“Does this town have a mayor?”

“Nah. There’s a county mayor. But you could probably have that job too if you asked for it.”

“Sounds like a lot of paperwork.”

“Mm.”

“But I could see some perks too.” Adam attacked him with one of his winks.

“Yeah?” Riley put a hand on Adam’s hip and guided him closer.

“I’d probably have to test the quality of the fried seafood pretty regularly,” Adam mused. “Y’know. As mayor.”

“Very important.”

“And I could create a new holiday where you just make out with a handsome shop owner all day.”

“Got your eye on Allan at the hardware store, do you?”

Adam laughed. “I could make you my deputy.”

“No thanks.”

“Special advisor?”

“Nope.” Riley kissed just under Adam’s jaw, which made Adam gasp.

“Come on,” Adam said shakily. “I need someone to tell me important stuff. Like what the name of the county is.”

Riley chuckled against Adam’s throat, then kissed a trail down to his shoulder.

Lucky wedged his way between their legs, tail knocking against Riley’s shin. “Go to bed, Lucky,” Riley said between kisses.

Lucky sighed heavily but obeyed.

“Maybe we should go to bed too,” Adam suggested. His pulse was racing against Riley’s lips, and his cock was straining against the front of his pants. Riley wanted to sink to his knees right here, but Lucky was making things weird.

“Yeah. Okay.”

Adam practically ran up the stairs, which made Riley laugh.

Riley took his time downstairs, watering a couple of plants and turning off lights. All he could think about all night was taking Adam to bed, but now that the moment was here, he was anxious. He didn’t even know why; they’d had sex twice in the past twenty-four hours, and both times had been incredible. Everything he’d ever wanted, really. And maybe that was the problem: when things were good, Riley’s guard went up.

He filled two water glasses and brought them upstairs with him. Adam was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing only a pair of black boxer briefs and palming the bulge of his erection.

“Oh,” Riley said.

Adam’s lips tilted into the sexiest smile Riley had ever seen. “Thought I was gonna have to do this myself.”

Riley set the water glasses on the dresser. “Nope.” He took his shirt off, then popped the button open on his jeans.

“Come here,” Adam said. He spread his legs wide, inviting Riley to step into them.

And yeah. Okay. Maybe this could be easy. Maybe Riley could let himself have this without overthinking it.

Adam greeted Riley by kissing his stomach, then again and again. Gentle kisses with electric little flicks of tongue that were making Riley crazy.

“God, you’re fucking sexy, Riles,” Adam said as he slowly pulled Riley’s zipper down. He kissed his cock through his underwear as he pushed Riley’s jeans down to his thighs. “You smell so good.” He began to mouth at Riley’s erection, his breath hot against the damp cotton. Riley tilted his head back and groaned.
