Kisses for a June Afternoon

By K.L. Noone

Two months after the worst day of his life, Wesley Kim knows that he and his boyfriend Finn Ransom are doing better than ever. They’re even more sure of each other, Finn’s mostly recovered from his injuries, and they’re talking about plans for the future. About Finn going back to work, and Wes visiting his movie set. About building a life together.

But that’s the future. Today, Wes needs to make sure Finn knows exactly how much he’s loved. And he’ll do it properly. Thoroughly. Deliberately. With kisses, and silk ties, on a sun-drenched golden afternoon.
