Chapter Four Kurt held James by both shoulders, forcing him to look into his eyes. He’d never been a sucker for eyes before, but there was something about the way light shone into Kurt’s eyes that turned simple brown into amber and honey, with the slightest hint of gold when he was aroused. James had been working on getting him to that state when the younger man had pushed him away, worry filling the eyes that bore into his. “Are you sure?” James sighed. “The swim meet is tomorrow. If I wasn’t sure you were ready, I would’ve told Coach Davis to put someone else into the relay. Even if I’m wrong about that, he’s been watching your progress too. He believes you’re ready. He trusts that I know what I’m talking about.” “Right.” Kurt nodded. “And you didn’t do that because of…other things.”
