“And you hated me, right? Don’t you still hate me?”

I shake my head.

“Then why did you come to the hospital, RJ?” he asks like he already knows. I may as well tell him the truth rather than let him think I was there to kill him.

“Because I was worried about you, okay? I didn’t even think it would be you that got shot, but I needed to know. And when I found out…I thought you were gonna die, and I couldn’t hate you anymore.”

“Since you were honest with me, I’ll be honest with you.”

“Okay.”

“I left the bar tonight because I didn’t want to sit there and watch you fuck some random whore, okay?”

“She’s not a whore. She would’ve fucked me for free.”

“Whatever, man. I don’t need to see that shit or know any details.”

He was jealous? Holy shit. That’s a fucking relief.

For the first time in weeks, I feel like everything makes sense. Finally.

That’s why I decide to be honest with him. “You know, I’m really glad there aren’t any openly gay men around here.”

“You and your whole family, the entire town probably.”

“No, I mean, I’m glad there aren’t any men here hooking up with you.”

“Why would you care?”

“I shouldn’t care.”

“But you do?”

He already knows the answer to that question. He just wants to hear me say it. But I can’t. Instead, I grab the back of his neck and slam my lips across his.

It’s a deep, brutal kiss on my side and his. Our teeth clash, and our tongues thrust against each other as Thane grasps my hips. He slams our lower bodies together so hard I groan at the contact of my erection slamming against his.

“You’re drunk, aren’t you, birthday boy?” he asks me against my lips.

“No. I only had two beers.”

“Then you may want a few more so you’ve got an excuse ready.”

“What?” I ask as his lips and tongue move down my neck, making me shudder as I try to figure out what the hell he’s talking about.

“An excuse for tomorrow? You know, when you say you didn’t know what you were doing when you kissed me tonight because you were drunk?”

“I’m not gonna say that.” His hands slide up under my shirt, the warmth of his skin against mine, his tongue on my neck making me so hard I get dizzy.

“You’re not?” he asks quietly.

“No.”

“You promise?”

I nod as my mouth goes dry. When I swallow, Thane’s lips seal around my Adam’s apple. “Yes.”

“Good. Then sit down and relax, birthday boy. It’s time for your present.”
