Matthias rolled his eyes and said, “No. I'm fine. You stay in bed.”

After a moment of silence, Luis asked, “Are you upset about Beth Anne spending the night with the Sheltenfester brothers in town?” He would have been fuming if he'd gone away with someone and they'd left him flat for two horse-hung country boys with yellow teeth and big chins who'd outgrown their pants years ago.

But Matthias just shrugged and said, “I honestly couldn't care less. I told you, I'm bisexual and there's nothing serious with Beth Anne.” He glanced in Luis's direction and laughed. “She gives good head and she takes it in the ass like a real trooper.”

This time Luis rolled his eyes. “Too much information.” But he did have a feeling Beth Anne was the type of woman who knew how to suck dick and take it in the ass. He could tell by the shape of her lips and the way she tended to pout when there was nothing to pout about. And Luis had always been curious about bisexual men and had never had many chances to talk to them in person. Now he had two at the same time, Matthias and Hood.

“You know,” Luis said, “I have a handyman in Bucks County. His name is Cory. I thought he was bisexual for a long time. I used to tease him all the time about it. But it turned out he was really gay and he was afraid to come out of the closet. He's now involved in a serious relationship with my identical twin brother.” Luis had never been sure about this bisexual business. He supposed there were some who were really bisexual. But he thought most were fooling themselves.

“You have an identical twin?” Matthias asked. It was as though he'd never heard Cory's name mentioned.

Luis nodded.

“And he's gay?”

Luis nodded again.

“Did you ever do him?”

Luis laughed. “No, I never did him. He's my brother. I don't understand why I get that question all the time. Even Jase asked me that question once.”

“It's hot,” Matthias said. “That's why people ask.”

There was another lull. The shower continued to run and Luis thought Jase would never come out. “So are you really bisexual?”

Matthias smiled and looked him directly in the eye. “Yes, I'm really bisexual. I'm not hiding in the closet either. I know who I am. I'm sexually attracted to men and to women. And for me it's perfectly natural.”

Luis considered this for a moment. Though he'd never met a true bisexual, there had to be a reason why there was a B in LGBT. “It must get confusing sometimes. How do you know what you want?” Luis had known he loved men since he'd been a toddler and he'd sat on his cute uncle's lap for the first time.

“It's not confusing at all,” Matthias said, “When I see a woman I like, I'm attracted to her. When I see a man I like, I'm also attracted to him. It's not that different from being gay or straight. And the good thing is you have more options. The bad thing is not many people really get it...or believe it. I once dated a woman for a year who tried to understand. I was open and honest with her from the beginning. But she couldn't get past the fact that I was also attracted to guys.”

“Where you monogamous?” Luis asked. This was a big thing for Luis. He could understand being bisexual. But he felt that when a bisexual man or woman was in a relationship, they should remain monogamous just like everyone else.

And Matthias seemed to agree. “Of course I was monogamous. Just because I'm bisexual I don't get a free pass to sleep around. But the woman didn't understand it. So the relationship didn't last.”

“I'm sorry,” Luis said. “It must have been difficult for you.”

Matthias shrugged. “It just wasn't meant to be. I got over it a while ago.”

Luis thought about that for a moment, and then asked. “And Hood is bisexual, too?” What were the odds of running into two bisexuals at the same time?

“Yes,” said Matthias.

“You've been lovers?” Luis asked.

“Many times,” Matthias said. “But we were never involved in an emotional relationship. We've always just been fuck buddies. And to be honest, the sex was never all that great with us because we're both tops.” He laughed. “It was basically blow jobs and mutual masturbation.”

“And you're not upset at all that Hood is out in the living room with Blaze right now?”

“Not in the least,” Matthias said. “I'm glad he's with her. Better he fucks her than me. I don't get fucked. I'm glad Beth Anne is with the Sheltenfester brothers. I'm glad I'm in here sharing a bed with you and Jase. You're one of the best-looking couples I've ever met. Are you tops or bottoms?”

“Jase is a top and I'm versatile,” Luis said.

“Ha.”

“Why are you laughing?”

“I can tell Jase is a top,” Matthias said. “But you're total bottom.”

“I've been a top before,” Luis said. This was true.

Matthias laughed again. “I'll bet you don't put up much of a fight when Jase turns you over and spreads your pretty legs.”

Luis gulped and smiled. Matthias had a point and Luis knew he couldn't win this argument. A second or two later, the shower stopped. A minute after that, Jase came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. He glanced at Luis in bed and asked, “Did we ever make love in an airplane?”

Luis jumped out from beneath the covers and raced to him. “You remember.” He kissed him and hugged him. “I knew you would start to remember.”

“Hold on,” Jase said. “I only had a quick flash in the shower. We were in a small plane flying over mountains, and you were stark naked. But I don't remember anything else.”

Matthias glanced at Luis. “You were naked in a small plane. I always wondered if that kind of thing really happened.”

Luis ignored him. Matthias had a one-track mind and Luis didn't want to tarnish a wonderful personal memory that was filled with emotion. “Don't worry about it, Jase. It's a good sign. It means you're starting to remember. It was one of the most romantic things we ever did.”

Jase smiled and patted Luis on the back. “It's just so damn frustrating. I don't even know what happened to me. Or why I don't remember anything.”

Matthias said, “Luis is right. These flashbacks are a good sign that you're going to remember everything. And I have a feeling this all happened because of a fall you took. That's why you have the bump on your head. It was dark in there. You probably tripped over something and lost your balance. Accidents like that are more common than people realize. It could have been much worse.”
