Chapter Eleven

Alex

The drive to Shiloh’s house is quiet. Our hands are linked between us, my thumb smoothing along his skin. Occasionally, he’ll squeeze my fingers and we’ll glance at each other, smile, and look away.

Is he asexual?

Does it matter to me either way?

The way I feel when I’m around him is better than any sex I’ve ever had. Which is saying a lot. It makes me think of that hypothetical question I asked Ruben about choosing love or amazing sex. As I hold Shiloh’s hand, seeing that shy smile tug at his lips each time our eyes meet, I think I’d choose this feeling over and over again.

A light’s on in the house when we pull in to the driveway.

“My dad’s home,” Shiloh says, cutting the engine. “Hope that’s okay.”

“Of course it is.” I unfasten my seat belt. “Parents love me.”

“Can’t imagine why.” But he smiles as he says it. Teasing me again.

We get out of the car and follow the sidewalk up to the front porch. The house is more modern, less farmhouse-style than mine. The squared windows are tall, and the angles of the roof and siding are sharp, perfectly symmetrical. Shiloh unlocks the door.

“Dad?” he asks as we step inside.

“In here,” a voice comes from the other room.

I follow Shiloh through an open archway into the living room. Several lamps are on, giving the room a warm, inviting glow. A total Daddy is sitting in the recliner watching TV, and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. He has short dark hair, slight stubble on his jaw, and square black-framed glasses.

“Hey, kiddo,” Hot Daddy says to Shiloh, then looks at me. He stands up and approaches us. Shiloh definitely got his height from him. He must be at least six foot two. “You must be Alex.”

“Yep. That’s me.” I shake his hand. He has a firm grip.

“I’m Landon. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“Yeah?” I smile at him before looking at Shiloh and gently bumping his arm. “What has Shi said about me?”

“That’s confidential,” Landon says, his lips twitching.

The TV snags my attention. Two dudes are sitting at a bar, drinking after a stressful day on the job. They’re detectives. One is closeted, and the other is openly gay.

“I love this show,” I blurt out. “This was a great episode. I won’t spoil anything, but I love how their relationship progresses. You can tell, even in this scene, that Mike really cares for Garrett. Not just sex, ya know?”

Landon’s eyes widen a fraction.

Shiloh’s brow wrinkles as he looks at the TV. “The main characters are gay?”

“Mhm. It’s amazing, right?” I respond. “You should watch it. There are some hot sex scenes too. Well, as hot as they can show on TV. There’s one scene where they’re in the shower, and Mike throws Garrett against the wall and bites his neck as they go at it. So sexy.” I realize I’m saying this in front of Shiloh’s dad, so I snap my mouth shut. “But anyway. Nice weather we had today.
