One bad year costs Kit both his chance at a real racing career and the only Caregiver who ever made him feel safe enough to stop running.
He covers the quiet with loud jokes and faster corners, taking a county road as close to the edge as he can when no one is watching.
Soren restores broken machines and has spent months around Redline MC looking for a Little he could build a life around.
He does not expect to find that man mid-performance in a bar, laughing too hard to hide how broken he is, yet he sees through it anyway.
Sushi and terrible bowling turn into a slow-burn, age-gap Daddy and boy romance neither of them can walk back from, rooted in the club’s found family.
Loving Kit means wanting the Little who colors quietly in a corner and the man who still hears an engine redline and wants to disappear into it.
