have been every other guy in any gay bar in this city. Was Eli aware he had a gay cut? Maybe it was trendy… but wasn’t metrosexuality out now?

Eli’s outfit seemed to tell him metrosexuality was still in, as he was wearing tailored Armani slacks and a needlessly expensive silk button-down shirt of bright green, blue, and red vertical stripes, the shirt open at the collar so you could see the silver necklace with the small cat pendant.

Was it supposed to be a leopard? It was a detail-free silhouette, a drop of liquid mercury; it could have been any cat.

“Roan,” Eli said, his voice both flat and slightly edged with sarcasm.

“It seems your… assistant thinks I’m here to cause trouble.”

Roan leaned against the doorjamb, fixing him with a caustic glare that he hoped would scare him off. “You don’t cause much else.”

Eli attempted to chuckle, but it sounded forced and false. “People say the same thing about you.”

“In my case, it’s true. And if you don’t want some, turn around and leave.”

Half of his mouth quirked up in what might have been a genuine smile. “I like that, that’s good. You should be an action hero.”

“Five seconds, then I physically throw you out.”

He raised his hands in a warding-off gesture, as if Roan was physically advancing on him right now. Filtered sunlight coming through the blinds glinted off his platinum Rolex and a chunky gold and ruby pinky ring he always, inexplicably, wore. Roan thought it made him look like a Mafia don’s kept boy. “Look, I know you don’t like me, but this is no way to treat a client, is it?”

Roan straightened up, feeling muscles tense across his shoulders. “I told you to get out.”

“This isn’t a joke,” Eli continued, ignoring him. “It’s time to do something for your community, Roan.” He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a check, which he held up like a shield. “I want to hire you.”

If this was a joke, it was a really poor one.
