Chapter 10: Tuesday at the Pub

Kit turned up the heat in the shower and stepped inside. What he really needed was a cold shower after that hot kissing session. He and Max had ended up stretched out on the sofa, entwined like a couple of vines. They hadn’t ended up having sex, but it had taken a hell of a lot of self-control on Kit’s part to keep from begging for it. He thought Max had felt the same, based on the man’s stiff-legged walk once they managed to get back on their feet again.

Now, Kit leaned against the tiles and ducked his head beneath the warm spray, staring morosely at the evidence of his interest in Max Hill. He certainly couldn’t get any sleep with that throbbing like a bass drum. Closing his eyes, he relived the past couple of hours in his mind while he took care of his needs. Max was the best kisser he’d ever met. He just seemed to know what felt good, what would drive his partner to the very edge. Kit had found himself on the verge of climax without a hand touching his most sensitive areas. In fact, if they’d continued their session, he might have come in his pants like a teenager.

He stayed in the shower until the hot water ran out, then lay in bed and tried to get to sleep. All he could think of were Max’s lips on his, Max’s hands roaming over his body. Why did the man have to be so damn good at kissing? And he loved to cuddle. How was Kit going to keep his distance in this pretend relationship with a man like that?

Monday morning came all too early. Kit could barely keep his eyes open as he got Ebon off to school. He managed to take a short nap before work, but was still dragging as he waited tables. When he saw his boss approaching with an odd expression on his face, he was certain he was in for a lecture, but Sam just told him to go into the break room. As he threaded his way between tables, he caught his fellow waiters and waitresses staring at him as well. What the hell was going on? Was something wrong at the school? Had Ebon gotten into trouble?

With a heavy heart, he pushed open the door to the break room, only to see the last thing he’d expected. A bouquet of colorful flowers sat in the middle of the table, topped by a balloon with a cheerful yellow smiley face. The envelope had his name on it. He took a step into the room, feeling the heat from several bodies crowding into the doorway behind him.

“Somebody got lucky,” he heard from the hallway as he opened the envelope.

Tuesday at O’Malley’s Pub? I’ll bet I can beat you at pool.

The card was signed Max, but with an X beneath the signature—for a kiss? Kit stared at the flowers for a moment, then pulled out his phone.
