@cam4ever I missed that gorgeous face. Wait, who’s the guy next to him? For a moment I thought it was Cam but it isn’t.
@richter3wdc I did some digging. His name is Nico Laurent, and he’s bi!
@cam4ever with how much like Cam he looks from afar (obviously he’s nowhere near as hot), wouldn’t be surprised if Daily Fail confused him for Cam in those pictures.
@richter3wdc if those pictures even exist. I’m starting to doubt it.
Cam found out Scott was in Vegas through a fucking gossip account.
A gossip account.
Cam stared at the post on his phone. The paddock around him buzzed with noise and movement. Mechanics wheeled equipment through the garage. Engineers discussed setup changes. Someone was laughing loudly nearby.
Cam heard none of it.All he could see was Scott’s face.Seven photographs. The first showed Scott stepping out of a black SUV, sunglasses pushed into his hair and a paddock pass hanging around his neck. The second showed him laughing at something.The third showed him waving at someone off-camera.
The fourth—
The fourth showed Scott standing beside a tall, dark-haired man. Nico Laurent. Apparently.
Cam stared at the picture.
The resemblance wasn’t exact. Laurent’sface was narrower. His features were softer. His posture lacked the instinctive confidence that years of elite sport had drilled into Cam.
But from a distance…Cam could see it.
And it irritated him to no end. This had to be fake. The guy wasn’t Scott’s type at all.
Maybe his type has changed, a nasty voice said at the back of his mind.Or do you think he liked only your dick and can’t like anyone else’s?
Something hot and ugly twisted in Cam’s chest.
He clicked on another picture.
Scott and Laurent walking side by side. Scotty smiling at him. Laurenttouching Scott’s lower back while they talked.
Cam exited the app so abruptly he nearly dropped his phone.
For a moment he simply stood there, trying and failing to identify what exactly was making him so furious. Itwasn’t jealousy.It couldn’t be.That would be insane.And Laurent wasn’t actually Scott’s boyfriend.Probably.Almost certainly.Scott was likely just helping clean up the mess Cam had dragged him into.
The thought should have made him grateful, but it only made him want to punch something.
His phone buzzed, and Cam looked down.
A message from his PR manager.
Alice: Good. This is exactly what we needed. Social sentiment is already shifting. The resemblance is convincing enough that people are questioning the article.
Cam stared at the text. Then he locked his phone without replying.
Good. Right. This was good.
His gaze drifted toward the paddock entrance.
Scott was here, in the paddock. Forthe first time in weeks.Close enough that Cam could find him and see him and touch him in less than ten minutes.
The realization hit him like a physical blow. It had beenmore than a month.More than a month without hearing Scotty’s warm laugh in person.More than a month of dry texts and unanswered messages and wondering whether Scott still gave a fuck.
