Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Next Race
HarleyThe line of racers waiting to register had to be fifty feet long, and it wrapped between a bunch of parked vehicles on the race grounds. I sat at the registration table at the front of the herd with Charlie, who had offered to help me today.The qualifying race was always the busiest of them all. Drivers came from all over the city, and more showed up from surrounding suburbs. Some even made their way over from neighboring states to try to get a slot in The Streets.This year was no different.Charlie sifted through the papers in front of us to find the name of the young man standing in front of her. He waited patiently and looked around with wide eyes.“Is this your first time?” Charlie asked without looking up at him.I watched out of the corner of my eye as I waved the next driver to step up.The young man in front of Charlie couldn’t have been older than twenty-one. He wrung his hands together and nodded. “Yes, ma’am. First time. I didn’t expect there to be so many people.”
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Probed
HarleyEvery thought I had gave me anxiety, and I was more and more aware of the fact with every passing day that I had never felt this way about a man before. I had never cared about any of those questions, and I never desired the answers I wanted now.“So?” Charlie asked, leaning forward and giving me a coy little smile.“So…” I trailed off.Her smile stretched. “It was that good, huh?”“What are you talking about?”“Why are you suddenly so secretive?” she asked. “You and I both know this is all you’ve been thinking about for the last nine months. Hell, Laina knows too. It’s all we’ve talked about. Now that it’s finally happening, you clam up on me? That’s not fair, Harley.”I licked my lips. She was right, of course. I owed her the truth. She and Laina had both been there for me through the most difficult times since Rick left. “I’m sorry. You’re right.”She shimmied closer to me, the legs of her chair grating against the gravel underfoot. “Your place or his?”I shrugged. “Mine.”“
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Not A Secret
RickThe qualifying race was being held in an old industrial park just outside of Jackson Heights. It took me close to forty-five minutes to get there, and I arrived just before eleven-thirty at night. When I pulled up in my Jeep and parked, it was clear to me that the race had ended. A lot of people had already cleared out, and those who had stayed back to linger and socialize were packing up their cars now.A few people waved to me as I walked by and made my way to the registration booth. The sign had been taken down, but I could see Harley and her red hair from a mile away. She and Charlie were bent over the table collecting all the paperwork. My boots scuffed the gravel, and I slid my hands in my pocket and cleared my throat.“Ladies.”Charlie and Harley both turned around. Harley gave me a big smile, and Charlie watched her watch me.So, Charlie knew about Tuesday night then.Harley gave me a one-armed hug and then seemed to remember where she was. She let her arm fall from my wa
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Caught Off Guard
RickWe drove for another fifteen minutes or so before pulling into the parking lot of a fast food burger joint. The parking lot was empty except for a few cars that belonged to the staff and the one man inside the restaurant sipping a coffee and reading a book. We cruised through the drive thru, and I ordered our meals. Then I pulled into a parking space that faced the road, and we took off our seatbelts.Harley opened the bag and started handing me my items, as well as a straw for my drink and a handful of napkins. Then she flattened the bag into a placemat and put it over my console to use as a little makeshift table. She squirted some ketchup on the corner, dipped a piping-hot onion ring into it, and took a massive bite.She fanned her mouth as she chewed.“Careful,” I said, wincing on her behalf. I held out her drink to her.She snatched it out of my hands and drank greedily. “Places like this never have hot food. It’s almost unheard of. What’s the deal?”“The stars are aligned,
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Jumped
HarleyRick was on the ground and out of my range of vision within a matter of seconds. One minute, his lips were pressed to mine, and my knees were aching, and my stomach was swirling with butterflies. Then his door was being torn open, and he was being dragged out of the Jeep.It took about fifteen seconds for me to process what was happening.Three men stood at three points around the vehicle, dressed from head to toe in all black clothes. One had Rick down on the ground by his door, the other was standing in front of the hood, and the third was hanging around by the back tire of the driver’s side.None of them seemed too concerned about me. In their eyes, I was just some girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.Dumb bastards.“Rick!” I yelled again as I spun around and scrambled to get out of the car.I heard him grunt in pain.“Oh, hell no,” I growled as rage bubbled up inside me.As soon as I had my passenger door open, the guy at the hood of the Jeep set his sights on
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) The Aftermath
RickI tried not to grimace when Harley drove over the dip in the curb and into my driveway. She parked the Jeep and looked over at me as she took her seatbelt off. “Home sweet home.”I nodded, took off my seatbelt, and opened my door. I slid out of the Jeep and closed the door behind me. Harley hurried around the hood and came to see if I needed help.“I’m all right,” I told heShe didn’t look like she believed me. She pursed her lips in a fine line and looked me up and down. “I think you’re full of shit.”I laughed and immediately stopped when it hurt my ribs. “Yeah. Maybe.”Harley marched up my driveway to my front door, which she opened with a twist of her wrist. She held it for me to half-stumble through. I tried to walk straight, but the pain in my side kept me hunched over while she closed and locked the door behind us.She let out a sigh and walked around me as I made my way down the hall toward the living room. “Do you have a first-aid kit or something?”“Yeah, under the bath
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Reckless
RickHarley looked down, and her hair fell in front of her face.I propped myself up, ignoring the tight burn in my side, and tucked her hair behind her ear. Her blue eyes swept up to meet mine. “You were reckless tonight.”She shrugged. “I’m not one of those girls who will let you handle things on your own, Rick. You know that about me.”“I know, but now that we’ve—I don’t know. Now that things have changed, I don’t like it. I don’t want you to get hurt.”“You don’t have to like it, but it isn’t going to change. Fuck those guys. They deserved what they got.”“Maybe, but—”Harley put a finger over my mouth. “No. No but. I’m telling you how it is, Rick Thomas. And you’d better get used to it.”I arched an eyebrow.“Too much?” she asked, a hesitant grimace on her face.I chuckled and shook my head. “No. You could never be too much. Truth be told, I don’t think I’ve ever been as attracted to you as I am right now.”“Keep it in your pants, buddy.”“I don’t want to.”She threw her head bac
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Take Me
HarleyNobody had ever looked at me the way Rick was looking at me right now.His gaze was hot, dark, and deep, but there was a soft fondness to the way his eyes rolled over me, starting at my eyes and working their way across my cheeks, over my nose, and to my lips, where they lingered for some time. I was more than a little aware of how sharp my breathing had become.Somehow, he made me burn with need without even touching me, with just a look.His eyes left my lips and made their way down my neck and over my chest. I lifted my arms over my head when he reached out to take off my top. It fell to the floor between our feet, and he raked his eyes over my breasts, which were pushed up to my chin in a ruby-red push-up bra. He cupped them in his strong hands and massaged them, pushing my senses into overdrive.He smelled like blood, pine, and sandalwood. His knuckles were bruised but not split, and I held him to me when he bowed his head to trace his lips across my cleavage. I needed him
