Only in His Dreams

“I’m the lucky one. You’re really terrific. I’ve been attracted to you since you first walked into the office for your interview.”


“Oh, yeah. But like you said, you were an employee. And you were so damn shy sometimes. I’d try to get you to talk to me and you’d freeze up.”


“When was that?” Darrell asked, bemused.


“All the time. At the coffee maker, in the hallway. Remember the Fourth of July potluck? I tried to talk to you, but you ended up in the corner of the room talking to Mary.”


“I’ve never been good at talking to hot guys.” Darrell felt his cheeks warm. Hell, he was embarrassed even now. Stupid.“I used to think me being with someone like you would be only in my dreams.”


“I guess we’re both kind of crazy,” Travis said with a laugh. He rubbed his thumb over Darrell’s bottom lip, giving him goose bumps. He rose up on his knees and pulled Darrell’s mouth down to his for a deep, sensual kiss.
