“You mean it?” My voice is barely a whisper as I push up to see his face.
His brow pulls together as he brushes a damp strand of hair from my forehead. “Mean what, baby girl?”
“That you love me.”
“Yeah.” I hold my breath as his eyes warm into adoration. “I love you, Alaina.”
Everything else, every worry disappears, because there’s only him and me under the stars, wrapped in lavender, and only the sky to bear witness.
He kisses me again and again as if every press of his mouth is a vow. “Je t’aime, ma Petite.”
My nobody who sees my cracks and calls them beautiful.
His eyes flick down, tracing the length of me. “Shite. You’re so damn beautiful.”
I almost laugh at his hoarse words, at how in sync we are without him realizing it.
“Didn’t think about it much growing up. Honestly, before Petite, I thought I was straight or straight enough.”
Ah. My stomach dips. There it is. “And now?”
“Now I already handed in my straight card for her,” he says with a breathy laugh that’s more tender.
