Chapter 76

“You ready to go home yet?”

“But the appointment isn’t until this evening, I could stay—”

“It’s all arranged.” Paul stood up. “You’re hardly going to be able to concentrate on work, are you?”

Trevor didn’t respond.

“And before you even say it, no you’re not going home on the bus by yourself. I’m taking you home and staying with you.”

“Thanks.”

He had to be strong, because there was no one he could lean on, he had to do it all himself. He wasn’t comfortable about leaning on Paul. The guy was kind, considerate, not to mention drop dead gorgeous. Trevor could, if he allowed himself, fall very heavily for Paul. Shaking his head he got to his feet. “All right, I’ll go quietly.”

“Good, because I didn’t fancy having to throw you over my shoulder and carry you out of the building.”

“Damn, I should have held out. I could have had all my caveman fantasies fulfilled.”

Paul shook his head. “Daft bugger.”
