Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Worry
BenjiThe conversation was still loud in my memory to this day. I’d never heard her sound so scared and after that night I never let her stay late again on her own. There were repercussions for starting a shelter like the one I had in a not so glamorous part of the city. The kids I watched over tended to have unsavory friends, and those friends weren’t the sort to come to a place like my shelter for help. They would rather take what they wanted and damn the consequences and the people they hurt in the process.I showed up at the shelter after the cops. Heather was standing out in the yard with a blanket over her shoulders giving her statement when I parked and got out of my truck. I ran to her but was blocked by two officers. After telling them who I was and being waved over by the cop talking to Heather, I rushed to her side and found myself being nearly squeezed to death in her arms. She had a tighter grip than I would have expected.I still felt guilty even now over how scared she
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Rainy Day Winnings
CharlieThe rain bouncing off the windows off my top floor apartment had been a soothing sound to wake up to that Wednesday morning, but by the time noon rolled around I was over it and wishing for a break in the clouds and the gloom.At least it wasn’t cold out. Just wet. Very wet.I called Harley in the afternoon hoping for some company before I had to head the club later tonight for my eight o’clock opening shift. She didn’t answer her phone when I tried her just after noon, and it went to voicemail on my second attempt half an hour later.Feeling trapped and bored in my home I donned my raincoat and boots and struck out looking for companionship from someone else—one Benjamin Harris.I’d been unable to think of anything but him for the last few days. Well, since our night together after the fundraiser on Friday. I’d wished all weekend and for the past two days that I had an excuse to call him up and talk to him. Why I didn’t have the nerve to just call him anyway I had no idea.I
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Sore Loser
CharlieThe first open archway off the hall opened up into what looked like a library of mismatching bookshelves holding paperbacks in varying stages of disrepair. Some were missing covers and others were torn or stained or both. Area rugs of all different materials and color were scattered across the floor, as were a variety of bean bags. There were four kids reading and none of them looked up at me when I poked my head in.I kept walking.The second room I came to was more of a living space- like a TV room. There were several sofas, all packed full of teenagers. On the one wall was a massive fireplace that was presently turned off. Above it hung a massive flat screen TV playing a movie of some sort that looked vaguely familiar.On the floor in the middle of the room was Benji.He was sitting cross legged. Across from him were a couple boys, probably around fourteen or so, and the three of them were playing cards while the other kids half watched the movie and half watched the game.
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) A Real Date
BenjiThe rain stopped by Thursday afternoon and the whole city seemed grateful for it. Everyone was out and about later that night when I left my place to go pick up Charlie from her apartment.She was waiting for me outside at the curb.The girl had no idea how absolutely stunning she was. She was immune to the looks that men passing by on the sidewalk gave her. Hell, women checked her out, too. Some of those looks were envious of course, but some were appreciative, and I couldn’t blame them for looking.And I was the lucky bastard who got to take her out tonight.After parking the truck, I got out and walked around to greet her on the sidewalk. She had on a tight black dress that went down to the middle of her thighs. Beneath the dress were sheer black nylons that disappeared in the black sky-high ankle boots she had on. Her calves, sheer muscle, stood out and dared a man to keep his eyes and his hands to himself. Charlie was a strong woman. I’d seen and felt first hand just how st
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) On Her Own
BenjiI snorted. “They won’t spit in our food. You didn’t offend him. He probably just has no sense of humor. Or all his years working with the public has turned him into an unfeeling machine.”“The latter is more likely I suppose,” Charlie muttered.Charlie might have been right. Louis was not the most attentive waiter after our wine order, which was bizarre to me because Charlie hadn’t been rude at all. He took our food orders with an expression and tone of disinterest, never asking if we wanted an appetizer or listing the current specials, then sighed dramatically before walking away from our table.“I think you’re right,” Charlie said after he left. “I think he’s just jaded and hates the public.”“But we’re so charming.”She giggled. God. It got better every damn time. She was already half a glass of wine in and her cheeks were turning pink. So was her nose. “We’re the most charming people he’s ever met, he just doesn’t know it.”“Cheers to that,” I said.We tapped our wine glasse
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Taking Her Home
CharlieBenji’s house wasn’t really what I expected. Although I didn’t really know what to expect. He had an unreadable air about him when it came to trying to figure out the more personal details about his life. He didn’t behave like a street racer or conform to what my idea was of a man who spent his time participating in an illegal underground racing ring in New York City. He ran a shelter for troubled youths for crying out loud.His house was quaint and simple but inviting. It was one level with a black roof and white siding that looked pretty fresh. His front yard was tiny but not the smallest I’d seen in New York City; I could probably lie down on the patch of grass and have it end at the top of my head and bottom of my feet.He had no garage, but rather a carport. Around the side of the carport was a chain link gate which opened up into the backyard where I could see a detached shop around back, probably used for fixing up cars back in his racing days. On the other side of the
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Soaked
CharlieI let out a soft moan as Benji turned fully to me and pushed me down onto my back. He planted one knee beside my hip and let the other leg lay straight between my legs. As we kissed one of his hand ran up my thigh and then up the inside of my dress, which he inched up slowly until he reached the top of my nylons.Our kiss stopped as he started pulling them down. He watched me with a wicked grin. “I won’t tear apart any more of your undergarments.”I wanted to tell him I didn’t give a damn. He could tear any item of clothing he wanted off of me. But words were still out of my reach so I simply stared up at him with my lips parted as I sucked in ragged breath after ragged breath while he pulled my nylons down around my knees.Then he pushed my panties to the side, lifted his hand up to his mouth, and licked his fingers.I bit my bottom lip hard. He held my gaze when he first touched me. I flinched and then giggled at my own sensitivity. He let out a soft primal sound from somewh
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Tell Her I Said Hello
BenjiSaturday rolled around quickly. After my night with Charlie on Thursday all I wanted to do was spend more time with her, but I had to spend the day at the shelter on Friday and she had to work the night shift at Ascension. Our schedules were polar opposites, which seemed like a cruel and specific form of punishment, and when Rick and I pulled into the parking lot where the race was to start on Saturday the first thing I did after getting out of the Jeep was look around for her.For my girl.Rick rolled his eyes at me. “Jesus, you’re like a toddler looking for his mother.”There wasn’t a thing he could say that would dampen my spirits. I was more looking forward to seeing Charlie than I was to the race itself. And that said a lot.“Don’t be so bitter, Rick. It’s not a good look for you.”He snorted and shook his head at me.Mason and Laina pulled up and parked behind us. My sister hopped out of the passenger side of the car and hurried around the hood to greet me with a hug. “Hey
