“Actually… Wood.”
“Yep.” He popped his head back out the door.
“Do you have to go to the shop this morning? I was hoping you could maybe…”
“Yeah, I do, around eight. I’m about to get ready now. You need something?”
“Do you think you can drop me off at St. Mary’s Methodist on Ninth Street and Atlantic? They have meetings today up until noon.”
“No problem. I got you, man.” Wood paused, appearing slightly embarrassed. “You sure everything’s okay?”
“I’m good,” Rayne lied again, knowing what Wood was asking, and the honest answer was fuck yes. Hearing him and Trent making love this morning was too much. He needed to call his sponsor and get to a meeting fast. He opened his bedroom door, Rayne’s breath hitching as Trent stuck his head out of their bedroom door, his naked upper body half-exposed.
“Hersch, I need you to do me a favor. My dad needs a ride home, and Summer just called and asked me to come in early, so I don’t have time.”
“I got you. Whatever you need, babe,” Wood assured his partner.
Rayne slowly closed his bedroom door. A bittersweet knot of pain bulged in his chest as moisture gathered behind his closed lids, but he didn’t let the tears fall. Living with Wood and Trent proved more difficult than he’d thought, and staying with his step-uncle had been a different kind of hell altogether, but at least there was a lot less temptation there.
I’m not sure how long this living arrangement is going to work out either.
