Chapter 4

“I can’t believe we didn’t eat all the steaks we bought,” Lincoln said to Sam as he took two steaks out of the cabin’s refrigerator.

“Well, Win’s a vegetarian and Rupert was off red meat.” Sam smiled. “That’s why there’s two left. When Collin picked them up, he just bought one for each of us. Anyway, don’t complain, it’s our good fortune.”

“No complaining, just surprise.”

Lincoln couldn’t help but feel like grinning. Sam had redressed in what he’d put on that morning, but he hadn’t bothered to comb his sandy-colored hair after their afternoon activities. They’d finally torn themselves away from those activities when they became hungry again.

“You’re smiling like a goofball,” Sam said, reaching into the cabinet for glasses. “Beer or wine?”

“Can’t help it. I feel great.”

“Good sex can do that for you. Beer or wine?”

“That wasn’t just good sex, buddy. That was amazing sex.”

“It was pretty good,” Sam said, nodding.

Lincoln rolled his eyes. “Wine. And don’t bowl me over with those compliments, Sam. Wouldn’t want them to go to my head.”

Sam took two red wineglasses out of the cabinet and set them on the counter. “Oh, please. You know you’re fantastic.”

He grinned. “Fantastic is better. You want baked or mashed with the steaks?”

“Baked is easier. You don’t have to peel them.” Sam moved to the wine bottles. They’d all gone nuts buying booze that first day, and though they’d drunk plenty, tons of bottles remained. It was like the guys had planned to be there a month instead of just a few days. “Cabernet, Pinot Noir, or Syrah?”

“Let’s go with the Pinot.” Lincoln peered at the bottles. “You’d think we went to Napa on a wine-tasting trip.”

“That should totally be our next guys’ trip.”

Lincoln leaned against the counter as he watched Sam open the bottle and pour some into each of the glasses. “Would you go?”

Sam handed him a glass. “Only if you’re a part of it.”

“I would be. Not sure I’d be able to keep my hands off you, though. That could be a problem. You know, if you didn’t want to continue. Or want the guys to know.”

“I don’t really care about them knowing. The timing of such a trip with everyone’s schedule, that might be harder.” Sam shrugged. “We could always go on our own and just make it an ‘us’ trip.”

Sam spoke casually, as though it was just two buddies taking a trip together, but it suddenly sounded like two guys taking a romantic wine-tasting trip together, and that seemed really significant. And while Lincoln would seriously love that, he sincerely doubted Sam was looking to make that sort of commitment. Or public statement.

“Yeah, we could,” Lincoln said, deciding to go with noncommittal.

Sam had left the kitchen to stand at the windows in the dining room that overlooked the parking lot. He seemed suddenly pensive, and Lincoln figured the talk of anything beyond the weekend snowed in here likely made Sam uncomfortable.

He took his wineglass to where Sam stood and linked one arm around his friend’s waist, leaning against his back, and looking out at the snow.
