After the world’s longest pool party and afternoon, they’d finally finished tidying up and grabbed the last of their things to take into the main house.

The party had gone off without a hitch. Everyone swam and ate the food they’d prepared. Olivia had finally gotten to feed the fish, but since Herald and Barbie were out for the day, Edgar had never gotten to see any cars.

Travis couldn’t have cared less about most of it. Yes, he’d enjoyed his time with his friends and family, but the looks Jersey kept throwing his way had Travis spending most of his time under the cover of the pool water or a towel. He’d had to take a cold shower in the pool house before changing, just to make himself presentable at the start of the party.

He found himself exceedingly glad that everyone had gone home and he could just let his mind wander again.

Jersey dropped the last of the food in the kitchen and Travis followed him with their bags. As they headed upstairs to Jersey’s room, Travis felt a mild case of nerves set in.

He’d been thinking about Jersey’s comments for hours, but once they were alone, would they just get right to it? What had Jersey even meant when he’d said “tonight”? Did he mean Travis would get to see him in some tight briefs or had he meant more? Was he already wanting to step up their relationship to the next level? Was Travis even ready for that? Sure, he’d been turned on beyond belief earlier, but maybe because he’d asked to stay the night, Jersey had thought that was code for wanting sex.

“No, we’re not having sex tonight,” Jersey said.

Travis looked up, startled. Had he been thinking out loud?

“Your forehead was all scrunched and your eyes looked like they were a million miles away. Maybe also the fact that you basically turned into a statue the second you stepped through the door.” He gestured to Travis’s position. “I figured something was on your mind.”

Travis had his arms curled around their bags, and apparently, he’d stopped moving. He’d taken maybe two steps inside the door but his feet were rooted to the ground while Jersey had already kicked off his flip-flops and was sitting on the edge of his bed.

“Sorry,” Travis said and consciously moved over to deposit their things on the bed. He kicked off his own shoes and sat next to Jersey.

Jersey studied him for a moment. “I know I got a little down and dirty with the suggestive behavior earlier.” He sighed and dropped his gaze to his lap, folding his hands between his thighs and hunching his shoulders. “I’m not very good at this, huh? I keep rushing and jumping the gun, treating what we have like I have other things in the past. I know I said I’d try not to do that and I’d try to make what we have different, but old habits, I guess. I’m sorry. I know you were just playing and being sweet, thinking about me like that.
