CHAPTER EIGHT

“I really need to get you to LA,” Christian told Rod as they sat at an outside table. “You’ll have a blast. One night in West Hollywood and you’ll fall in love.”

“He’ll get you into trouble,” Landon countered.

“That’s not a bad thing.” At least, not in Christian’s mind. He really liked everyone here. It had been a couple hours since they’d arrived. He wasn’t sure he’d ever laughed so hard in his life. Bryce and Rod’s back and forth was hilarious. They always seemed to be trying to one-up each other. Apparently they met when Nick and Bryce went shopping for sex toys at an adult store he worked at. Christian was shocked to discover that being with each other, was Nick and Bryce’s first time with another man. He could only imagine how that trip to the romantic gift store had gone.

Rod now had his own place called Rods-N-Ends.

There was a lot of motorcycle talk. Bryce and Landon were in love with being on two wheels the same way Beck was. They both mostly rode street bikes but enjoyed motocross too, which meant Beck was in heaven. Drew owned a gym, Justin was going back to school, and Nick obviously loved food and feeding people who were important to him. They were a mishmash group of people, but you could tell they all loved each other. They were a close group of friends.

Christian couldn’t help but direct his eyes toward Beck. Did he have that? People he knew he could be himself with? People who would stand by his side, no matter what? Christian hoped he had that within the motocross community but the truth was, he just didn’t know. He knew Beck’s past. He even knew who Beck was. Ten years apart hadn’t changed that but he didn’t know Beck’s day-to-day life.

The thought made him frown, put an ache in his chest. And when Beckett looked his way, he could see the questions there, in his dark, soulful eyes. Saw that Beck realized Christian was wrestling with something…and he was. Because he realized now that he couldn’t lose Beckett Monroe again. He’d be the friend who Beck always had in his corner.

Christian reached out, and squeezed Beckett’s thigh, and then he didn’t pull his hand back. Beckett gave him what was almost a shy grin, then set his hand on Christian’s before joining the conversation with his friends again.

“The first race of the upcoming outdoor season is in Texas, right?” Bryce asked as they ate. They’d gone swimming for a little while, and then gotten out to finish cooking. Nick had taken care of a few things inside while Drew had the grill going for the ribs. They said Nick had marinated them in a homemade sauce. They nearly fell off the bone and had a sweet, tangy taste that Beck couldn’t get enough of.

“Yeah. No rest for the wicked. We ended up with two weeks between Supercross and outdoors this year. I should be training right now but they gave me a few days considering everything that’s going on.
