think men like them more than women.” Kyle rubbed his stomach. “We’re basic animals. It’s all about the grub.” Chuckling, Gill picked up the biggest basket, containing at least fifty cookies. His brow rose as he read the delivery address. “Ezra? Wyn’s really going out on a limb sending these out to the EZ Does It. I can just imagine the ribbing Ezra will get from his ranch hands.” Choking on a drink of coffee, Kyle shook his head. “Wyn’s not sending them.”
    “Really? Ezra has another admirer? Ooh, do tell!” Kyle still couldn’t believe he’d accepted the order and gone along with the crazy scheme. “Nate ordered them. Read the card.”
    Gill pulled the small pale green card out of the envelope. “To Ezra James, Thanks for leaving the door open. I’ve had my eye on Palmer Wynfield for years. Thanks for making my Valentine’s Day all the more special.”
    Gill whistled. “Damn, he’s a sneaky little fuck.”
    “If it works, it’ll be worth it.”
    “Did Mr. Matchmaker at least order a bouquet for his own men? I’d hate to deliver something to the Sheriff’s station and not have something for Ryan. Hell, he might just shoot me.”
    Kyle laughed and pointed towards a much smaller basket. “Ryan gets that one.”
    “And Rio?”
    Laughing harder, Kyle shook his head. “Nope. It seems the big bad Rio prefers flowers, lilacs to be exact.”
    “Wow, I would’ve never guessed that,” Gill said with a smile.
    “I don’t think Rio would want the information to get around so keep it on the down low.”

Chapter Eleven

    Fussing with his shirt, Kyle finally sighed and gave up. Hopefully no one would be looking at his lap other than Gill, who’d think he was hard. Kyle grinned. Gill would probably be right.
    He still couldn’t believe Gill had volunteered to deliver all those baskets. It had been almost eleven before his man was back and ready to go to the station.
    Picking his keys up from the table, Kyle made his way towards the elevator, his overnight bag slung over the back handles of his chair. Gill’s story when he returned about the delivery to Ezra still cracked him up. Evidently Ezra wasn’t amused by Nate’s note.
    According to Gill, Ezra took the basket and stormed towards his big four-wheel drive, roaring out of the driveway in a spray of dust and gravel. Poor Wyn.
    Reaching the bottom, Kyle turned out the kitchen lights and went to the front door to wait. Gill was running a little late which wasn’t like him at all. Kyle looked at his watch. He’d give him five more minutes before calling.
    No sooner had the thought crossed his mind, Kyle saw the big Ford Explorer pull to a stop in front of the building. As he opened the door, he noticed a strange look on Gill’s face.
    “What’s wrong?” Kyle asked.
    Gill bent and gave him a deep kiss. “Nothing.” Another kiss had Kyle forgetting the evasive answer. Gill helped him into the Explorer before putting his chair in the back. Once Gill was buckled in, Kyle ran a hand over the top of Gill’s head. “You’re especially shiny. Did you use a buffer?” He grinned.
    Gill gave him a sheepish grin and shrugged. “Just wanted to look my best. I’m taking my Valentine out for dinner.”
    “Well you look good if that helps.”
    “Sure it does,” Gill said.
    “So tell me what the look was for earlier.”
    Gill looked over at him and gave a brief shake to his head. “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen you look this hot. I’m rethinking our dinner reservations.” Gill parked the Explorer.

    Kyle reached his hand over and ran it up Gill’s thigh towards his cock. “Because you’d rather go home and make love?”
    “Yeah, that and I don’t like the thought of Eric drooling over you all evening.” Kyle gave Gill’s cock a gentle squeeze. “You’re the only man I have eyes for.” He batted his lashes and grinned. “Sappy enough for you? Now, let’s eat.
