Chapter Ten

It wasn’t the most awkward evening of his entire life. There had been the night when he was fifteen, when he’d told his parents he was gay. He was quite certain that had been worse. And then there was the time when his brother had unexpectedly come to visit him at college and hadn’t knocked before walking in on him and his boyfriend. They had not been studying. He was sure he’d never seen anyone quite the shade of green Bill had been. So, yes, he’d experienced worse. It didn’t make the next four hours any less uncomfortable.

He excused himself not long after the women arrived and went to change his clothes. In reality he just wanted out of the room so he didn’t have to look into the knowing, amused faces. His arousal hadn’t lasted much beyond Sheila’s laughter, but his embarrassment had. The people closest to him all knew he was gay, but he’d never been one for public displays of affection. Having his sister-in-law catch him with his tongue down someone’s throat while they humped on his kitchen counter was well beyond his comfort level. He changed into jeans and a fleece pullover, straightened up the bedroom, even put out clean towels in the bathroom before coming to the conclusion he couldn’t hide forever.

Aidan was very casual about the whole thing, ordering pizza on her cell phone, although she had sent Matt more than one pointed look. Sheila was worse, winking at him every chance she got, deciding she could stay for dinner because her children’s father was capable of boxed mac and cheese. Her real reason for staying was to torment him as much as possible. Kiernan acted as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, being his usual irrepressible self. He followed Matt into the kitchen when he went to get something to drink.

“You know,” he murmured, leaning against the counter at Matt’s side. “This whole thing will be easier if Aidan believes the reason I’m staying is because we’re involved. If that’s all right with you.”

Matt sent him a sardonic look. “Well, given what she walked in on, that shouldn’t be a particularly hard sell.”

Kiernan grinned. “My thoughts exactly.” He took a glass of Coke and paused, eyes bright. “It was fun, yeah?”

Matt grunted softly. “Yeah, it was,” he acknowledged grudgingly.

Kiernan winked and walked out of the kitchen and Matt found his eyes dropping to Kiernan’s ass. Okay, he had to accept he was fixated. And the way Kiernan’s ass had felt in his hands, hard muscles flexing… Sighing, he picked up two more glasses and followed.

Kiernan didn’t do anything overt as the evening went on, but to his sister, the signs must have been unmistakable. He sat beside Matt on the couch, not leaning on him but close enough. Matt found Kiernan’s eyes turning to him often, warm with affection. He knew he blushed more than once, something which Sheila seemed to find particularly entertaining.

Kiernan was also a tactile person.
