dead colleague at his side, he developed issues.
Budge looked back down the road at the runner. Good set of shoulders on him and an easy stride pattern that was eating up the road. What a dick, thought Budge. Who could be bothered? The army tried to beat a love of exercise into him. Didn’t work.
Fortunately, he was naturally fit. A few press-ups and sit-ups here and there was enough for him. Also, his job was physical. Beating up people on a regular basis tended to keep him healthy and strong, he thought with a grin.
He sat back in the car, turned on the engine and wondered how far on the runner was. Thought about the shape of him as he vanished into the distance. They were of a similar height and weight. A thought occurred to him. Might be interesting to find out if they were the same size all over.
No point in coming all the way out here without having a little fun now, was there?

Kenny loved the sensation of having an endless source of energy in his thighs. That’s what keeping fit did for him. A night of no-conscience shagging, followed by a deep sleep, followed by a run: life just didn’t get any better. He gave a wee skip when he reached the red telephone box at the village hall – laughed at himself – and considered going on till the A84. He could feel the power in his legs, the evenness of his breathing and the hormones feeding his system. Felt like he could go on forever.
Then he thought about Alexis lying in the hotel bed, the softness of her skin and her words hot in his ear last night urging him on to bigger effort. He felt a stirring. Stopped and turned. He could go for a run any morning.
Back at the hotel, a wink to Davie behind the reception desk and he was up the stairs to his room three at a time. He opened the door and slid in. The curtains were still shut but enough light came in the door behind him to see that an Alexis-shaped bump still warmed the sheets.
He considered jumping in beside her. Right, and a smelly, sweaty body was going to receive a welcome. He shucked off his clothes and walked over to the bathroom. The shower was hot and brisk. His groin tingling with anticipation as he soaped himself clean of his efforts.
A quick rub-down with a towel and he was ready.
He lifted up the quilt and slid in behind Alexis. She made a happy little mewling sound as he put an arm round her.
A moan as he slid deep inside her.
‘O’Neill,’ she said with a husky voice, ‘you’re an animal.’
Kenny felt his breath shorten as he moved in and out. The feeling was delicious. He savoured her heat and wetness as he slowed down his movements. He groaned. She was so wet. She was always quick to respond to him, but not this quick.
‘Mmm, yes, Kenny. This is so nice.’
Kenny closed his eyes and stopped moving. He didn’t want to come just yet.
Alexis had a chuckle in her voice. ‘You ’d think once in the morning would be enough for you.’
Her words didn’t register for a moment as he began to slowly move.
Then he stopped.
‘What do you mean, “once in the morning”?’
Alexis laughed and he could hear her head move on the pillow as she turned to face him. ‘You animal.’ She laughed again. ‘You just had your way with me minutes ago.’
Kenny sat up. ‘What do you mean, “minutes ago”?’ He reached across her to the bedroom lamp. ‘I’m just back from a run. You sure you weren’t dreaming about me? Again.’
‘Again, my backside,’ Alexis said and pushed at his chest. Her smile faltered on her face as she read the look on his face. ‘Kenny O’Neill, you are a horror.’ From her expression she expected him to admit he was teasing her. ‘Stop kidding me on.’
‘I’m not kidding, Alexis. Look.’ He pointed to his running gear in a damp slump by the bathroom door. He gripped her arm, suddenly anxious. ‘Tell me. Did you think you had sex with me already this morning, or were you dreaming?’
