Chapter 8

“What?” Lucas asked, glancing his way curiously.

He shrugged. “Just got the vibes.”

“The vibes?”

“The I’m not as interested in you as I thought vibes. Trust me, I’ve gotten them often enough to know.”

“Well, if that is the case, his loss.”

“Yeah, sure.”

Depressed at his lack of prospects, Elijah let the conversation lapse. The last time he’d had sex was with Jerry, and to say it had been less than thrilling would be an understatement. As soon as Jerry pulled out, he’d brought up Lucas again. Which had pretty much rung the death toll on that relationship for Elijah. Clueless Jerry had continued to call him a couple of times after that, but eventually he got the message.

Was it too much to expect a guy to like him and be attracted to him for himself? Was he really that much of a dork?

Don’t answer that.

Because really, Elijah guessed, he really wasthat much of a dork.
