The Housekeeper

He could just make out the faint, melodic sound of Christopher humming to himself. A smile tugged at the corner of Andrew’s lips as he drifted off to sleep.

Andrew simply watched Christopher’s boyish face, hovering inches from his own. Christopher’s brows were pinched together in deep concentration, and he lightly chewed on his lip. He used his free hand to angle Andrew’s head in various positions as he carefully shaved beneath his jaw and along his neck. The touch of his graceful and gentle hands made Andrew’s heart race. He tried to keep his breath steady and hoped that the flush in his face wasn’t too obvious.

This is why I love shaving scenes!
