THE evening ended far sooner than Kit wanted. He basked in the laughter that had rung out around the table all through dinner and in the way Phillip and Ephah had disappeared into their rooms as soon as they’d finished cleaning up, leaving Kit and Linc alone in the living room. They wouldn’t have the same privacy as they’d had on Monday, but it was better than nothing. “Did you have a good time?” he asked as they cuddled on the couch.

“I did,” Linc said, “but it’s getting late. I should go.”

Kit tightened his arms around Linc’s torso. “No, it’s too soon. I like you right where you are.”

Linc chuckled, the sound vibrating through his chest to Kit’s cheek. “I like right where I am too, sugar, but if I miss practice, Coach’ll have my hide, and then where will I be? I don’t want to ride the bench for a game for something like that.”

Kit sighed and pushed into a more upright position. “No, of course not. You’ll come back for dinner again tomorrow, right?”

“I said I would, and I aim to keep my promises,” Linc said. He dropped a kiss on Kit’s lips. “Although you keep feeding me like that and Coach’s gonna put me on an even stricter diet. I’m gonna gain ten pounds on your cooking.”

“You can tell him it’s all healthy,” Kit said. “I use organic produce and meats.”

“I’ll be sure to mention it.” Linc’s teasing grin was too much to resist. He tackled Linc backward onto the couch and kissed him, lightly at first, but deepening it when Linc went loose beneath him. He flicked his tongue along the seam of Linc’s lips and delved in when Linc opened for him. He could lie like this for hours, just making out on the couch, but Linc was right. He had an early practice, and Kit had a lab at eight. Unless Linc was going to spend the night—and they hadn’t talked about that yet—he needed to leave soon.

With a resigned sigh and a bit of a pout, Kit sat up again and then stood, offering a hand to Linc as he did so.

“I should pull you back down here,” Linc said as he took Kit’s hand and stood next to him.

“I’d let you,” Kit replied as they walked toward the door.

Linc slipped his feet into his shoes, but instead of pulling on his coat, he pulled Kit into his arms. “You can’t say things like that when I’m fixing to leave. It makes me want to stay.”

They were totally having that stay-the-night conversation, just as soon as they could do it without interruption. He reached up to kiss Linc again instead, lingering as long as he could. Finally, though, they broke apart again, and Linc pulled his coat off the rack. When he got it on and his gloves in place, he stroked Kit’s cheek and leaned down for one more tender kiss. “See you tomorrow.”

Kit leaned against the doorframe as Linc walked down the hall and out of sight.
