Snippet:
Ray moved in from behind, wrapping his two good arms around Fraser’s middle and kissing the side of his neck. ″Good morning, Good Looking.″
Fraser grinned. ″You’re up early.″ Then he put his tea cup down on the counter and leaned back into the embrace a few moments before he turned to face his partner.
Ray kissed him properly, his tongue taking a morning tour. As he pulled back, Ray smiled. ″Thought I’d go to the gym, work out a little.″
″This is the third day in a row.″
Releasing Fraser, Ray stepped around him and poured himself some coffee. Despite recovering mostly from his shoulder injury, Ray hadn’t decided quite what to do with himself yet. He had a long list of choices, but he needed to think a bit longer before he jumped into anything. If he could, he’d be a cop again, but that wasn’t possible while living in Canada. He had the money to start a new business thanks to his pension and inheritance from Stella, but he was still in the consideration stage. Meanwhile, he needed to keep busy, get his arm and shoulder back to normal, or as close to normal as it could get.
″I know, I know, it’s not like me to go anywhere this early, but I like the new trainer they hired. Besides, once you leave for work, there’s not much point of laying around here all alone.″
″You have Diefenbaker and Alice.″
Ray leaned back against the counter and took a quick sip of coffee. Amused, he had to tease just a little. ″You think a cat and dog can replace you?″
″Not at all. I just meant...″
Before Fraser could explain himself, Ray did it for him. ″I know you worry about me being here alone all day, Fraser, but I’m fine. I keep busy.″ Ray saw the flash of doubt in those deep blue eyes. ″I’m serious. I’m okay. Besides, now that my shoulder’s better, I like working out. Every day it feels a little stronger.″
″That’s wonderful news.″
″You bet.″ Considering how bad it’d been, it was a fucking miracle. Ray drained his coffee and put the cup in the sink. He’d wash it out later when he got back from the gym. ″And eventually, I’ll figure out the rest.″
″The rest?″
″What I want to do with the rest of my life.″
