Hiding on a balcony is one of my favourite scenes. First, Damen's 'Stop moving around', and then Laurent's 'This is not ideal', and the 'giant animal' comment, and most importantly, Laurent silently laughing and genuinely having a good time. They are both so precious to me 🫰

Continuing BR with Sam 💖

I'm loving this even more than at my first read and I want to give my baby Laurent the world 💙💙💙💙💙

Laurent shifted a fraction closer and made a soft sound of pleasure that Damen was going to remember for the rest of his life.
And then Laurent was blinking sleepily, and Damen was watching him grow aware of his surroundings and come awake in his arms.
He wasn’t sure how it would be but when Laurent saw who was beside him, he smiled.

We waited for a long time but it was worth it 😊😍💖



The kiss was barely a suggestion of itself, with no yielding of the rigidity in Laurent, but the first kiss became a second, after a fraction of parting in which Damen felt the flicker of Laurent’s shallow breathing against his own lips.

This is so cute 😍😍😍



But let's be honest here... Laurent didn't object that much when he was pressed against Damen on the balcony 😉

Damen felt Laurent start shaking against him, and realised that, silently, helplessly, he was laughing. 💙💛
