INTRODUCTION

Charlie (“Chase”) Rhodes

I HAD a boyfriend.

Some people might describe him as prickly, but I knew his demeanor was a defensive strategy to keep anyone from getting close enough to hurt him. Six months into our relationship, Adan and I had kept up our “no serious conversations” pact. That meant he didn’t talk much about his family, but I gathered they weren’t close. And I couldn’t help but notice that though we spent every weekend together, he hadn’t ever said we needed to make an appearance at a friend’s birthday or a celebration dinner or whatever, indicating to me that after more than two years living in New York, he hadn’t made any friends. So it wasn’t hard to figure out that he held himself apart from everyone around him.

I understood that outlook. I’d had to force myself not to hide away from the world for a long time after Scott left. If it hadn’t been for my mother telling me the pain would pass, my sister calling and saying the best way to get over a man was to get under another one, and Selina dragging my ass out to interact with our friends, I could have ended up just as walled off as Adan.

So because I understood, I didn’t mind being patient while he learned to trust me and navigated his way around being in what I was sure was his first relationship. I don’t want you to think it was all a huge sacrifice for me. The reality was that I was amused by his lewd come-ons, I was in awe of his intelligence and drive, he was great in bed, and he was fun to be around.

Which brings me to the next picture in the album: me and Adan in bed. No, it’s not a sex picture. He’s helping me fly. Adan is lying on his back with his legs and arms up at ninety degree angles and his feet and hands facing the ceiling; I’m stretched out with my legs and arms straight out, my hips resting on the bottoms of his feet, and my fingers twined with his for support. He said all I needed was the cape to look like Superman. And I thought the way he made me feel was more amazing than any superpower.
