“You’re enjoying the change of scenery, aren’t you?” Cam knew how difficult the past eight months had been for Galen and how difficult it had been for him to decide not to appeal his dismissal from the high school. The Bronx Music School Settlement’s board had fallen all over themselves to hire Galen as the school’s director.

“I guess I never considered what I could do outside of teaching. You were right.” He leaned in and brushed Cam’s lips with his own. “About a lot of things.”

“So you’ll admit you aren’t perfect?”

“Let’s just say I think you are”—he winked at Cam, who blew him a kiss in return—“and leave it at that.”

“So, my perfect partner,” Cam said as he took Galen’s hand in his own, “I was thinking we might spend an hour or two practicing our yoga technique.”

“Yoga?” Galen laughed. “I thought you were about to shoot me last week when I showed you the tree pose.”

“I never said I had very good balance, just that I’m naturally flexible.” Cam repressed a smirk. “But I had a thought about yoga.”

“Oh you did, did you?” Galen’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

“Naked yoga,” Cam deadpanned.

“Naked…?”

“Downward dog and all that? I could watch. And maybe—”

Galen pulled Cam toward him and claimed his lips with a happy sigh. “Only if you join me, my lord.”

Cam smirked and pretended to consider this. “All right,” he said after a moment. “I’ll join you.”

“God, I love your little toff arse,” Galen said in a fair approximation of an English accent. He slipped a hand down Cam’s pants and squeezed a bare cheek.

“I’ll forgive you that.” He leaned into Galen. “Uncouth Yank that you are.”

“I’m a quick study.” Galen began to nibble a line up Cam’s neck.

Cam closed his eyes and shivered. “Yes,” he whispered. “That you are.”
