I bit my lip at the thought then whispered, “Did you like that song?”
I didn’t realize I’d taken a while to answer until, his tone sleepy, he mumbled, “You knew I would.”
Smiling to myself, I calculated it’d take two years for me to broaden his horizons away from noxxious.
He’d once told me that only women wanted to change the men in their lives, but he was wrong in this instance.
There was nothing about him that I wanted to change… Nothing apart from his shitty taste in music.
The thought had me settling deeper into him as I turned back around so I could tuck my arm over Katina’s waist and, sandwiched between the people I loved the most, I allowed myself to rest.

CONOR
YOURS - ELLA HENDERSON
I woke up and found that I’d literally died and gone to heaven.
Da was wrong.
There weren’t fluffy white clouds and dudes dancing around in togas with their dicks flapping in the breeze as they partied in the sky.
Nor was it Maximus Decimus Meridius’s version either—these weren’t the Elysian Fields.
“I know I’m out of practice, but if you’re too busy mumbling, ‘Da’s so wrong,’ maybe I should stop?” Lodestar huffed as she peered at me from halfway down my chest.

“You always have permission. I know you’ll never hurt me, Star.”
Her throat bobbed. “You say that so easily. I’ve proven that I hurt first and ask questions later.”
I reached for her hand. “That was before you wore this.” My thumb rubbed over the cameo ring I’d given her. “Everything’s changed now, hasn’t it?”
A gentle breath whispered from between her lips. “Yes, it has.” I cupped her chin, watching as she tilted her head to the side to nuzzle into me. “Conor?”
“Hmm?”
“You always have permission too.”
I stilled. “That’s big.”
“And it wasn’t for you?”
“You don’t have to say that just because I did,” I informed her kindly. “My situation is very different from yours, and yours is also more recent—”
