Snippet of the Day
Chad’s face hung with a vacancy Alex couldn’t read. Their conversation was strained, almost a sham, the elephant in the room a mockery. This only fueled the guilt that was burrowing through him. Alex felt like he was falling into a deep, dark pit. He couldn’t see his way out, the sides caving in a bit more each day. Chad was so intense, everything about him. He’d stirred things up in Alex that he’d never felt.
Things hadn’t been right since they’d gone to The Lemon Tree. Not realizing it at the time, Alex had been put on the spot. Though the idea of being with Bret was thrilling, he hadn’t taken enough time to think it through. Chad hadn’t pressured him. Maybe Alex was influenced by Chad’s past experience. Did Chad want Alex to explore the outer realm before he asked more of their relationship?
Being with Bret certainly had added to his history book, expanding his horizons, but it had come with a price. What Alex hadn’t planned on was how he would feel after it was over. Was Chad bored with him? Did Alex satisfy him? Did Chad want to see Bret again, but was afraid to admit it? The questions swarmed in his head like stinging bees. He couldn’t stand the tension. Chad’s gruff words sliced through him.
“Get over here. I’m sick of all this waiting.”
Alex walked around the bar, his legs liquefying. Chad grabbed his waist, pulling him close. His beer-battered breath hit his lips. Chad spun them around, pushing their bodies. Their feet stumbled across the carpeting. Alex’s back hit the bookcase. His body tightened in alarm. Alex felt his eyes flutter in shock. He squeezed them closed, not wanting Chad to see his troubled expression.
There were words that needed to be said, questions that should be asked and answered. Their lack of communication was chipping away at them. Chad thrust his hips into him, provoking a flame they’d once ignited. Chad gripped his arms, pushing him away, his eyes dark and leering.

“What the hell is happening? You done with me, Hayes?” Chad’s jaw tensed beneath his shadowed growth. His eyes quickly darted between Alex’s. “If that’s the case, why don’t you be a man and just say it?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Alex gasped, trying to buy more time.
