Poe fought that urge.
Then, he lost the battle. He let his gaze drop, and maybe it was because he was staring at him, challenging him. He let it drop all the way down his body.
Oh, fuck.
Someone had a magnificent cock.
Holy shit.
Poe got even harder.
When his eyes went back up to his face, the masculine smile said it all.
He knew what he wanted.
HIM.
“See you in a minute,” he said, taking a step backward into the grotto and disappearing down into the depths of the water.
In fear, Poe scrambled to the side, and stared down into the crystal-clear water. It was dark in there, but he could see shadows in it.
He hoped it was Gamble, and not some water monster. This was Native land, and who knew what lurked here?
“Gamble?” he asked, knowing he couldn’t hear him, but needing him to.
Now, his heart began racing erratically.
When there was no sign of him, Poe began panicking.
How long could the man hold his breath?
Honestly, he was pretty sure that something bad had happened. That was the only possible excuse for why he didn’t surface.
When he saw a shadow coming up, he watched it, and the man surfaced. When he broke the water, he had a fish in his hand.
A big fish.
“Jesus. Christ. Where did you get that?” Poe asked, astounded.
Gamble smiled and handed it to Poe so he could climb out of the water.
“Don’t drop him back in. That’s lunch,” he admitted. “We need fuel.”
He gawked when the man handed him the fish.
“There’s a school of fish down there. This is salt water. So definitely don’t drink it. The water coming down through the rocks is fresh water.”
He backed up, and Gamble pushed himself out of the grotto and onto the side. When he walked toward Poe, the man blinked.
There was a hot, naked, wet man in the room, and Poe knew he was so screwed. The water ran off of him, and he looked so goddamn delicious.
Poe was only human, and this up close and personal look at the man in all of his glory…
God.
What he wanted was that one moment to remember for the rest of his life before Gamble was released and they never saw each other again.
Because he was so damn confused.
