Chapter 44

“We may not be able to make love yet, but tonight we’re definitely fooling around again,” Julio told Etienne.

“I’m afraid that will be impossible. Now that I know you are whole, my mating instinct is in high gear. We’ll spend as little time together alone as possible, or I’ll take you.” Etienne kissed him again, and they went out to speak to Drs. Artis and Ballard.

“If I didn’t see the results of that MRI with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed. I thought he was going to die on the table when he came in and again when he contracted sepsis.” Dr. Artis smiled at Dr. Ballard. “Here we are a few weeks later, and he’s completely healthy. Julio, you can resume eating a normal diet, and I’ll see you in four weeks to make sure you’re doing okay. Etienne, you may proceed with the mating.” He patted Etienne’s shoulder.
