Wolf Whistle

Richard did not react to strange men like that. He’d had a few affairs at MIT that had all ended amicably, but he’d never had such an instant attraction to a man before. Then there was that stupid thread.

“I guess I am tired. I’ve seen it on and off since we boarded the plane in Chicago.”


“You’re exhausted. It’s been a very long day. We’ll sleep in tomorrow although I’m sure Julio and Etienne will show up at ten. Etienne made Julio very happy by finding you. Julio, according to Etienne, was ecstatic that you took the job at Garou. He and Donal both had it rough for a long time, and Julio took care of Donal although he keeps denying it. Evidence says otherwise.”
