Chapter 13

DAVY SEEMED shocked but pleased when Gavin stuck around to at least be introduced to Davy’s uncle Drew. Drew had to have known something was off with Gavin’s mood, but he’d been polite and kind. Gavin was surprised how close the man was to their age. The man had been as surprised as Gavin when Davy introduced Gavin as his boyfriend, but like Gavin, Drew had seemed happy to hear Davy was dating someone.

Gavin had no clue why he’d dumped all his garbage on Davy. He felt guilty and vulnerable to the point of being raw, but he also felt light. Ray had shared some of his burden, as had Gavin’s friends. They had all been so great, but Davy—Davy was this unexpected safe place. It had been so easy to share his most humiliating, heartsick moment.

Gavin was coming to find that even in his shyness and awkwardness, Davy was a force of nature with a surprising, quiet strength. As much as he didn’t want to trust how he was feeling, he’d seen the moment when Davy had opened his heart to Gavin, and Gavin had felt his heart tether to Davy’s.

It was fucking scary. But it felt right. Gavin needed a moment to get his thoughts about it together, so he’d bowed out after introductions and drove around the city aimlessly for hours before returning home. He’d steeled his resolve to dive headfirst into what had developed between himself and Davy. And if there was one thing anyone could tell you about Gavin Walker, it was that when he made up his mind, he was stubborn and fought to stay on that path. And the path to Davy had way too much hope on it to make him want to wander off. Gavin was out of his depth. He had gone years without getting emotionally involved with someone in the way he was with Davy, but he had Davy now, and he didn’t want either of them to be alone anymore. More than anything, Gavin didn’t want to hurt anymore, and he didn’t want anyone else to use or hurt the pureness that existed in Davy.

Gavin knew getting to this point had taken a push or two, but he’d meant it when he told Davy he cared about him. Gavin knew that for certain when Davy said he cared too. Gavin had almost flown apart from the joy of the confession. He was filled with hope. Hope… and love.

Gavin sat for a long while in his truck, staring at his grandfather’s house, unable to move at the realization of how much he really had fallen in love with Davy. Not that Gavin was quite ready to say those three words, but the truth was undeniable. They hadn’t just had sex. They’d made love. And it had made Gavin feel more wanted, more special than he knew how to comprehend.

Gavin was finished fighting. He hoped Davy was finished too. But he could wait it out, either way. After all,
