want you to go over our details and point out any flaws. Duff, you do what you always do. The rest of you, I'll expect you to examine our final plan and tell us where we're going to have problems so we can avoid them."
    "Sounds good. We'll eat breakfast and take care of chores. Marshal, Grant, and James, someone else will cover your chores. We'll work out of the command center."
    Grant caught Roger's gaze, glad to see that the man was all business. Any desire they 'd felt this morning was because of the situation. He didn't need to fear Roger wanting to start something up just because they'd both slept in the same bed then woke to raging woodies, wishing that they could kiss and make love. After this mission, he'd find someone to have sex with and maybe that would help. He didn't like the idea, but Craig was gone, and he kept having thoughts about Roger with no way to slake his need.

 
    Chapter Seven
     
     
    Tucker took the dressing off his wound, staring at the stitches. They would come out tomorrow and then he'd really start on physical therapy. He'd been moving it, keeping it limber but weight lifting would help him rebuild. The door opened behind him and he smiled. It had to be Billy.
    "Hey," Billy came into the bathroom, moving in close, pressing him against the counter. His hands smoothed down Tucker's side to his hips.
    Part of him wanted to rebel against the touch as fear of someone seeing them surfaced but he was in his room and none of the other guys would ever come in without knocking and waiting for a reply. Only Billy entered without permission and that's because they were such close friends. This part of their relationship seemed natural, but scary. After a moment, Tucker leaned back, resting his head on Billy's shoulder. He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. Billy's lips teased his neck.
    "You're healing nicely," Billy mumbled against his neck.
    "Yeah, I like what I see."
    Billy laughed. "Looks like you were about to get into the shower."
    "I was thinking about it."
    "I still need to do my chores, otherwise I'd join you."
    Tucker stiffened, wondering what the others would think if they showered together. Would any of them even know or care?
    Billy ran his hands up Tucker's chest to his pecs. He toyed with the flesh around Tucker's nipples, leaving him gasping for breath. He opened his eyes, catching Billy's gaze in the mirror.
    "We've showered together before, don't you remember?"
    "I do."
    "I kept stealing glances at you. I was so glad the water was cold."
    "Freezing."
    Billy dropped his hands and moved back a step. Disappointment filled Tucker. Then Billy lifted the hem of his shirt, pulling it over his head. He only caught a glimpse of Billy's glorious chest in the mirror before Billy was pressed up against him, his warm chest against Tucker's back. The heat was more than Tucker expected and he gasped.
    "You like?" Billy's fingers feathered over Tucker's belly and up the center of his chest.
    Tucker's dick was hard now and he wanted relief but he was still hung up on the gay label. Years of hearing how bad being gay was colored his perceptions. He wasn't homophobic, but he'd always known he couldn’t be gay. Gay would get him kicked out of his family and leave him without the support of his parents. Yet, he couldn't imagine being with anyone but Billy. They'd been so close, such good friends. Funny that for some time, he'd thought friends would be enough. He didn't sleep with girls because he had no desire, not because he was gay. The years of excuses hit him full force and the tears couldn’t be held back.
    Billy must have seen the change because he made Tucker turn around and cradled him, kissing his head. "I'll always be here for you, Tuck." Billy lifted his chin and brushed his lips over Tucker's.
    His throat closed up and he grabbed at Billy's jeans with the fingers of his good hand, holding him close. He rocked his hips forward, needing the contact. Billy pulled away and cupped his cheeks,
