Synopsis

Need a prescription for love? Take two, and call me in the morning.

And Call Me in the Morning: Eli and Zane. Yes, they spend a lot of time together. That doesn’t mean they’re a real couple. When teased about it one too many times by their colleagues, Zane challenges Eli to set the record straight with a kiss to prove there’s absolutely no chemistry between them. Neither expected a spark to ignite between them. More than a spark. Truth be told, Eli’s not so sure they can set the record straight after all.

And Call Me in the Evening: Eli’s still not great at wearing his heart on his sleeve and Zane’s still got trust issues, but they manage just fine. It’s all good. Right? Yes and no. Eli’s ex-wife Marybeth has come back to town, bringing a heaping helping of hassle with her. There’s something to be said for setting the story straight, it’s true. Eli knows he and Zane have a good thing going even if keeping it that way is the hardest — and best — part.

Eli stopped Zane with a hand to the shoulder. All the lights were out in the free clinic, everyone gone home for the night. Zane and Eli left behind, workaholics to the last, but somehow that was different when you had each other’s backs and counted on one another. Zane, exhausted but still crackling with life, his gray eyes tired but his wicked smile ready.

“Something on your mind?” Zane asked, as if Eli wasn’t certain Zane knew damn well what kind of bee he had in his bonnet.

“Don’t ask questions if you already know the answers.” Eli let his fingers trail down to the neckline of Zane’s scrubs. Strange how Zane’s sleek chest held as much appeal in its way as the firm swell of a woman’s breasts. Maybe more so. How long had it been that way?

“Maybe I want to hear what you’ve got to say. Ever think about that?” A planner he might be, but Zane’s impatience got the best of him four out of five times. He draped his arm over Eli’s shoulder and tugged him in. More, he nudged Eli’s foot with his and guided him closer.

Eli came. No reason not to. This was easy, natural, the way it should be. He slid his arm casually around the small of Zane’s back and rested his palm on Zane’s hip, taut and flat instead of rounded, and liked it. His leg was pressed to the join of Zane’s. “Nah. I know you. You’re easy.”

“Guilty.” Zane relaxed his pose, letting Eli push his leg between, and shifted his weight so that Eli held him up. “What are you going to do about it?”

Will Okati (formerly known as Willa) has lived through a few Interesting Times, but come out the other side a little grayer, a little wiser, and ready to get writing. Still as passionate about coffee, cats, and crafts as ever, but knowing that to your own self you must be true. Also still one of the quiet ones to watch out for, but life — like storytelling — is always a work in progress.
