Eggs and Kisses

“I’ll never get tired of hearing it,” said Kiko. He kissed the back of Dom’s neck, then rolled over briefly to set the alarm and turn off the light. By the time he moved back to spooning Dom, Kiko could tell he’d nearly drifted off.

“Maybe you should,” he replied, but Dom was already asleep. 21


Dom woke both content and on edge. His body felt amazing and he was happy, but apparently in the night his brain had been doing a lot of work and made a decision whether or not he’d wanted it to. Kiko gave him a shove as the alarm went off and Dom knew what he had to do.


He was going to marry Kiko. He just had to figure out how to ask. Maybe he could wriggle it out of Kiko without coming right out and saying it. That would be easiest.
