“No.”

Tony’s cheeks are rosy. He’s feeling the beer.

“I think he wants to fuck you,” he whispers and starts giggling.

“Oh Lordy.”

We both laugh and he changes the subject back to Bella moving in with him. She’s a sweet lady who works at the library. They’re quirky but I think it’s definitely for the long haul.

As happy as I am for him, I can’t help but glance over at my boss who’s kicking everyone’s ass at pool.

I want to go over there and squeeze his ass in those slick pants.

When did he change into dark wash jeans? They look good on him.

I wonder if the other ones were ruined from the precum?

“Is Bella getting settled since she accepted your offer to move in?” I ask Tony, trying to get my mind off Sal.

“Yeah,” he says with the dopiest grin.

“How late are you out tonight?”

“Probably one more drink and then I wanna go snuggle with my girl.” He beams like a newly formed sun.

It’s cute.

“Guess I’ll head out too then.”

“I think you should try to hook up with the boss.”

Choking on my beer, it streams down my face and large drops hit my joggers.

Tony claps my back several times as I cough like crazy.

“Wow, thanks for that!” I choke out.

Once the fit is finally over, I glance over to Sal who’s sneaking a look my way. His anger seems dampened until I’m done coughing. Then it’s instantly reignited. Where is this burning rage coming from?

I’m not going to back down.

“I’ll see you Tuesday,” I tell Tony as I slam my beer.

“Good luck.”

He must think I’m joking right? He has no clue what went on between us in the bathroom.

There are four guys taking turns around the pool table by the front of the bar. I only recognize one of them who sits kitty corner to me. His name is Julio and he’s pretty friendly.

“Hey Cole,” he says as I approach.

“Hey, Julio. Kicking the boss’s ass?”

My remark earns me smirks from everyone. Everyone except the boss himself.

All I get is a glower and I can’t figure out why. How does he go from burning hot to a quiet, molten rage?

Is this because other people are around?
