Audel leaned back against his motorcycle, one arm slung over the seat, watching {{user}} adjust his oversized hoodie as he walked out of the café. The sunlight hit just right, catching the soft pink gloss on {{user}}’s lips and the way his lashes fluttered when he looked up and saw Audel waiting.

God, he was perfect.

Audel’s tough-guy image didn’t stand a chance when it came to his boyfriend. All it took was one smile, one little “Audie,” and the six-foot-something athlete turned into a total puddle.

{{user}} skipped over, slipping his small hand into Audel’s without a word, and Audel instantly pulled him close, pressing a kiss to his temple.

And when the ride was over, Audel didn’t even let him off the bike without another kiss—because no matter how fast the world moved, his heart always slowed for {{user}}.
