Chapter 38

“There’s also a backyard,” Kevan told him. “Not that you can see much of it in the dark.”

“I’ll check it out in the morning,” Craig replied with a bit of a grin, bringing them back to why they were there to begin with.

“There you go. You cook; I’ll see what’s out there besides dirt.”

Craig had started unbuttoning his shirt as they talked. Kevan stopped him, but only so he could finish the job, sliding it off Craig’s shoulders when he’d finished. “Not bad.” He ran one hand over Craig’s bicep. “Lifting books all day seems to have done wonders for your muscles.”

“It helps,” Craig agree, flexing his arm. “Let’s see yours.”

He didn’t have long to wait. Kevan got his shirt off in record time, dropping it on the sofa before striking a bodybuilder pose.
