Excerpt
From Trash and Treasure by
M.D. Grimm
Some of the coldness left Ronan’s
eyes. He seemed confused again. Why did Tucker seem to confuse Ronan so much?
Then it happened. Ronan nodded.
“Deal.”
Tucker barely stopped himself from
gaping again. It worked? He was going to have sex? He was going to have
sex! He didn’t let himself think about how long it had been since his last
partner. It would only depress him. He knew what to do... mostly.
Tucker tossed the ball underhand to
Ronan, who caught it with a startled expression.
“What?” Tucker said. “It’s not like
you can go anywhere. Your ship’s caput and even if you tried to hack into my
navigation system, you wouldn’t get far. My ma designed it and she was the best
there was. Just letting you know in case you had a thought of bashing me over
the head and commandeering my ride."
Ronan looked insulted. “I would
never do such a thing. I am not a thief or vagabond.”
“Then what are you?”
Ronan’s mouth pulled into a thin
line. Tucker shrugged. “Fine. Keep your secrets. Come on, follow me. Let’s both
take a well-needed shower.” A blush suddenly crept up his face. “I mean, a
shower separately. Let’s take a shower—oh, never mind. Just come on.”
He turned his back on Ronan and
called himself an idiot. He dearly hoped he wasn’t making a huge mistake. But
he wouldn’t go back on it now. He really, really wanted to have sex.
