They started another round, and even Adam could tell that they were showing off for him, displaying their skill. Alec’s runes covered his arms and torso, and Adam’s eyes mapped them, tracing the way they clung to his muscles.
Adam’s belly felt hot and his heart was pounding, but it wasn’t until he started getting hard that Adam realized what was happening. He was getting aroused by the sight of Alec like this. Dropping his eyes, Adam quickly thought about something unpleasant—his father, and a memory that had led to a scar—until the erection faded. Then he carefully glanced up, immediately feeling the spike of arousal in his gut as Alec won.
What was this? Was he gay? He knew he’d been a little bit in love with Gansey, but that didn’t mean anything. They were all a little bit in love with Gansey. And there was Ronan, sharp and dangerous in a way that Adam had come to find familiar and cozy. Thinking about it again, Adam thought that he might have had feelings for Ronan, and if their life paths hadn’t been so different, something might have come of it.
But he’d definitely found girls attractive, too, and was pretty sure that he still would. Izzy was beautiful and dangerous and fascinating in a way that made his pulse quicken, but she didn’t hold his attention the way Alec did.
Bisexual. He was bisexual then, maybe, probably, and he was very attracted to Alec.
When Alec turned toward him, shirtless and sweaty, with a faint dusting of dark hair on his muscled torso, Adam felt dizzy. It took active effort to pull his eyes up to Alec’s face, and once he’d done so he couldn’t remember how to form words.
“You’re good,” he said, slightly choked and deeply awkward.
