THE ENTIRE drive home from the movie, Drake and I laughed and talked about the film. We’d enjoyed it, and Rocket Raccoon was our favorite character. By the time we pulled up in front of his aunt Millie’s house, my face hurt from laughing so hard. When was the last time that had happened?

But what really blew my mind was when Drake sat sideways in his seat and laced his fingers with mine. All night I’d done my best to be respectful of his wish to go slowly even though what I most wanted to do was jump his bones.

“I had a great time,” he said, leaning against the headrest. His lingering gaze made me tremble. “Are you cold?”

“Maybe a little,” I lied. I couldn’t admit he drove me crazy and made me want to strip him naked. He wasn’t like the other boys I’d been interested in. He was different. Special.

“Then let’s go in,” he said.

I held his hand, refusing to let him go. “Not yet.”

A slight blush reddened his cheeks. He clearly liked my answer. “Okay.”

We sat in silence, relishing the weight of each other’s hand. Drake skimmed his fingers across my palm. The light, feathery strokes made me gasp, and when he scratched his fingernail across my flesh, I held my breath.

“What’s going on?” I hadn’t meant to voice the question, but it leaped from my lips before I had a chance to stop it. “Between us, I mean.”

He smiled, shrugging. “I don’t really know, to be honest. It’s been downright strange. But a good strange, if that makes any sense.”

It did, and I told him as much with my smile.

“I’ve never met someone like you.”

“Well, I am a truly unique individual,” I said with a grin.

He squeezed my hand and gave me the stink eye. “I’m tryin’ to have a serious conversation here.”

“What makes you think I’m not serious?” I asked, pretending to be offended. “I really am one of a kind.” Drake’s blank stare informed me he was about two seconds away from letting go of my hand. I gripped onto him even tighter and grinned. “And you’re pretty unique too.”

“Really?” he asked. Why did he sound so surprised? “You’re not just sayin’ that?”

“Not at all,” I replied with a firm shake of my head. “Why do you ask?”

He twisted his lips in thought before responding. “I guess I’m just used to the boys back home. In Dallas there seem to only be two types of gay teens. The oversexed party boy or the undersexed closet case. Neither of which is all that attractive.” Even though he still held my hand, he switched his gaze from me to the night beyond the windshield, as if the past he had left behind stretched out before us. “I didn’t quite fit in with other kids at my school.”

“Did they bully you because you’re gay?” The thought of anyone pushing Drake around riled my warlock temper. I had half a mind to put a hex on his last high school.
