EXCERPT FROM "A SEASON OF INTIMACY"
​
Tito slipped into the bathroom, pulling jar candles off the shelving unit in the back corner. The entire bathroom was white, including the cabinetry, and with the lights on, the effect could be glaring. He wanted to soften the atmosphere.
“I suggest we shower first.” Tito smiled over his shoulder at Leo as he stepped into the doorway. “And I suggest we set the mood. Lammas is a holiday, after all, and I want this to be the perfect end to our celebration.”
“Sure.” Leo grinned. “Sounds sexy.” He stepped over and accepted jar candles from Tito, lining them up on the vanity.
Thanks to his building arousal, Tito felt too hot in his clothes. Romantic men really turn me on. I had no idea. Matt was rarely romantic. Tito hadn’t gotten serious with anyone before Matt, so he was still learning about his own preferences. “You and I are already a better match sexually than Matt and I ever were—or probably ever could have been.”
“I doubt that takes much.” Leo laughed. “But I’m glad.”
They lit seven candles and turned off the light, leaving the bathroom filled with a soft radiance.
