Tethered Pair

Wars are fought on many fronts. A battle is raging across New Colorado Protectorate with both human and demonic players. Todd and Nick Ruger are sentries with an arsenal of talents and training to combat threats from a variety of enemies. Todd and Nick are given a mission to find and stop weapons smugglers by going undercover on the riverboat, Annabelle. These aren't typical arms dealers, they're demons and they're not afraid of a pair of sentries. The Rugers will have to use all their skills and their most powerful weapon, the bond between them, just to stay alive. Stopping the supply of illegal weapons turns to trying, and failing, to thwart an assassination. Todd and Nick have each other, but will they be able to keep their love intact?

Chapter 31

Twisting on the stool to face Leo, Nick ducked his head, brushed his hair back from his forehead in the way that made sure Todd was anything but flat as a pancake, and said in a soft, husky voice, “Thanks. He’s not so bad, not really. I just wish he’d notice me more. And that I’d get laid more than once every few years.”

“I know some people who will definitely take notice of a good-looking young man like you,” Leo said.

Nick tilted his head to one side. Leo wasn’t interested in him, or likely any man, no matter how hard he was trying to convince Nick otherwise. “I’m still not interested in anything but playing some billiards. Mr. McCabe may spend more time throwing cards than me, but that’s all he does. He never even looks at anyone else.” That was something Nick could say with complete honesty, though he doubted Leo had any special skills comparable to Nick’s.

Hopefully there was no one involved who could read minds.
