Chapter 4 Seth
Fuck. Seth burst out of the phonebooth like it housed a pack of wolverines. He had to get away from Carson before he did or said something he couldn’t take back. How had they gotten into this mess? Sure, it’d been his idea, but Carson usually nixed his more preposterous ideas. And this was his most preposterous idea yet.
He was never getting married. That was what he’d always said. Not because gay marriage was only legal in a handful of states when he first came out. Not because he couldn’t settle on a single guy. But because he could only settle on a single guy. Carson. It’d always been Carson. And now he was supposed to marry Carson, but only for money. Only for pretend.
It’d seemed like a pretty slick trick until he realized that the two of them living together in close quarters with the pretense of a marriage to keep up meant not sleeping with other men. And sleeping with other men was the only way he kept himself from jumping on his best friend every time he saw him. Living with Carson—horny and desperate—and not touching him? No way he could do it.
But this new idea of Carson’s, the one where they fucked around with each other as part of their fake marriage, was even worse. Seth might be a brilliant actor, but how was he supposed to pretend that he was only pretending to feel exactly what he actually felt? And how was he supposed to get a taste of what he wanted and then let it go again?
Back when they were sixteen, he’d been on pins and needles coming out to his best friend—his best friend he’d always had a crush on—only to have Carson casually come out to him in return. But Carson had already been with Allie by then, and by the time that relationship ended five years later, it’d been too late. Seth had been all the way friend-zoned by then.
So he fucked other guys while lusting after Carson in his heart, and that had been working fine until the money came along and he conceived the brilliant idea of getting married, which Trisha and Leslie were waiting to witness. How the fuck was he supposed to get himself out of this? He raked his hand through his hair, undoing whatever Carson had just done to fix it as he paced back and forth outside the booth.
“I didn’t realize it would be such a horrifying prospect.” Carson had followed him out of the booth, but he was still leaned up against it, watching him pace. “I’m not your type, huh?”
“What?” Seth stopped pacing to face him.
“Or is it because I get too anal about things?”
“Is what about you getting too anal?”
“That the thought of having sex with me has you running for the hills.”
“Geez, Carson.” How could Carson possibly be insecure? With those soulful brown eyes and that build? He was exactly Seth’s type—the type which could be categorized as “Carson, population one.
