my boss is watching.”
    Chuckling, Alek sat behind the wheel and turned the key. The engine came to life right away. Getting back out of the vehicle, he went around to where Evan was hunched over, his toned arms flexed. Alek’s gaze slipped down the gentle curve of Evan’s back leading from strong, broad shoulders to where his spine dipped to his narrow, tapered waist and hips. He was all muscle, put on from hard work, not the gym, and he was gleaming with a slight sheen of sweat.
    “Damn, I bet you look fantastic naked,” Alek rasped, leaning against the truck.
    Evan pretended to ignore the comment, but Alek was pretty sure Evan was hunched over the engine for more than one reason. He glanced down at the bulge in Evan’s jeans and fought not to just start humping his ass right there like a dog in heat. “What are you doing here?”
    “I want to see you again. Soon.”
    Evan bit his lower lip. He wouldn’t look up at Alek’s face; wariness taking over, like Evan was suddenly in wildly unfamiliar territory. He leaned farther over, fiddling with things in the truck as they talked.
    Finally, Evan sighed, “How soon?”
    “When’s your lunch break?”
    Evan hesitated, so Alek pushed on, lowering his voice and letting all of his growing, dark, simmering lust seep into every word. “C’mon, Jailbait. I just wanna suck you...
everywhere
... and then, you know, we could go get coffee or a couple of steaks or something.”
    “I’m pretty sure the fucking comes
after
dinner on dates usually,” Evan retorted, swallowing thickly and shooting a sideways glance back to the building.
    “Not when you’re this hot,” Alek grinned, predatory and determined as a shark surging in for the kill. “Look, I’m not the kind of guy that messes around like this. I swear. Last night it was right after my shift and when I saw you, I had to go for it. But I’m here now because I want more than one night with you. I want to get to know you.”
    “No, you don’t. You’re just sticking around until I put out, then you’ll be gone.”
    “Try me. You got a
last
name, Evan? And how about that phone number?”
    Evan cursed under his breath and straightened. Alek got out of the way and Evan slammed the hood shut.
    “Okay, first off, you can’t come to my work like this. Ever.”
    “Okay,” Alek nodded. “I get it. You’re trying to pass. I still want to see you later.”
    Evan’s eyes slipped shut. Alek got the feeling like maybe if they weren’t being watched, or if he had parked around the corner instead of out front, it would be a whole different story—that Evan would open for him like a flower and the tough-guy act would disappear.
    “Goddamn you’re persistent. Fine. You know Cedar Mill Road? Out on Route 73? Follow it until the asphalt turns to gravel. I’ll meet you there. Five o’clock.”
    Alek smiled, his deep dimples perfectly framing his mouth.
    Evan cleared his throat, “I’ve gotta get back to work but, um, you got a last name, Alek?”
    “Popovic.” When Evan cocked an eyebrow at him, Alek explained, “It’s Russian. You?”
    Evan threw him a sly, sexy twist of a grin and turned back toward the garage, letting Alek stare at his ass as he walked away. “Savage.”
    “Evan
Savage
. How appropriate, since I’m pretty sure you’re gonna be the death of me.”
    Evan laughed, “Dude. That was
so
cheesy.” His jeans, loose and low, hung on the top swell of his ass. The muscle there shifted with every step and Alek was too hypnotized by the sight to think of a comeback. His retort turned into a low moan. He checked his watch once Evan was gone from sight, counting the hours until five.

Restless and Hopeless
    Brennan got through his morning routine just fine. He meditated for a full hour, trying to release some of the torrent of emotion and tension inside him. The weird blend of excitement and fear caused by the drastic shifts the course his life had taken left him feeling restless and
