Chapter 21

I didn’t give in,he thinks, pushing himself up off the couch. His face feels hot where he’s slept against the rough upholstery. I wish I did but I didn’t get anything except a bad case of blue balls last night. That’s why I’m still hard and I’ll probably come just hearing his voice again.

“So?” Mike asks, interrupting his thoughts.

“So what?” Adam rubs his hands over his head as if to smooth down hair he no longer has. He settles for mussing the blue curls at the front, tugging on them hard enough to make his eyes tear up, and avoids answering Mike’s obvious question.

With a dramatic sigh, Mike spells it out. “So are you going to call him today or what?”

“Yeah, I’ll call.” Adam grimaces at the stale taste of alcohol still lingering in his mouth. “Give me a minute to wake up, will you?”

Mike laughs and tosses Adam the cordless handset from his phone. “Call him first. You can wake up afteryou get us a contract.”
