THIRTEEN

The first thing that Sam became aware of was his head, which was pounding like some manic drummer was inside of his head, beating on his pain centers like it was going out of style. His mouth was dry and tasted like whiskey, and someone must have snuck in while he slept and attached cement to his arms and legs because he was pretty sure he couldn’t move.

“Sammy?” The voice that spoke his name was unmistakable, even thick with sleep as it was. There was a man in his arms, a warm, familiar man who turned to face him and gave him a sleepy, beautiful little smile as their eyes met.

“Hey, Gunner,” Sam murmured back and then frowned as he looked around. “Wait, Gunner? Where am I?”

Groaning, Sam rubbed his head, which hadn’t stopped throbbing from the moment he’d first opened his sticky, gummy eyes. What did he remember? The last thing was chatting with Gunner, and then, things got embarrassing.

Sam was a grown man, and it wasn’t fun to think that he was the sort of person who thought he needed to be taken care of. He’d been so nervous, and he’d ended up drinking far more than he usually did, spurred on by those nerves but also by the fun that he’d been having with Gunner.

Though he spent a lot of time at the bar, he mostly spent it nursing a beer or two. He pretty much never got into shots, and his body was letting him know in no uncertain terms that it didn’t approve.

Still, it really didn’t suck to wake up next to Gunner, who had taken care of him the night before. Yeah, that was a little bit humiliating, but it was actually pretty easy to get past that when he got to look into sleepy, beautiful hazel eyes and feel a strong body rest against his.

“Never mind,” Sam murmured, then leaned in and, pounding head or not, laid his lips lightly against Gunner’s. Maybe Sam wasn’t at his best, with his hair a mess and his mouth still tasting of whiskey, but he still found Gunner waiting for him, returning the pressure of Sam’s lips.

When the kiss ended, Sam allowed himself to just look at the other man. The man who had taken care of him, though he totally could have dumped Sam off with Ben, if he’d wanted to. The man who was smiling at him now, and who didn’t seem to hold any of his weakness of the night before against him.

How had he not seen immediately how perfect Gunner was? Gorgeous, yes, but there was more to him than just his looks. There was a heart in there that even the gruffest, most obnoxious exterior couldn’t cover up. Not for long, not once you spent time with him.

“What’s up?” Gunner asked, and Sam frowned. He’d been staring, hadn’t he? That had to be a bit unnerving, and it would probably freak Gunner right the hell out if he knew just what Sam had been thinking about.
