David and Andrew Book 2: With These Rings

I heard the shower from the upstairs bath, took one last look at the tree, turned off the lights and headed up for the night. Annie and Jake were ahead of me. I went into the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth while Andy finished his shower. I didn’t think he knew I was there. He was just humming a Christmas song. At least I assumed it was a Christmas song; it was so off-key I couldn’t recognize it. I smiled.


I got undressed and into bed, lying facing the wall. I’d almost dozed off when I felt Andy slide in beside me. Turning toward him I buried my face in the soft hair of his chest and kissed him there. He pulled me to him and kissed my head. I rolled over on my back and Andy straddled my legs. He bent and kissed me over and over. I just wanted to show him I loved him, despite my limitations. I realized I was responding more fully than I had in weeks. I held my breath and tried not to think, trying only to allow myself to experience feelings and sensations.
