Chapter Eight

Ryan glanced at the clock for the third time in fifteen minutes and wondered where in the hell Cliff was. Then he wondered what in the hell he was doing. Damn Tyler Hardin for putting ideas in his head anyway.

Moving to the kitchen, Ryan turned the oven down to warm, per Ty’s directions, assured even if nothing else about this night went as planned, at least the roasted chicken and potato casserole would come out right. The table was set, the sheets were clean, and the nightstands stocked with plenty of lube and even condoms if Cliff deemed them necessary. And…if everything went tits up, there was a whole season of Sons of Anarchy on Netflix to look forward to.

Just the thought of sinking into Cliff’s tight ass had Ryan’s cock filling. Jesus. It wasn’t like he hadn’t jacked off half a dozen times the last two days. Who knew there was so much free gay porn on the Internet?

The familiar growl of an engine drew his gaze to the window just as headlights flickered against the glass. Unease mingled with excitement as Ryan once again weighed his options. Grab Cliff by the shirtfront and kiss the shit out of him the minute he walked through the door…or dinner and talk, then kiss him? For someone trained to improvise under life or death circumstances, this dilemma was kicking his ass.

“Hey,” Cliff said, stepping through the door. Although his tone was casual, the tightness of his square jaw spoke volumes about his best friend’s level of tension. Hell, Cliff had probably spent the whole return trip from San Diego worrying how Ryan would greet him after the other night. If only he knew…

“Smells good in here. Did you cook dinner?” Cliff asked as he crossed to his bedroom door and tossed his overnight bag inside.

Deciding to go with the flow, Ryan nodded. “Sort of. Ty gave me a head start. All I had to do was stick it in the oven. He said you went to San Diego…” Awkward much?

Cliff looked down at him for a long moment, his steel gray eyes narrowed, the lines fanning away from his normal smiling expression. “Yeah…uh, Rhino? Are we okay? Did I fuck things up between us the other night?”

That was his Cliff—never met a problem he wouldn’t tackle head on. He smiled and stepped closer. “It didn’t mess anything up for me, Snides. How about for you? You left pretty quick yesterday morning…”

He placed a hand on Cliff’s heavily muscled forearm.

“Uh…yeah. I had a meeting set up with the new detective assigned to the case. We didn’t exactly get around to talking about that with the Super Bowl and—”

Ryan traced his fingers over Cliff’s bicep, the heated skin sending shots of electricity through his fingertips. “Go on…”

“I…uhm…” Cliff’s gaze lingered on Ryan’s fingers. “My uh…paperwork. Had to finish—Ryan?” Their gazes locked. Cliff’s eyes widened and his tongue skated over his lower lip.

Intentional or not, Ryan took the gesture as an invitation and closed the distance between them.
