His One and Only

Drew smiled. “I know you work all the time. Why is that?”


“I have a stressful job. Law work requires a lot of hours.”


Drew tapped his foot on the table leg as the song played overhead. It was one of his favorite new songs. “Well, yeah, maybe it does, but what about Nathan and…um…the other one.”


“Yes. They’re partners in the firm with you, right?” At Mark’s nod, he continued, “No one speaks of them being workaholics.”


Mark snorted. “I’m not a workaholic.”


Drew smirked. “No? Seems like everyone says you are. You don’t have a boyfriend.”


“Neither do you. Or do you?” Mark’s eyebrows shot up.


He laughed. “No, I don’t. Had one a few years ago but he dumped me.”


“Is that so hard to believe?” he asked, amused. “You want to hear something scandalous?”


The other man raised only one of his an eyebrows this time. Sort of like Spock from Star Trek.Drew liked the way he did it. Sexy as hell. “Yes, go for it.”
