Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Knockin' Boots
MasonWhen I got up on Tuesday morning, it was to the sound of dishes clattering in the kitchen. I threw my blankets off, pulled on a pair of loose sweats, and padded downstairs to the living room. Rick had crashed on my couch the last couple of nights since getting out of the hospital, so it was covered in blankets and several pillows. The bed in my guest room wasn’t comfortable for him because the mattress was too soft, and with his aching back and kinked neck, he favored the couch. I found him in the kitchen putting two pieces of bread in the toaster. He glanced up when I opened the fridge and helped myself to a glass of orange juice. “Morning,” he said. His voice was more nasally than usual due to the broken nose. “Morning. How are you feeling this morning?” He shrugged one shoulder and peered down into the toaster. He’d always been impatient when it came to his food in the morning. As young kids, we would fight to get to the toaster
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) All For Nothing
Mason I scratched my chin. Rick came in from the bathroom after his shower. He had his towel wrapped around his waist, and he looked over at me, curious about the call. I sighed. “Yeah. I’m in.” “Fuck yeah. I’ll tell him. I’m going to keep the car at my place, and I’ll bring it for you on Saturday. I think it would be smart to keep this low-key. Sid and Mark think you don’t have a car—at least, I’m assuming they think that because let’s be real, they’re most likely the ones who jumped your brother.” I glanced up at Rick. At his bruised jaw, black eyes, busted nose, split lip, and bruised ribs. “Yeah. Most likely.” “Let’s let them keep thinking you’re out of the race until the last minute. Then maybe we can avoid whatever crazy shit they might try to throw at you if they think you’re driving on Saturday.” “Good plan, Benji. Thanks for getting on this.” “No problem, man.” I considered asking him about La
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Therapeutic
LainaI smiled as Rick’s breathing deepened, and he began snoring. After gorging himself on the Thai food I’d brought over, he’d slid sideways on the sofa, becoming more and more horizontal with every passing minute until he was lying on his back. We’d talked about the bar and how much fun it had been and the upcoming race on Saturday until Rick went quiet and dozed off. “He sleeps like a log lately,” Mason muttered as he shook his head at his brother. “I imagine he would. He’s still recovering. And he had a concussion so getting a lot of sleep is important.” Mason nodded as he started putting all the lids back on the containers and packing up the Thai food. I helped him and stacked everything up before tucking it back in the bag I’d brought it over in. We took everything into the kitchen. The leftovers were put in the fridge, and the dishes were placed in the sink. I started running the hot water and filled the right side with soapy wat
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Face Off
LainaI got to work at the restaurant twenty-five minutes early for my shift. It gave me time to change into my uniform, black jeans, a black short-sleeved button-up, and black heels, and also put on some lipstick. Tips were tips, and having a pop of color seemed to earn me a couple extra bucks by the end of the night. A couple of other waitresses who were also waiting for the shift change started trickling in as I sat in the break room thinking about that kiss in Mason’s kitchen. If I thought on it hard enough, I could still feel the warmth of his hands in my back pockets. It was pleasant. I wanted to be back there, trapped between his arms, being kissed. He made me feel more alive than I had in ages. The way he held and touched me and teased me lit little fires in my veins. They were still burning now. By the time my shift started, I was doing everything in my power to stop thinking about Mason. He was a huge distraction. I tied my apron around my
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Bro Code
MasonBenji glanced over at me when we stopped at a red light. “So you’re sure you’re okay with fifteen grand?” “Once I see the car, I’ll know for sure.” Benji nodded. The light turned green, and he pulled away from the line, and then took the first right-hand turn, which brought us down a residential street. We drove a few blocks down where the houses got nicer and nicer until we arrived outside an old white and black colonial-style house. Benji pulled up to the curb and put his car in park. “This is the one.” I whistled. “Nice place.” “Right?” We both got out of the car and walked up the long driveway to the door on the side of the garage. The guy Benji had been in contact with, Tobias, had told us to come in through the garage. His kids were home and having a birthday party, and he didn’t want strangers showing up. So we knocked once, and then Benji opened the door. I followed him inside. The guy ha
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Long Time Coming
Mason Benji took a left turn. “Sometimes. Sometimes, I think it’s good for both of you. I know how things have been for you for the last six months. And I’ve met the other guys Laina has dated in the past. I keep trying to tell myself you might be good for each other. But don’t get me wrong, it’s still fucking weird.” I laughed. This was more than a little uncomfortable. “If you don’t want me to—” Benji shook his head. “No. It’s not my place to tell either of you what to do. Just… don’t fuck her over, okay? She’s a good girl with a heart of gold, and I can’t stand by and let her get hurt. And I don’t want to have to step in. You get what I’m saying?” I nodded. “Yeah. I get it.” In other words, he was saying he’d be forced to do something about it if I hurt his sister. We talked about anything but Laina for the rest of the drive back to my place. The race, the new car, how much I wished I had my Fastback, Mark Denning, Sid, an
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) The Plan
LainaThe RS Mason was going to drive tonight was a hollowed-out shell. I supposed it made sense. The lighter the car, the faster it would be, but it sure as hell was far from comfortable. The seat was firm and creaked beneath me every time I moved. The roll cage was low, so I had to sit with my head tipped slightly to my left. By the time we arrived at the location for the first race in The Streets, I had a kink in my neck. Benji parked the car with those that were not racing. We both got out, and I peered around, looking over the heads of the others in the crowds to try to spot Mason. “He won’t be here until right before the race starts,” Benji said as we made our way over to the registration area. I nodded. It made sense. Mason was committed to not letting on that he was racing tonight. He was going to come right before the race, and he was bringing Benji’s car so he could race as well. I was a bundle of nerves. I was incr
Outracing Demons (The Streets Series) Confrontation
Laina I looked at my feet and nudged some loose pebbles across the asphalt. “Thank you.” “Don’t mention it,” Benji said. “Seriously. I don’t want to know the shit the two of you are up to.” I grimaced. “I wouldn’t talk about any of that with you.” “Good.” “Good,” I agreed. We fell quiet for a while. I sidled up beside him and leaned against the side of the car. “Are you nervous for the race?” He shrugged. “Nervous? No. Excited? A little bit. It’s sort of lost its appeal since the assholes took this place over. It used to be about who the better driver was. And putting it all out on the road. There was respect. And trust. Nobody was in it to hurt someone else. But now? I don’t know. It’s different.” I nodded. “You’re talking about Sid and Mark.” “Yeah.” I wrapped my arms around myself to ward off the chill of the night. That was the only problem with being the flag gi
