Broadcaster snippet!

“You mind if I shower?” Jake jacked his thumb over his shoulder. “Ya know…get the plane off.”

“Right, yeah.” Bradley blinked a few times before coming out of whatever fog he’d disappeared into. “This way.”

Jake followed him through the house, grabbing his bag he’d dumped in the living room along the way. They went up the stairs to the single door on the left. “This is my room,” Bradley explained. “Nothing in the guest rooms will be safe with the kids, so you can leave your stuff in here for now. Bathroom’s got everything you need.” 

Jake was only allowed a quick look at the nice room before they were in the ensuite. Couples sinks, a jet tub, and a shower took up the decent-sized room. Bradley fiddled with the knobs until steam filled the room as water cascaded from a rainfall showerhead. He nodded to a rack with folded towels, then just…stood there. 

“Uh, anything else you need?” Bradley finally asked.

Jake bit his grin. “I don’t know, are you staying for the show?”

“Right…right, sorry.” Bradley’s cheeks went pink; he cleared his throat. “I’ll go check on the food. If you need anything, holler.”

Bradley left him to it. Jake took his time in the shower, opening the bottles of 2-in-1 with a snort. 

AS he toweled off, a knock rapped on the door. 

“Come in,” Jake called. 

It opened. Bradley kept his hand on the knob, leaning against the wood. His eyes traveled down Jake’s torso, pausing somewhere around the low-slung towel on his hips. The words on his tongue stopped with it. Jake looked at him in the foggy mirror, raising a brow.

“I…uh.” Bradley cleared his throat. “Lunch is ready.”
