Chapter Fourteen

STACK MANAGED to find funding to get all the big cats tested at both the zoo and the African Lion Safari. It kept him busy enough, but he made a point of being done by six, and he’d kept his weekends open. For all the good it was doing him in the seeing-his-boy department. Robin was working late every night—sometimes not getting home until midnight.

Last week’s planned scene had never happened, Robin working sixteen hours both days. They hadn’t even had time, really, to talk about Robin’s long hours. And if he heard Robin apologize one more time, he was going to spank his lover until Robin couldn’t sit. He didn’t care if Robin was sorry or not—he wanted his boy home.

A bit of overtime was one thing, but the last two weeks had been ridiculous. Surely Robin saw that.

He glanced at his watch. It was 7:30 p.m. On a Friday. Robin had sworn he’d be able to get to the gym by six at the latest. Obviously yet another something had come up. Stack growled at the weights he was lifting as if they were responsible for this state of affairs.

Robin came dragging in, offered him a wan smile, then headed to the locker room to change. Growling, Stack put down the weights and followed him. They needed to talk more than Robin needed to work out.

He opened the door, shocked as hell to find Robin in another man’s arms, crying. “She’s just…. God, I’m not sure how I got in this mess, but I need her reference to get another job, and she knows it.”

Why the fuck wasn’t Robin talking to him about this? He growled, frowning at Robin and this interloper. “What the hell is going on here?”

“Master Stack.” The guy looked about as shocked as Stack felt. “I think someone needs you, bad.”

“Clearly. I just don’t understand why he didn’t come to me in the first place.” Still he took Robin’s arm and tugged his boy into his arms. They could deal with why Robin hadn’t turned to him after they dealt with what had his boy in tears.

“I think he sort of collapsed at a kind word. I asked how he was doing.” The guy smiled again, then waved. “I’m going to go back to work. I’m Jim, by the way. I’m glad you’re here. Bye, honey. Call me later and let me know you’re okay?”

Robin nodded and held on to Stack. “I’m okay. I promise.”

Stack wasn’t so sure about that, but he appreciated having the mystery of Robin in someone else’s arms cleared up. He continued to hold Robin, petting his boy’s back.

Robin clung to him, face in the curve of his throat as he calmed. “Sorry. Sorry. I didn’t know how mad I was.”

“You seemed more upset than mad, boy. Why don’t you tell me about it?”

“I’m tired. I can’t make her happy, and no matter what I do, she’s not satisfied.”

“Is there some sort of big event she’s got you working
