Chapter SIXTEEN

Robby

Robby’s eyes burned as he stared at the text Xander sent him a minute ago.

Xander: Matt out sick today.

There was no chance he would cry. He wasn’t sure he even could these days. The burning in his eyes just meant he’d gone too long without blinking.

Sending back a thumbs up emoji acknowledgement, he shoved the phone back into his pocket. Anxiety latched its cold fingers into his chest, and he rubbed at his sternum as if it might help release the icy hold.

Matt had never called out sick. Not once in more than a year. He knew for a fact the man had come to work with bronchitis and even the flu once. Xander told him he’d tried to send Matt home those days, but it always came down to money. Matt insisted he needed it to take care of his kid.

But today? The day after he had slipped a tongue in the guy’s mouth? The day after he’d pressed his erection against Matt’s own? Today things were bad enough to risk losing eight hours’ pay.

He tapped his clipboard against his forehead.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

Why had he let himself indulge in their kiss?

Matt had made it crystal clear he wanted to be friends. He needed time to figure out his feelings. Even worse, he’d crossed a line with his baby’s mama once, and it had destroyed a friendship he’d had for years. Any bond Robby had with him was in its infancy. No way it could survive the same kind of regret.

He paced the confines of the small construction trailer.

What had happened last night wasn’t nearly as catastrophic as what went down with Matt’s old BFF. After all, those two had gone fully horizontal. Still, he’d agreed to honor Matt’s boundaries, then crashed right through them.

What should he do? How could he know whether to trust the attraction he felt burning between them?
