He actually didn t know what to think. He d hoped his aunt would be cool, but there
was truly no way of knowing. He hadn t seen her in years. The only thing he remembered
was a time she d come by the house and tried to get his mom into rehab. His dad had come
home and that was the end of that. Aunt Kris had been banned from the house and his mom
went on benders while his dad was out of town.
People can surprise you, Ray agreed.
Piper wondered what Ray and his aunt had talked about when he d been upstairs. He
looked at Ray out of the corner of his eye. The man was so strong, his hands big against the

steering wheel. Piper could admit that he wanted to feel them on his body. What would
Ray s skin taste like?
God, he shouldn t be thinking these things. At least not right now. They were going to
his house where his dad could be. That right there was enough to make Piper s cock
uninterested in anything but shrivelling up.
I m sorry.
For what? Ray looked confused.
For everything. You have a life, yet here you are tangling yourself in my big mess.
I want to be here, Ray attested.
What did he do to deserve this big strong man? Nothing.
Yeah, but I m pathetic. Piper sighed and looked out of the window, disgusted with
himself.
Enough of that. There is more to you than your family, and I want to find out about it.
I want to know what you re studying in college. I want to know where you work. What you
do in your spare time. All of that, and more. I also want to know if you ll go on a date. With
me that is. My work schedule is crazy, but I always have Sunday off. That gives you a week
to get settled.
Piper looked at Ray in disbelief. Was this really happening to him? This gorgeous man
wanted to go out with him? An admitted screw-up who d almost done the most stupid thing
in the universe by trying to off himself? He had issues, most of them self-esteem related. He
knew that in his head, and his heart had to catch up.
I think
Don t think. Not yet. You got a cell?
The change in topic threw him for a second.
Yes. Of course.
Great. We ll programme my number in it. You can call me whenever. I might not
always be able to answer, but you can let me know sometime this week if we re on for next
Sunday. I don t want to be all pervy. I know you have things to work out. I just want to be
there too. Now, I m just driving aimlessly here where do your parents live?
Shoot. Right. God, I m so Piper stopped when Ray frowned at him. Okay then,
they live on Forest Park Boulevard.
Did you go to North Side?

No, Dwenger, why?
We just live so close together and you re around Rach s age. God, I feel like a perv
saying that, but you are, and I was thinking we could have met before this.
Things might have been different if we had.
I don t know, I think you needed me now. If you d been Rach s friend I might have put
you in the do not touch column. But I found you and I m keeping you. Shit, that sounds bad
too.
I like it and I like you.
Good. Then let s get you settled. When do you work next?
I m a waiter at Roberto s. A new place out at Jefferson Pointe and I m not on schedule
until tomorrow. I have class in the morning.
They pulled up in front of the house. It looked the same as always, but he was different.
The front door opened and his mother stood there. Sam was behind her, peeking out. He
really didn t want to do this, but if he wanted his stuff now was the time. He wasn t coming
back here.
It didn t look like his dad was home so hopefully it would go smoothly and they could
be done soon. He had a small stash of cash that he wanted to make sure was still there.
What are you wearing? His mom snapped out.
Piper looked down he d forgotten about the skirt. He smiled. He d forgotten about the
skirt!
What re you grinning at, fag?
The hateful words coming out of his brother s mouth made him stumble, the smile
gone.
Don t listen to him, babe. Let s get your stuff and get out of here, kay?
Piper didn t speak, he couldn t. He just nodded. He wished he was back at Ray s house.
The warmth there made him feel welcome. This place was full of cold. Not like the Carr
home where everyone seemed to laugh and love unconditionally. What would it have been
like to grow up where someone gave a shit?
Where do you think you re goin ? his mom slurred.
