Chapter Four

Colton got undressed, stood under the cool shower for a long time, hoping Diego would join him. But he didn’t come. Finally he dried off, slid naked between the sheets.

His head felt hollow, his neck weak somehow, weaker than it needed to be. Maybe from now on, every time he felt afraid, he’d feel it like weakness in his neck. He drifted into sleep, was tangled up and lost in some sad dream when Diego kissed him sweetly on the mouth, slid into bed with him and touched his belly with gentle fingers.

He rolled over. Diego was still wearing the eye patch, black hair falling over his forehead, his skin the rich color of café au lait. “Don’t you need to take it off?”

Diego shook his head. “Not yet.”

They looked at each other for a long moment, then Diego rolled onto his back with a long sigh.

“You don’t have to go, baby.” Colton wasn’t a genius, but even a thick-headed cop with dust in his boots could understand that Diego was leaving, he was getting ready to run again. This wasn’t Diego’s world. The rough desert, Sonora, the outlaw way, that was Colton’s world. Somebody torched his life? He’d burn down the fucking world.

But that wasn’t Diego’s way. Intellectual, brilliant, beautiful, with a powerful family behind him? Diego wasn’t going to hang around a dusty border town, waiting for some shit-heel bounty hunter to put him in handcuffs and drag him off to jail. It was unthinkable. But there was more.

“Diego, listen to me. I’m afraid, too.”

Diego sat up and pushed the hair back from his face, sighing. “No, you’re not.”

“Okay, I’m not. But I’m afraid of one thing. That when I wake up in the morning, you’ll be gone. And I won’t be able to find you, and I won’t know if you’re…”

“Colton, stop it. I’ve got to go see a surgeon in Mexico City about my eye. That’s all.

And I’m too close to the border.” He spit the words out. “And I’m too close to the fucking sheriff of Pima County.”

Colton felt helplessness creeping up on him like the tide, could almost taste cold, salty water lapping at his mouth. “I’m afraid for you to go. I won’t be looking out for you. I won’t be with you. Anything could happen.”

“Just leave it.”

He started to speak, and Diego put a hand over his mouth. “I said leave it.”

Fuck! Colton bit down on one of Diego’s fingers. “So what do you want me to do?

Pick up your mail? Yeah, go ahead. Give me a dirty look, tough guy.”

Diego grinned, clearly against his will, but it didn’t last. “Colton, there is something I want you to do for me. But I already asked you. To let it go. To use the system, do this the right way. Not your way, your gray areas. To not do anything that will make things worse, land you in prison, or dead. Because then I’ll be alone, and I’ll … never feel safe again.
