being."
"Someone is trying to kill me." If selling himself for money didn't dissuade Seth from wanting him then maybe that would. "If he catches me, or you, we're both dead. I still have to go back to Boston and testify against this man."
"And I'll be right next to you, holding your hand when you go."
Nicky blinked. He hadn't expected that. Seth sounded serious. "Seth, if they don't catch this guy I might have to live the rest of my life as a woman."
Seth smiled and brushed the hair back from Nicky's face. "Then I'll ask you to be my wife instead of my husband."
Nicky's mouth dropped open. Saying he was shocked didn't quite describe how stunned he felt at the moment. He knew Seth liked him. He just didn't have any idea how much. Nicky couldn't exactly say the same.
Nicky knew he had feelings for Seth. He just didn't know if he loved the guy. He needed more time to examine his feelings and get to know Seth before he could make that decision. It wasn't that easy for him. He'd made a lot of mistakes in his life. He didn't want to make one with Seth.
"Seth, I—" Nicky swallowed again, his throat feeling thick. "I need to think about this. I can't make snap decisions like you."
Seth's eyes saddened but he nodded and stood to his feet. "I understand," he said as he started to shove the necklace back into his pocket.
Nicky's heart ached. He grabbed Seth's hand to stop him, pulling the necklace out of his hand. "I'd like to wear the necklace if you'll allow me to. I didn't say I didn't want to be with you just that I needed more time to understand what's happening between us."
Seth's smile was still tinged with a hint of sadness but there was nothing Nicky could do about it. He couldn't force his feelings for Seth anymore than he could deny that he had them. He just wasn't sure exactly what they were.
Nicky held the necklace out to Seth in one hand and grabbed his long hair in the other, pulling it out of the way. "Put it on me?" he asked tentatively.
He could feel Seth's hands tremble against his skin as he fastened the necklace around his neck. Nicky stroked his fingers over the delicate gold chain as he let his hair fall back into place down his back and turned to face Seth.
"How does it look?"
"Almost as beautiful as you," Seth murmured. Nicky shivered when Seth's fingers brushed against his collarbone. The man's touch was like fire against his skin, making his flesh tingle and his breathing increase.
Nicky stepped closer to Seth, pressing his body up against his. "Don't give up on me, Seth," he pleaded. "Please."
Nicky almost sighed as Seth's arms wrapped around him. He laid his forehead against Seth's chest and tried not to give into the overwhelming feelings that raced through him. He wanted this with Seth so much but he was afraid to trust in it. No one fell in love this fast, no one. Life just didn't happen that way, did it?
"Never, baby," Seth whispered against the top of his head. "You can have all the time you need as long as you don't shut me out. I need you like I need air."
Nicky chuckled and tilted his head back so he could look up into Seth's eyes. "I kind of like that."
Seth grinned. "Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Then do you think we could seal the deal with a kiss?"
Nicky's eyes widened and darted around the little fountain square they stood in before coming back to meet Seth's. "Here?"
"Yes, here."
Before Nicky could protest further he felt Seth's lips press against his. Nicky's toes curled, lust for the man holding him instantly shooting through his body. He clutched at Seth's shirt as he tried to get closer, nipping at Seth's lips.
Nicky suddenly wished that they were back at his apartment where they could be together without pretending he was a woman. He wanted to feel Seth's skin rub against his. He wanted to feel Seth's body press him into the mattress. He just wanted.
"Seth," Nicky moaned against Seth's lips, "can we—"
"Seth?"
Nicky's heart plummeted as he turned to find a young woman standing next to them.
"I thought
