Brent felt the body next to his and wondered who the hell he’d asked to come home with him. It wasn’t like him to bring guys to his place. He didn’t want the commitment, and he didn’t want to spend the energy getting them to leave.

He shifted and opened his mouth, wishing he hadn’t drunk so much. His tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth, and it felt as though he had to pry it loose. Memories of the night before fought through the tequila haze, teasing his mind. Jake. He cracked open his lids then slammed his eyes closed immediately as pain blasted through his brain.

He’d had too much to drink and so had Jake. They’d had sex. Glorious sex, which had left him feeling like he’d won the lottery. Fuck, he’d probably ruined their friendship again. Maybe he could play it off, blaming the alcohol so Jake didn’t hate him.

Somehow he managed to get out from under Jake’s arm and slide out of bed. He grabbed his clothes but the underwear in his pile of things wasn’t his. His underwear was beside the bed. He picked up the pair, wondering how it had gotten all the way over there.

Jake snorted and rolled away from him. Brent’s heart squeezed as guilt filled him. How had he allowed himself to take advantage of Jake? Not only had he fucked up the last time, he’d screwed everything up this time.

Brent stopped by the bathroom to dress before he headed downstairs to start the coffee. His stomach wasn’t too happy with him, but he needed to eat something. Before leaving home, he’d packed a few necessities like oatmeal. He made himself a bowl and settled in front of the window with his coffee mug and bowl of warm food. He already had his first bite loaded on his spoon when Jake came downstairs wearing the same clothes he’d been in the day before.

Brent set the spoon in the bowl and stood. Worry filled him, and he had a hard time meeting Jake’s gaze. When Jake had been touching him, he’d known what would happen.

“Listen, I—”

Jake moved quickly and wrapped his hand behind his neck, holding him still. Their gazes met and Brent sucked in a breath. Passion shone in Jake’s depths. His friend closed the distance between them, their lips smashing together.

Brent let go a shuddering breath then put one hand on Jake’s hip, too afraid to put his other hand on the man. Jake stepped even closer, his arms wrapping tighter around him.

The kiss ended, and Jake didn’t step away. He rested his forehead against Brent’s and sighed. Brent’s emotions were all over the place. Hope had caught fire and was burning hot, but he didn’t want to get too excited.

“Thank you,” Jake whispered.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean—”

Jake placed his fingers on Brent’s lips. “Don’t apologize for what we did. It was wonderful.”

He couldn’t believe the words he was hearing. The bubble of excitement inside grew bigger. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah, I’m sure.
