Run So Far
Page 9
“What’s your turn-around time?” Kyle asked.
“I’m free right now.”
“So we have all day?”
Del sent him a mischievous smile. “Where have you been staying?”
“The hotel down the street. It’s no Four Seasons, but the rent was really cheap and it’s clean.”
“We’ll pick up your stuff later.”
“Later, huh? So we’re gonna be busy for a while? Are we gonna play canasta? I’ve always wanted to learn how to play canasta.”
“I think you’ve been in Florida too long visiting old people.”
Once Del unlocked the cab he stepped back for Kyle to enter. He swung up behind him, locked the door and then pulled the privacy screen for the front.
Kyle looked around the cab. It looked the exact same. He took a sigh of relief and turned around to face Del.
“Thank you,” he said.
Del reached up and took Kyle’s face between his hands. “Why are you thanking me?”
“For deciding to take a chance on a hitchhiker and allowing me to ride with you to Richmond.”
“I thought there was something amazing about you when I first saw you,” Del said softly. “When I came to in Barstow, I panicked. You were gone, my head was bleeding, and it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what had happened. I didn’t know, of course, the extent of what went down but the first thing I did was make sure your camera was still in the cab.”
Kyle listened raptly. They had talked some about that night and Kyle’s motivation for going along with his uncle’s not-so-well-thought-out plan, but he had never seen the emotions in Del’s face before and it held him spellbound.
“I never want to wake up again and you’re not there, Kyle.”
Then Del leaned down and kissed him, gently, on the lips. As kisses went, it was the chastest one he had ever received in his life, but it was also one of the most potent.
“I know we’ve not known each other long, but I think I love you, Delaney Vance.”
“Well, that’s good to know. Because I think I might love you too.”
And then the chaste kisses were gone and Del was kissing him as if he were a man dying of thirst who had just found an oasis. He grabbed Kyle’s hips and pulled him into his body, into the erection straining to be free.
As far as reunions went, this was turning out to be a great one, Kyle thought. Then, as Del’s hand traveled to Kyle’s backside to give his ass a gentle squeeze, all coherent thought simply ceased.
For a long time.
