Chris wasn't surprised to find Will on his doorstep on a Friday evening. Standard operating procedure and all that. But going to Tucson Raceway Park in the middle of August was not something he wanted to do after a long day at work. Still, how could he resist spending the evening with the secret love of his life, even if it was just to watch cars go around in a circle?<br><br>But when they’re together, fast cars aren’t the only thing that can make a heart thunder on a hot summer night. Will's got a surprise in store that will definitely turn up the heat.

“The chains loosened on one side. No matter what we did, the hoist wouldn’t tighten them back up. They had me hold the damn mess steady by propping up the engine at the bell housing.”


Chris blinked, astonished. “Where the hell did you find the energy to take me out, in this strength-sapping heat, and then fuck me stupid in that position?”

That was unbelievably sweet, and Chris flashed a bashful smile. “Still, we could have just crashed on my sofa and watched a romantic comedy. Less work to do after the day you’ve had. And probably with the same end result.” Chris picked up his own towel and did a cursory swipe everywhere except his back.


“True.” Will stood, legs visibly shaking with the effort. “I was going to make a move on you tonight, regardless of anything else. I was done waiting.”
