Chapter 16

??Pup.?? Joey??s voice sounded hoarse. ??I??m sorry. I??m sorry that I hurt you. I know what you said was hard for you. What I??m about to say isn??t easy for me either.?? Joey took in a deep breath and launched himself into the unknown. ??Pup, I??m fucking scared. I mean the feelings I have for you scare the crap out of me. I??ve never felt like this before about anyone. You, well, you??ve stolen my heart. Truth is I didn??t even think I had one to steal.??

??That??s why I dropped you off and sped away. I needed to go for a long ride to clear my head. Then I planned on heading to the pub to pick someone up, go back to his place and fuck his brains out.?? Joey felt Kevin stiffen under his touch.
