Excerpt
Keying open the door to
their hotel room, Will tries to fake some cheer. “Honey, I’m home! And I
brought dinner!” He stops and grips the bags more firmly as his cock rushes
with a sudden influx of blood.
“Just put it over there.”
Patrick’s ass is in the air, his hands flat on the floor, and he’s wearing
nothing but his black boxer-brief underwear. “I’ll eat it when I’m done.”
Will stares as Patrick
swivels, his body moving fluidly and his legs flexing in strong, limber
movements.
“What are you doing?”
“This is downward dog. And
this—” Patrick moves down with careful, slow strength. “Is plank position.” The
muscles in his arms, back, and thighs are like bundles of wires, and Will’s
mouth goes dry, remembering clearly how they felt under his hands.
“Looks hard.”
Patrick doesn’t answer. Will
turns to put the food on the table, because if he keeps watching, something
else is going to be hard too.
He clears his throat,
glancing over his shoulder at the flexing muscles in Patrick’s back. “When we
met, I wouldn’t have pegged you as a yoga kind of guy.”
Patrick grunts. He’s in a
position now that Will can’t even imagine twisting himself into.
“I mean, you don’t seem like
an ‘om’ type.”
“Yoga, and meditation for
that matter, are legitimate, effective, and scientifically proven means to an
end: physical health and reduction of mental stress. In other words, it helps
keep me sane.” Patrick moves into an upright position, sweeps his arms over his
head, and brings them back to a prayerful place at his chest. “Sanity is
something you could stand to try. And none of that spiritual mumbo jumbo has
anything to do with it.”
“So says the guy who
believes in astrology.”
“Sure, be a Libra about it.”
Will feels heat in his
cheeks. “The yoga doesn’t seem to hurt as far as keeping the rest of you in
shape either.”
Patrick’s lips turn up into
a smirk.
Will clears his throat,
turning to the bags of food. He keeps his back to Patrick as he unpacks the
takeout packages onto the small dining table. “So, do you want the gyros or the
mac ‘n’ joes, because I can go either way.”
Patrick’s breath is tingly
in Will’s ear and his body heat warm along Will’s back. “I go both ways too.
It’s your call.” He reaches around and plucks up one of the Styrofoam boxes
without looking inside.
Will swallows and gestures
at the box still on the table. “This will be fine.”
He doesn’t know for sure
which it is, but it will be fine, so
long as his dick stops acting like a traitor and his mind stops supplying him
with images of Patrick bent over, taking Will’s fingers into his tight,
hot—God!
He shakes himself.
“Mmm, gyros,” Patrick
murmurs from his perch on the bed. “So good.”
Will’s eyes flutter closed
as he sits at the table and spreads a napkin over his crotch. No matter how
good Patrick looks almost naked, they aren’t doing that again. It would be
wrong. Because Will loves Ryan.
Who are you trying to convince?
He sighs and begins to eat.
Mac ‘n’ joe is always tasty. Though at the moment it seems hard to choke down.
