Chapter Thirteen

Hestayedforallthe shows that night, my B. Like he had the previous night, to better see, he leaned against a wall, and seeing him there, it made me crazy.

We talked for hours, and when he did finally leave, we’d just heatedly watched Joel getting pounded by Dirty Duke.

The crowd was insane for them, the floor covered with layers of cash. I watched B as he watched them, and several times, he’d take a napkin to dab at the sweat on his lip. “You like the show?”

We were in the booth, so the view was in and out, being all the men crowding the stage to get a closer view. “I, yeah, I do.”

“You sound surprised about that.”

“I’ve never…seen anything quite like it.”

I thought that was very strange, but I supposed that not everyone liked porn. “I used to watch Dirty Duke videos all the time. His and Mack Irons. The partners over there, Dirty Duke’s partners, they’re all in porn now. They have their own niche. They told me Mack Irons is the producer of them. I haven’t watched any of their stuff, but…I don’t know, groups aren’t my thing, even to watch, but I promised to check it out.”

“The video or the group thing?”

We both laughed but I assured, “Only the video.”

“Good,” he said, and he said it in a way that told me he was the monogamous kind too. He’d said it, so did Burke, in his cryptic way, but hearing hisgood, that let me know for sure.

When it was time for him to leave, we walked out into the darkened night, the stars like a pergola over us with shining, tiny flowers. “It’s beautiful here,” he said in a sigh.

“Yes. It is. I think I finally did something right, moving here.”

“I think you did too,” he said, and I was at a loss.

“Not sure what that means.”

“I’m happy you got away from the pain and found a good place to be. That’s all.”

“Oh,” I said with relief.

My heart was pounding a mile a second and I wanted to kiss him, but instead, he took my hands and said to me, “I’ll see you soon. I swear, this isn’t the end.”

“When? The next time they open? That’s a month.”

“It is, but maybe I’ll see you before that.”

He walked away after dropping my hands and was gone to the cars. I waited, watching what car he’d take, and it was a small blue car, maybe a Nissan. I’d never seen it before, but I’d like to see it again.

I caught the last show on stage, another sex show with Brett and Ryan. Hud and Theo, their boyfriends, were front row for it, then the foursome left together. Joel came over with Dirty Duke after and Duke…I mean Julio, reached out his hand to me and I took it. “Sorry, we couldn’t do the show.”

“I’m sorry. I hope they explained for me.”

Joel rolled his eyes and said, “Julio knows more ‘an you do ‘bout it.”

Julio growled at him, “Let’s go get dicks in that big mouth, hmm?”

“Oh, sure thin’.”

Joel was completely serious, which got Julio and me laughing.

“What? Let’s get!”

Julio followed him and I was left to laugh at the two of them. I grabbed my shirt from the booth we’d abandoned and got it on before bidding those I was closer to goodbye. Eli and Noah had come in without me knowing, and I gave Eli a hug. “You guys didn’t come yesterday.”

“No. Noah had three calves coming, so we couldn’t leave home. They came, all at once. It was…” he leaned in to finish, “hilarious. Noah was running around, barking orders and I couldn’t stop laughing.”
