Chapter Twelve

Isaac

So is this how it’s going to be?” I snapped the second I stepped into the electrical room in the small animal building and my eyes searched out Maddox. He was leaning over some kind of piece of equipment that I knew had something to do with the automatic waterers that each habitat included. “I’m not a freak, you know!” I practically yelled.

Maddox straightened and eyed me but didn’t say anything.

Which only served to piss me off even more.

It’d been two days since he’d discovered my secret.

Two whole days.

And he hadn’t said even one single word to me about it. He hadn’t said even one single word to me at all.

He’d talked to Newt a few times when he’d stopped by the house to check on him the day following the seizure, and he’d said hello in passing to Sawyer and made conversation with Nolan and Dallas.

But me…

He’d ignored me like I… like I didn’t even exist anymore.

“It’s totally normal!” I spit out. “A lot of guys do it. Straight ones and gay ones,” I insisted. Some of my fire began to die off the more Maddox stared at me. But the humiliation made it impossible for me to keep my mouth shut. “And it’s not like you had any right to find out like you did… or at all!” My throat closed up when he suddenly began walking toward me. To my horror, I started backing up at the same time, but I couldn’t stop talking.

“You’re just embarrassed,” I insisted. “You kissed a guy and you liked it and you can’t deny it and now you find out he… he…”

Jesus, what the hell was happening to me? I’d come down here full of righteous indignation and with a plan to rip him a new one, but one look at his hard eyes and tight jaw and I was a blubbering mess.

Where was the man who’d spoken so sweetly to Newt? Where was the guy who’d held me in his arms and called me baby and taken care of me? And why the hell had I let that happen? Why had I let myself believe he’d be different? And why in the name of all that was good and holy hadn’t I remembered I was wearing the underwear until it was too damn late? I never, ever wore them when there was even the smallest chance my secret could be discovered, choosing instead to wear them in private and only for short stints at a time–long enough to get what I needed out of them. But I’d needed the security and confidence the pretty underwear never failed to bring me after the devastating kiss Maddox had laid on me the night before, so I’d worn them despite the risk.

“You’re the one with the problem,” I yelled, even as my voice broke a bit. “You’re so narrow-minded and uptight and controlling—”

I stopped talking when my back hit the wall behind me. Maddox kept coming at me. He had some kind of tool in his hand.
