Blue Velvet

When Patrick Holt’s ex-boyfriend Clay Teal asks him to serve as the best man in his wedding to the man he left Patrick for, Patrick initially balks at the request. Even though he and Clay have been on fairly good terms since their breakup, Patrick is still bitter about the way Clay dumped him. But after Patrick’s new boyfriend convinces him that being a part of Clay’s wedding would help to resolve the years of “issues” between the two men, Patrick reluctantly agrees. In the weeks leading up to the big day, Patrick discovers he’s having a very hard time dealing with Clay’s upcoming nuptials. He also finds himself thinking more about his failed relationship with Clay and the events that led to their breakup. And, at the center of it all, was one lovely blue velvet jacket. Will the same problems follow him into his new relationship?

Chapter 2

Whatever Clay wanted to discuss obviously wasn’t a priority since he moved from discussing the flowers to asking about me and my life. How was Eric? How was my mother? How were things with my ophthalmology practice?

“Clay, I know you didn’t come all the way to Evanston to shoot the shit with me,” I said, settling in my chair. “What’s up?”

He looked like he was about to vomit. I watched him take another swig from his can of beer before swallowing and looking at me. “Dean and I are getting married.”

I stared at him. “What?”

“Dean and I are getting married.”

Even as I felt blood rushing to my face, I did my best to tamp down my rage and gave Clay a weak smile. “That’s great. Congratulations.”

His gray eyes flickered over me. “You’re angry.”

I took another swig of beer and shook my head. “I’m not. I’m just surprised.”
