WHEN more guests started arriving, they came in to say hello and swipe a bite of food. Once everything was ready, I started using them as servers, sending out a new dish with each person. After a while, Kurt poked his head into the kitchen.

“Are you going to come out here at all?”

“I’m cooking,” I told him.

“Yes, I know,” he said in that way he had that made me feel stupid. “But perhaps you might want to slow it down and actually enjoy my party.”

“Why?” I sighed. “I only want one thing out of this.”

“To get laid.”

“No, ass,” I snapped. “A date. I want the man to ask me out on a real date.”

“Dating.” He shivered. “And talking… Jesus, why?”

“You did it with Ellie.”

“No, I didn’t, I banged her the night I met her, and it’s convenient, so she sticks around.”

“That’s charming.”

“Why are you glaring at me?”

“Because Ellie loves you, and—”

“Please. Loves me, my ass. Do you know that we had a threesome two nights ago? El likes eating—”

“Oh God, don’t tell me.”

“You’re such a prude, man. Can’t hear about some girl parts?”

“I have no problem with girls,” I assured him. “I just don’t want to see any naked.”

“Yeah, well, we’re thinking that next we’re gonna get a guy.”

“Really.” I humored him since it was crap. “So you got the guy all picked out?”

“Yep, have for a long time. Although I’m not that sure I want Ellie there.”

“Which moves you from bi-curious to gay, my friend.”

He grunted as I drained either my fifth or sixth margarita. But I’d been drinking since four, so it was nice and spread out. I was about to put the glass down when Kurt moved over to me and took it out of my hand, stepping close enough that I had to tip my head back to look at him.

“You want another one?”

“Yeah, I’ll get Shane to do it when he gets back.” I smiled at him while moving away. “Now go mingle, it’s your birthday party.”

“Come out and stand by me.”

“Why?” I whined that time.

“Because I do better when you’re there,” he told me, shrugging. “I don’t say as much stupid shit.”

I gave him a dismissive wave. “Go host already.”

“Please.”

I looked at him, and he was suddenly grinning at me.

And I noticed, as I always did in those unguarded moments when he wasn’t being a complete and total ass, that his gunmetal eyes glowed when he was amused. The short-cropped white-blond hair with the darker highlights, his elegantly shaped brows, and sinful mouth were enough to make a grown man cry. His eyes made the man dangerous, as did the lean muscular body that moved with the fluidity of a dancer. He was the embodiment of carnal pleasure, and he would have made my heart stop if he didn’t know it. But he was more than aware that he was gorgeous and would let you know he knew, and that arrogance coupled with the casual love ’em and leave ’em attitude of his made him less than desirable.
