Sean frowns. The post-coital buzz of afternoon sex has faded and still Elijah’s
sprawled atop him, fingers moving restlessly over Sean’s chest.
“Aren’t you...”
“I’m quitting.”
“Huh?”
Elijah lifts his head and the sunlight strikes sparks deep in the blue. “We may
never get to say ‘I do’, but I’ll be damned if the ‘til death do us part’ bit comes any
sooner than it has to.”
Sean’s arms tighten convulsively. Words that go straight to the heart, more potent
than even the most fervent I love you.
And he didn’t think he could fall any deeper, but he does.
