The Right Move

“And hopefully we won’t give you too much blackmail material.”


“Oh, I definitely didn’t have plans to record the whole thing.”


Trevor snorted. “See if I invite you to game nights.”


“Aww, pretty please?” He batted his lashes, but couldn’t keep a straight face for long.


Trevor laughed, hand reaching out as if he were going to give Chase a friendly shove, but the hand pulled up short, just barely brushing Chase’s shoulder. Grinning, Trevor wobbled as he kept his balance and his smoothie. “Well, since you asked so nice.”


Heat permeated Chase—like a cold chill, but pleasant tingles along his skin, awakening his nerves. With it came an impossibly strong desire to be touched. To be kissed. Or rather, totouch, tokiss. To pull Trevor into a tight embrace and have that broad mass pressed against him. Except that would be an open invitation for Trevor to touch back, and that…that still turned the warm fuzzies into creepy crawlies. He wasn’t ready.
