Chapter Nine

Over the next few weeks, Jonty couldn’t recall ever being happier, even before the horror of losing his family. He had jumped at the chance to buy the lighthouse and the deal progressed quickly. He had great fun planning all the changes he wanted to make. He had commissioned Jed to make bespoke display units and shelving for the gallery area, agreeing to a price that Jonty knew was too low but Jed wouldn’t budge on. Cliff House had sold to a local family with four children, with Jed instrumental in agreeing a deal they could afford. It hadn’t even gone on the market so Jonty hadn’t had to worry about showing people around. He’d already moved out everything he needed and just went back there to paint, something that he was doing more and more. His nights were spent at Jed’s place. He was becoming known around the village as he sat on the quay sketching and, though still shy about talking to people, he no longer ran away when they approached. He’d also started volunteering at the lifeboat station and was painting a set of watercolors, featuring the boat and crew, to turn into new postcards for the kiosk there.

With three weeks to go before the auction, he had yet to finish his own offering, hence his current position with a sketchpad on his knees observing the lifeboat crew as they trained. Of course he wasn’t getting a lot done because Jed in his RNLI uniform was far too distracting.

Jonty gave Marmite a scratch behind the ears. “He’ll be done soon, boy. I promise.” At his feet, Marmite rolled onto his back, demanding a belly rub. Jonty got to his knees to oblige, digging his fingers into Marmite’s soft fur. “You are such an attention seeker,” Jonty murmured.

“It’s taken you a while to work that one out, and I have to say, you look spectacular on your knees.”

“Jed!” Jonty scrambled to his feet. “Are you all finished?”

“We are. How did your sketching go? Can I see?”

Jonty bit his lip but handed over his pad. Jed flicked through the pages, his grin widening. “You seem to be obsessed with one particular subject.”

“Well, it’s especially inspiring.” Jonty’s cheeks heated. Every sketch he’d done was of Jed. The man did have a body worthy of art after all. “They’d be even better if you were naked,” he whispered.

“It sounds to me like someone needs my personal attention. Time to go home.”

Jonty gathered his things, shoving pencils and paper into his satchel as quickly as he could. Marmite caught the mood and headed for home at a rapid trot.

“I would like to draw you some time if you’d let me…I mean, you know…”

“Without my clothes on.” Jed gave him the kind of smile that made Jonty’s knees shake. He nodded his head so fast his vision blurred. “Okay.”

“Did you just say I could…?”

“Sure. Why not? It could be fun, especially if you draw naked and I put you in chastity first.”

Jonty gulped.
