CHAPTER 7

“It’s time to wake up.”

Magpie grumbled as someone shook him. He blinked, slowly

coming awake, to find James crouched next to him.

“Didn’t we just go to sleep?” he muttered as he sat up.

“I’m sure it feels that way. How are you doing?” James

straightened to his full height and held out a hand for Magpie.

He let James pull him to his feet, wincing at a few sore spots as

he stretched. “I’m fine.”

“Good because we have to go.”

Watching James pack up the black duffle bag he’d returned

with last night, Magpie worked on waking up and dressing. Getting

up early in the morning wasn’t his strong suit. It usually took him

an hour or so and several cups of coffee to start processing things

at normal speed.

“Where are we going? I didn’t know we had an appointment

today.” He shoved his hand through his hair. “Is there anywhere

we can get a cup of coffee around here?”

James shot a look at him over his shoulder as the big man left

the room. “You’re joking, right?”

“No.” Magpie tugged his shirt down and frowned. “Why am I

getting the feeling that there isn’t any coffee to be had?”

“You’re in Freak Town, Magpie. Coffee’s a luxury no one can

afford here.”

“But, man, I’m addicted to caffeine. If I don’t get my fix, I start

to shake and I get cranky.” Shit, his hands were twitching already.

“Guess you’ll have to go cold-turkey until we get back on the

other side of the wall.” James hesitated in the doorway, checking

both ways before stepping out onto the sidewalk.

“We’re going back to the other side of the wall?” His ears

perked up hearing that.

“Yes.” James reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him

along behind him. “Keep up, Magpie. Maybe where we’re going

has coffee.”

“God, I hope so.” He hid his smile when he heard James’

annoyed grunt. He let James drag him along. “Where are we

going?”

“To see someone.”

“Who?”

“Someone who can help us.”

Whirling suddenly, James pushed him into a doorway, covering

Magpie’s body with his own.

“Oomph! What’s that for?”

Before he could say anything else, James lowered his head and

kissed him. Any connection between his tongue and brain shortcircuited the instant James’ lips landed on his. He fisted his hands

in the front of James’ shirt and tried to climb inside the man. James

pinned him so hard against the door behind him that he swore he

could feel the grain of the wood imprinting on his skin.

“Oh.” He breathed into James’ mouth, wrapping his leg around

James’ thigh and wishing he could scale him to encircle his lover’s

waist with his legs. They rocked together, drawing a whimper from

Magpie as he felt the hard length of James’ erection rub over his.

He forgot where they were and what kind of danger existed

until James gripped his hips and stepped away from him. Blinking,

Magpie stared up at James, noticing the other man wasn’t looking

at him.

“What was that?”

“It was the best way to keep anyone from noticing that you

don’t really belong here.” James moved down the street,

continuing to drag Magpie with him.

Magpie’s feet weren’t really working and he hoped the blood

pooled in his groin from the kiss would begin to circulate again.
