Chapter Seven

“Is it alive?” Johnny asked as he stared at the funny-looking burger on the counter. He had never seen anything like it before.

“It’s a vegetarian burger,” Spencer answered. “How can it be alive?”

Johnny scratched at his head as he walked around the counter, his eyes glued to the thing sitting on parchment paper. “How can it be a burger if there is no meat in it?”

The smell of the grill wafted into the kitchen, making Johnny very hungry. Bear had invited him and Hawk over for a cookout. Johnny was salivating at the smell of steaks and hot dogs cooking. He just wasn’t sure what this thing was that Spencer planned on eating.

He had an urge to poke the patty with a stick.

“It’s made of soy.” Spencer grabbed a paper plate and set the funny-looking burger on it.

“Oh, the stuff you put on Chinese food?”

“No,” Spencer answered as he shook his head. “That’s soy sauce.”

Johnny was so confused. Wasn’t that the same thing? He pushed the funny burger from his mind as he turned toward Spencer. “Did you get into trouble with Bear?” he asked as he grabbed a chip from the open bag on the counter. Bear and Hawk were on the back porch, talking man stuff. Things like race cars and what Bear did for a living.

Boring.

“No. Bear just made me promise not to lie to him again.”

Johnny giggled as he glanced out of the window over the sink, making sure Hawk wasn’t listening. “I got spanked.”

“Hawk punished you?” Spencer asked incredulously.

“It was my idea,” Johnny bragged. “I kept telling him that I wasn’t going to be chained down to his rules, so my mate kept slapping my ass. Of course, he did other things as well that made my toes curl.” He winked at Spencer, slapping his chest with pride. “He thinks he is punishing me, but he has no idea that I’m enjoying every second of it.”

“You are truly twisted, my man.” Spencer grabbed the plate and headed for the door. Johnny grabbed his friend’s arm and pulled him back. “Did you hear about Harley?”

Hawk said that Johnny gossiped too much. That wasn’t true. Johnny just heard things and passed on the information. If things were done out in public, then he wasn’t the only one who knew—and probably wasn’t the only one to wag his tongue about it either.

“No.” Spencer set his plate down. “What happened?”

He thought about teasing his friend, but this was just too juicy to keep to himself. “Bailey and Damon got into a fistfight down at the movie theater. Damon said he didn’t care about what Harley was doing, but apparently Bailey had spotted them smooching in front of the movie theater. It took two units of cops to break them apart.”

“Pretty baby!”

Drat.

Hawk had heard him. Dang the man and his superior hearing. Johnny quickly leaned forward, cupping his hand at Spencer’s ear. “They are both sitting in jail.” He turned toward the screen door. “Coming, Hawk!”

Maybe he would get another spanking.
