Intentional peep show aside, Theo turns out to be a lot of fun. He plays a mix of hard rock over the speakers mounted underneath the roof as we work on depleting the beer supply. Adam and I both roll in laughter with his stories of the rather varied people of the neighborhood. And as he’s busy playing host, I see a Marine Corps tattoo on his calf muscle.

While Adam’s clueless to the exact level of comfort Theo has around me, I’m hyper aware of every sideways smirk or twinkle of his eye. It’s awesome to have someone so hot obviously wanting to be more than friendly neighbors, but I have my hands full the way it is with Adam. And I can’t stop staring at that damn tattoo.

Jason had one just like that.

The three of us are debating what flavor of pizza to order when a group of Theo’s buddies stop by with enough booze to knock out an entire football team. And I can’t help but wonder if that’s exactly what they do for a living as they’re all just as well built as our host.

“Another actress, or is this one a model?” one of the guys asks Theo, taking a swig of his mixed drink while wiggling his blond eyebrows at me. He’s taller than Theo, though not quite as built or all-American looking. A scar over his eyebrow has the curious feel of many fights gone bad.

Adam stands up too quickly, his hand held out. “She’s Jewels, I’m Adam.”

The guy shakes his hand. “James. You new to the neighborhood?”

“We’re renting the place next door for a couple weeks,” Adam answers. It’s great to see him being friendly with these guys, even if it is because he’s becoming all Alpha male. Still, I’m beginning to feel the burn of gnawing guilt for dragging him over here without asking what he wanted to do.

James cups Adam on the back. “Welcome to Murray Hill. My man, Theo, will take real nice care of you while you’re here. We’ve got a few house parties lined up this weekend. You’ll have to join us.” He tilts his head at me. “Where you from?”

“Wisconsin,” I answer, standing to join them. “You know, the land of milk and cheese, and shit.”

I waver on my feet, the five beers hitting me in a blanket of haze. Since hanging out with Adam I’ve hardly had any alcohol, and apparently it’s made me a lightweight. But seeing Theo’s tattoo had me pounding down more beers than I intended.

The three guys each move as if to catch me. Theo, being the closest, clutches my arm. “Whoa. Take it easy, beautiful.”

“Hey, I’m from Wisconsin,” I repeat, smiling brightly. “We drink beer for breakfast.”

James cackles brightly. “You guys sound like news people.”

I raise one eyebrow with an attempt of seduction. “You should hear me do the weather.”

Adam cuts past Theo to take my other arm, pulling me from our neighbor. “Time to call it a night.”

“She just needs something in her stomach,” Theo decides, pulling his phone from his jeans pocket.
