Chapter Ten

RALPH GLANCED at his watch and headed back to the house. It was nearly eleven and still no Brett. He was trying to be nice because the man had had a bad night, but this was not how he wanted things to progress at all.

He went in through the kitchen because he was feeling grumpy about the wasted morning and figured his man could help find him a better mood.

“Jean?” he called as he went in.

“Oui, chou?” Jean was whistling happily, making lunches, Benj working alongside him.

“Hey, babe. Oh, hi, Benj. Where’s that man of yours?”

Benj smiled at him. “The pool or the shower, I think. He was going to do laps and then get clean.”

Ralph grunted. “Okay.” Well, it might not have been coming down to see him, but he could hardly fault the man for actually following some of his advice. “Is he better?”

“I think so. I think so a lot, actually.” Benj was beaming, bouncing.

Ralph chuckled. “Well, all right, then. I do believe that was part of the prescription.” He gave Benj a wink. The guy was really a sweetheart.

Jean grinned. “Someone got himself laid.”

“I can see that.”

Benj’s blush was sweet.

“You two leave him alone.” Brett came in, towel around his waist. “I’m going to hit the shower. How long before food?”

“We were just teasing him, man. He looks happy.” Ralph thought Brett looked pretty good too.

“Yeah.” Brett winked. “Food?”

Jean nodded. “Ten minutes.”

“Got it.” Brett sauntered off, Benj’s gaze trained on his towel-covered ass.

“He’s a good-looking man.” Ralph grinned as his words had Benj blushing some more. He was clearly proud too, however.

“He is.”

“You could go clean up too, cher.” Jean’s eyes twinkled. “For lunch.”

Benj’s breath hitched, and he tugged off his apron. “How long do we have again?”

“Twenty minutes.” At his startled look, Jean’s smile widened. “What? Ten is not long enough.”

Benj’s color rose, but his smile was beautiful. “Thank you, Jean. We’ll be down in time.”

Ralph watched him leave and came over to swat Jean’s ass. “You’re incorrigible.”

His Cajun snorted, offered him a smile. “Chou, you said they needed to. Help me chop.”

“And they do. They both look much healthier—happier—this morning, don’t they?”

He went over and stood behind Jean, pressing up against the lean body. “What is it you need help with?”

“The berries and pineapple.” Jean leaned back against Ralph and popped a bite of banana between his lips.

“Mmm….” He munched on the banana and rubbed against Jean’s back. “Are you sure that’s what you want help with?”

“Mmm. Oui. Perv. We’re cooking.” Jean whacked his leg.

“Ow!” He pouted and stepped over to work beside Jean. “Sometimes that means something else, you know.”

“What?” Jean started working.

“We’re cooking?” Ralph bumped hips with Jean and waggled his eyebrows. “It can mean doing things without clothes.”

“Oh ho. It can?”

“Yeah, it can.” Ralph started cutting up the pineapple.

“I think we should grill chicken tonight. Something light but protein-y. With a big salad.”

“Does that mean you want me to fire up the grill, babe?” He loved grilling meat and then teasing Jean that he’d made the meal.
