My mother’s eyes bounced between Chris’s and mine, both of which stared at her.

“There are two of you, aren’t there?”

“What does that have to do with anything?” I asked.

“Yeah, you could have hit jackpot the first time and taken another roll feeling lucky,” Chris replied.

“For God’s sake, just be thankful we made the decision we did and consider it enough.”

“You didn’t actually want kids, did you?” I said realizing they hadn’t.

“We were expected to have children if you must know. We come from a time when we did what was expected of us. Do you think I wanted to ruin my body by pushing the two of you out of me? I was once a beautiful woman, no matter what I look like now. Your father was lucky I chose him.

“So I don’t want to hear either of you complaining about what we did or didn’t do. We had you. Be grateful. My God, when did that stop being enough?” my mother concluded taking a big swig from her glass.

She rang her bell.

“More wine,” she shouted before one of the servers exited the kitchen with a bottle.

I didn’t know what I was expecting to hear when I asked the question, but it certainly wasn’t that. Considering how quiet Chris was for the rest of the night, I don’t think he expected it either.

“Thank you for dinner,” Titus said as we got up from the table. “It was, again, very good.”

Neither my mother nor father acknowledged him. Normally I would have told them off for it, but I didn’t have it in me tonight. My fight was gone.

A lot had happened today. I got my parents to admit they never wanted me, I might have opened Pandora’s box by convincing Titus to take a DNA test, and I may have ruined things with my best friend by kissing him. I was ready to bring the day to a close.

The only thing that made me feel better was that tonight, I didn’t have to shiver while pretending to be asleep to get Titus to hold me. As soon as we were both in bed, he wrapped his strong arms around me.

“They’re reading the will in the morning,” I reminded Titus.

“Oh yeah?”

“You won’t have to be here much longer.”

Titus replied by holding me tighter. I liked his response. It made me think that I hadn’t completely ruined things between us. I knew that wasn’t true. But, for the night, it was nice to pretend.

Chapter 6

Titus

I could spend the rest of my life with Lou in my arms. If I did, I would die happy. With him there, I felt complete. And lying in bed with him, I couldn’t fall asleep in fear that it would end.

This was the day I had kissed Lou for the first time. Not just that, but he had kissed me back. With his body on top of me, his lips had pressed against mine. I never felt more alive in my life.

The last thing I wanted was for this day to end. And I held out as long as I could. But eventually, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, Lou wasn’t next to me. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands. There was no question that this weekend had been a lot for him. I could see the pain his family caused him. He pretended like he didn’t care what they thought, but he cared deeply.

Watching him sit there with his shirt off, I also couldn’t help but think how good he looked. I wanted to grip his small waist in my hands and then slide my fingertips across his smooth chest. With my arm holding him tightly, I would rest my chin on the bend of his neck. As my face brushed against his hair, I would tickle the back of his ear with the tip of my nose.

My cock pulsed thinking about it. I ached to touch him. Being away from him was torture. But I knew this was a big day for him. It wasn’t about what I wanted. It was about helping him survive.

“You doin’ alright there?” I asked touching his hip with my foot.

Lou sniffled and wiped his eyes before looking back. My baby was crying. It broke my heart.

“Yeah. Just being silly,” he said forcing a chuckle.
