20 Chapter 20

Dane gives him one of his self-conscious smiles, the ones Krish loves to kiss away. When he slides into the booth and sets the mugs down in front of them, Krish lets his hand find Dane’s leg in the darkness beneath the table and trails up until it rests in the joint where thigh meets groin. He can feel the pillowy softness at his lover’s crotch, and another smile from Dane makes him wonder why they’re here at all. We should be home,he thinks, watching Dane sip his latté. The game on TV and the two of us naked on the couch…now that’s what I call an evening.Nodding at the bar, Krish says, “She was all over you.”

Dane looks at him over the top of his mug as he blows on the latté to cool it down. “What?” he asks, following Krish’s gaze.

The girl behind the bar sees him and waves. “Dane,” Krish sighs.

“She’s just being friendly,” Dane says, waving back.
