“I wanted to kill him,” Ethan said in the darkness of the bedroom. They lay naked under a shared blanket, a nice breeze flowing in through the half-open window.

“All those times we all got together, and he was making Chris do those... things behind our backs. He swore to me that he was cool with him. Fucking liar.”

“He’s hurting,” Anthony said, finding it hard to defend Jay, yet feeling obligated considering Chris had somehow forgiven him.

“Don’t defend him. You know I’m not overreacting.”

“I’m not saying you are, but Chris asked you to speak with him, and I think you should.”

Ethan remained silent, but his heavy breathing made it clear he was still upset. Unfortunately, Anthony was about to upset him even more. If Ethan were to join them on Fire Island, he needed to hear what had happened all those months ago.

“I’m going to tell you some things,” Anthony said, weighing each word. “Promise to listen until I’m done. I didn’t want to ever tell you this, but it feels like I don’t have much choice.”

“Why didn’t you want to tell me?”

“I made a lot of mistakes, and I don’t think you’ll look at me the same once you hear them. But you should still know what happened.”

What I allowed to happen.

Ethan moved closer under the blanket. “Okay. I’m listening.”

Anthony was startled when Tobias showed up without a warning at his place of work. He hadn’t told Tobias the address, and they had yet to meet outside of The Gentlemen’s Club. In the last few weeks, the club had become like an alternative universe; a twisted fairyland that Anthony couldn’t stop gravitating toward.

Tobias stepped into the house wearing a polo shirt, the first time Anthony had seen him without a formal suit or simply naked. It made him seem less like a mythical creature who roamed the club at night.

“Do you work here alone?” Tobias asked.

“I… yes, today I’m alone. How did you know where I work?”

“And why wouldn’t I know that?”

“I never told you the address.”

“Correct.” Tobias walked around the living room, brushing his fingers over furniture and tools.

“I’m rebuilding most of this floor,” Anthony said, too uncomfortable to be quiet. “I took down a wall because it blocked the sunlight, and I’m building one over there so they could have another guest room.”

“I see.” Tobias stopped in front of Anthony, who was still holding a hammer, his clothes dirty and clinging to his sweaty body.

How am I supposed to act?

This was the real world, where men didn’t walk around with collars, where he wasn’t being fucked until his consciousness hung by a thread. This was uncharted territory.

“You seem good at your job,” Tobias said. “When a man is passionate about his craftsmanship, it shows.”

“Thank you.”

“However, you’ll need to wrap things up for today. We have tickets to see a Broadway show in an hour.”

Anthony frowned. “What?”

Tobias took a step forward, stopping in front of Anthony. They weren’t physically in the club, but Tobias still commanded the room. “Which one of my words confused you?” He added a small smile.
