Disclaimer: I am not Stephenie Meyer, so I do not own Twilight. Probably a good thing, because I suspect it would be a much darker story if it had been mine.

Chapter 35

Garrett slid his fingers into the loops of Mark's pleated pants as he drew him closer, kissing him firmly.

Mark broke off the kiss. "Charlie is going to kill me if he ever catches us doing this."

Garrett scowled. "Dad knows I'm gay." Well, he was actually bi, but preferred guys.

"And does he know know you're dating someone almost as old as he is? Not to mention one of his subordinates?"

Did he look stupid to Mark? "I'm an adult, I can do what the fuck I want."

"In other words, no." Mark pulled away. "We need to stop meeting like this. Your dad, my boss, is going to have my ass if he ever finds this out."

"Why?"

"Cops and this sexuality don't mix."

"I thought being a cop was like military, fire department, or medical. Don't ask, don't tell, and all that good stuff."

"That whole idea goes out the window if someone catches us. Especially my boss."

"I really don't think he'd care. My dad wants me happy."

Mark shook his head. "I've got to get back to work."

Garrett rolled his eyes. "Fine. Fine."
