Chapter Eighteen

Twenty minutes later, Aaron pulled his jeep into the parking lot of a restaurant with the security detail still following close behind. Lincoln wasn’t convinced he required two men to keep him safe, but whatever. He nodded to the men when they exited their car and invited them inside the restaurant to eat, with an explanation he’d be paying their tab.

Lincoln and Aaron took a seat away from the other patrons. The two security guards sat nearby; close enough to be a protecting force without being able to hear their conversation. Lincoln was happy about that. What he felt Aaron wanted to talk about was personal and the security team didn’t need to know their personal shit. Lincoln didn’t remove his sunglasses and ball cap until a waitress appeared at their table to take their food orders.

“I’ll have a cheeseburger, please, cooked medium, with extra fries,” Lincoln stated firmly. Aaron cleared his throat and their eyes connected, and damn it, Lincoln’s conscience got the better of him. “Scratch that,” Lincoln told the waitress. “I’ll have the grilled Mahi Mahi with steamed vegetables.”

“Would you like a baked potato or fries with that?” the waitress asked.

Again, Lincoln’s eyes flicked to Aaron. “Neither,” he answered. “Double the veggies on the plate instead.” The smile Aaron rewarded him with was worth the disinterest Lincoln now had for his lunch. When Aaron looked at him like that, all Lincoln wanted to do was kiss him senseless. It was crazy how this man affected him. A mere glance his way had Lincoln’s heart racing and his stomach in knots. No one had managed to do that to Lincoln. Not one person. Ever.

“I’ll take the same, please,” Aaron told the waitress. Once she was gone, Aaron directed his attention back to Lincoln. “Thank you for going to the nursing home with me,” Aaron finally said.

“Well, to be fair, I didn’t know that’s where you were taking me.” Lincoln smirked.

Aaron nodded and smiled faintly. “True, but you could have stayed behind in the car and you didn’t,” Aaron said. “You chose to come inside with me and that means a lot, so thank you.”

Aaron had his hand wrapped around the base of his water glass. Lincoln studied his long, tapered fingers for a second. He knew firsthand the strength in those digits, but right now, all Lincoln wanted to do was reach out and try to offer Aaron some of his own. The fact Aaron had even wanted to share something personal from his life with Lincoln wasn’t lost on him. Lincoln let that thought settle inside himself and take root. Meeting Margaret and getting a glimpse into who Aaron was as a man was enormous, and because of that, what he was feeling in this moment felt powerfully intimate. Without giving it much thought, Lincoln stretched his index finger and ran it along the backside of Aaron’s hand and fingers. Aaron’s gaze watched Lincoln’s finger move across his skin and then lifted to meet his eyes and Lincoln thought his heart would stop.
