“Sorry. I thought you knew I was out here.”
“I thought you came to check on me and then left again.”
“I like that you prefer my shirt. It tells me you missed me too. I’m not the only one,” Bennett said instead of answering.
“Of course you’re not,” Lucas whispered and rubbed his face against Bennett’s chest, trying to soak up as much of the man as he could while he was here. “Hey, how did you know which cabin was mine?”
“It smells like you,” Bennett said.
They were quiet for several minutes, comfortable being in each other’s presence.
“God, this is the most perfect spot in the entire world. Right here.” Lucas turned into Bennett’s chest, kissing him.
“You’re not mad that I’m here.”
“No. You’re right. It was stupid to leave you. All I really thought about was how much I missed you.” Lucas pulled away enough to meet Bennett’s gaze. “Want to come in?”
“Okay.”
Lucas picked at an imaginary speck on Bennett’s shirt as he contemplated how to say what he needed to without hurting Bennett’s feelings. He decided to say it straight out. “I don’t think I should work for you. It’s kinda weird, given the fact that I’m your mate.”
“You’re a big help around there, though.”
“I don’t know anything about boats.”
“Do you know the difference between a wrench and a screwdriver?”
Lucas gave him his best incredulous look. “Yes. I can fix my own car and shit like that. I just don’t know about boats.”
“You can fix a car?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “That is incredibly insulting. Yes, smart ass, I can fix a car.” Lucas reached over and pinched one of Bennett’s nipples through his T-shirt.
Bennett laughed and covered his chest with his hands. “I didn’t mean it like that. I meant that if you can fix a car engine than you can help with the boats more than you think. All engines are pretty similar.”
“Oh.”
Bennett smiled at him and even in the dark it was the sexiest thing Lucas had ever seen. “You gonna be my partner?”
“Aren’t I already?”
“In the business, baby.”
He leaned forward and kissed Bennett, unable to help himself. Bennett seemed a little surprised that Lucas initiated the kiss, but the man certainly didn’t complain. Lucas broke the kiss long enough to take Bennett’s lower lip between his own, sucking on it a little before letting it go.
“You taste good.”
“So do you, baby.”
Lucas kissed Bennett’s chin and then again on his jaw line. “I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.”
Bennett chuckled. “You’re making it better.” Lucas licked a path down his neck, sucking at the spot below his ear.
“We have to stop if you just want to sleep tonight.”
“Who said that? Maybe I want to make love and then sleep.” Lucas’ dick got hard thinking about Bennett’s hard length inside of him. He reached around for Bennett’s hand, picking it up and placing it on his cock, silently asking Bennett to touch him there.
Bennett didn’t disappoint. He wrapped his hand around Lucas’ cock through his sleep pants and underwear and jacked him off. The fabric of his clothing moved against him deliciously.
