77.

Adrian blinked awake, feeling the warmth of Ethan's arms wrapped around him. He shifted slightly, and a dull ache reminded him of the intensity of last night. With a soft sigh, he adjusted himself, trying not to wake Ethan.

But Ethan stirred, tightening his hold around Adrian's waist. "Where are you going?" he mumbled, his voice husky with sleep.

Adrian chuckled, resting his head back down. "Nowhere. Just… waking up."

Ethan cracked one eye open, a mischievous glint in his gaze. "Are you sure? Because I'm not ready to let you go anywhere."

Adrian rolled his eyes, laughing softly. "As if I'd escape from you."

Ethan gently tucked a strand of Adrian's hair behind his ear. "Good, because I have plans for us. You have a checkup coming up, right? Once that's done, how about we plan a honeymoon?"

Adrian's face brightened, but then he paused, looking a little hesitant. "Actually… there's something I want before we go on a honeymoon."
