Chapter 66

“Damned hungry,” said Duke making a move to join Rob. “What can I do?”

“You stay right where you are.” Rob went to the fridge and got out a large pot. “Made this beef and veggie broth yesterday. Should be tastier now it’s had time to sit.” He lit the stove and put the broth on to heat. “Got some nice bread from town this afternoon. And I think…” He returned to the fridge and opened the door. “…that there’s still some apple pie left over. You like it with cream or ice cream?”

Duke smiled, his moustache hiding his top lip. “Cream,” he replied with a twinkle in his brown eyes.

Rob’s cock twitched. “Cream, huh? Then cream it is.”

He turned the oven down low and put the pie dish on the middle rack. “That should be nice and hot by the time we’ve finished our broth. I’ll just get the bread. Toast it a little.”

Duke walked around behind the counter. “I want to do something,” he said. “I feel kind of useless over there watching you do everything.”
