for the desk clerk s benefit, perhaps to warn him that David had been taken, but Scott needn t have bothered. The boy only had eyes for Scott and had barely glanced David s way. Typical, but he didn t mind, because Scott noticed him and wanted him, and for the next ten days or so, Scott was going to be his. The moon s tiny crescent still failed to give off any light, and the path to the cabins was not well lit, leaving it dark and dim, if not a little dangerous. David, all too aware of the possibility of some sort of disaster happening to him in these sorts of circumstances, walked slowly and carefully, then as an extra precaution grabbed Scott s arm. He didn t care that Scott gave him a puzzled look; he wasn t going to take any chances. The kid said our cabin is over there. Scott pointed to an even murkier section of the park where black silhouettes melded with the surrounding darkness. Shadows flickered as night creatures flitted across the only illumination. In the distance something howled, and though David knew it had to be a dog, it just added to the already charged atmosphere. Jesus, David declared, rethinking back to his moment in the car where he thought this place would have been the perfect setting for a horror movie. Could this place be any creepier? It feels like we re in the middle of nowhere with all manner of things skulking about. All we need now is something big and hairy to jump out at us with claws and teeth, snarling and ready to kill. What the fuck are you talking about? Startled by Scott s exclamation, David jumped, then burst out laughing. Sorry, I was just thinking how spooky this place is. I ve kind of got a weird imagination. Weird? It s off the fucking planet. Scott shook his head. There s nothing skulking about, and nothing is going to jump out at us. But then he smiled and leaned in close. Don t worry. I ll protect you if anything tries to harm you. David almost laughed. Despite not looking for trouble, it seemed to find him wherever he went. It was part of his life, and he was used to it, but it was nice to hear Scott offer to keep him safe just the same. Thanks. Scott grinned in reply. Anytime. Continuing down the path and still clinging to Scott s arm, David no longer concentrated on where he was going; his mind now on nothing but sleep. He was really tired and had suddenly become more so, his limbs feeling heavy, and his brain a little fuzzy. So when they moved into an inky black patch of the graveled walkway and the stuff of David s imagination came to life and burst free from the bushes beside them, his reactions were more than a little slow they were nonexistent. Scott let out a cry of surprise and jumped back, throwing his arm out, which caused David, who just barely managed not to scream like a girl, to trip and land heavily on his ass. Fuck! Davey, shit, are you all right? Scott dropped down beside him, his expression hidden by the shadows, but his concern obvious in the way he grabbed David by the arms and tugged him close. Heart racing, it took David a couple of seconds to realized what had happened. Embarrassed, because quite frankly he thought he couldn t look more like a wuss, he glanced around but couldn t see what it was that had jumped out at them. What the fuck was that? I think it was a wombat. Scott was clearly trying to make his voice sound calm, but there was a hidden thread of shock in it. What the hell is a wombat? Scott sat back on his heels, leaving his hands on David s shoulders. It s a big hairy creature with claws and teeth. Are you serious? David looked around again, but there was no sign of the wombat or anything else for that matter. The wan moon was now hidden by a scudding cloud, and full darkness completely surrounded them. Something howled again, and just when David was going to suggest they got out of there, Scott laughed. Yes, but I think it was more afraid of us than we were of it. Tell my heart that. Are you all right? Scott ran his hands over David s body, and David could only guess it was to make sure he hadn t hurt anything. Other than his ego, and now a bruised ass, David hadn t been injured, but enjoying the attention too much to make Scott stop, David waited until Scott had thoroughly checked over every inch of him before placing his hand over Scott s. I m fine, he said. Nothing broken, nothing too damaged. Are you sure? I knocked you over pretty hard. I m sure. Now help me up. David put out his hand, which Scott clasped, but instead of just hauling him to his feet, Scott pulled David into his chest and hugged him. I m sorry. I guess I didn t protect you very well, did I? Sinking into Scott s arms, David rested against him for a moment before pulling back. Well, the big hairy thing with claws and teeth didn t rip me to pieces, so you must have done something right. No, because of me, you got hurt. Not your fault, believe me. David grinned though he doubted Scott could see it. But if you really want to make up for it, you can kiss my arse better, he said, rubbing the spot that probably was going to bruise. Can I lick it too? The softly spoken words next to David s ear had him shivering despite the warmth of the evening. He nodded, allowing himself to be drawn back into Scott s embrace. Strong hands slid down his back before curving to cup the rounded mounds of his ass. All of it? David nodded again, not sure if his voice wouldn t betray the tight thrill that gripped him at the thought of Scott s velvet tongue sliding over the entrance to his body before slipping inside. Good. Then let s find the damn cabin, and after we ve had a nice hot shower, I m going to make sure your ass is all right before I fuck it senseless. INSIDE, THE CABIN was woeful. Even with the light turned on, it was dark and dismal, and it had that musty, abandoned rankness that indicated it probably hadn t been used for months. One look around the cobwebbed interior and Scott was ready to leave. This place really was the pits, but before he could say anything, David flopped down on the double bed, hung his head, and sighed. God I m knackered. I think jet lag is finally catching up with me. Scott stared at him for a moment, then despite his disapproval, decided the cabin would have to do. David looked exhausted, and Scott didn t have the heart to make him search for somewhere else. He dumped his bag, then checked out the bathroom. The green tiled area was clean, for which he was thankful, but it was stuffy. He opened the window, and as he stepped back into the main room, he scouted for the air-conditioning switch. Is it me, or is it hot in here? David was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, one arm flung behind his head, the other hanging listlessly off the edge of the mattress. It s hot in here. Finding the remote for the air- conditioning, Scott pressed a few buttons and was rewarded with a loud bang and a sizzle coming from the unit on the wall above the bed. David didn t move, but a tired, unsurprised smile etched his face. Not working? he asked. Cursing, Scott quickly turned off the unit at the main power and threw the remote down in disgust. Three star my ass! David, I think we should go find another cabin, he said, changing his mind about
