Chapter 41

“When’s the last time you had dessert?” Alex asks, the echo of Mahiro’s use of the word “chubby” earlier in the evening bouncing around his head. “There’s nothing wrong with having dessert once in a while.”

Mahiro quirks an eyebrow. “Okay, I’d love an éclair. Please. And red wine. A cabernet, or Malbec. Thank you, Alex.”

Alex smiles and kisses his cheek before he almost skips over to join the line next to the table near the door. There are little screened domes over the desserts to keep the butterflies away, and the piles of cream puffs look delectable. Alex is next in line and considering his choices when the plug in his ass vibrates, just a little buzz, enough to startle him into turning around

To see Mahiro carefully examining the large white hibiscus flower nearby.

Alex almost laughs. So that’s how he’s playing it, is it?
