From The Night Gardener, an E.D. Parr WIP Dane meets spooky Zachary
“It’s way
too dark to garden. You’re wet through.” Dane’s gaze ranged over the sodden
sweater Zachary wore, and along the rain-darkened jeans covering Zachary’s
muscled thighs.
The guy has to be cold. “Can I offer you a cup of coffee?”
Zachary
grinned happily. “A cup of coffee, yeah, that will be great, thanks.”
Dane led the
way back into the kitchen. “Sit by one of the radiators and try to dry out a
little.” He put water to boil and heaped instant into mugs. “I can lend you a
dry sweater…”
Zachary
leaned close to the radiator. “It’s okay I’ll drape my sweater on here. It’ll
be dry in no time.” He pulled the soggy item over his head and arranged it on
the hot metal flutes.
Dane
experienced a shock of attraction as he took in the smooth, muscled chest on
display when Zachary turned to him.
“Look it’s
already steaming.”
Dane tore
his gaze from Zachary’s body and glanced at the sweater. The kettle boiled and
he whipped around to make the coffee, thankful for the diversion.
“Do you take
sugar or cream?”
Zachary’s
voice came from immediately behind him. “Black, thank you, no sugar.”
Dane closed
his eyes to dissipate the surprise Zachary’s silent approach gave him. He edged
around to face Zachary who stood so close, Dane’s composure flew clean away as
his whole body reacted to the proximity of this complete hunk.
Holy hell, he is completely gorgeous. Dane stepped sideways and picked up
a mug. He handed it to Zachary. “Coffee, er, sorry, its instant. I’ve given
myself a vacation from grounds and filters.” He smiled apologetically.
