CHAPTER 15

Ten minutes. Shit.

Carver ran his hands through his shaggy hair and tried not to think about the fact he was naked as he planned his next course of action. He’d never get that laundry put away in time. Okay, fine. Dirty laundry in two garbage bags stacked by the front door for the next trip. Clean clothes on the dining room table. Trash and recycling mixed in a third bag and shoved in the closet with the water heater. He hoped he’d remember it was there before the food in it rotted enough to remind him. A quick run of the vacuum over the carpet and straightening the furniture. He grabbed a dishcloth from the oven door and wiped his face, then used it to wipe down the coffee table and television. He was just stuffing it in one of the dirty laundry bags when David came back.

“Hey!” Carver jumped out of the view of the hall. “You could warn a guy.”

David dropped the hamper by the door, but didn’t close said door. “Carver Eliot shy…who knew?”

“I’m not shy,” he snapped, using the miniscule dishcloth to shield himself as he reached over and slammed the door shut behind David. “Mrs. Edsel across the hall is a horny old bat and won’t let me forget the one time I made the mistake of passing by her shirtless. The fact I’m gay only seems to add to the appeal.”

“And this was before you started working out regularly.”

“Kicking your ass—” David raised an eyebrow. Right, so it was his ass more than David’s, but he had some pride still. “Sparring with you once a week is hardly a regular workout.”

“For you it is.”

“Whatever. Just knock next time, all right? Please?”

David got that small half smile Carver was coming to know so well. “Well, since you asked so nicely.”

“Great. Thank you. Glad that’s settled.” Carver rolled his eyes and turned away.

David caught his arm.

“Yes?”

David’s eyes scanned the room. “I’m not going to get any nasty surprises if I open your closets, am I?”

Since the water heater wasn’t technically in a useable closet, Carver felt safe in replying, “See for yourself it you don’t trust me.”

“I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.”

“Magnanimous.”

“I try.” He looked around the room, making Carver wince in awareness of the layer of dust on everything and the corners of the room still waiting to see a broom. “Not bad for ten minutes,” David surprised him by saying.

“Yeah?”

David shrugged.

Feeling brave, Carver edged closer. “Do I get my reward now?”

David met his bold gaze squarely. “Just because you’re naked, you think you’re going to get laid, don’t you?”

He trailed a hand down David’s chest, eyes continuing down to enjoy the firm bulge in David’s oh-so-sexy jeans, “I think keeping me naked is more for your benefit than mine.”

“Really?”

It was Carver’s turn to shrug.

“And what if I said I wasn’t getting undressed today?”

He hadn’t considered the possibility. “Then I’d think I did all this work for nothing.”

“Is that the only reason
