Part II 4(2/21)

o relaxed in sleep, so utterly beautiful.

He looks so young, so relaxed in sleep, so utterly beautiful.

I can’t quite believe this Adonis is mine, all mine.

Hmm . . . Reaching up, I tentatively stroke his chest,

running my fingertips through the smattering of hair, and he

doesn’t stir. Holy cow. I can’t quite believe it. He’s really

“How often do you work out?” I ask.
