military man and walked the straight and narrow path. Had he closed that part of himself off? Once his dad passed away, Josh threw himself into the Army. He did three tours overseas, and

not once had he looked at another man. Now he couldn’t
    fucking stop. He heard the car on the gravel driveway and ran out. Mateo was getting out of the car with a wide grin.
“ Asshole!” Mateo laughed.
     
“ Dick head.” Josh smiled and hugged him. “How ya been?”
    “ Good, really good.” Mateo looked over at Riley and smiled. “So what’s up? You sounded freaked on the phone.”
    “ Josh?” Mark stood on the front porch looking from Josh to…oh God... “Mateo?” It looked like him, the hazel eyes. That face.
Mateo’s eyes went wide. He knew those eyes, those lips. “Mark?”
     
Josh looked from Mark to Mateo confused. “You guys know each other?”
     
Mark made his way closer and looked into hazel eyes. “It is you.”
    Mateo grabbed him and hugged him hard. Mark had been the one guy before Riley that got him, that had made him feel special. That had wanted him. “Oh my God, how have you been?”
    “ Not so good.” Mark hugged him back. They pulled away from the hug and Mark looked Mateo over. Jesus, but he’d gotten huge. “The last time I saw you, you were fifteen. I went to off to college. My Mom and Dad said you’d been adopted.”
    Mateo tried to smile. That had been a rough part in his life, losing Mark then being put back into foster care. “No, not long after you left they told me it wasn’t working out.”
    Mark shook his head. “Of course, they lied to me, why am I not surprised?” Mark caught the eye of the man standing next to Mateo. “God, I’m sorry. We’re just going on and on.”
    “ Shit, Mark this is my husband Riley Flynn-Esposito. Riley this is Mark Patterson. I stayed with his family for a year.”
    Riley was looking from Mateo to Mark, and then his eyes caught Josh’s. He looked like someone had punched him in the gut. “Um, maybe we should take this inside?” Riley smiled and extended his hand. “It’s good to meet you.”
Mark’s eyes went wide. “Riley Flynn of Flynn Electronics?”
    “ One in the same, although I want to change it to Esposito-Flynn, but Mateo won’t let me.” Riley smiled and took Mark’s hand. “Come on, let’s go talk inside.”

    If Josh thought having a hard on for a guy was bad, listening to Mateo and Mark reminisce about the old days was worse. He got the distinct feeling something went on between the two of them back then, and felt his gut dropping. Great, now he was jealous? What the fuck? He felt a hand in his and looked over to see Riley smiling at him. Obviously he wasn’t worried about Mateo and Mark, and it put Josh at ease a bit.
“ So Josh came on his white horse huh?” Mateo winked at Josh and smiled at Mark.
    Mark blushed and looked at Josh. “Yeah, he kinda shocked the shit out of me showing up while I was in the shower.”
    “ I bet.” Riley giggled and covered his mouth. The way Josh was looking at Mark, it was so adorable. “Um, can I steal Josh for a second Mark?”
“ Sure.”
     
Josh looked shocked. He didn’t want to leave Mark alone with Mateo. “Wait, what? Why?”
     
“ Chillax Josh, I’ll watch Mark.” Mateo winked. “ Uh huh, that’s what I’m afraid of.” Josh blinked and his

breath stopped in his throat. Oh shit! I said that out loud. Josh stood there stupefied .
    Riley grabbed Josh’s hand and pulled. “Okay, so we’ll be right back.” Riley dragged him outside by the garage and looked up at him. Josh was blushing in various shades of red, and wringing his hands. Riley smiled. The guy had a crush, a bad one. “Spill it, Montgomery.”
“ Huh?”
     
Riley looked at him, raising a brow. “Oh please. You were looking at Mark all lovey-dovey, like a love-struck

teenager. And the jealousy is just permeating from your
skin. Not to mention, I don’t think you intended to say that to Mateo
