hope you ll accept.
Ethan sighed and Crewe savored the warm puff of air that caressed his shoulder.
He hugged Ethan tighter before stepping back a bit and capturing Ethan s gaze.
Shaking his head, he smiled.  Still adorable, even if you are grumpy in the morning.
Ethan wrinkled his nose and Crewe laughed.  Let s finish this shower. I m starving.

Three weeks and counting. Ethan pushed the book cart ahead a few paces and
shelved another book. The smile on his lips had become a near permanent fixture.

Crewe had turned his life upside down and Ethan was loving it. He halted with a book
in his hand. Loving Crewe. A thrill shot through his chest, fear and delight in equal
measure. I love Crewe. Just thinking the words made his chest tighten again.
The past few weeks had been amazing. Any mutual free time they had was spent
together. Crewe was teaching him Tai Chi and some simple defensive moves. Ethan
had to admit that the exercise made him feel good. Not to mention the fact that it
brought him closer to Crewe. They d gone out more than a few times, to the movies or
the mall. They always shared lunch now. Crewe would pick him up at the library or
Ethan would meet Crewe at the dojo.
They spent every night together either at Crewe s or Ethan s house. Nick was still
out of town. After his trip to Syracuse, he d made another connection that sent him to
Boston and from there to Atlanta. At the moment, he was back in Chicago. It seemed he
and the security chief at Info Systems had a little more to work out. More than one date
could take care of. Ethan had shaken his head when Nick told him that one. He still
couldn t get over the fact that Nick was gay.
Ethan shook himself and finished putting the books away. His shift ended in
another hour and tonight Crewe had planned something special. Something Ethan
wasn t actually looking forward to for once. Crewe wanted to go out. To a club. A club
in Indianapolis called The Midnight Howl. A gay club.
Ethan bit his lip and grimaced. This was oh so not his thing, but Crewe was so
enthusiastic. He d pulled out all the stops, loving on Ethan until he agreed to go. With
Crewe s mouth wrapped around his cock, Ethan was afraid he d agree to just about
anything. Which just wasn t fair if he really thought about it.
Still, he figured it wouldn t kill him to do something Crewe really wanted to do.
Isn t that what lovers were supposed to do? Please each other?
He sighed and bit his lip, trying to keep his tension and insecurity at bay.

Later that evening, Ethan was wishing he hadn t been so eager to please. He was
miserable and trying hard not to show it. They d arrived at the club and it was
Kate Steele Hoosier Werewolf 1: Midnight Howl - 65 -
everything Ethan dreaded. There was loud music, liquor, and loads of people. He d
never felt so out of place in his entire life. Once again in a polo shirt and casual slacks he
knew immediately that he was going to stick out like a sore thumb. The look of the day
was casual all right, but jeans and leather were the proper attire and shirts seemed to be
optional.
The minute he and Crewe had come in the door, Crewe had been greeted by
person after person. During his time living in Indianapolis, The Midnight Howl had
been a favorite haunt of Crewe s and he was well known. Crewe had introduced him to
people who d been polite, but after the introductions Ethan stayed quiet and no one
seemed bothered by the fact that he didn t join in the conversation.
Crewe got them a table and drinks, a beer for himself and soda for Ethan. Not
liking alcohol of any kind was something else that Ethan felt made him odd. He
couldn t even join in the drunken revelry, and being sober in a roomful of drunks just
sucked. Not that everyone was drunk. Crewe most especially wasn t. He was quite
obviously taking it easy on the beer intake.
One thing Ethan did find fascinating was the dancing. All those couples wiggling
and gyrating and in some cases practically fucking on the dance floor was an eye
opener. Crewe had actually gotten Ethan out on the floor, much to his embarrassment.
But after the slow dance ended, Ethan insisted on going back to the table. Crewe was
going out of his way to be sweet, touching and talking to him, encouraging him to relax,
but Ethan just felt lost, though he tried hard to hide it.
After awhile most of Crewe s acquaintances had drifted away and were dancing.
One man stayed, Chad Sutter who Ethan actually kind of liked. He seemed like a nice
guy and truly talked to Ethan, including him in their conversation. In the midst of a
story about an incident that had happened at the club the week before, someone new
came to the table. He was a tall, broad shouldered man with sable hair and amber eyes.
 Hello, Crewe. Nice to see you again.

 Lucas! Crewe rose from his seat and shook the other man s hand.  Nice to see [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
