Under Armour shirt. He was getting twitchier as they
    moved, though that didn‟t strike Zane as particularly unusual. He was
    about to respond to Ty‟s gentle dig when someone else spoke up to get
    Ty‟s attention.
    “We were starting to wonder if you were gonna make it, Grady.
    You missed the national anthem,” Scott Alston said as he walked up to
    them. He was wearing the same uniform as Ty, but his jersey was
    tucked in and buttoned and his belt wasn‟t unbuckled. Zane had heard
    that all of the teams had given their players nicknames, like Ty‟s
    “Bulldog.” Some were more interesting than others. From the side,
    Zane could see Alston‟s was “Tinman.” There had to be a story there.
    Alston looked at Zane and held out his hand, clearly surprised to
    see him there. “Not a big deal unless you‟re slated to fucking sing it,
    right? Garrett, good to see you.”
    “Thanks,” Zane said as he shook Alston‟s hand. “Thought I‟d
    cheer for the team. He was supposed to sing?”
    “Right.” Alston nodded slowly and looked between them
    knowingly. “He‟s too drugged to drive, isn‟t he?”
    “Grady? Drugged? Would never happen,” Zane answered,
    meeting Alston‟s eyes straight on without blinking.
    “Sure it wouldn‟t,” Alston said with a laugh. He reached out and
    took Ty‟s hand in his, lifting it to look at the tape Ty had wrapped
    around his fingers. “I see you have a lefty glove today. Broken or just
    bent?”
    Ty took a step closer and yanked his hand away. “Sit on it and
    spin, Scott,” he muttered as he walked past him toward the larger group
    of players.
    Alston laughed heartily and looked back at Zane with a raised
    eyebrow.
    Zane shrugged helplessly. “He said he wanted to play.”
    “He always wants to play,” Alston assured him. “That‟s what he
    was saying last night when we peeled him out of the dirt.”

    “Been there, done that,” Zane said drily. “Ty can sing?”
    Alston just laughed like Zane was joking, and Zane let it go,
    feeling stupid for not knowing something like that about his partner.
    His lover. He glanced around, recognizing some other team members
    and spectators.
    “I‟m just going to hang out and relax.” He paused, peering after
    Ty. “I should probably ask where the EMTs are. Just in case.”
    “Don‟t worry. One of them has the hots for Grady. She‟ll be all
    over it if he‟s hurt,” Alston told him as he turned, waving over his
    shoulder. “Thanks for bringing him!”
    Zane waved him off and turned to survey the bleachers now that
    the team had cleared out. Close to full, but he‟d have room to stretch
    out his legs if he was careful. He had just started toward them when he
    heard the clacking of cleats behind him.
    Ty grabbed his elbow to stop him; Zane turned in place to look at
    his partner. Ty‟s hazel eyes were shining in the sunlight, and he smiled
    crookedly as he let his hand slide away from Zane‟s arm. “Thanks for
    bringing me, Zane,” he said with an affectionate pat to Zane‟s belly,
    and then he turned away and jogged back toward the dugout on the
    other side of the field without waiting for Zane to respond.
    Zane stared after him, rooted to the spot, and it wasn‟t even Ty‟s
    fine ass in those pants that had his attention. No, it was that flash of
    light in Ty‟s eyes that struck Zane right in the gut and made his breath
    catch. He had to try twice to swallow, and his face felt hot in the brisk
    air. He blinked hard before he realized he was gaping and made himself
    turn toward the bleachers and sit down about four rows up.
    Occasional actions like that totally convinced Zane that Ty was
    telling the truth about loving him. It bowled Zane over, and he felt a
    rush of giddiness. Zane closed his eyes tight and opened them again,
    and Ty came into focus on the other side of the fence—Zane had
    zeroed in on him without consciously looking.
    A young girl, elementary school age probably, abruptly skipped
    into his line of sight, climbed up the bleachers deftly, and sat down
    right beside him as if she belonged there. She gave him a cheerful
    smile. “Hi!”

    Zane did a double take between her and Ty before settling his
    gaze on her. “Hi,” he said, a little surprised. He wasn‟t the type of guy
    kids just waltzed up to. Quite tall, broad in the shoulders, muscled, dark
    hair and eyes, heavy leather jacket and boots, sort of imposing. But
