“With Nevus Flammeus, or port-wine birthmarks, it’s extremely rare that we can achieve full removal.
“I love you. I love every part of you, and I love who you are. If you were born any differently than you are, you might not be the same feisty, sweet, breathtakingly wonderful boy who stole my heart.”
“You know what I want, little rabbit?” “Tell me, Daddy,” he says breathlessly. “I want you to fuck me.”
“I got you somethin’,” I tell him when we break the kiss. His eyebrows go up. “You got me something?”
Barrett takes it from me, looking stunned even before he opens it. As soon as he does, his shock turns to more of a mushy, affectionate expression. “They’re little book shaped cufflinks.”
I glance over and find Barrett looking at me with so much love, it’s still hard to believe it’s real sometimes. What made him pluck me up and make me his, I’ll never know, but I finally feel worthy of it. He loves me, and I love him back just the same. Forever.
“That’s okay, because the secret to dancing is finding the right partner,”

He learned that sometimes you’re given hard things in life so you can prove how strong you are and to make sure only the right kind of people will love you.
“Marry me, Daddy?” My eyes go wide when the words burst out of me. I didn’t intend to say them, but boy do I mean them.
“I ain’t got a ring or nothin’,” I tell him apologetically. “But I could get one. I’ll get you a real nice one.”
He gives me a crooked smile and reaches into his pocket. “You sure know how to steal a guy’s thunder, little rabbit.” He pulls out a black, velvety box and pops the lid open to show me a shiny silver band with small diamonds studded in it. “Is this…?” I reach for it slowly. “I was planning to ask you tonight,” he explains, and I smile. “You might have the ring, but I asked first,” I point out, and he chuckles.
“You did,” he agrees. “And, of course I’ll marry you, Pretty Boy. I can’t think of a single thing in the world I want more.”
This Pretty Boy might’ve had a rocky start, but at least he got the happy ending right.
