Chapitre 104: Chapter 104

Frustration passed across his face. He scowled and then scowled more when Henry chuckled. He just couldn’t help it. Big, strong, brawny Luke had a scowl no fiercer than a little kitten.

“Aw.” Henry fit a hand to Luke’s cheek. “It’s okay, sweetheart. How about this: nod if you wanna keep going.”

A touch of a smile. Then, a nod.

Henry smiled back and pressed a soft kiss to Luke’s forehead. He petted a hand over his head. Whispered, “Good boy,” and smiled more at the whimper that earned him.
