The late afternoon sun gilds Adam’s arms as he sits cross-legged on a beach chair by Nigel’s penthouse pool. A melting rocket pop drips red, white, and blue syrup down his wrist, a sticky mess he strangely enjoys. Nigel leans nearby, sunglasses low, watching Adam’s mouth with lazy intensity. Adam feels the gaze, licking the treat slower, his hazel eyes glancing up through lashes, savoring the chill and the heat of Nigel’s attention. A bead of syrup clings to his lip—an invitation. He shifts the chair closer, wondering if Nigel will kiss it away or finish his cigarette first, the summer air thick with anticipation and privacy.
