.****“Hello, welcome to Low-Town Specialty Tire Shop.Anything you need help finding, just let us know.”Joseph and Gage both nodded their thanks at the friendly greeting.Thankfully the place was low-key so they were able to wander around on their own.They were looking at some Pirelli’s when Gage asked Joseph a question out of the blue.“Is your family coming to this race? I noticed they didn’t make it out to the last one.”Surprised, Joseph looked up from the tires he was checking out.“Uh… no.My mother doesn’t come to my races often because they make her nervous.My little brother might come, it depends on what he’s got going on with his social life.”“And your dad?” Gage prompted.Joseph a hand through his hair and sighed.“My father and I don’t exactly see eye to eye on certain things.”“He doesn’t accept that you’re gay.”Looking at Gage, Joseph noted the hard expression on his face, like it angered him that his father had rejected him.“No, he doesn’t.In fact, when I told him I was gay, he kicked me out of the house and called me bacheh mozalaf, which basically means faggot.” Joseph tried to laugh and make light of the situation.“It was almost funny, him calling me that.It’s so rare that we speak Persian I almost didn’t know what he’d said.Anyway, that’s why I played so much pool while I was in law school.I went from having my parents’ financial support to being completely on my own.”Gage came over to him.“I want to call him a prick, but I won’t because he’s your father.I hope for both your sakes you reestablish your relationship one day.”Joseph shrugged.He remembered all too well the disgust that had been on Cyrus Naderi’s face as he’d kicked his eldest son out of the house.He wasn’t counting on there being a reconciliation any time soon, despite what his mother often said.The past couple of years, every time they talked or visited she said he was “coming around.” Joseph didn’t believe that for an instant.He pushed those memories out of his head when Gage tugged him close and kissed him on the temple, as usual not caring what anyone might think.“C’mon, let’s get you the best set of tires in this place.”****A couple hours later they were in Gage’s garage.The door was down to block out the cool wind and rain of a fall storm.Joseph sat on the couch made from the back seat of a classic Dodge Challenger, watching Gage put the new tires on his bike.They'd bought a set of Continental Trail Attacks, very nice, expensive tires.He was going to go for a run on them and if he liked the way they felt he'd get another set to have fresh for race day.With his sponsors, he'd be able to afford to swap out tires more than he had before.He'd offered to help, but Gage had laughed and said he'd be done much faster if he worked on his own.So he watched.Watched Gage.Watched his lips form a curse around the cigarette dangling from his mouth as he fit the wheel on the tire stand.Watched the smoke curl up over his head.Watched the way his long fingers gripped the tire iron as he worked the front tire off the wheel.Watched the way his jeans hugged his firm thighs and ass as he bent and rolled the old front tire off to the side.Joseph knew he was close to being obsessed with his boyfriend, but he didn't give a damn.Gage was so different from all the other men he'd ever dated and he loved it.Loved his attitude and the way he carried himself, like he didn't give a damn what anybody thought of him.Loved the way he looked with his hair tumbling over his forehead, the muscles in his shoulders and back bunching up with his movements.His dark, short-sleeved workmen's shirt he wore over a white t-shirt was frayed, his jeans torn and stained with grease.Joseph loved how gritty Gage was.He couldn't imagine Ashton getting dirty like this.No, Joseph didn't care that he was so into his boyfriend.Besides, Gage had admitted how much he thought of him.Joseph bit his lip, his cock hardening as he thought of Gage getting himself off at work because he thought of him so much.Gage looked up just then and caught him staring."What are you looking at?""You."Gage took a deep drag on the cigarette then exhaled and stubbed it out on the bottom of his boot."Got something on your mind?""You."Gage grinned."Is that right? What are you thinking about little old me?""Thinking how I like watching you get your hands dirty."Gage crooked a grimy finger at him."Come get dirty with me."Joseph stood and walked over."I thought you worked faster alone.""Sometimes it's not all about speed.Didn't I tell you that I liked to take my time?"Joseph remembered back to that night, when Gage had returned his bike."That's true, you did say that." He tskd."Flirting with your customer.Isn't that a violation of ethics?"Gage laughed and pulled him in between his hard body and the tire stand."Nah.Not fucking the client is only for doctor and lawyer types like you." Gage took the band from his hair."I don't know why you tie your hair up around me.You know I'm going to take it down." He fluffed his hair out around his shoulders."I've wanted to run my hands through it ever since you came in with it loose and wind-blown all over your head.""I wore it down that night on purpose.So you would know that I was more than just a suit."Gage brushed his hair over his shoulders, baring his neck."Oh, I knew.Even though you were shy and you left, I knew that you wanted to get dirty with me and that you'd be back." Gage kissed him behind his ear."And I was right."Joseph started to turn around, but Gage stopped him."We need to get this tire off." He picked up the rubber material that went between the tire iron and the wheel rim so it didn't get scratched."Gotta use protection."Joseph looked back over his shoulder at Gage."I thought these were called protectors.""Oh yeah, that's right.Using protection is what you held over my head until you got your way."Joseph laughed as he popped the tire off the rim."You should be thanking me.It was time for you to stop whoring around."Gage kissed him behind his ear again, whispering against his skin."Thank you, Joseph." Joseph shivered as Gage slipped his hand under his t-shirt to stroke across his stomach."Go ahead and grab the new tire."Joseph did, but Gage didn't move back, so when he bent over his thick erection pressed against his ass.Joseph bit his lip to hold back a little moan [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
