Twenty-One

One week later

With another week behind him, another Saturday under his belt, Cam was looking forward to an afternoon out on the lake. Sundays were usually busy enough to keep all of them working, but this one was slower than normal, and Cam had convinced Dare to manage the few appointments they had for the afternoon so Cam could get Gannon out on the water again.

It’d been a long week, and they needed to do something fun, to take some time to relax and enjoy. Without all the stress of work, without the constant friction caused by Cam’s fears. Even though they’d talked it out, things had still been tense between them all week.

Ever since the night Gannon had called him from California, letting Cam know that he missed him, Cam had been thinking about him often. About whether they should move forward, see where this took them. Whether or not it was time for them to take things to the next level, because if they did go forward, that was inevitable—seriously, the sexual tension between them was like a dry twig folded in half, ready to break at any second. But mostly, Cam had been thinking how relieved he’d been to share one of his deepest fears with someone and not be judged. Knowing Gannon had been in California, Cam had nearly come undone. And it hadn’t been until Gannon had landed back in Texas a week ago that he’d released the breath he’d been holding for the two days Gannon had been gone.

Still, it was more than that. The fact that he’d been scared enough to run from Gannon meant he had feelings for him. This wasn’t casual anymore.

“What’s up, bro?”

Cam looked up to see Teague darting through the office.

“Where’re you off to?” Cam hollered.

“Gotta go see a man about a thing.”

Cam had no idea what that meant, nor did he bother to ask; instead, he pulled out the appointment book and scanned through the next week, his thoughts drifting back to Gannon.

It all came down to the fact that Cam missed him. More than he even cared to admit to himself, but more than he could deny. Although work had been hectic for both of them, they’d managed to spend several hours together over the course of the week since Gannon had gone to California. It had helped. Some. And when they couldn’t see each other, they’d talked on the phone late at night when Gannon got home, even texted throughout the day, but still, Thursday night had been the last time Cam had seen Gannon, and he was ready for more.

Because they both knew their relationship was escalating rapidly, they’d opted to keep playing it safe during the week, going to dinner out rather than eating in. Gannon had taken Cam to an Indian restaurant on Monday—apparently one of Gannon’s favorites—and Cam had been schooled on curries and spices. All in all, Cam hadn’t hated it. It wasn’t his favorite, either. Then, on Tuesday night, Cam had taken Gannon to Chuy’s, his favorite Mexican food restaurant in Austin.
