 With you? Shawn s eyes seemed to be stuck on the  wide setting.
 Yeah, I need you to help me find the perpetrator. He could be just as stubborn.
 But& but my boss won t like that! Shawn looked horrified.  She ll kill me.
 I m sure she won t. He grinned.  She ll see things my way when she realises she can
either let you help me or have her ass sued off before she can say boo.
 You would do that? Shawn s eyes shone with hope.

 In a heartbeat. These people hadn t seen him in action yet.

Gerald groaned as he closed the accountant s report Shawn had given him. It was
extremely extensive and very damning. There was more than enough material inside to hang
him several times over.
 You okay? Shawn returned from his tiny kitchen with coffee refills for both of them in
his hands. Thank God they had finally stopped shaking.
Going to Shawn s place a first had been necessary since that s where the report was.
But Gerald missed his own four walls, the comfort of a little luxury. Shawn s apartment was
clean, but small and extremely basic in its furnishings. Books everywhere in the living
room he hadn t seen the bedroom yet was the most distinctive feature. God, listen to me.
Am I turning into a snob or what?
 Gerald? Shawn s little frown between his eyes was a dead giveaway, as he placed the
mugs on the dining table between them.  What do you think?
 I think whoever is behind this is damned clever. They ve not only covered their tracks
really well, but they ve managed to make it look like I m behind it. He took a sip of the
scalding hot liquid and sighed. Better! It had been late when they d left the restaurant, and it
hadn t been getting earlier while he d worked his way through the report. Several pages of
notes attested to the fact that he d been paying very close attention.
 I know! Gerald put his mug back on the table without taking a sip.  Had me totally
fooled at first.
 What made you change your mind? He certainly hadn t seen anything that had made
him doubt what was there. Not on this first read-through, at least.
 It was a sixth sense&  Shawn s eyes defocused as he looked somewhere off into the
distance before his gaze retuned to Gerald.  And it was all too perfect, too neat.
 Too perfect? He almost choked on his coffee.
 Yeah, you know, it all fit just right no loose ends, no forgotten details. You only
really get that with a cover-up job. Shawn shrugged as he took a sip from his coffee.
 You do, huh? He grinned.  And you know this because&

 I ve seen a few attempted cover-up jobs in my time. Shawn dropped his gaze.  You
get to see a lot when you work for a tabloid.
 Hey, look at me. Gerald wasn t going to let Shawn beat himself up.
 What? Shawn glanced at him, fear of rejection written all over his face.
 Don t blame yourself, okay? It was good experience, in a way, and you ve put it
behind you. You re working for a decent newspaper now, so don t let anyone get you
down. He watched Shawn until the man nodded, a small smile appearing on his face.
 Okay, better.
 Do you really mean that? Shawn seemed so hopeful.
 Absolutely. He nodded for emphasis and took Shawn s hand in his.  That s
something you may have noticed about me already, and, if not, you ll learn it over the next
few years. I never say anything I don t mean.
 The& the next few years? Shawn s eyes were back to the  wide setting.
 I d like to give us a go, Shawn. Gerald smiled.  I ve liked you from the very first
meeting. Hell, I started liking you in high school. And now that I know you re not holding
back from me anymore, and have seen what kind of man you are underneath it all, I d like to
get to know you a hell of a lot better. And I imagine it will take a few years to discover the
rest of you.
 If not longer. Shawn s eyes turned misty and he blinked a few times until he had
himself under control again.  Yes, please.
Gerald felt an undeniable tightness in his groin area. He pulled Shawn up as he rose
and embraced him, moving their bodies close enough so they touched in all the right places.
Shawn was as excited as he, and his lips were parted as if in invitation for a kiss. Who was he
to try to resist?
He bent his head and slanted his lips across Shawn s. The heat and flavour of the man
hit him in the best way and made him dizzy with lust. Their tongues met and danced around
each other, stroking and caressing in an effort to get to know each and every area in the
other s mouth. He gripped Shawn more tightly, sliding a hand down to his ass so he could
push their groins even closer together. Soon, their whole bodies hands and all were
involved in the kiss. Only when he felt as if he was about to faint due to lack of oxygen did
he finally manage to pull back.

 I want to make love to you. His voice sounded a lot deeper than usual, almost
gravelly. They still hadn t fucked, but he felt it was time now.
 Please. Shawn pulled back, took his hand and started walking towards the hallway. A
sudden stop made him almost run into his lover.
 What? He hoped the holdup wasn t because Shawn had suddenly remembered a lack
of supplies or some other obstacle that would stop them.
Shawn turned around.
 What about the report and everything? Shawn looked at the table where they d left it
and his notes.
 We ll deal with that in the morning. He already had a few ideas of where to start,
and, anyway, there was nothing they could do about it in the middle of the night.
 If you re sure? Shawn threw a longing glance towards the bedroom.  I m stupid to [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
