As they pulled away from the curb, Wade laid his arm across the back of the seat. He wasn’t touching Charlie, but Charlie was acutely aware the bare arm was there, right behind him. As they made the turn out of the pick-up area the centrifugal force of the turn seemed to cause Wade’s leg to come in contact with Charlie’s. Wade made no attempt to move it.
Charlie felt a tightening in his groin. Here he was, sitting next to a real life cowboy who almost had his arm around him and a muscular leg pressed against his own. Mack’s comments the length of the trip were quite welcome under these conditions as Charlie felt as though the drive could take forever and he wouldn't mind in the least.
