“You must hear that all the time though. What’s your name?”
Wow.
Logan had come on strong when they’d first met, no doubt about it, but it was interesting to Tate that he’d had such a different reaction to him than he was having to this man. To this married man.
“My name’s Tate.” And I don’t care who you are.
Again, the man’s hand found his arm, and this time, he added a healthy dose of pressure.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Tate. Has anyone ever told you that you have incredibly sexy hair?”
It was obvious the guy wasn’t taking a hint, so Tate leaned over and said softly as to not embarrass him if his wife were around, “I’m sorry, but I’m taken.”
He was about to back away when the hand on his arm moved up to his bicep, keeping him put. Then the guy told him, “I don’t care.”
“Well I do.”
Logan’s voice was low, but it was clear as fucking day as it cut through the air and had Tate looking over his shoulder.
Logan was livid. Tate had never seen the look that was on his face as he glared at the man who was still holding his arm. His blue eyes narrowed and focused in on the hand touching him. Then he took a step closer and said in a voice that was dripping with rage, “Take. Your. Hand. Off. Him.”
It took Tate about one second to work out exactly who was touching him.
Chris.
He finally removed his hand, and Tate stepped away to stand beside Logan, who promptly took his.
Tate made sure to interlace their fingers as he held on tight.
His silent acceptance.
His silent support.
Logan looked at him, and the rage from seconds ago had been replaced with love and pride. Everything they’d been through over the last few weeks was worth that look.
Tate nodded, and as Logan turned back to face his fear, he knew it was going to be okay.
“Mr. Walker, you’re new to Mitchell & Madison and a guest here tonight, so maybe you didn’t know, but please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Logan Mitchell, and this is Tate Morrison, and he is my partner.”
THE END
Special Acknowledgments
As the second installment of Logan and Tate reaches you all, I would like to give a huge shout-out to the people who have helped make this happen.
First and foremost, Candace and Kimberly, for the many hours you put in reading the guys, chapter by chapter. You each had such a wonderful knowledge of them and brought out the best in me and their characters. Thank you for helping me to tell their story.
Second, a big thanks to Judy, Renee and Jen, for beta reading and making sure they were ready for the rest of the world. I appreciate your eyes more than you know.
Third, to the lovely Mickey Reed for immersing herself in the world of Logan and Tate, and making them shine in the best way possible.
Lastly, I’d like to thank all of the readers who fell in love with Logan and Tate’s story. I’m a huge fan of the M/M genre and to have such an overwhelming response to the men I thought up is extremely overwhelming and humbling. I thank each and every one of you.
I hope you continue to enjoy their journey and love the boys as much as I do!
Xx Ella
