    Summary

    “What are you asking?”

    “I think you already know,” Buck says, smugly.

    Eddie stares at him. “I think you should assume I don’t.”

    Huffing a laugh through his nose, eyes bright, Buck looks at Eddie with his bottom lip caught between his teeth. The moment drags on long enough to make Eddie’s stomach clench with something that feels dangerously like arousal.

    “Okay, then. I’ll spell it out for you.” He leans in, just a fraction, close enough that Eddie can see the flecks of darker blue in his eyes. “I’m asking what you’re doing later.”

    “Going home,” Eddie deadpans. “With my son. Who attends high school.”

    “After that.”

    “I don’t—” Eddie shakes his head, a laugh scraping out of him that sounds more panicked than amused. “How old are you? And don’t bullshit me.”

    “How old do you think I am?”

    Eddie scans his face, searching for any signs of maturity he can cling to. He could pass for mid-twenties.

    Eddie needs him to be mid-twenties.

    “Twenty-five,” Eddie says. Hopes. Prays, almost, and Eddie hasn’t prayed in years.

    “Twenty-one.”

    “Oh my god.”

    Or,
    Eddie gets more than he bargained for when touring colleges with Chris.
