EXCERPT
Jesse tried it, and soon they were laughing, trying to top each other’s skywriting artwork,
running through the box of sparklers until they were down to the last few.

Finally Trevor sank down on the stone bench, holding his aloft and looking up at the sky. “I miss you,
Riley James. I love you.”
Riley James. I love you.”
Jesse hoisted his sparkler up, too. “Miss you, Riles.”
Jesse headed inside, amused at the sight of Trevor making himself at home by brewing some coffee.
His brown hair was flattened on one side, sticking up on the other, and he had a red crease in his
cheek from where it’d been pressing against his hand.

Trevor was wearing an old pair of jeans that hung loosely on his thin frame, and a T-shirt with the
sleeves pushed up to his elbows. His hands were long-fingered and graceful, and Jesse noticed with
a jolt that he was wearing Riley’s watch, the oversize face almost swallowing his slender wrist.

The memory of Trevor stroking his tattoo a few hours ago sent another wave of inappropriate desire
surging through him, and Jesse gulped. Jesus, get a grip! I’m his son’s friend! He won’t ever see me
as anything but a kid.

And why should he? Besides Trevor being older, and way more experienced, he was dealing with
a ton of emotional baggage, not the least of which, his recent breakup with the man he’d intended
to marry, for fuck’s sake.

Get a grip, asshole. Seriously. He’s way out of your league and the last thing he needs is some stupid
kid mooning over him. What he needs is a friend.
