Chapter Nine

Holden rested his head against the door of the truck and watched through slitted eyes as Drew drove through the early morning. They’d decided to head south first and stop for breakfast along the way.

He’d awakened alone, and experienced a mild moment of loss before he realized Drew was only in the shower, not actually gone. Then the sound of singing from the bathroom had him smiling at the rumpled sheets, the pillow tossed sideways, bottle of lube still on the mattress where they’d left it. He’d been sure to grab the bottle for their room tonight.

As the memories played over in his head, Holden frowned slightly. He wasn’t sure where to put the idea that he’d actually died. Would have stayed dead if Drew hadn’t saved him.

The truck slowed and bounced as Drew turned in to a full parking lot outside a light pink stucco building pretending it was adobe. “Ready for breakfast?”

“Yep, and ready for more coffee, too.”

“Let your legs hang outside the door for a minute, I’ll bring your crutches around.” Without waiting for an answer, Drew slid from his seat. Slamming the door on any response, he retrieved the crutches from the back seat of the large truck, then walked around to where Holden sat, dutifully hanging his feet out the door.

“Not an invalid,” he said, but the memory of the words made him smile, totally ruining the effect he’d been aiming for.

“I’ll say. Of the two of us? I think you may be the one walking most normally this morning.”

Flooded with the memory of the pounding he’d given Drew’s ass, Holden placed his hand on Drew's arm. “You okay? I didn’t hurt you…”

Grinning, Drew said, “Let’s just say you’re on my mind every time I sit, but I think I’ll be just fine if you want to try that again, later. Come on.”

With a steadying hand on his waist, Drew helped him down from the big truck and then released him as they made their way inside. A waitress straight out of casting central in Hollywood called over her should for them to sit anywhere. Conversation buzzed but Holden noticed the quieting of each table they passed as they made their way to the only open booth at the far end of the restaurant. This was a local’s place, so even though they were on the main traffic route that led to and from Lake Havasu, most travelers would stay to the popular chain restaurants.

When they were settled, their pink-clad waitress bustled over with menus, two mugs, and a pot of coffee.

“Hey, Doc,” she said, plunking the down the cups and pouring without asking. “Don’t see you out this way much, anymore. I’ve missed you.” Her dark hair was cut at a sharp angle, and she titled her head toward Drew, so the too-black strands brushed against her chin. A pink flush spread up her neck, but it was hard to tell if she was embarrassed or excited. She was certainly happy to see Drew.
