my people. I spotted Laina first. She exploded out of the crowd, her face alight with joy, and leaped over the barrier to r
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Not Your Fault
LainaI gripped the edges of my seat, and the leather creaked beneath my fingers. Sid Paul looked like a rabid dog at the end of the Porsche’s hood. He had both hands planted firmly on the glossy black paint, and he was looking at Mason with a crooked sneer. Blood ran from his nose over his upper lip and into his mouth. My stomach rolled. I just wanted to get the hell out of here. “Mason,” I said nervously. He was half out of the car. One foot was still flat on the floor, and the other was on the gravel outside. He had his right arm resting on the hood of the Boxster and his left draped over the door. From where I was sitting, Mason didn’t look concerned at all. But I was concerned. I was very concerned. Sid slammed his hands down on the hood again, broadcasting his crazy to the stragglers who had lingered after the race ended. “Keep your hands off the car,” Mason said. His voice was much calmer than I expected it
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Something Strange
Laina We stopped for booze at a store down the street from Mason’s house. While we were there, I picked up Tylenol in case Mason ran out soon along with some bandages. I’d noticed Mason’s split knuckles in the car and wanted to wrap them for him. I was sure Benji and Rick would have the same problem—among others. Benji most of all. Afterward, we got back into the car and finished the drive home. The lights were on, and the Jeep was in the driveway when we got back to Mason’s. We went inside and found the others in the living room. Benji was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. He had an ice pack over his swollen eye but cracked open his good one when he heard us come in. “What took you two so long?” he asked sharply. Rick stood up from his place on the opposite sofa beside Ginny and took one of the bags from Mason’s hand. He peered into it and pulled out a bottle of tequila while saying, “I bet they were, you know, celebrating.”
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Lucrative
MasonMy hangover wasn’t as bad as I’d been expecting when I woke up on Sunday morning. Laina was asleep beside me, curled up on her side facing the window. She had the blankets all wrapped up around her legs to such an extent that I had no idea where she ended and the blankets began. Getting out of bed would be difficult for her. I didn’t want to wake her. She’d had a long night, having had to deal with Sid, watch her brother get his ass kicked, and handle the adrenaline rush of waiting for me to cross the finish line. It was a lot of stress for a person to bear, and she never showed a single crack in her foundation. Well. Maybe a little. But I couldn’t blame her for that. We’d all cut loose after really getting into the tequila last night. Before I knew it, the stereo was cranked and both Laina and Ginny were dancing in my living room while the three of us boys drank and talked about cars. Of course, I was only indulging Benji in the c
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Thaw My Heart
Mason “Sorry?” she asked. Ginny was smiling beside her, already catching on to what I was doing. “Go put it on. I’d like to take you out for dinner.” Benji groaned from where he was draped over the sofa. “The hits just keep coming.” Rick laughed at Laina’s brother’s expense and told him to shut up. “You’re ruining the moment.” “So what do you say?” I asked Laina, who had turned the brightest shade of pink I had ever seen on a woman before. It was adorable. She nodded. “I would love that. Just give me some time to get ready, okay? Gin, you want to get ready with me?” “Of course I do,” Ginny gushed. Both women hurried up the stairs to my bedroom, where we could hear their giggling for the next half hour as Laina got ready. Benji never said anything besides his one comment about me asking his sister out formally, and I knew he would get past it. He had to because I wasn’t going to
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Drive Faster
LainaMason was watching me as I put the seat belt on and gripped the steering wheel. I stretched out my left foot to find the clutch, which I couldn’t push down all the way due to my and Mason’s height difference. “I don’t mind if you adjust the seat,” he said. “Good,” I said loftily, reaching down under the seat to pull the lever and drag the seat forward. I tested the clutch again and nodded with approval. Then I went about the tedious process of adjusting all of his mirrors. When I was done, I shot him a sideways glance. “You’re not going to tell me how to drive a stick?” Mason chuckled as I turned the ignition. He rolled his window down and hung one arm over the ledge, letting his wrist dangle in the cool night air. “I assume you know how to drive a manual.” “Why?” He shrugged. “You’ve grown up with Benji. I can’t picture a universe where he’d be okay with his little sister not knowing how to drive a stick.”
