Behind. Behind. Always fucking behind.
Three years on top ended in twisted metal and white-hot pain—snapped femur, shattered collarbones, his body breaking louder than the crowd ever cheered.
Just in time for some Supermotocross nobody who couldn’t make a name for herself in her own discipline to wander into his and take everything he’d built while he was stuck learning how to walk again.
She wasn’t supposed to matter.
Motocross was his.
Is. His.
Now, two years after the pileup, he’s back—
—and hasn’t touched gold since.
Every podium ends the same—her name first, his second. Silver that feels worse than losing ever did.
Rhett stomps through the paddock towards his trailer, sweat drying into grit on his skin, jaw locked so tight it aches. It’s only day one of the competition and he already knows how it ends.
Every time.
His leg throbs.
His shoulder pulls wrong.
His head’s too loud.
He needs a line—
Something to shut it all up.
He shoulders into someone hard enough to shift them, not even sparing a glance.
You’re too shit a rider to have as big an ego as you do, Copeland.
Her voice cuts clean through the noise. Flat. Unimpressed.
He stops.
Shifting just enough to angle his head over his shoulder, catching her in his peripheral like something he doesn’t want to look at directly—but can’t not look at either.
Of course it’s her.
A demon with the face of an angel sent to torment him as if his life hasn’t been one long joke.
…What.
Not a question.
A warning.
