Chapter 6

“What an accurate way of putting it,” Daniel said as he turned the hand under Clark’s to clasp it and then let go. “And I’m afraid that those thoughts lead me home. May I please have my bill?”

“Of course,” Clark said immediately, not so enamored that he forgot Daniel was a paying customer. “Be right back.”

Clark turned, and his face darkened into a frown. Daniel surely had a boyfriend or partner or some such. For crying out loud, he man was smart, witty, and nothing short of beautiful, though Clark would hesitate to tell Daniel that last. Being involved was probably the reason for the gentle refusal. Had to be. And despite the fact that Clark’s bedpost had enough notches to appear attacked by rabid beavers, he didn’t condone cheating.

But, damn it, something really bothered Clark about this guy.

“Shit,” Heather said as she came out of the door just as Clark tried to go in. “Sorry, Clark.”

“S’okay,” Clark said.
