Chapter Four

I drove to the edge of our city, the only one on Mars. It was like being in the middle of New York’s suburbs and then suddenly nothing but red dirt and rock. I came to the end of the road. Literally. From here on, the road became dry, dusty land with heavy equipment and further off was a preserve of trees like an oasis in an earth desert. I stayed here for a while. Just sitting on my bike and staring out. Mar’s axis tilt was so similar to Earth that we had nearly all the same seasons and daylight time. It was fading now, sending shadows across the red dirt. It was spring, but the temperature was cool enough for me to wear just my cut that showed I was part of the Outlaw MC. There was a patch on front that read President. I was fighting the government, breaking laws every day and one man had me too hard up to think. Maybe we should fuck. Maybe getting this out of my system, whatever’s between us, would help. Or it could lead to deeper feelings and even more complications. Damn it, I’d known Lover since we were kids. I doubt one night of hot, passionate, sweaty sex would make me throw him to the side. And that kiss had nearly knocked me on my fucking ass. Again. I took a few deep breaths but kicking chairs sure as hell made me feel better.

Earth was just another bright star somewhere in the sky. It’s a little more round because it’s a planet, but it’s not like we could see the blue oceans here like you can from the moon. However, thanks to our orbit, once every twenty-six months, we come so close to alignment with Earth I could make out its bright glow. I could see those white clouds, the browns, and the blues. That day you would always find me outside staring up, thinking about the past. Days of old. Earth before we destroyed her. I’ve seen the pictures. Her beauty had been unmatched, magnificent, and pure. Of course, now it was a prison colony.

The first time I went to Earth it had been with Liam. We were both caught with two slaves, trying to get them out of the city. We managed to save them, but they caught us. There were only two witnesses, but no fatal proof, so we got sentenced to a year in prison for attempting to break a cardinal rule. That had been the first time either of us did hard time. We stuck together and had our asses beat on more than one occasion. We made some new friends after a while and spread the word about the Outlaws. It was actually a good experience. Liam and me, back to back, facing horny men looking for some free ass. That was nearly fifteen years ago. I suddenly felt fucking old, much more than forty.

I stayed out there for a few hours then I returned home to my club, my family.
