“I think they’re all terrible when you’re in love with someone.”
“Do you know you said that earlier?”
“I might have realized it after the fact. But I really couldn’t take it back in front of your mom.”
“Did you mean it?”
Ollie tips his chin up, brushing his lips against mine. “Yes.”
“Good. Because I really fucking love you.”
“I love you too. You and me in a real relationship.”
“Yeah.” I nod. “I really like the sound of that.”
“It doesn’t make you all growly and grumpy?”
I shake my head. “Fuck, no. Getting to be in love with you, Ollie? Best fucking thing in the world.”
Ollie flips us so my back is on the hardwood floor withhis mouth on mine. I don’t care that it’s uncomfortable. Ollie’s warm kisses are worth any amount of pain.
Until a shudder racks his body.
“As much as I love this, Hunter, I’m cold.”
“You mean you don’t want to make out on the floor in your doorway?”
“Wouldn’t having sex in the bedroom be much better?”
“I’ve turned you into a monster.”
He smiles at me. “One that you’ll have to deal with forever.”
“Damn. What a hardship.”
“However will you deal?”
Pulling him up, I sweep Ollie into my arms and kick the door shut.
“I have a feeling I’ll find a way.”
Epilogue
GRIFFIN - ELEVEN MONTHS LATER
“Trey is cheating on me,” Theo cries, sliding into the booth across from me, Ollie, and Hunter.
“What?” I ask. “I thought things were going great for the two of you.”
Reaching across the table, Theo grabs the drink sitting in front of Hunter and chugs the rest of it down.
“Do you need a drink?” I ask. “Well, one of your own?”
“God, yes.”
At that moment, Charlie walks up to the table and drops down onto the leather seat next to me.
“You okay?” he asks.
