Chapter Ten

Jay was up and dressed, stuffing the last of his provisions in his duffle bag when Bodie knocked.

Despite his new misgivings about Bodie, Jay’s pulse sped a bit when he opened the door. Bodie looked more drool-worthy than ever, in camouflage shorts that fell to his knees, a black tank top showing off his muscular arms, hair tied back off his face.

Unable to help himself, Jay smiled at him. “You realize we’re not gonna be attacked by Viet Cong out there, right?”

Bodie smirked, eyebrow lifting. “Well, someone’s wide awake. Already busting my balls.”

“What’s up?” Jay asked, still standing at the door.

Bodie turned around and looked behind him, pointing. Jay leaned out the door and saw a red SUV with two large, orange canoes strapped to the top. “Everything’s set,” Bodie said. “Eben’s gonna drive us down to the river, but he wants us to have breakfast on the sun patio first for Sassy’s birthday.”

Jay’s mouth fell open. “Eben’s up? And functional?”

Bodie chuckled. “Tate told me about your adventures in fake blood last night.”

“Isn’t he hung over?”

“Sure.” Bodie shrugged. “But he’s a seasoned pro.”

“But he was slaughtered last night!” Jay said. “And I mean that metaphorically, thank God. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw him lying on the floor.”

Bodie looked Jay up and down. “Are you planning to invite me in anytime soon?”

“Sorry. Come in.” He stepped back away from the door.

Bodie looked Jay over as he stepped into the cottage. He leaned in, and Jay stiffened a bit as Bodie kissed him.

Bodie stepped back. “Everything all right with you?”

Jay nodded, probably too enthusiastically. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m great.”

Bodie frowned. “Okay...” He looked over at Jay’s duffle bag on the chair. “You got everything? Eben’s got bottled water and all that, and I guess everything else is at the cabin.”

Jay sat down on the small, floral sofa and tied his shoes. “Good. Give me one second here.”

Bodie was staring at Jay, an odd look on his face. Jay wasn’t trying to be rude or cold to Bodie. But now that Bodie was here, standing before him in all his fuckable glory, Jay couldn’t put Eben’s drunken words out of his mind.

Bodie moved over and sat down next to Jay on the sofa. “Sassy said she saw you last night, too. I must have been sleeping pretty good, I missed all the fun.”

“Yep,” Jay said. “Just a quick visit. Don’t worry, Evelyn patted me down before I left.”

Bodie chuckled. “I wasn’t worried. Just curious what you talked about.”

“Nothing of import,” Jay said. “Nothing about blackmail or Eben or anything cloak and dagger, if that’s why you’re asking.”

Bodie frowned at Jay. “That wasn’t why I was asking,” he said. “I was just curious, making conversation. You sure you’re all right? You’re acting kind of weird.”

Part of Jay wanted to confront Bodie right then and there about what Eben said. Okay, a big part. But at the same time, he was afraid of coming off as insecure, and it was so early in their budding romance.
