A somewhat mysterious guy with a bad boy image who wore leather jackets and rode a motorcycle. He couldn't be right for Erik. But could Erik resist the feelings the Trent evoked? And would something else get in the way before they could figure out they had feelings for each other? *I originally wrote this story in 2012. Upon Review I realized it could be much better. I worked to edit it, and made revisions to the end. Title was formally "Meeting the Bad Boy". Please enjoy this newer version.
