and drew a conclusion that wasn’t fair.” Puffs of clouds swirled in front of Grey’s face, proving just how hot the man was inside, when matched against the frigid air outside “But you have to understand I came up to my cabin to get away from everybody and everything, and found an almost naked man in my living room. Within less than twenty-four hours, I find out he’s gay too.
    I wouldn’t put it past my sister to think it very clever to set me up in the same way I helped John do with her. If you really do know her as well as you say you do then you know that’s true.”
    Sirus thought about tattooed, pink-haired, fireball Kelsie, and chuckled. “Yeah, I suppose you would think that.”
    Rocking back on the heels of thick-soled boots, Grey’s gaze drifted to the right, to across the lake. “Pair that with the fact that you were gone this morning when I woke up, and didn’t return once all day, and I wasn’t sure what to think. I came here to apologize for running you off, only to find you do have some water running, and I began to question—”
    “Wait.” Sirus reached out and touched Grey’s forearm, drawing the man’s attention back to the two of them. “Run me off?” His brow furrowed. “What are you talking about?
    I probably lost track of time, but I really don’t have water. I was—am—coming back.”
    Grey pointed in the direction of his cabin, confusion mapping his face. “But there’s nothing of yours left at my place.”
    “Yeah, I know.” Sirus bit his cheek, determined not to laugh. He somehow didn’t think Greyson Cole had a very big sense of humor about himself or liked to admit he had jumped to very wrong conclusions—so very quickly. He seemed more well thought out than that. “I’ve been at your place for three days already. I brought my dirty stuff home and traded it for clean. My shaving kit is still there.”
    “I guess I didn’t see that.” Shifting his stance again, Grey took his hands out of his pockets, crossed his arms against his chest, and looked Sirus straight in the eyes. “Look, I figured when you saw me watching you jerk off, and then were gone all day, that I’d freaked you out and you ran. I came here with the intent to apologize, but then you so casually knew I hadn’t taken a vacation in a long time, and you had the water in the shed, and my plan went to shit. So I apologize for that too, on top of pulling my dick out while watching you masturbate. That was what I really came over here to say. When I heard you this morning and saw your door wasn’t entirely closed, I should have just walked away.”
    Sirus wasn’t so sure he wished the same. He had gotten ten times harder this morning when he realized he had an audience. That Grey was his audience. “I wondered if you would admit you got off watching me, or would act like it never happened.”
    “Hey,” Grey dropped his arms and moved in on Sirus again, “I know I’m an asshole sometimes, but I’m not a liar. I came here wanting to make my behavior right, and to tell you that you can use the extra bedroom for as long as you need it. Anything beyond that, and I’m not interested. You might have one fucking insane body,” Grey leaned in and inhaled, but abruptly stepped back, “but I am not in the market for a partner. Not right now. Not ever. I just want to make that clear.”
    Sirus conjured the crushing pain that consumed him at the end of his relationship with Paul, and thought about the permanent evidence inked into his chest he still bore as a result of his blindness. The hard-on threatening to emerge right this moment disappeared. “Then we’re on the same page.” Fuck, why couldn’t he be one of those one-night-stand kind of guys? “That makes everything a whole lot easier.”
    “Excellent.” Grey pursed his lips and nodded. “Then I’ll see you back at the cabin in a bit.” He looked up at the sky as he started back-walking toward the lake. “It’s getting dark fast. Feels
