Dare smiled like he found me cute and gaveme another kiss. “How did they react when Ryan came out?”
That had me trying not to laugh. “He toldthem at dinner and basically his mother said that’s nice but you still have towear condoms and please pass the butter. His dad tried to give him the mostembarrassing sex lecture in history, but he had to admit he didn’t know what tosay so it was mostly lots of awkward silence.”
They hadn’t been much better when I’d comeout to them later, but compared to my parents’ disastrous reactions, I’d havetaken awkward any day.
“I want you to remember that when you guysgo up there.” Dare ran a hand over my head, stroking and touching like he wasmemorizing every inch of me. “And I got you something to help you remember thatI’m always going to be right there with you even if I can’t be with you inperson.”
“Me too?” Ryan’s head popped up so fast thathe scared the fuck out of me, and I squealed like the first blond killed in ahorror movie.
Dare laughed so hard he nearly slipped offthe bed.
We managed to catch him, but Ryan was stuckon the idea of presents. “What did you get us?”
Dare found the whole thing hilarious. “Ibet you’re a handful at Christmas.”
I nodded. “Any holiday that has presents.His parents still make us come over and get Easter baskets. He’s spoiled.”
More laughter poured out of Dare. When hewas finally just shaking his head and smiling, he gave Ryan a kiss. “You’re socute.”
Rolling my eyes, I pouted. “But heinterrupted us.”
Ryan snorted, but Dare aimed that tendergrin at me and gave me another kiss. “You’re right. He was very naughty.”
“Do I get my present first?” So I mighthave been just as bad he was when it came to presents.
Dare was doing his best not to laugh, buthe wasn’t really doing a fabulous job of it. “Yes, you get yours first.”
We each got one more kiss as he climbed offme and the bed. “One sec.”
Watching him bend over to dig into hisovernight bag was distracting enough that when he finally straightened, I’dnearly forgotten what he was doing in the first place. “Here we go.”
When he turned, carrying two small boxes, Ihad to blink a few times before I remembered what we were doing. To say hissexy, naked body was a distraction would’ve been an understatement, and hisstraining morning wood wasn’t helping my memory any.
Laughing, Dare turned up his slinky walkand slowly made his way back to the bed. Once we were both just watching,drooling and now hard as rocks, he gave a wicked grin. “I don’t think my boysare very excited for their presents.”
Presents?
Oh yes.
“You were…but yes…I…” I stopped, clearlyneeding caffeine before I attempted anything else.
Nearly giggling, Dare climbed over me andsettled between us on the too-small queen bed. “Here we go. Now, don’t panic.These are not rings.”
That had Ryan pretending to pout. “Aww.”
Dare’s sexy grin flashed, sending a shiverthrough me. “Keep it up, sexy, and see what happens.”
Did that mean a punishment or would hereally propose?
Ryan didn’t seem sure, either, based on howbig his eyes got.
Dare just found it funny or cute because heshook his head, still smiling, as he handed me a simple white box. The black Sthat was drawn in the corner said this one was mine, but I looked over at theother and smiled as I saw an R on the other one.
What had he gotten us?
“Hurry, I’m dying over here.”
Ignoring Ryan’s drama, I kissed Dare’scheek. “Thank you, Sir.”
