Ant gulped his beer, irritated he’d let the bartender’s flirting get to him. Riley’s amusement wasn’t helping either, so he was relieved when Brad came over to distract his fiancé. Harry joined Ant at the bar a few minutes later, giving him something new to focus on.

“So, why are we here of all places?” Harry asked.

“We’re here for the absinthe,” Ant said, nodding toward the table where Chris and Bret sat in intent conversation. Chris had one hand over his mouth to cover a shocked expression, and Ant wondered if he dared to approach.

He regretted walking out on Chris now. He looked gorgeous, as always, but his sex appeal was ramped up to one hundred. Ant couldn’t decide if Chris seemed hotter because his painted-on jeans barely contained his ass or because Ant had been so close to the forbidden fruit. Probably the latter, he decided. Disappointment burned in his gut. Not that he wanted only Chris’s ass. That was the whole problem. He wanted all of Chris: his tight ass, his beautiful face, his smiles, his trust.

One of those things was more difficult to obtain than the others.

Harry groaned. “I can’t go over there yet. Hang with me at the bar?”

Ant turned his attention away from Chris. “I can’t exactly go over there either,” Ant said wryly. “So, sure.”

Harry ordered a beer. Then they took seats a few feet down the bar from the bartender, who Ant was relieved to see had found someone new to flirt with. Once they were settled with their backs to the men causing them grief, Ant asked, “So, I know why I’m in the doghouse. What happened with you and Bret?”

Harry grimaced. “It’s humiliating.”

Ant arched an eyebrow. “Are you sure I’m the guy to commiserate with?”

“We don’t know each other that well. That makes it easier, honestly, but we don’t have to talk about it.” He took a gulp of beer. “Why are you in the doghouse?”

Ant let Harry take the out. “Things with Chris are complicated.”

“Understatement.”

Ant huffed a laugh. “Yeah.”

Harry had been at the poker table when Ant talked to Riley about his few dates with Chris, but Ant felt the need to reaffirm. “I never cheated, but he still won’t let me set the record straight.”

Harry took another drink of beer, looking thoughtful. “So, you really didn’t have anything going with this other guy who burst in on your date? Chris told me the basics of what happened. Sounded pretty damning.”

“I didn’t.”

“Because it would be understandable if you hadn’t yet gotten everything in order. Maybe you were seeing other guys, but you intended to stop? You and Chris had been on a few dates, but you hadn’t slept together or committed to anything. Right?”

Ant rapped the bar with his knuckles, irritated. “You’re not hearing me. Raul was my ex. It was over.”

Harry grinned cheekily. “Sorry. Just had to make sure.”

Ant rolled his eyes and downed the rest of his beer. He plonked it down and lifted a hand to the bartender to get a fresh one.
