Suddenly, Last Summer by Michael Robert
TREY BARNES
I professed my love for Jordy when I was seventeen. He was leaving for his last year of medical school after working another summer at my family’s Banks Lake resort in the Pacific Northwest.
Desperate for him to know how I felt even though he was my older brother’s best friend, and fearing that he wouldn’t return after that summer, I decided to take the plunge and admit my feelings while I had the chance.
As the adult in the situation, Jordy wisely chose to discount my confession as simply a teenage crush. But my last spoken words to him were that I’d wait patiently for him.
And I always kept my promises.
JORDY HALL
I’d been away from my small hometown for nearly five years. Life and a stressful medical residency had kept me busy, but I finally returned to fulfill my best-man duties for my best friend’s upcoming wedding.
His younger brother, Trey, was a sweet, sensitive kid when I left years ago. The shy, lean teenager who’d tearfully professed his love for me my last summer there had grown into a sexy, confident man. I was intrigued by what I saw, though I probably should have walked away again.
Had he actually waited for me to return? Did I hope he had? He was nine years my junior and my best friend’s little brother. But he could be so much more.
After five long years, it was suddenly last summer.

There was no luggage for me to pick up so I headed for the exit and a waiting area I assumed Trey or someone would be waiting in. The plane was early and then add in the fact I had no luggage, and I figured there was a chance no one would be waiting for me. I was wrong.
You couldn’t have missed him if you’d been blind. Trey was one of those people who if he was in a room of a thousand, he stood out immediately. I stepped behind a large support pillar out of his sightline and watched as he paced back and forth. His hands were tucked deep into his pockets which only snugged his tight jeans closer to his athletic ass. He’d grown in every way. Taller. Broader. More chiseled. His ass could hold a beer at a party the way it curved away from his slim waist. Bubble-butt wasn’t quite the descriptor of it. A name more like man ass fit the perfect thing currently snuggled in a tight pair of 501 jeans.
The cute teenage boy was all man now. I froze as he took ten steps, stopped, and took ten in the other direction. Occasionally, he would look in my direction and study the hallway behind me and my pillar, looking far for any sign I was there. His lower lip was in a vice of teeth as he studied the crowd. I couldn’t hide here forever, but I needed just a moment. A moment to observe the handsome, square-jawed face.
He was tan and his eyes sparkled brightly even from twenty yards away. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Five years and amazing genetics had done their jobs to precision. If I’d felt old and tired under the lights of the restroom, I now felt downright geriatric in his presence. I waited for him to turn away and then stepped from behind my protection, my wall, my insecurities.
