Chapter Six
Brian's head was reeling and his balls ached. Stomping snow off his boots at the back door to Sarah's, he wondered what his chances were of getting upstairs unnoticed. It wasn't that he was trying to be unsociable; he just needed time to think. Alone.
He didn't want to admit he'd only started toward Seattle to prove he could. He wouldn't go so far as to say he would have eventually settled there or even hit the club scene to find some rockin' hard abs to take his mind off his sadness. Now, here…
He closed his eyes, not wanting to overthink the moment, just wanting to enjoy whatever it was that was happening between him and Hawk. It was crazy insane, but he felt like he was supposed to be here. In this place. In this moment. With Hawk.
Why? He certainly wasn't a believer in predestination.
Stepping out of his boots, he tiptoed across the linoleum to the staircase. Relieved, he made it all the way up the stairs and into the bedroom without anyone noticing. He could hear Sarah in the kitchen banging pots and pans, and immediately felt guilty because he wasn't down there helping her clean up after the rush. She was letting him use the upstairs bedroom for free, after all.
With a heavy sigh, he sat down on the bed, dropped his purchases on the ground, and lay back. Unconsciously he rubbed his dick through his jeans, thinking about the way it had felt to bend Hawk over and use his ass. So good. So damn good.
He wouldn't think about how badly he missed Michael and Brandon, though they both passed through his mind. He pushed the thought of them away and focused on the chocolate brown of Hawk's eyes and the golden flecks that brightened his irises.
Should he stay awhile? Just to see what happened? Was he ready for another relationship so soon after losing Michael…and Brandon?
The smart thing to do would be to leave town with his heart still intact.
He pulled the bedside phone onto the bed and Jenks's business card from his jeans pocket. The phone was attached to the wall by a cord, and the receiver was attached to the main housing by a curly line. He reminded himself he might want to go ahead and order a new cell phone as he dialed the after-hours number. “Hey, Matthew. This is Brian. I wanted to give you the go-ahead on the Jeep. Whatever it takes to fix it. Do I need to bring you a deposit down in the morning to get things started?”
Jenks told him he'd start ordering parts if he could bring down half of the estimate in the next day or so.
“I can do that.”
Brian housed the receiver and relaxed. That decision wasn't nearly as hard as he'd thought it would be. Smiling, he told the empty room, “I guess I'm staying awhile.”
He lifted the phone back to his ear and dialed his parents' house number. His mother answered on the third ring.
