Chapter Fifteen

Ben finished the last of the stretching reps that his physical therapist wanted him to do, mind already drifting to what he’d do when Maddox got done with his own therapy session.

Back when they’d been in BUD/S, Ben had been obsessed with doing exactly what the instructors asked and then some—going over and above whatever the expectations were. He knew it had driven a lot of people nuts at times, including Maddox. And now, once he’d decided to do this whole dating thing, he was obsessed with being the perfect boyfriend material.

Only problem was that he wasn’t entirely sure what that looked like. Trey had been the gracious host, a decent cook, and a social planner, managing their activities, which to be honest relied heavily on awesome sex, especially in the early months, and not much else. He already knew that wasn’t going to fly with Maddox, who needed more from his relationships than a steady diet of sex. What that was, Ben was still learning, but he was bound and determined to provide whatever it was because the thought of someone else providing it...well, that just wasn’t happening.

The making out and stroking off that morning had been just as mind-blowing as last night, but Ben had a feeling that rushing right home for a repeat wouldn’t impress Maddox. And Ben wanted to impress him even more than he wanted more sex.

“What’s a good date spot in town?” he asked his therapist, Melanie, as she prepared the electro-stim machine they ended each session with. She was tall but young, still gangly in that fresh-out-of-college way. “I need to impress a guy,” he added when she blinked, lest she think he was coming on to her.

“My last boyfriend took me to Old Town on our first date.” She smiled, eyes far away, clearly enjoying the memory.

He hadn’t done Old Town San Diego since he was a kid, and they’d had out-of-town relatives visiting. “But that’s a lot of walking.”

“There’s a trolley tour. And lots of restaurants for people watching.” Melanie arranged the electrode patches around Ben’s shoulder once he stretched out on his stomach.

“That could work.” He tried not to laugh at how her touch tickled.

“Is it the guy you come with? He seems...deep.”

Ben supposed that was one way of describing Maddox. He nodded.

“He might be more the art museum type if you don’t want to do Old Town or maybe the opera.”

Ben made a face. Oh hell no on the opera. He wanted to be romantic, not torture himself. “Old Town will be fine.”

“What about Old Town?” Maddox wandered over, crutches clicking against the floor. He settled into the chair closest to Ben’s therapy table.

“Thought we might go there after I’m done here.” He’d been shirtless in front of Maddox a million times before, and he’d refused Melanie’s offer of a drape the last few times she’d done the electro-stim, but still, he couldn’t help his face from heating as Maddox’s gaze swept over him. “Do the trolley and then get something to eat.
