Chapter Six

Verin heaved the hay bale down from the loft, swiping irritably at the itchy bits stuck to his face. His broad shoulders and thick arms had gotten him shanghaied into hay duty that morning while Shaxy went to play with the ponies. Ness, being pretty and kinda willowy-looking—though he could've snapped most of these pussy cowboys in two—was in the other barn helping with the baby milk cows.

"And I get the shit grunt work. So what else is new?" He straightened in the cramped confines of the hayloft to stretch his back and slammed the top of his head, right between his horns, against a rafter. "Fuck!"

"You all right up there, Hammer?"

"Just peachy," Verin growled as he plunked down on the hay bale he'd dropped, while the loft spun in slow circles.

A battered hat followed by a concerned pair of bright green eyes appeared at the top of the ladder. "Jeez M. Crow." The rest of Corny's buff self followed, the hard muscles in his arms seriously threatening his shirt seams as he heaved himself up into the loft and knelt in front of Verin.

Damn fine for a human. Seriously fine. Verin tugged at his suddenly uncomfortable jeans and jerked his head back when Corny reached for him. The damn horns… "Hey! Hands off!"

Corny yanked his hands back as if stung. "No offense meant. Just trying to see if you took any serious hurt."

"No." Verin snapped, rubbing the sore spot gingerly. Corny frowned and looked…what? Confused? Hurt? Had he done that? He hated that he'd never been good with the squishy stuff but damn it, the guy was hot and he didn't annoy the hell out of Verin. He hadn't meant to snarl at him. "Yeah, I'm all right. Just not real graceful."

"You got more heft than a damn bison," Corny grumbled and put a finger under Verin's chin to lift his head. "You got no need for graceful. Here, just look at me a sec. Yeah, all right. Y'got your bell rung, but you don't seem all cockeyed and cider drunk."

"Er…that's a good thing, right?" Verin held still, that single finger making his insides spark. This shouldn't be happening. It's not like I don't make sure I get some when we dock somewhere. Unlike certain picky demon princes. It's not like I'm hard up.

But it had been a long while since he wanted a particular someone. Usually he just fucked the first willing thing with a pulse. This man with his rough hands and his bone-rattling deep voice did things to Verin's nerves that had nothing to do with pissing him off.

Corny chuckled, a heavy, rich sound that caressed Verin's stomach and settled in his balls. "Yeah. That's a good thing. Good thing it was your skull and not your nose. Looks like that's been broke a couple times already."

"Calling me ugly?" There came the irritation wave, right on schedule.

"Oh, hell, no. You're damn good looking, 'specially for such a big man. Just look like you've had to stand up for yourself a time or two.
