sliding his tongue along Drew’s. They kissed hungrily, their mouths eating at each other for long moments before lethargy overcame them and they began nuzzling each other.
    Drew moved them through the bedroom doorway and slowly walked over to the bed. He turned and fell backward onto the king that took up the center of the far wall, Ridge coming down on top of him. They lay together without speaking, their breathing slowing down. Ridge nestled his head in the pocket of Drew’s shoulder and closed his eyes.
    Drew felt Ridge’s body relax into sleep as he rubbed the muscled back, his hand drifting down inside the loose jeans to caress the soft skin of Ridge’s ass. He sighed deeply as his eyes closed; his hand kept hold of Ridge as he, too, fell asleep.

    Sex on television can’t hurt you, unless you fall off.

    The sound of barking woke Ridge an hour later. His eyes opened, and he stared for a moment at the jersey cloth an inch from his nose, his lids blinking as he tried to focus. His body shifted a little and his legs complained, thigh muscles tight from lying spread open over Drew while the men slept.
    He eased away and sat up, his hand running down Drew’s chest. He ventured under Drew’s T-shirt, liking the feel of the wiry body hair. His fingers moved upward, taking the shirt with them as he ran his thumb across one of Drew’s nipples. With a little smile on his face, he watched the tender bit harden, then pressed against it. Watching it tighten further, he bent down to capture it with his teeth.
    Drew’s breath hissed out as Ridge nibbled and sucked on the salty morsel.
    “Mmm-hmm.” Ridge transferred his attention to the other nipple, his hand following to continue to play with the first nipple. He nuzzled against the little bits. He hummed softly at Drew’s flavor as he licked his way back to the first nipple.
    A gravelly voice interrupted his play. “Hey, before you really get going, why don’t I run to that store I saw down the road and get us some rubbers? I’m thinking this is going to get good really fast.”
    Belly clenching in excitement and fear, Ridge rumbled softly as Drew pushed up to a sitting position. Gnawing on his lip, his eyes darting around, he considered what he was doing. Was he really ready to move it up a notch?
    Drew leaned over, and Ridge’s lower lip was sucked into his mouth, sharp teeth nibbling gently. “Hang on to that thought. Besides, I think the dogs want to come in.”
    Ridge watched as Drew shoved himself to his feet, gingerly setting his cock back into his jeans and buttoning up.
    “I’ll let them in, and be back in a few minutes.” Drew eyed him before heading into the bathroom.
    Exhaling deeply, Ridge tried to quell the nerves making his stomach tighten. Pushing his hair back with a shaky hand, he uttered a half-laugh as he set his feet on the floor and stood upright. “Oh, boy.”
    As Drew walked out of the bathroom, Ridge was treated to a heated glance that blazed up and down his body. Despite his trepidation, he shivered in response, helpless not to react to that lustful stare.

    Drew chuckled as he spotted the two shepherds sitting on the landing outside, staring up into the door glass. He opened the door. “Come on inside, you two.”
    The two dogs happily bounded inside. It was amazing how easily the two canines had meshed. Now, Elsa stuck like glue to Henry as the male headed directly for the food bowl. Shaking his head in bemusement, Drew grinned as he stepped through the door. When he looked back, the dogs were standing side by side, happily crunching away.
    Downstairs, he rounded the front of the inn, heading to where his truck was parked. As he neared the main entrance, movement inside the sunroom caught his eye. He spotted Rae looking at him through the picture window. As he strode toward the Navigator, she came out the door and walked down the steps. Raising her hand, she waved him over.
    Cursing slightly under his
