Rhone pounded down the stairwell, floor after floor, down to the ground level, welcoming the breathlessness that seized his lungs with a sharp burn. He fumed inside, and his hands felt welded into tight fists, ready and willing to hit the first person who looked at him sideways or funny.

He loved Adam more than his own life, but they'd had this discussion about Rhone's heterosexuality before, although never to an explosive level quite that fast. Rhone didn't know what the hell he was supposed to say that would put an end to Adam's fears. Jesus, he was beginning to wonder if he ever could. He'd never walked out on Adam before, and he already felt sick to his stomach, but as he stood there listening to Adam fling imaginary future infidelities against him, Rhone knew if he stayed in that hotel room one second longer, he would say something he could never take back.

You told him you might not marry him tomorrow. That's pretty fucking bad.

“Shit.” Rhone jammed the heels of his hands against the exit door's bar handle and took some measure of satisfaction in the loud clank of metal as the door opened into a hallway near the hotel bar.

“Fuck fuck fuck.” He didn't want to call off the wedding, and he goddamned wouldn't let Adam do it either.

Rhone reached into his jacket pocket for his cell phone and belatedly realized he'd left his jacket back in the hotel room with his coat. He cursed himself again, rounded the corner to head for the nearest elevators, and ran smack into a thick, solid body. Rhone automatically grabbed, and the other man did too. After steadying himself, Rhone looked up from the floor into green eyes he felt he knew, if not the person behind them.

Annie's fiancé. Ex now, Rhone corrected himself.

Ford cleared his throat. “Pardon.”

“No problem. Excuse me.” Rhone moved to go around Ford, but the man blocked his path. Rhone shifted in the other direction, and once again, Ford slid in front of him, cutting off his escape.

“A minute of your time, please.” Ford's voice was cordial, but if his stare conveyed his thoughts, Rhone would be six feet under in a pine box.

Oh great. You caught me at the goddamned wrong time, buddy.

Rhone flashed a predatory smile. “Let me guess.” He was in no fucking mood. “You want to take a crack at me about your girlfriend too.”

“Damn right I want a word with you.” Ford took a quick look around the area and lowered his voice to a hiss. “What in the hell did you say to Annie yesterday?”

“Nothing.” The tethers of Rhone's control stretched his stress points extremely thin. “I didn't say a damn thing.”

“Had to be something,” Ford replied with whisper softness. “One stroll in the woods with you and she's calling off our wedding. I want to know what you said.” A hint of ruthlessness iced his stare. “Right now.”

Son of a bitch. Rhone leaned in and got right in Ford's face.
