Part II 9(18/23)

Out of the corner of my eye, Taylor steps backward

so he’s no longer in my line of sight. I reach up and kiss

Christian at the corner of his beautifully sculptured mouth.

“What you do to me, Christian.”

He steps back and takes my hand, his eyes darker

Taylor is still in the foyer, waiting discreetly for us.
