Chapter 15

A quiet, snuffling sound woke Tristan. He tried to shift positions, but a heavy arm pinned him in place. Cam.

Everything from a few hours before came back to him in a rush. He'd acted like he hadn't had sex in years rather than days. He'd never been that way with a lover before. Cam hadn't seemed to mind, though. Tristan's muscles twinged at the memory of how passionate Cam had been. His face heated.

The snuffling sound came again, and Cam's arm moved, pulling Tristan closer. He nuzzled Tristan's hair. "What time is it?"

Tristan leaned into the touch. "One-thirty."

Cam yawned. "Damn. That was one hell of a nap, Doc."

"It was, wasn't it." Tristan rolled over and smiled at Cam. "You can nap with me anytime."

Grinning, Cam stroked his thigh. "How about now?"

Tristan's erection answered for him.

Forty-five minutes later, they managed to get out of bed. Tristan pulled on a clean T-shirt, boxers, and a pair of jeans. By the time he finished, Cam was dressed as well.

Suddenly shy, Tristan struggled for something to say. The best he could do was, "You want some coffee or anything?"

Cam shook his head. "Nah. I have a few things I need to do today, and you have to call Claudia. So I guess I should get going."

"Okay." The reluctance in Cam's voice helped ease his disappointment. He walked Cam to the door.

At the door, Cam leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "I'll call you later."

Tristan smiled. "Good. I'll hold you to that."

"Tonight. I promise." Cam kissed him again, longer this time. He grinned when he drew away. "Damn. You're irresistible, Doc. I better get out of here or I'm not going to get anything done today."

Irresistible? Him? Hardly. Tristan laughed. "I don't think you need to flatter me, Cam. You already know I'll put out."

Cam stared at him for a second, and then gave him a lascivious grin. "Isn't there an old saying that flattery will get me everywhere?" He waggled his eyebrows.

"That's terrible. Probably true, but terrible." Rolling his eyes, Tristan opened the door and pushed Cam through it. "I'll talk to you later."

Cam kissed him once more, quick and hard, and left.

Tristan stood in the entryway for a few seconds after the door closed, his fingertips pressed to his lips. He could still feel Cam's mouth on his. He closed his eyes to savor the sensation.

Jeez. What am I, a teenager with my first crush? Rolling his eyes again, this time at his own behavior, he went to the kitchen to make some fresh coffee.

Once the coffee was brewing, he picked up the phone and dialed Claudia's office. She picked up on the second ring. "Claudia Greenberg."

"Claudia, it's Tristan."

Her voice warmed. "Hello, Tristan. How are you feeling?"

Great, after this morning. Tristan blushed, hoping Claudia couldn't read him over the phone. "I feel much better today. I'm going back to work tomorrow, which is part of what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Oh?"

Tristan took a deep breath.
