Chapter Nine

Thayne and Jarrett cleaned up in the hotel’s shower when they got back, washing the coal dust out of their hair and off their bodies. The gray dirt washed down the drain, swirling black as it made its way into the pipes until the tile beneath their feet had no more grit. Thayne couldn’t imagine how much worse it would have been if he’d spent a day working down in the mine, not only inspecting it. He’d felt it in every pore and grinding between his teeth when they’d stopped for food before going back to the hotel. Coal mining was a dirty business and he thanked God that he wasn’t born in West Virginia where mining was such a large industry. Under other circumstances, he might have been forced to choose that life; now having seen what the job entailed, he could much better understand why Jarrett had joined the Marine Corps even at the beginning of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He’d clearly known he might have to fight when he’d enlisted, and now Thayne thought he understood a little more why Jarrett had taken that risk.

They’d fallen into bed and taken out their emotions on each other by making love with mutual blowjobs after their shower. Thayne could almost feel something had changed between them since their trip down into the mine. Jarrett had been more open to him, more vocal with him in bed, calling him ‘darlin’’ which always made Thayne’s toes curl. He loved the term of endearment whenever Jarrett said it and Thayne noticed he was using it more and more. He’d decided when the time was right, maybe after this assignment, he was going to come clean with Jarrett and tell him how he felt. He wanted to wait until the time was right but when was the time right to tell another man you were in love with him? Thayne had never been in love before so finding a way to do it seemed like some puzzle to solve. He knew that if he waited for Jarrett to say it, they’d probably be old men before it ever happened.

Other than when they drove and held hands, the only time Jarrett seemed to open up to him emotionally was when they were in that post-coital buzz that happened when they’d thoroughly fucked themselves out and were trying to recover from mind-blowing orgasms. Telling him then just didn’t seem right to Thayne and his more logical mind told him he should do it when they were both fully clothed so Jarrett would take him seriously. But every time Jarrett threw him one of his sexy half smiles or a teasing smirk, it made Thayne want to grab him, throw him down, kiss him, and tell him just how much he loved him.

The clown in Jarrett came out when he felt uncomfortable with people. He just preferred to be a comedian with strangers and for the most part, it worked. Thayne was always
