Opposite them, a mountain of a man was talking to Travis while Kylie and the woman who had come with the guy were talking with Gage close by. What the hell was the guy’s name? He couldn’t remember.
Looking around, he tried to locate Ethan, but he was nowhere in sight, although Beau knew he was there. He’d seen him when he arrived, but he knew Ethan was trying to avoid him like the plague, which actually wasn’t all that surprising. Not that Beau was in the chasing mood at the moment. If Ethan wanted to play these cat and mouse games, Beau was willing to sit back and wait for him to get tired of running.
“Hey, how’s it going?” Sawyer asked when he walked up holding a beer in one hand while a gorgeous blonde cuddled up to his side.
“Good. You?”
“Not too bad,” Sawyer said with a mischievous grin. “Beau, meet Andrea. Andrea, this is Beau.”
Beau nodded his head at the woman. Knowing Sawyer, she’d only be an ornament for a little while longer, so there was no reason for him to make small talk, nor would he need to try and remember her name. They didn’t stick around long these days.
“Have you seen Greyson?” Sawyer asked, turning to face the crowded room.
Beau nodded his head toward the far corner of the room. Greyson hadn’t wasted any time getting the party started tonight. After all, this was supposedly some sort of taboo sex resort and Greyson was all about the taboo. And the sex. Or at least that’s what Beau suspected based on the way he’d been groping his date since they walked in the door.
“Thanks. I’ll catch you later.”
Beau didn’t bother with a goodbye. Sawyer was moving at a fast clip toward the wall where Greyson had a sexy brunette plastered against the wall, her hands captured above her head in one of Greyson’s while he was pressing a knee between her spread thighs.
Based on the action that was quickly heating up around him, this was evidently going to be the theme for the night. He was almost disappointed that he hadn’t brought a date with him, but ever since that one night with Zane, the night that he realized his entire life had been a lie, Beau hadn’t been interested in seeking out anyone. Not to mention the disaster of a date he’d had right after he helped Zoey and Kaleb move into their house. His first official date with a guy was certainly not something he wanted to remember.
Then again, he had other memories that easily trumped that one. Like the first kiss he’d ever shared with a man. And not just any man.
Holy fuck.
Beau wasn’t sure he’d ever stop thinking about the way Ethan had kissed him, the way he’d pulled him close, or the feel of Ethan’s erection pressing firmly against his. It was the most exquisite, mind-blowing feeling in the world. And that was saying something considering the night he’d been with Zane still lingered on his mind from time to time.
But he knew Zane wasn’t an option.
Then again, if Ethan had his way, Beau wouldn’t have him either.
Despite the music playing from the overhead speakers, Beau heard a noise behind him, and he turned to see Brendon, Jessie and Braydon in an interesting state of undress. There was a small black leather sofa, and the two brothers had Jessie sandwiched between them. What they were doing was evident, although there weren’t any stray body parts visible.
Ok, so if they had meant to keep their threesome a secret, the cat was out of the bag now. Up to this point, Beau had always heard the rumors, even suspected they were true, but seeing it firsthand felt… strange.
Feeling like a voyeur, he turned away quickly.
He chuckled to himself.
Kind of the wrong place to be if he felt uncomfortable witnessing others in intense sexual acts. The night was rapidly progressing as they got closer to the midnight hour, but he couldn’t help but wonder whether anyone would even notice when the clock struck midnight at this rate.
“Where’s Ethan?”
Beau slowly turned toward the voice, his teeth locking together as he did. Cocking one eyebrow, he peered down at Blake Henley, but he didn’t say a word.
“Sorry, man. I figured since you were standing over here all alone, you’d be the one who could direct me.”
Beau wanted to tell Blake to fuck off, but he kept his mouth shut.
“So, have you seen him?”
Swallowing hard, Beau tried not to smash the beer bottle that he was holding with his bare hand. “No.” Forcing the one word past his lips was harder than he thought.
“That figures,” Blake said with a devious smile. “I heard he tries to stay as far away from you as possible.”
Beau wanted to turn away, but he couldn’t seem to get his body to cooperate. Instead, he continued to glare at Blake.
