Description
Alex had to grin to himself, remembering his first words to Mike.
After several drinks at Tom Carlier's while everyone had been moaning over a set of polaroid shots Tom had made of a fantastically tattooed cab-driver
"Lace-making" Alex had called Mike's polite babble. Alex had always found it a smart move to throw a com- placent beauty like Mike Kincade off-balance by attacking him playfully
But Alex had realized that Mike was not concerned about anything of that kind. The Southernness ploy, however, though obvious, might be unsettling for a moment and Alex had casually dropped it into a sudden silence.
And he had gone calmly off to pick another drink amid the laughter. Alex had laughed too and had shrugged away the put-down. . . . .
Mike Kincade gave the charming, imploring Caswell everything he demanded, then offered him more-love and a refuge from the terrors and ravages he suffered.
But like all the sand fortresses Caswell constructed on the beach at Fire Island, their sanctuary crumbled and Mike Kincade learned how painfully deep his own need were . . . .
