He could panic, and that panic might leave him shoving whatever feelings had made him kiss Zach as deep down as they’d go, and pretend it had never happened. If he did that, he wouldn’t want a reminder around. Things would be awkward at best between them, and completely over at worst.
Zach sighed.
It definitely wasn’t going to help that he’d run away, either. Maybe Flynn had been relieved, but maybe he’d beenhurt, and Zach wasn’t sure what to do now.
The urge to text him and tell him that he’d been surprised and confused, but not upset, was overwhelming.
On the other hand, that meant revealing that hewasn’tupset, that he was thrilled by the idea of trading up to the kinder, hotter brother, and what kind of monster did that make him, anyway?
Why would Flynn even beinterestedin someone his brother had unceremoniously discarded the night before their wedding? Rushed as it was, Zach had been convinced that it was really what Aiden wanted.
So his judgement in relation to that particular family was obviously a little off.
An unhappy sound welled up in Zach’s chest, his stomach knotting up now that the initial rush of lust had been taken care of. What if he lost Flynn? Flynn, who’d quickly taken a place as one of the best parts of his life, who’d taken care of him, who…
Well, Zach didn’t exactlyneedhim, but it would have been nice to keep him all the same. Not just because it’d save having to answer uncomfortable questions from his grandma, either.
He liked the way Flynn smiled. He liked the way he laughed.
HelikedFlynn, and liked being around him, and the thought of losing that made his stomach turn. And there was absolutely nothing he could do about it, because Flynn would feel how he felt no matter what Zach did or said, and he had no idea how thatwas.
He was so screwed.
