ALL DAY Saturday Gregory kept thinking about Rhys and that kiss. It had taken some guts for him to do that, and Gregory had not only liked it, but it took away some of his nervousness about what Rhys wanted. Granted, it was only a kiss, but it signaled a lot of possibilities. Gregory tried not to let his head get too far ahead. But he had been excited all of Saturday, and the clock couldn’t move fast enough toward four o’clock on Sunday.

“Come on in,” Rhys said when he answered the door.

Gregory stepped inside, and Rhys stood just outside the hall area while he took off his coat. He could tell Rhys was nervous, so Gregory stepped up to him and returned his kiss from Friday. “Is that okay?”

“Yes. And here I was afraid I had acted like an idiot. I should have said something instead of just kissing you the other day. When I got back here, I wondered if I’d been assuming things, and then….” He took a deep breath. Gregory remembered that Rhys tended to ramble when he got nervous, and how cute it was, because at least he wasn’t the only nervous one.

“You read things right.” Gregory sighed and followed Rhys into the dining room, covered with Christmas craft stuff. “I brought the things we bought.”

“Perfect. The party is in a week, so I thought we could make the favors for each place. We can then add the chocolates when we pick them up, and we’ll be good.”

Gregory sat across from Rhys and tried to keep his attention on the task rather than on Rhys. Now that he knew Rhys was interested, things took on a whole new light, and the heated looks he got in response only took on more meaning. Gregory definitely remembered how Rhys had been in college. Hell, it was etched on his memory, including the little mole on his hip, and the way Rhys—

“What are you thinking?” Rhys asked as he leaned over the table.

Gregory blushed but didn’t turn away. Rhys clearly knew what was on his mind, but he refused to be ashamed of it. “Well….”

Now it was Rhys’s turn to blush, and Gregory chuckled. Clearly the two of them had the same idea. Rhys cleared his throat, and Gregory pulled his attention back to the present.

“Okay. What are we doing?”

“Based on your sister’s instructions, she envisioned something like this.” Rhys lifted up an example with some crystals. “It’s nice, but I was thinking we could make these.” He held up a bow of about the same size, but made with more ribbon, that incorporated the crystals as well as the peppermint candies in a sachet. “We can put the chocolates here, and this will go with everything else we’re doing.”

Gregory wasn’t sure at first, but then shrugged. “Let’s go with the blingy one. We bought enough ribbon, right?”

“Yes. These are prettier.” Rhys came around and took the seat next to his. “Let me show you to make them. It’s just a matter of technique.
