Saving Sparrow (Slow Burns & Tragic Beginnings, #2)

by C.P. Harris

“And then you played football with me.” “You made me fall in love with the game.” Elliott was still his number one fan. “And you…” Quentin addressed me now. “I loved you hard. I still love you hard. You were my sun, moon, and stars from the beginning.” He’d made a habit of calling me all three over the years. “You accepted me for who I was, never tried to change or tame me—much. You saved me from myself all the time, talked me down from my childish tantrums, and helped me grow into a man.” He kissed the backs of our hands. “I promise to protect you both, to lay down my life for yours, to keep loving you more than I fucking love myself. If my dick isn’t in one—or both—of you, it’ll be in my pants. Unless I’m showering or changing or, well, you get what I mean. I’ll never cheat. I’ll never let anyone or anything come between us. Not even football.” We turned to the small table I’d set up for our ceremonial rituals. We each lit a single candle, using them to light the unity candle together. “This symbolizes our continued union,” I said.
