Maxwell: Not Without Guilt (Phoenix Club) - Plot & Excerpts
♦ Horatio was leaving – for good? Max stared at him, the hurt and anguish in the younger man’s eyes too much to bear. “Horatio, I didn’t mean...” He pressed his lips tight, throat thick. “I didn’t mean I never wanted to see you again. Or that you should leave the city.” “I know.” Horatio pulled his tears back, blinking them away. “But I have to leave.” “With Seth?” Max murmured. “Yes.” Closing his eyes briefly, tears dampened his lashes as he asked quietly, “Do you love him?” Horatio hesitated. “I care about him very much,” he said. “But it could become love.” Extend your best wishes and leave it at that. Let him go. But Horatio’s confession that he could possibly fall in love with Seth punched hard at Max’s heart. Horatio had been with a lot of men, but never once had he been serious, or even come close to claiming “love” for any of them – other than Abel. And though Max knew he should be happy for him, that there was actually someone else he could see himself making a life with, he couldn’t find the joy in it.
