Chapter Seven

Colin admired Jordan’s body. He’d seen Jordan nearly nude plenty of times, but that had been in the locker room. This was fifteen years down the road. They’d both changed. Both were stronger, more mature guys. He trailed his fingers down Jordan’s torso. Scars littered his skin.

“You’re battle-tested, aren’t you?” He slid his thumb across one of the silvery lines. “What happened?”

“Guy pulled a knife on me. Outside of Melaro’s Bar. He was drunk and I’d been called to get him out of the bar. My then partner, Delaney, claimed he’d patted the guy down. Wrong.” Jordan shrugged. “He got two good slashes in before I wrestled him to the ground. Sucked, but we got him.”

“I’m sorry.” He continued to caress the line. “We’re different people, aren’t we?”

“What did you expect?” This time Jordan grinned. “I went off to college, got a degree in criminal justice, then went to the academy. I was never meant to play professional ball. What about you? Where’s the soap?”

Colin squirted the blue goo onto the washcloth. He created suds, then wiped them along Jordan’s chest. He’d lived his life but rarely thought about discussing it. “I went to college and got my bachelor’s in finance. The bookstore thing happened because Far wanted to sell comic books, but he didn’t want to be the typical comic book guy. He knew I loved books. I helped him get the place set up, then went to Indiana with Nicolas. We had eight good years together and planned to get married once it was legal to. Well, no, I thought they were good years. He’d have given us seven. The last year he’d been hooking up with someone else. They ran off to Italy, I believe, after they got married. He left me with custody of Gage—not that he was terribly interested in being a dad. Gage and I moved back here to be with Far and to help run the store.”

“What about that group you mentioned? What’s that?” Jordan took the washcloth from Colin. “I’ve heard of it, but didn’t know the people actually met.”

Colin rested his back against the chilly tile wall. “I started the group for gay men who were already parents to get together and talk. You’ve seen the shit we have to put up with. One day that crap will drive me crazy, but it helps to have others who understand what we’ve been through. I tried to expand the group and convince the one set of lesbians to come, but they refused. I figure anyone who is gay can be a part of the group, but they weren’t interested.”

“Lesbians don’t come because of gay men.” Jordan snorted, then laughed. “Sorry. Bad joke.”

“That was awful, but I don’t mind.” Colin splayed his hands on Jordan’s belly, then smoothed his palms to Jordan’s sides. “Did—did you ever think about me?” God. That was a stupid question. “I mean, not like, in a romantic way, but…” Oh hell. What did he mean?

“I did.” Jordan pinned Colin to the wall and ground his cock against Colin’s hip.
