Six Degrees of Lust
he
    could find a way to leave by himself. “It isn’t,” he finally said.
    “See you in forty-five minutes or so. And, Mac?”
    “Yeah?”
    “Unlike you, when I said I’m up for it, I meant I’m up… as
    in up.”
    “Jaysus.”

    Mac closed his eyes and adjusted himself. It wasn’t until he
    went back to their booth five minutes later that he realized he
    never asked the guy what his first name was. Friggin’ great.
    He ordered another beer and faked being interested in his
    surroundings while trying to come up with a valid, credible reason
    to abandon his friends and get out of there without looking like a
    total ass. He more than appreciated the birthday celebration, but
    there was that unexpected present he couldn’t wait to unwrap.
    He talked to Chris and Gabi and watched Braxton dance with
    Ryan, but his mind had checked out from the club the second
    he’d seen Sexy Super Agent’s number displayed on his cell. What
    was he going to do? The more minutes passed, the more quiet
    he got and by the time his cell phone vibrated and he read the
    “I’m out front” message he was ready to jump out of his skin,
    which totally worked to his advantage because, at the end, he just
    told his friends he wasn’t feeling too well, had a headache—a
    half lie, considering how badly his little one was throbbing—and
    that he’d had enough of the club and was ready to go back to his
    room.
    It took him a few minutes, but he was able to talk his friends
    out of leaving with him. He was perfectly capable of getting a
    cab and making it back to the hotel on his own. Then finally he
    was free to make a quick beeline for the exit and go be with the
    man that had kept him hard as a rock for days.

    The gods must have been smiling on Sam because, after
    brushing his teeth, dressing in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and
    writing down a note for his mother in case she got up and went
    looking for him, it only took him forty minutes to make his way
    to Mac. At a club. He was picking him up as opposed to meeting
    him at his hotel room.
    Fucking unreal.
    What had possessed him to make such an offer? This wasn’t
    a damn date. It was… a sexual meeting. Yeah. And he’d sped all
    the way from Queens to Manhattan in order to make it there as
    soon as possible, not because he was anxious to see this man, but
    because the sooner he took care of business, the sooner he could
    go back home.
    Yeah. That was it.
    He double parked a few feet away from the club’s entrance, sent
    a message to Mac and instinctively scanned the street, something
    he’d been doing since his days with the police department. People
    would be surprised if they could see how many normal looking
    predators lurked the streets, especially around this club. It was
    the place where some of the victims on the Leviticus case had
    last been seen.
    But then the door opened and all coherent thought escaped
    Sam.
    “Holy Mother of God…”
    He rolled down his window and signaled with his truck’s high
    beams until he was sure Tex had seen him. Then he leaned back
    in his seat and just watched him.

    The guy was huge. He was wearing blue jeans that were tight
    in all the right places and a dark red shirt that brought out his
    lightly tanned skin and the whiter streaks in his golden blond
    hair. It also showcased bulging, rippling biceps. His full, sensuous
    mouth and straight nose softened the sharp angles of his face,
    and Sam could’ve sworn he was able to see Mac’s emerald green
    eyes sparkle under the street lights.
    He was fucking stunning and Sam was insanely turned on just
    from watching him walk.
    Mac reached the truck and instead of getting in right away
    he stopped by the driver’s side door and smiled. A low moan
    rumbled its way out of Sam’s throat before he even realized it.
    He loved dimples, and Mac had them in spades.
    “Damn,” Mac said. “You are hotter than I
