Chapter 24

“Quite,” said Finn in a ludicrous accent. “To my room, Mr. Teller! Chop, chop!”

“Very good, sir!”

Ethan tucked them both in with no trouble, the covers pulled up to their shoulders. Finn was teetering on the edge of sleep in no time. Still, he forced himself to stay awake for at least a little bit. He liked to talk to Ethan after sex. Usually, it was about nothing, but that was just fine. Ethan gently ran his fingers through Finn’s hair, as though his hand acted on its own. Finn lay there, enjoying the sensation.

“Tomorrow’s gonna be so fun,” he yawned. Eyes closed, he snuggled closer. “I’ve never been in a tux b’fore…”

“First time for everything. You don’t haveto wear a tux if you don’t want.”

“No, no, I wanna wear a tux…look like a penguin…”

Ethan watched as Finn began to drift away. “Like a tall, skinny penguin. With big, blue eyes.”

“Mm…mmhm.” His muscles began to relax. “And…thanks fer…inviting…”

“Of course. I want you there.” Ethan kissed his nose. “Good night, Finn.”
