back his card.
He glanced back through the dirty window of the booth at Kevin. “Is this a second job for him?”
“If you’re old friends, why don’t you ask him?”
He turned back to give her his most intimidating attorney stare. He’d used it often in his position as a highly compensated divorce attorney to celebrities and other wealthy clients.
She sighed. “It’s his only job. He was laid off.”
Michael wasn’t surprised. Times were pretty rough for a lot of people. It just hadn’t occurred to him things would be so bad for Kevin. He’d been such a happy-go-lucky sort when Michael had known him. Of course, after he’d been forced to push the kid away Kevin had ended his friendship with Danny and disappeared off the face of the earth as far as the Bennetts were concerned. Michael had never meant for that to happen.
“Thanks,” he told Gabby and slipped back outside.
He couldn’t keep his eyes off Kevin. The man even moved in a sexy way. The way his long slender fingers curved around the pen as he wrote down each driver’s order. He could just imagine the way they’d feel grasping his cock. Think about something else before you end up embarrassing yourself at the car wash .
Too soon the Maserati pulled in front of him and several workers began to dry and wax it. Michael was aware many of the other patrons eyed it with undisguised envy.
Truth was, he was a little uncomfortable with it. Oh, he loved it. It was a damn hot and sexy car. But in these troubled times it was more than a little flashy. It had been a gift from his father for his thirtieth birthday. And really, who would turn down a Maserati?
Michael noticed the line of cars waiting to enter the car wash had dwindled down to nothing. Probably a temporary lull, but one he decided to take full advantage of nonetheless. He walked over to where Kevin stood.
“Hey, Kevin, how’s it going?” Michael spoke to his back.
Kevin jumped and took so long to turn around he’d begun to think Kevin planned on ignoring him. Finally he turned and fixed those incredible baby blue eyes on Michael.
Wow .
“As you can see, it’s going well,” Kevin said, his sultry, sexy voice laced with sarcasm.
Shit, when had Kevin Flaherty become so fucking hot? Had he always had that killer voice that did really inappropriate things to his cock? Michael didn’t think so. The Kevin he remembered was somewhat geeky and awkward, although always cute.
Michael ignored the sarcasm and instead said, “It’s been a long time. It’s been close to ten years, hasn’t it?”
“Nine years, one and a half months, actually, but who’s counting?”
“I like the red.” Michael gestured to Kevin’s hair.
Kevin’s gaze left his face—he felt the loss like a kick in the gut— and slid to his car. “I like the red there, too.”
“Bordeaux.”
That intense, cock hardening gaze came back to land on Michael. “Excuse me?”
Michael grinned sheepishly. “The name of the color is Bordeaux. According to Maserati.”
“You’re obviously doing well,” Kevin said. “Working at your father’s firm?”
“Yeah. I’m a full partner though. A divorce attorney.”
“Still breaking up relationships, huh?”
Michael winced. “Kevin—”
“How’s Danny?”
He relaxed a little, though he was still wound tight with sexual energy. “Good. He lives up north. Going to Stanford. Engaged, too, to a fellow medical student.”
“Another wildly successful Bennett. Well, good for him. That’s great. Be sure to tell him I said hello.”
Michael swallowed his discomfort. This new somewhat hostile Kevin was hard to get used to. He opened his mouth to say something else when Kevin swayed a little. His arm shot out and automatically wrapped around the man’s waist to steady him. “Are you okay?”
Kevin nodded but didn’t immediately pull way. “Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. Just a little light-headed.”
Damn. Michal had a feeling the kid wasn’t getting enough to eat. He thought he’d heard
