Re: Beau and Nate
"It's been an exercise in restraint," Nate murmured, turning toward the man his eyes had been drawn to far more than he'd like to admit. It would seem that finally admitting his feelings and hopes were making it extraordinarily difficult to be in the same room with Beau and not pull him close. He wouldn't stake a public claim on Beau until Beau was fully out and ready for the level of serious he wanted.
Besides, his parental unit were here tonight, and he'd so wished he could introduce Beau as his partner. But he couldn't, and he had to live with that.
"Have you had a good time?" he asked, curling the fingers of his free hand to avoid reaching out to Beau as he lifted his snifter with his other hand to take a sip of the amber liquor within.
