Chapter Four

When Araton awoke, the sun was halfway up the sky. He shook his head, confused by his body's need to sleep in the middle of the day. Wasn't it enough if he rested at night? The warm arms around his chest and middle tightened and he realized Jake was spooning him. His entire back was touching the other man's front. He sighed. Maybe sleeping more than he'd expected wasn't so bad, as long as he got to wake up like this.

"Did you have a nice nap?" Jake's voice was rough with sleep.

"Yeah." It has been another strange first experience, but refreshing. "You?"

"Sure." Jake kissed Araton's nape and pulled back. "As nice as it is to lie in bed with you, I think it's time we faced reality."

"Oh?" That was the one thing Araton just knew he wouldn't be much good at. Human reality totally eluded him, at least for now.

"Yes." Jake loosened his grip, pushing lightly until Araton turned toward him. "I really need to get back to my rental car which I left near the hotel in Georgetown. I fly back to Flagstaff, which is where I live, in two day's time. So I need to be in Denver pretty soon."

"Okay." Araton was about to be in really deep trouble.

"Okay?" Jake frowned. "What do you mean okay? I need you to tell me where we are, and we have to find a way to get to Georgetown."

"I don't know." Araton lowered his eyes, embarrassed.

"You don't know?" Jake pulled farther back, his frown deepening. "But you brought me here. How can you not know?"

"It's a long story." Araton hated the distance that was suddenly between their bodies. He wanted Jake's arms back around him. The way Jake suddenly looked at him wasn't what Araton wanted either.

"Well, I'd like to hear it." Jake left the bed and got dressed. "Since we seem to have nothing better to do, you might as well start talking."

Araton swallowed. With Jake now looking at him with a healthy dose of skepticism, he was suddenly very self-conscious about the fact that he was still naked. He blushed. His clothes were in the bathroom where he'd left them last night.

"I'll see what I can do about some food while you get dressed, all right?" Jake's gaze softened and he left the bedroom.

Thank Heaven for that small favor. Once Araton was dressed, he made his way to the small kitchen area where Jake had put bread, ingredients for sandwiches, and some orange juice on the small table. They each added a plate, glasses, and knives, and Araton quietly followed Jake's lead again as they put together their meal.

"You haven't done this very often, have you?" Jake's gaze was intent when Araton looked up from struggling with his small tower of food.

"What?" Araton clamped down on the bread, trying to keep the whole thing from falling apart.

"Making sandwiches." Jake waved at the crumbs around Araton's plate, the mess he'd left with the slices of ham that hadn't wanted to come apart and the squashed tomatoes that hadn't quite made it into the final product.
