THE BEACH HOUSE

way down the beach toward the rock.

He looked around at the few others on the beach but no one seemed to pay any attention to them. He’d not been used to holding hands with another guy, but he found he liked it.

“I brought a Frisbee with me,” John said.

“You gonna play with the dog?”

“Yeah, and you. I thought we could do a three-way.” John laughed. “It’s the only way I’ll do one.” Mason felt his entire body heat. He knew he was beet-red. “I-uh.”

John stopped on the beach and turned Mason to him. “It was just a joke. It’s okay.”

“But-but I have,” he said softly, looking away. “In the past.” Fingers brushed his cheek. “What happened in your past doesn’t have to affect us, you know. I’m not offended that you were in a threesome before. I just don’t share. Ever.” He exhaled, deciding he’d overreacted, as usual. “It was just once and I was pretty out of it at the time.” John reached for his hand again. “Shall we continue?” He nodded. “I’m not very good at throwing a Frisbee. I did it maybe once or twice as a kid. I was pretty uncoordinated.”

“No worries. Mandy can’t throw either.” Mason laughed, feeling better. “At least I’m not alone then.” The beach was a little more crowded closer to the rock and when Mason saw families with children playing in the ocean, he expected John would let go of his hand. He didn’t. Mason noticed a little girl of maybe six or seven staring at them. She stood next to a woman, probably her mother, who was lying on a towel reading a paperback.

“Mommy, those men are holding hands,” she said loudly.
