More from Chapter 23:
Jim made his way rapidly back to the bar, and Ennis felt his eyes on him.
“If he weren’t so full a his good looks it’d make it a whole lot easier ta tell em off,” Ennis said, voice pitched low enough for Dupree’s ear. At that, Dupree burst out laughing.
“So, he’s yer type, eh?”
“Maybe. If I didn’t have somebody already. But he is too fuckin nosy ta be my type if you want the truth.”
“I suppose if I was inta guys... he might be my type too,” Dupree said thoughtfully, making another surreptitious glance as Jim cleared a table and loaded a tray to return to the kitchen.
“You sayin somethin here Dupree?” Ennis peered over at him.
“Nope. Just talkin.”
Ennis nodded, an uncomfortable silence growing between them.
The next time Ennis looked up Lauren came over to them. “Rudy said everythin seems ta be under control so I am headin out. Did you hear? Wayne’s gonna be out a the hospital in a few days, they’re lettin em go home cause the fever broke an his breathin is better.”
“That is great Lauren. I’ll be sure ta tell Ellery, so he can visit em again, maybe he can stop by tomorrow if his walkin is better.”
“What’d he do ta hurt it again, Ennis?”
“Nothin. It just happens,” Ennis said, blushing. Dupree smirked slightly.
“Okay well I am gonna go an thanks again. I am real glad we got you two new guys on, welcome aboard Jeremy,” Lauren said to Dupree.
They watched him leave, and Dupree leaned over, tapping Ennis on the arm. “Okay so it didn’t just happen did it?”
“No.”
“Ya got too frisky didn’t ya?”
“Shut up Dupree,” Ennis said, but biting his lip did not keep a blush and a faint smile from creeping over his face. “Yeah.”

Chapter 24, Ellery's "little dress" makes its first appearance:
He got up from the sofa, setting down the cigar, and poured himself a scotch. Perhaps the last thing he needed, but it was late Saturday night, and there was nowhere to go and nothing to do Sunday. As he did he heard Ellery moving in the bedroom, and saw him in the doorway, wearing a brief robe sashed loosely around his waist, leaving most of his legs and thighs still bare. He was blinking and rubbing his eyes.
“Ennis, you just get home?”
“A bit ago. Busy night.”
“Yeah I expected it.” Ellery came out to the living room, reached for Ennis’s arm, limping, and leaned on him heavily. “You okay? You look like someone stole yer teddy bear or somethin.”
Ennis grinned despite his mood. “Nah. I’m okay.” He helped Ellery to the sofa and sat down next to him, and as he sat down Ennis smoothed his hair back over his face, leaning in to kiss him softly.
“Missed ya darlin,” he said softly, nibbling along his jawline. “An your as prickly as a porcupine.”
“You steppin out on me with porcupines now?” Ellery said, sighing softly.
Ennis laughed, the laugh almost a whisper against his ear. “Maybe.”
“Lauren do okay, he get off early?”
“Mmm hmmm.”
“Never thought that bar’d be so busy I would need staff for it, Ennis.”
“Well it is, busy all damn night, still full when I left at one.”
“Holy crap. Mmm, like those kisses.” Ellery’s head fell back as Ennis sucked softly on the soft flesh beneath his ear. “I ain’t all better yet boy, so if yer gonna get somethin started.”
“I know how ta beat off, Ellery, it’s okay,” Ennis said, his voice soft in his ear. “Just wanted ta kiss ya a while, hope ya don’t mind.” He moved his mouth down to the exposed adam’s apple then up over the prickly jaw and then pressed his mouth against Ellery’s, , tickling his bottom lip with his tongue before taking it firmly, his arm tightening around his shoulders. A kiss he had needed all night. He broke away from it reluctantly, tasting the faint flavor of cigars and scotch.
“Nope, I never mind kisses,” Ellery said, another sigh escaping him.

Chapter 24, again...
“Hmmmm....” Ellery murmured in his ear. “Good boy,” and raised his fingers, lapping the hot semen as he gazed into Ennis’s molten brown eyes. “Let’s fuck tomorrow, okay?”
“Sure enough,” Ennis replied, his voice a harsh whisper, coming down a little at a time. He felt a momentary guilt at letting himself be fired up by the attraction to another man, but those random thoughts had been overtaken by the soft voice in his ear, potent with promise, reassuring him that they were not in for another long bout of problems with Ellery’s back. Ellery rose then, dutifully, and strapped on his back brace.
Ennis looked up at him as he settled back into the bed, reaching a hand out to touch his face, to stroke back his hair. “I love ya.”
Ellery smiled. “Yeah, I can tell.”

Chapter 25:
“He is jealous as fuck, which makes no sense Ellery. He got someone ta fuck hasn’t he? Didn’t Rudy…”
“Yeah, he put the make on Rudy. But that was probably just ta see if he could rile me. Anyhow I ain’t meetin Gabe up there, I’m meetin Rudy, goin ta the safe, an that is that. He is gonna give his pistols back an that’s all there is to it.”
“An what if it ain’t like that, huh?” Ennis’s face grew dark.
“Sweetheart, I really, really want ta have a nice relaxin day an have a real nice roll in the sack with you. I don’t want ta have a showdown with some guy I fucked two times an you end up with another bruise on yer jaw or worse a fractured skull. Please, Ennis.”
“Fuck it, you think I can’t put him down if he swings at me?” Ennis half rose, hands on the table, looming over Ellery with an angry glare.
“Maybe ya can. I don’t want ta find out. An it disturbs me fer men ta fight over me like I’m a prize heifer. I ain’t.”
“I’m sorry… but that asshole… you don’t know what he said.”
“Oh, now let me think. He made some sort a insultin sexual comment about me.”
“Yeah he did. He said you was gonna be missin his cock.”
Ellery laughed. “Well that’s all. He must know how much I miss it since the minute I saw em I turned around an came home an got busy on yers, right?”
“I guess.”
