Peyton was wide awake long after Brag had fallen asleep. He had dozed off for a while, but for no more than twenty minutes. Taking care, he got out of bed, knowing from past experience that when he was in the mood to write, he couldn’t ignore it. That would mean leaving Brag and returning to his own house. Regret filled him, but he was wide awake and itching to write. If they were to have a future together, Brag needed to get used to his peculiar habits, one of which was to write at odd times during the day and night. He dressed, covered Brag with the blankets, and then leaned down to press a kiss to the man’s lips. He turned off the lights and headed out.

The dogs were waiting at the back door as if they knew he would be awake to write. He let them out and went to make coffee. They returned quickly enough and sat there waiting patiently for him to toss them a treat. It was a ritual they had long since established. Peyton gave both dogs a good scratch as they leaned heavily against his legs, effectively pinning him to the cabinet.

A smile pulled at his mouth. “Are you Daddy’s good puppies?” King sneezed but didn’t bark. Cupcake’s tongue licked his wrist. “Okay, go back to bed. Get some sleep.”

He watched as they trotted off. Then he poured a tall cup of coffee and added cream and sugar to it. The aroma filled his nostrils as he made his way to his office. It wasn’t long before he was completely immersed in the story. Words flowed, filling the pages on the screen. He only took breaks to lean back and stretch his back or rest his eyes, taking appreciative sips of coffee as he did so.

As he glanced away to allow his eyes to focus on something else, a movement near the window caught his attention. Peyton screamed like a girl and fell out of his chair as he saw the huge head mere inches away from the pane of glass. It was illuminated by the light from the lamp. Curious brown eyes studied him. There was an intelligence there he didn’t want to consider. The large brown bear seemed to be thinking about how he was going to get his next meal. It didn’t help when he licked the window with his long tongue and then lifted a paw to press against it. The length of his claws was both impressive and mesmerizing.

The bear moved back, startled, when the dogs charged in and put themselves between Peyton and the window, barking like crazy. When King walked on him, Peyton scooted back and got shakily to his feet.

“What the hell?” Brag’s appearance should have surprised him, too, but it didn’t. He was relieved the other man was there.

“There’s a bear out there,” Peyton said shakily as he pointed unnecessarily. “He licked the window and looked at me like I was a steak.
