Excerpt
Noah smiled to himself as he watched
Rowe drive them home. His hands slid easily along the leather wheel. Soon those
strong hands would be stroking down his body. The way the man kept looking at
him during the wedding had him half-hard all evening. He knew it was the
wedding—all the romance in the air.
Rowe drive them home. His hands slid easily along the leather wheel. Soon those
strong hands would be stroking down his body. The way the man kept looking at
him during the wedding had him half-hard all evening. He knew it was the
wedding—all the romance in the air.
A lingering worry had nipped at him
earlier in the day that Ian’s wedding would bring back painful memories of
Rowe’s own wedding, but he seemed fine and Noah couldn’t be more thankful.

So, he watched those hands. Being
touched by Rowe was like nothing else in this world. The man worshiped his body
with an all-in intensity that frankly awed Noah. And he knew that wouldn’t
change, no matter how long they were together. He took in his dark-red hair,
lit by moonlight, disheveled as usual, and his ripped shoulders and arms. The
man filled out a suit well, but he couldn’t wait to peel him out of it.

“Keep staring at me like that, and I’ll
be finding a secluded spot to pull over,” Rowe murmured, giving him a steamy
look.

“That’d be fine with me. Did I tell you
how hot you are today? You should wear suits more often.”

Rowe pulled to a stop at a red light and

yourself. Come here.”

Noah leaned over to kiss him. Brakes
squealed sharply. Noah jerked his lips away from Rowe’s before they could
touch. A car had pulled up, perpendicular to theirs, in the middle of the
intersection. A loud bang quickly followed and the ping of glass breaking.
Startled, he looked at the windshield to find a small hole in it.

“Shit, get down!” Rowe grabbed him and
shoved him into the seat, covering him with his body just as another shot broke
through the windshield.

“Someone is fucking shooting at us!”
Rowe stretched over him to reach the glove box where he kept his gun. He yanked
it out but stayed down. “Are you hurt?”

Noah couldn’t believe the man covered him,
but that was Rowe. “No, I’m fine. You?”

“I’m good.”
Tires squealed again and the roar of the
car engine grew softer. A knock on the driver’s window had them both jerking
upright. Rowe aimed the gun in that direction, ready to put two in whoever was
stupid enough to be standing there. Noah rose, ready to jump out of their truck
and attack.

The woman outside screamed and ducked
away from the window. “I was just making sure you were all right!” she yelled,
and Rowe immediately lowered his gun. “The person shooting drove off, but I got
a good look at the car. I’m beside you at the stoplight. The driver just pulled
right into the intersection and someone shot out of the front passenger window.
Is everyone okay? I called 9-1-1.”

Noah looked out the windshield to find
the first hole directly in front of him. He turned and found a matching bullet
hole in the seat. It would have pierced his heart. Whoever shot at them had one
hell of an aim. Or at least, they would have if Noah hadn’t leaned over to kiss
Rowe at that moment. <em>Holy fuck</em>, <em>that was
close!</em>

His stomach was in knots as he met his

Rowe rolled down his window, apologizing

“Did you see anyone in the car? Could
you tell if either person was a man or woman?”

Sirens sounded in the distance, getting
steadily closer. Rowe put his gun back into the glovebox and they both got out
of the truck to look at the damage. Two police cars arrived with a roar of
engines. The first cop opened his door and stood with his gun at the ready.

“The shooter drove away,” the woman
yelled. She was certainly helpful and brave to have gotten out of her car at
all. Her red Honda was still parked at the light beside them with several more
cars stalled there as well. None of those people had gotten out of their
vehicles, but now they did as the police gathered.

Rowe and Noah answered questions but
because they’d ducked, they had less to offer by way of explanation than the
woman who’d witnessed the whole thing.

“Was more than likely a drive-by,” one
of the cops said as he made a few notes in his little notepad. “We’ve had a few
of them recently. I’m glad nobody was hurt this time. The others weren’t so
lucky.”
