Chapter forty-seven
Last Day of the Break
Davey watched as people splashed in the pool and ate from the buffet they'd set up.
Stewart grilled steaks, burgers, chicken and veggies on a skewer.
Alcohol flowed. His dad had thrown parties here in the past and Davey couldn't help wish the man was there with them.
He would have loved Tyler's friends. Janie's boyfriend had her on his shoulders, playing chicken against Angel who sat on Jessie's shoulders.
Dillon and Tim sat at the table talking about bikes.
Davey knew that would be good for his cousin.
Tate paced along the far side of the pool on the phone.
He missed his boyfriend. Davey's man splashed Janie and Angel, cheering them on while Davey sat on the edge of the pool with his feet in the water, enjoying the chaos.
A buzzing from the table got Davey's attention. "Hey, Angel that's yours!" he called to her.
Jessie dumped her into water. She came up splashing everyone and flinging her long black hair around like a dog and laughing. Tyler dunked her again and swam away fast. Janie launched herself off her boyfriend's shoulders to grab Tyler and dunk him. Davey laughed at his friends playing around.
The front door rang and Tyler yelled out, "Jessie, why don't you wrap up in a towel and go answer that." Davey laughed, remembering how they'd almost broke up over that exact thing, and happy both guys could joke about it now.
"Fuck you Ty!" Jessie called back, but he did exactly what Tyler had asked. He wrapped a towel around his waist and headed inside. In a minute, Tony and Luke followed him back to the pool area.
Tony had a petite girl on his arm. She had long brown hair and elfish features, pointed little nose, narrow eyes, and thin lips.
Davey thought she was attractive enough, but then she smiled and it lit up her whole face, making her supermodel stunning.
Well, if she'd been taller. "This is Marie," Tony introduced her around.
"Join the party. Food, drinks, pool," Davey pointed to each thing as he said it.
"Thanks. Good to meet you." Her voice rang out sharp and lyrical like a bell. Davey could see what Tony liked about her. He'd probably like her too, if he wasn't in love with Tyler, who to him was the ultimate blond bombshell. No other could compete. He looked around for his fiancé.
Tyler splashed around with Janie in the pool.
He had missed his friend and Davey was happy that she could come and visit.
They had been best friends since childhood and they'd been roommates when they'd moved away from home.
It had to be hard for Tyler to be so far away from her all the time.
She was like his bratty sister and Davey was beginning to love her like that too.
How could he not? Besides loving her because Tyler did, she was smart and foul mouthed and rambunctious.
"Hey!" Angel called out, getting everyone's attention. She stood by the table holding her phone, after having got out and dried off at some point. "Listen up. News from Apex."
Everyone quieted down. "Go on," Davey prompted.
"KTM dropped Parker Shannon. Cole Lindt suspended for two races. Well, they're both suspended for two races, but without sponsors and being on a team, it may be longer for Parker to come back."
Davey crossed his arms over his chest. "Feels like a victory, but a small one."
Stewart put his tongs down and leaned over Angel's shoulder to look at the message.
"Shannon doesn't have his own bike or resources.
Without a team or sponsors, it'll be a while.
Plus it's not going to be easy for him to get on a team.
He hasn't shown anything but his ass since coming to up to the 450 team. "
"You can say that again," Tyler murmured, standing beside Davey.
Water dripped from his hair that had started turning more a white blond, bleached from the sun, and down his tanned face looking very lickable.
Davey leaned over and sucked at his lips, making Tyler giggle.
That was Davey's favorite sound in the world, so he did it again.
"Geez, Cuz, get a room!" Jessie complained, but everyone else just laughed along.
"The thing is. We don't know that they're behind everything. The threats and vandalism. So, security measures stay in place for now," Angel said, pointing at Davey and Tyler.
"Sure, Angel," Davey agreed. It couldn't hurt to keep security in place.
The KTM troublemakers had been up front and blatant about their threats.
The other threats had been significantly more covert.
Letters, emails, and messages from accounts that opened and closed on the same day, making it almost impossible to trace.
Secretive and more scary than Shannon's verbal diarrhea.
Despite all the fun they were having, most of the people at the party had to catch flights the next day.
The next race was in Texas, so the flight would be short, but once they got to the track, work started.
Luke and Tony had the earliest flights. The RV and bike trailer had already been parked in Arlington, but they had to be driven to the track.
Davey was ready to get back to work. The training with Tim had been great. On the track, Tate had helped push him harder, and he knew he'd done the same for Tate. It would pay off in the long run, and Davey couldn't wait to get back to racing to show off what he'd picked up.
The party broke up and Tyler joined Davey in the shower to rinse off the chlorine from the pool.
Davey ended up on his knees, sucking Tyler off because he couldn't stand not having his hands on his lover for one more instant.
With Tyler's cock hot and heavy in his mouth, his hand roamed up his muscular thighs and grabbed on to his ass.
His cheeks filled Davey's hands, as he pulled Tyler closer, deep throating him, and swallowing twice before pulling off.
He reached down to his own cock, stroking himself fast and hard as he sucked Tyler's cock.
It only took a minute before he came all over the tiled floor of the shower and Tyler grunted, thrusting into Davey's mouth as he came hard, too.
They hadn't been having sex as regularly as they were used to.
Davey planned on making that up to Tyler, immediately.
He stood up and wrapped Tyler in his arms. "Come to bed, baby. I missed you."
"Mmm. Missed you too."
They crawled in bed together, entwining their naked bodies together and totally wrapping up in each other.
Davey felt secure and loved and perfect.
The break had been exactly what he needed and in Tyler's arms was exactly where he needed to be.
The only thing that could be better was if the threats against them were over with, but he was afraid they hadn't seen or heard the last of Parker Shannon or their mysterious menace. "Hey, Ty."
"Huh?" Tyler snuggled him, burying his nose into Davey's neck.
"I want to try to work out a truce with Cole." Davey didn't give a shit about the suspension. He didn't care about punishment or revenge. He just wanted it to stop.
"What the hell?" Tyler pulled away, propping himself up on his elbow and staring down at Davey with fierce green eyes.
"Maybe with Shannon out of the picture, he'll back off. You know? If Andy was right and this was mostly Shannon. We can just get back to racing without the bullshit."
Tyler dropped down onto Davey's chest with a sigh. "I don't know, baby. Cole had it in for me before all this shit came up. I think it was just an excuse to do what he wanted to do in the first place. We never got along from day one."
"Why's that?"
"Beat's the hell out of me. I never did anything. I thought things were turning around between us after I was assigned lead for his bike. He'd seemed happy enough after he won. Then, the picture fucked it all up."
Davey pulled Tyler in tighter, wanting to protect him from every kind of hurt. "I think we should try."
"Okay. I guess it couldn't hurt. Just don't expect much, Davey."
