I said, “or only if you want to, now that we have these latest blood results, I was thinking, or wondering, if you’ve thought about…you know…not using condoms.”
    I always rambled when I was nervous.
    He was silent, so I shuffled and rolled over to face him, so I could look into his eyes and ramble some more, telling him not to worry, but a slow smile spread across his face.
    “You’re cute when you’re nervous,” he said.
    I huffed out a sigh of relief, and put my cheek to his chest. “It’s not something you need to decide right now,” I said softly. “No pressure.”
    “But you want it?” he asked.
    I looked up at him and nodded. “One day. To have you, and only you, inside me. No barrier between us.” He still didn’t answer, so I told him, “It’s okay if you don’t, babe. It’s something we both have to agree on, and make an informed decision about.”
    Kira traced his fingers down the side of my face, and his eyes looked intently into mine. “Can I have time to think about it?”
    “Of course. As much time as you need.”
    “I want to,” he added. “I really do, but I’d like some time to think about it. And I want you to know any hesitation on my part is not a lack of trust.” He held my face a little firmer and stared at me, almost daring me to claim otherwise. “You know that, right?”
    I smiled. “I do. I know it’s a heavy topic to just dump on you, but just with getting the letter and results… I just want you to know that it’s something I’d consider if you wanted.”
    He leant forward again and pecked his lips to mine, and I lay my head back down on his chest and sighed contentedly.
    Then Kira’s hands started to skim my sides, across my shoulders, my lower back, over my ass. His touch became firmer, and his cock stirred against my stomach.
    “You really shouldn’t have told me to think about it,” he said, and lifted his hips for effect.
    I laughed into his shirt, and he rolled me over so we were both on our sides. We were crammed onto the sofa, which was funny enough, but then he tickled me, making me laugh and squirm.
    Tickling fingers became fumbling hands and sure mouths and searching tongues. Kira took me to bed and fucked me. He used a condom, of course, but as he lay over me, he grunted into the back of my neck that one day he wouldn’t have to. That he’d slip inside me, just him, and he’d bury his seed deep within me.
    His words alone brought me undone.

    I hit send on the text, and put my phone on the diner table and looked at the two faces looking back at me. “So what will it be?”
    “Nothin’ for me,” came Ruby’s reply. He slid the unopened menu back across to me. “You don’t need to be buyin’ us anything.”
    Claude tried to hide the disappointment, but in silence agreed with her brother. I had no clue how long it’d been since these two ate anything.
    “Well, how about I just order you both something, and if you decide you want to eat it, you can,” I said, and without waiting for a reply, I ordered two burgers and fries, and two lemonade sodas.
    “Aren’t you eating, Matt?” Claude asked. “You didn’t order anything. Or is the food here really bad and you won’t eat it?”
    I laughed at her tact, or lack thereof. “The food here is just fine. Kira and I have plans for tonight, that’s all.”
    “If you’re goin’ out, why you wastin’ time here with us?” Ruby asked.
    “I’m not wasting time,” I told them. “I’m buying you guys dinner. I had to wait for Kira to pick me up anyway, so I texted him to tell him I’d be here instead of the club. No big deal.”
    Claude smiled across the table at me. Her wiry, tight curly hair was like a dark halo around her angelic face. “Where you going?” she asked. “With your man.”
    I smiled again at her. I usually found myself smiling at the things that came out of her mouth. “Date night. We’re going to the movies. Kira’s turn to pick
