CHAPTER 4

I’ve got the hots for a dead man. I crave dead people! I had lunch…well, no. I didn’t eat, but I was with him. I talked to him. A dead guy!

It couldn’t be. There had to be some mistake. They had to be talking about two different people. Besides, Rylan didn’t believe in…ghosts.

Holy cow. The hotel ghost. It had to be a joke. His cell phone rang. He checked the readout. A text message from Harley.

Cursing, he stumbled to Harley’s room, expecting to find his client full of fury and bluster. Instead, Harley stood, smiling in his 50

black boxer briefs, opening the door to him. Harley didn’t have a bad body. He was slim, his ass and cock quite attractive in his clinging briefs. He wasn’t buff and toned like most of the guys Rylan dated, but he wasn’t bad looking at all. Rylan wished he could love Harley. Life would be so much simpler if his head could rule his heart. As his mother had told him repeatedly growing up, Rylan’s head and heart were one. Even on his palm, his heart and headlines were entwined.

“It will be the death of you,” she’d said. She thought he would grow up to be a hot head, and she wasn’t wrong. When his father died when Rylan was fifteen, grief and rage propelled him to get into street fights. Constantly. He had always been a big kid but not a tough one, so he frequently went home bruised and bloodied.

She’d taken him to the local gym in Echo Park, right on the edge of the fabled lake in Los Angeles. He began to train as a boxer. He’d loved the sport but lacked the killer instinct. He was a lover, not a fighter. He’d developed skills and confidence, which carried him through his late teens and early twenties. He could defend himself now, but had mastered his temper enough to stay out of street fights.

He had the Athens Olympics in his sights and seemed destined to win the gold medal in his division after some amazing victories in his amateur bouts. And then three bad things occurred, converging at the worst possible time in his life. His mom died suddenly in her sleep, right before Rylan competed at the Olympic trials. He’d been the one to find her. Losing her had wrecked his focus…and all his dreams. He lost her and his hopes of a medal.

Capping off his bad run was Gino, a handsome rogue of a guy who crushed him by stealing from him and running out on him. Rylan had not let another man get close to him since then.

“I ordered some of that chocolate grappa you like so much,”

Harley said, breaking into Rylan’s mental meanderings into his sad past. “I asked them to find a bottle. They had two flown in from Italy.”

Rylan shook his head, speechless at how much trouble Harley had gone to, just for him.

“Wow, Harley,” he finally managed.
