What don t you know about us? Quinn asked.
It s difficult for me. Everyone I ve ever loved has walked away
from me.
I won t walk away from you.
Voices carried close to the room, causing Colin to move away.
Quinn cleared his throat. I need to hit the showers, babe. Don t
shut me out. We can talk about this later.
There was heat in Quinn s voice that hit Colin hard in the heart.
When do you get off of work?
Eight tomorrow morning. I ll swing by your place on my way
home. I want you to be there.
The command was one of an alpha marking his territory. Colin
felt a shiver of desire spin through his body.
We ll talk then.
High Heat 117
Chapter Seventeen
Colin baked when he was nervous. He swung by the grocery on
his way home from work and stocked up his kitchen. He made two
cherry pies and three apple streusels. He was about to start on hand
dipped truffles when he realized he had to do something else to
occupy his time. The counter was getting crowded.
The morning ticked by at a crawl as he waited for Quinn to arrive.
There were only so many stations on the television. It was nearly ten
in the morning when he heard Quinn s truck pull into the driveway. A
call must have kept him out later. Colin turned off the television and
tossed the remote across the couch. He jumped up and over the back
of the couch to catch the door before Quinn knocked. He opened the
door as Quinn was coming down the driveway. A shiver of heat spun
through Colin s body as he watched Quinn s long strides eat away the
pavement.
Hey, said Colin.
Hey, babe.
Quinn came in close, taking ownership of his lips. Colin melted
into Quinn s strong arms as Quinn walked him backward into the
house. The door was kicked closed by Quinn, and he turned Colin up
against the doors. They kissed until they were both breathing hard and
Colin s cock was beating like a bass drum.
Quinn broke away. I ve been waiting for five weeks to do that to
you.
Me, too, Colin took a deep breath as he let his hands find
Quinn s. We need to talk.
Quinn pulled Colin by the hands into the living room. About?

Us.
I m listening, babe.
Colin gave Quinn s hands a firm squeeze before letting go. He
paced away then back in close. I m ready to settle down with you,
and I want you to move in with me.
Are you trying to ask me something? Quinn asked.
Colin paced again. He didn t know how to tell the man he loved
that he loved him other than to just say it. I want you. I can t imagine
living my life without you. I m sorry I stayed away so long, Colin
said. I just needed time.
You don t need to explain. I know you needed space to see what
we had together.
It was true. Quinn knew him so well. Colin was a man that needed
time to figure things out before he moved forward. Now, he could
move on with his life with the man he loved. If Quinn was willing to
have him back.
You know me like no other person in the world, Colin
whispered. I love you, Quinn. I love you. You re everything I ever
wanted and thought I could never have.
I love you, Colin. I always have and always will.
Quinn came in close, wrapping his arms around Colin s waist.
What is it you want of me, Colin?
I want you to be mine. Forever.
Done. Now what? Quinn grinned.
Tears rushed to Colin s eyes. Oh, Quinn.
I love you and you re mine. I want everything with you. I want
the life we re meant to have together, Quinn said.
Colin ran his hands through Quinn s hair. I do, too.
Their lips met in the middle. They kissed passionately, holding
nothing back for what they felt for each other. Colin never imagined
that his true and only love would come back to him. He never
imagined that his Quinn would take him back after hurting him so
badly. Now that he had Quinn back in his arms, he wasn t about to let

him go. Their hands laced together and dropped down to their sides.
He wanted to be loved by Quinn for the rest of his life.
I want you to move in with me, Colin said.
Quinn hugged him tightly. Yes, I ll move in with you. My lease
is up in a week.
I was so afraid you d say no. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
