Chapter 33

“May…may I kiss you, babe?”

Pablo gulped and shifted closer to Keenan. “Please.”

Keenan responded immediately, and Pablo gasped softly as their lips met. The kiss between them was sweet and tender, and Pablo was amazed by how gentle Keenan was toward him. The kiss felt as if it lasted for hours, but in reality, it was probably less than five minutes at best. Nevertheless, they were both breathless when they broke apart.

“Thank you.”

Pablo beamed at Keenan and nodded. “Thank you, too, but I’m…I’m hoping for something more.”

Keenan’s eyes widened. “Babe, are you…are you sure? Don’t tease me.”

“Absolutely,” Pablo answered with a smile before glancing away.

Keenan gripped onto Pablo’s chin gently. “I want to hear the words.”

Pablo shook his head, feeling the heat of embarrassment surging through his entire body. “I’m shy.”

Keenan chuckled. “Me, too, but I’m not willing to proceed unless I get your full consent.”
