Ben cocked an eyebrow and studied him a few seconds before he said, ″You’re jealous.″
Ray hated the sound of that even if it was true. ″No I’m not.″
″Are you sure?″
Ray relented and told the truth. ″Trying not to be.″
Ben reached over and touched Ray’s arm. He gave a brief squeeze for reassurance. ″There’s no reason to be jealous of Troy Joseph. He’s a good man and he’s been a decent friend to me and my family over the years. But there is nothing romantic, I repeat nothing, between us. Besides, I also grew up with his wife, Joy Lenore Bishop.″
″His wife?″
″Since they were both sixteen, yes. They married young and have three grown children.″
All the pressure in his brain eased. ″Why didn’t you say that in the beginning?″
″Because it never even occurred to me that you’d be jealous of a man who lives hundreds of miles away and whom I haven’t seen in person in years.″
Ray shrugged, suddenly feeling foolish. ″Sorry. I’m not sure what happened.″
″There’s no reason to feel insecure about our relationship, Ray.″
″I know, but I just heard you talking about this great guy and I just got stupid. My brain doesn’t always work right.″
″Your brain works fine. It’s your heart that sometimes betrays you. Believe me, I know how that feels.″ Ben ran a finger along the outer edge of Ray’s ear.
Ray shuddered and his dick tingled. Ben knew all the hot spots to get him going. ″Fuck. Don’t do that. I’m driving.″
Ben pulled his hand away and sighed with regret. ″It’s going to be a long flight.″
″Tell me about it.″
″Once we’re in our room in Inuvik, we’ll get naked and...″
″Jesus, Ben. Don’t talk like that. It’s hard to drive with a hard on.″
″You said to tell you about it.″
Ray took a deep breath for patience and then glanced over to see Ben grinning in amusement. Ray smirked. ″You are so going to get it once we’re we get to that hotel.″
Ben echoed Ray’s words from earlier. ″Promises, promises.″
