Chapter Seventeen

“Sweet and sour popcorn, as promised,” Wyatt said, handing the bowl over to Kai as he settled down on the couch beside him. Normally, he wouldn’t have bothered to make his own popcorn from scratch—microwave packs tasted fine to him—but it didn’t hurt to impress Kai.

Kai liked to be impressed. Probably because it meant someone was going to a little effort for him, which Wyatt couldn’t exactly fault. He liked it when people went to a little effort, too, and he liked that Kai wasn’t letting him get away with being lazy about this.

That was probably why he liked hanging out with him so much, honestly. Kai kept him on his toes. He wasn’t instantly charmed, he hadn’t fallen for Wyatt’s perfect smile right away and never bothered to look past it.

It was nice to have someone see him for who he was beyond the cheerful outer layer. To have someone understand him.

“You picked out a movie yet?” Wyatt asked, nodding to the black screen.

“I was thinking a nature documentary,” Kai said. “Saves me scaring you off with my terrible taste in movies.”

“Sure, but you haven’t scared me off yet,” he responded.

Kai picked out something about the ocean and hit play anyway, sitting back on the couch and balancing the popcorn between them. “Except for the two times you literally ran away from me.”

“Am I still working on being forgiven for that?” Wyatt asked, taking a handful of popcorn.

“Maybe.” Kai shrugged. “Depends on how you’re gonna work on it.”

Wyatt snorted, but smiled to himself. He liked that Kai didn’t give him an inch.

“We’ll see,” he said, sitting back to learn about the hunting techniques of killer whales. Well, mostly to enjoy the way Kai felt sitting next to him, warm and solid and a little like a wild animal who’d just approached him and was, maybe, about to eat out of Wyatt’s hand.

He doubted many people got to see Kai with his guard down. This was, as far as he was concerned, a magical moment.

They both ate handfuls of popcorn at a time, and sipped a sweet dessert wine that Kai had brought with him, even though he really didn’t need to. He’d raised a judgmental eyebrow at Wyatt and told him that he was brought up to be a good house guest.

It was weird to think of Kai as a house guest, considering Wyatt was mostly thinking about how beautiful he was naked, and all the things he wanted to do to him tonight.

But they weren’t quite… boyfriends or anything either, were they? They were just… colleagues who fucked.

Wyatt didn’t plan on thinking too hard about that. All relationships had this weird phase where no one was sure exactly what they were.

What he was sure of was that he was happy right now.

He was even happier when Kai turned and kissed him, red wine and the sweet-and-sour taste of the popcorn on his tongue. Wyatt hummed into Kai’s mouth, heat flaring in his gut, his hand reaching out to hold Kai in place.
