Chapter Twenty-Nine
Jamie’s mouth droppedopen.Joesph smiled, one eyebrow arched.“Now...if you’ll excuse me.”Joesph pushed between the two men, going into the diner.
“I’m...so, so sorry,” Jamie said, finally coming to his senses, not daring to look at Mike.“Joesph...sometimes...”
Mike turned to Jamie.“May I kiss you?”
“What?”Jamie’s head whipped around, causing his spine to pop.He grabbed the back of his neck.“Holy shit.”He bent over, both hands raised.
“Here, let me.”Mike pulled him upright by the shoulders and began massaging Jamie’s collar.“I didn’t think you’d break your own neck,” he chuckled, his voice low and soft.
Jamie felt his shoulders go stiff and then relax as Mike massaged, none too gently, but moving the muscles there.
“I’d still like to kiss you.”Mike pushed his thumbs up the length of Jamie’s neck, digging in.
“But...I didn’t think...I mean, I...”Jamie sighed, his head falling forward.
“You didn’t think I was gay?”Mike continued his massage.
“No.”Jamie groaned.
“I’m not.”
Jamie stiffened again.
“I’m bisexual.Well, for the most part.”
Jamie took a step away from Mike and turned around to face the man.“Oh no.”He shook his head.“I’m not doing this.”
“Why, because I’m bi?”Mike scowled at Jamie.
“Exactly.I’ve seen this pony show before.Bi men want to mess around with other guys and then run off, get married, pop out a few kids, and then start sneaking around to screw other men.”Jamie took another step back, putting both hands up as if in surrender.“I’m not interested.Nope, not ever going there.”
“If I wanted to have a family, I’d have one by now.”Mike had his hands balled up into fists, down by his sides.“I had that chance and decided it wasn’t what I wanted.”
“And I’m not going down that road.I have no interest in just hooking up.”
“What makes you thinkIam?”Mike almost shouted, his voice guttural, his eyebrows pinched together, his lips a hard line.
