Carter’s heart flipped over in his chest.

Did they have a chance? Maybe after the show was over, he could find a way to convince Rip to give it a try? Carter’s stomach twisted into a knot of anxiety as he tried to figure out the perfect way to bring it up.

Cam teased Rip a little more about “suffering through” the Cirque du Soleil show, and then they split off from the group.

Now was Carter’s chance.

His glasses started to slip, and he pulled them off to polish them on the hem of his shirt.

Then he put them back on.

They immediately slipped again.

He started to push them up higher on his nose, but Rip captured his hand, twining their fingers together and laughing.

“What’s wrong, babe?” Rip asked, bringing those fingers up to his lips and kissing them. “You’re a bundle of nerves. Did I get it wrong? I thought you were into this Cirque du Soleil thing.”

“I totally am,” Carter said, thrilled all over again, despite himself. He really did want to see the show, regardless of any potential ulterior motives Rip might or might not have for taking him.

And okay, the sweet/erotic finger-kissing thing Rip was doing may have upped his thrill factor a little bit, too.

“But, um, I thought you weren’t into it?” he said, feeling a little breathless.

“I’m into you, Carter,” Rip said, giving him one of the slow, sexy smiles that made him want to melt.

That made him want to believe.

“But for how long?” Carter blurted, the whole belief/hope infusion temporarily overriding his nerves. “You know, with the boyfriend thing…?”

Rip gave him that smile again. “Didn’t you already say yes to being my first, last, and only?” he asked, backing Carter into a semiprivate alcove. His eyes dropped to Carter’s mouth, and his voice went all low and sexy as he added, “Because I’m pretty sure that works for me.”

Carter was dying to ask whether Rip meant “first, last, and only” option one or option two, but then Rip kissed him—tucked away where no one was likely to get a picture for the fan page, where it felt real—and as soon as Carter was in his arms, it felt like maybe he didn’t have to ask at all.
