Chapter 17

After the cool interior of the house, the bright sunlight outside made Matt squint as he stepped onto Kyle’s back porch. The smell and sizzle of grilling burgers filled the air. At the bottom of the porch steps, Jordan stood over the hot grill, a pair of tongs in hand, an unctuous grin on his wide lips. Kyle was nearby, arranging burger buns on a platter. From where he stood on the porch, Matt could see sun-pinked scalp shining through Kyle’s light, thinning hair. It was silly really, to let these two men frighten him. But the wrong word from Jordan could ruin Vic’s life. If anyone else found out about his powers? The source of them?

A strong hand touched the small of Matt’s back—Vic. An instant comfort swelled in him, chasing off the panic that circled his thoughts. In a low growl, his lover muttered, “The sooner we eat, the sooner we can get out of here.”

Matt let Vic steer him toward the porch steps. Noticing them, Kyle wandered over and planted his hands on his hips as he looked them over. “Everything all right?” he wanted to know. “You okay?”

“Yeah,” Matt said. At the slight frown on Kyle’s face, he laughed, a nervous, shaky sound. “Oh, you mean Vic. He’s fine. No harm done.”

Kyle gave Vic a quick smile, relieved. “That’s good to know. I’m sorry it had to happen to you.”

Matt gave his lover a playful nudge in the side. “Vic, hush,” he murmured.

Kyle’s frown was back as he glanced between them. Too late, Matt realized Vic hadn’t spoken out loud. To cover his slip, he descended the steps and leaned toward Kyle, lowering his voice as he asked, “So that’s your new…boyfriend?”

“Jordan?” Kyle’s face cleared; he turned a sunny smile to Matt’s old classmate, but Jordan was busy talking to one of the other guests and didn’t return that grin. Kyle didn’t seem to mind. “What a great guy, I’m telling you. But hey, he says you already know each other?”

Matt felt his blood run cold, and Vic rubbed his back in a soothing gesture as if to ward off the chill. What had Jordan said about him? About Vic?

Before he could respond, Kyle laughed. “Small world, isn’t it? He says you two dated in high school, or something.”

“Or something,” Matt mumbled. He needed a drink, a glass to hold onto, or a can to hide behind. Preferably alcoholic, if that wasn’t asking too much. Frowning at a chunk of white Styrofoam on the sidewalk, all that remained of the cooler, he asked, “Do you have any more beer? Maybe something a little…I don’t know, stronger? I thought I heard something about cocktails.”

At the sudden leer on Kyle’s face, he tried to remember how the invitation had read—had there been a dash or ampersand between the words “cock” and “tail?” That was
