AS ALWAYS, he has a choice. There is yes, and there is no. He should say no. He wants to want to say no. But what he really wants is to say yes. His gaze tracks the blur of a fish leaping from the water. The tiny splash it makes when it disappears beneath the surface. He thought that he was over this, that he came to grips with the line he was about to cross. It’s not like he hasn’t been expecting this all day.

Now the moment is here, and he feels frozen. He can’t say yes just because he’s worried about a “no” hurting Jackson. But isn’t that an answer in and of itself? He likes him so much, cares so much about him, that he wants to help him. He wants to see Jackson as he would be had assholes not trampled all over him in his past relationships.

Does that desire—which shows his own feelings for the man—outweigh the potential negatives? Will Aaron end up with his own heart broken at the end of this vacation? It’s less than two weeks now, he thinks. A person can’t fall in love in so short a time. At the most he’ll become infatuated. And surely that will fade quickly once they leave.

This started as a job, and now it’s most definitely not. By telling Georgina to keep the money, he’s already made a decision, really. He’s never been one to waffle over what he does. Overthinking never does anyone any good.

“You don’t need to explain again,” he says slowly, finally turning to look at Jackson. The man looks seconds away from bolting. His teeth are sunk into his bottom lip, and he’s chewing nervously. Aaron reaches out with his free hand, brushes his thumb over the plump flesh until Jackson’s teeth let go and his lips part on a sigh. There are little dents where he’s abused the skin. Aaron rubs them. “You’ve got to stop biting your lips.”

Jackson’s tongue peeks out slowly, grazing over his finger before retreating. Aaron releases a heavy exhale. His cock twitches in his shorts. He hasn’t been this eager since he was in his teens.

“I’m going to say let’s do this,” he says. “I told your sister to stop paying me. That’s a line I’m not willing to cross. But I want it to be clear that should this become more than either of us can handle, the option to stop is always there.”

“It won’t,” says Jackson, face set in stubborn lines. “I’m not ready to let feelings get involved in anything just yet. And like I said, you’re going back to California. Living on opposite sides of the country isn’t conducive to a joined future.” He smiles broadly. “This is going to be different. We’re going to have fun.”

Fun, in the context Jackson means it, is something Aaron hasn’t had in a long time. Maybe, if he’s careful, this will be a helpful experience for him too. If it proves to be too much, he can always back out.
