"You did what?"

Skye winced at the sharp, near-screech of Lindy's voice in his ear. "Well, you don't need to make it sound as if I killed someone."

She snorted. "You did. My best friend. Where the hell is my Skye?"

Her Skye. Not anymore. He was Liam's Skye now. Which reminded him, he didn't need his best friend beating him up right now. He was in major trouble.

"It wasn't exactly on purpose, you know. I didn't just decide to fall in love with my gay male escort/teacher/whatever he is." It had definitely not been in the plan, for sure.

Lindy took a deep breath, and he could just imagine her pacing in her West Hollywood apartment. "Well, look. I love you, Skye, but let's look at this realistically. Scientifically, even."

Skye sat up straighter. "All right. Good idea."

"Well, you just lost your virginity. To a very handsome, very skilled--or so you say--man whose job it is to make people want him. To make them feel as though they're the only person in the world when they're with him." She sighed again. "Skye, baby, you're not in love. You're just buying his hype. He did what you paid him to do, which by the way I am still not even believing you did."

Skye raked a hand through his hair. "That's not true. I mean, yes, it's his job and yes, I paid him to do it, but that's not why I feel this way." He didn't think so, anyway. Was it? It felt very real. "It feels very real, Lindy."

"Oh, honey, it's Las Vegas. Nothing is real."

Skye frowned. "When did you become such a cynical bitch?"

"Right about the time my best friend decided to up and leave me for the barren desert and male escorts with magical penises. Penii? What is the plural of penis, anyway?"

"God, as if I know." He dropped back onto the couch. It was the only real piece of furniture in his condo besides the bed. "I really don't think this is some kind of reaction to his pheromones or, as you suggested, buying his 'hype.' I feel it, Lindy. I really do."

There was a pause of silence and then yet another sigh. This one sounded more resigned, though. "All right. Let's say, for funsies, that you are in love with him."

"I am."

"That's what I said. Well, Skye, honey, so what? What could possibly come of it? You're about to start in your new, amazing position at one of the country's most prestigious private aerospace companies. You're going to be building ships to take us into space like a freaking airplane on holiday, for God's sake. Where does a male escort--however gorgeous and possessing of a magical penis he may be--fit in?"

Skye knew the answer, even though he hated it. So he didn't say anything.

"Exactly." She didn't sound very happy to be right.

Skye hated when she was right. He hated it especially now. He didn't want logic and common sense and statistical analysis of the possible outcome of a relationship with Liam.
