Murder in the Condo Next Door

“I have to let you out, first,” Michael replied.


“Good point. One night sleeping on your sofa was enough. Not that it isn’t comfortable, but…”


Michael chuckled as they walked to the door. “Your bed is better.”


“Definitely.” Reid waited for Michael to open the door. Then, before stepping into the hallway, he put his arms around him. “This might not be the best time to do this. I’m going to anyway.” With that, he kissed Michael.


Michael had no problem with returning the kiss. When they parted, he said, “There’s no wrongtime as far as I’m concerned.”


“I hope not, because I’m going to do it again, although not right this second. I’ll see you in the morning, or whenever Daniels agrees to talk with us.”


“The sooner the better. If he goes for it, I’d like to get it set up and over with.”


“Absolutely.” Reid hugged Michael then walked down the hallway. Before going around the corner to the elevator, he turned back, smiling. “Set the alarm and then get to bed.”
