Chapter Eight

Morning came and went, but they didn’t leave the shelter of the wagon until midday. Huddled together against the chill wind that drove sheets of rain, the only thing Everett had left their bed for was to retrieve his clothing and boots in the wee hours of the morn. If he’d left them out, they never would have dried.

Dalton suggested they make a name for themselves as the first naked cowboys, but Everett shook his head.

“I don’t want that kind of notoriety.”

“You don’t want to be famous?”

“Nope.”

Curled onto his belly, with his head cradled by his crossed arms, Dalton grinned at him. “What do you want?”

Lying on his back, Everett propped himself up a bit higher by stuffing his mostly dried pants behind his head. He’d never really thought about what he wanted. All he knew was what he didn’t want. Now, though, with Dalton in the picture, the possibilities were staggering. Still, without even giving the matter a tremendous amount of consideration, Everett thought he knew what he wanted, now that he had what he’d been looking for.

“I want a homestead. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere. A place where…” And here Everett trailed off. What if he spilled his heart only to find that his dream wasn’t Dalton’s?

“Where what?”

“Doesn’t have to be in the middle of nowhere, I guess. Just a place where I can live without having to explain myself to others. Where I can be at peace.”

“I’d like that, too.”

Dalton’s words eased the tightness in Everett’s chest.

“So…” Everett started then corralled himself. He wanted to get things straight between them, but he didn’t want to seem clinging.

“So?” Dalton prompted.

Cautiously, feeling his way along, Everett asked, “That mean you and I might stay together?” Damn. He sounded like he wanted to slap a brand on the man and claim ownership. And he did, but he didn’t want to scare him off. Just because the man had a moment of weakness and begged him to stay right where they were didn’t mean he would follow Everett anywhere he went. People said things in the heat of the moment that they ended up regretting.

“I told you that you and I have been seeking. Now we’ve found. What makes you think after all that I want to go back to bitter loneliness?”

“Well, hell, when you put it like that…” Everett trailed off this time because he leaned over to kiss Dalton.

Sweet and tender turned rough and demanding mighty fast. For a brief moment, he wondered if it would always be like this—crazy and fierce—or if they would eventually settle down. Not too much, but maybe just a bit so his cock wouldn’t get chapped from too much attention. Not that he minded so much. Not when the payoff was so spectacular.

When the storm passed and the sun came out, they left the wagon to make some grub, wash up in the spring, and debate where they were headed. Dalton insisted he wanted to stay right where they were, but Everett knew others would come.
