Excerpt
“Aaaagh!” Miguel squeaked
again, ducking his head into Hector’s shoulder as a mass of zombies burst into
the shop where the hero and his family were hiding. “How are you not dying
at this?” he asked in an agonized voice.

Hector held back a grin at Miguel’s
over-the-top reaction. After the things he’d seen on the police force, it would
take more than a jump scare to freak him out. “I’m trembling on the
inside,” he said.

Hector stopped him. “You’re just

Miguel snorted another laugh, but after
a moment’s hesitation, he settled back against him. He rested against Hector’s
chest, with his bent legs laying half over one of Hector’s. As the movie played
on, the hero and his crew making a perilous escape from the zombie horde,
Hector brought his hand up from the back of the couch, absently running it
through Miguel’s hair. The curls were soft, sliding through his fingers.

Eventually the action on screen slowed,
giving both the hero and the viewers a moment to breathe. Hector’s attention
wandered from the screen, and he realized it was strange to have his hand in
another man’s hair. He and Miguel were so close, and it was such a habit from
watching movies with dates that he’d done it without even thinking. He abruptly
stopped. Sitting there stiffly, his hand frozen in Miguel’s hair, he wondered
if he should apologize. Before he could decide, Miguel turned his head
slightly, his lips brushing Hector’s neck as he spoke.

“That felt nice,” he said in a

His chest suddenly tight, Hector relaxed
his fingers and slowly started playing them through Miguel’s hair again. His
eyes were on the TV, but he wasn’t really watching the movie. Neither was
Miguel. His face stayed turned into Hector’s neck, warm breath softly blowing
over his skin. It was a surprise and yet not when Miguel pressed a kiss to his
throat.

At that moment, Hector should have moved
away from Miguel. Hell, he should have gotten off the couch altogether. But he
didn’t. He sat there, letting Miguel brush more kisses up and down the side of
his neck. A hand landed on his thigh. Hector swallowed hard, then turned to
look down at his friend.
