“Several times a month, but I’m getting more requests for my dresses lately. I might stop doing the appointments and only sell my designs.”

Cameron seemed to be deep in thought. “Do you have a website?”

Rylan shook his head.

“I can create one for you, but in the meantime, I’ll drive you to Denver on Friday.”

“I have a reliable car and I’ve been doing this for two years with no problems.”

Even the argument sounded weak to Rylan. He wanted to spend time with Cameron, but he didn’t want to bore him when he spent hours getting the women ready for their night out.

“It’ll make me feel better.”

And Rylan could feel himself melt at Cameron’s concern. “Well, at least I’ll have someone to talk to on the drive to and from.”

Cameron leaned over and gave him a small kiss. “Thank you.”

After they agreed, Issa allowed herself to relax and enjoy herself without worrying about him. And a few hours later, the last two days caught up with Rylan and he yawned as the sky darkened.

Suzy and Issa were the first to call it a night. Issa surprised him by hugging Cameron and the rest of the guys.

Rylan and Cameron both thanked Eric, Aaron, and Tim for helping them move. Although Rylan suspected that the group had big hearts that matched their size, he couldn’t help but smile as each of the three men hugged him, causing his throat to clog with emotion.

They hugged Cameron before waving their goodbye’s and leaving the two men alone.

Rylan helped Cameron with the dishes before rinsing and disposing of the used bottles and cans in the recycling bin. As Cameron washed the last dish and Rylan dried it and put it away, he could feel Cameron hesitate and Rylan tensed, waiting.

“Ry. I… well only if you’re comfortable… would you like to move into the master bedroom with me?”

Without hesitation, Rylan nodded. “I would love that.”

Cameron relaxed and Rylan was the first one to make a move. He stood on his toes and wrapped his arms around the bigger man’s shoulders, before capturing his lips in a scorching kiss that had Rylan moaning. And in that moment, with Cameron clutching Rylan close to him, he lost a piece of his heart to the man.

“Let’s go to bed.”

Cameron took his hand and for the first time since his mother’s passing, he had someone who understood him and cared for him.

It was a feeling he could easily get used to.
