“May I have this dance, sweetheart?”
Javier grinned as he got up on his feet. “Absolutely. It will be my pleasure.”
Hugo wrapped his arms around Javier’s waist, and he sighed in contentment when his boyfriend rested his head on his right shoulder. For the next few minutes, the two of them hugged each other tightly as they moved slowly along to the rhythm of the music.
“Have you enjoyed the evening so far?”
“It’s perfect. I’m glad you haven’t hired a violinist or a band for this dance. I like it just the two of us in this suite with the music playing from your smartphone. It’s cozier.”
“I think so, too.”
“You’re a romantic, daddy.”
“I wasn’t, and I never wanted to be,” Hugo responded honestly. “Until you.”
Javier’s breath hitched audibly. “I’m a lucky man.”
“So am I.”
For the next few moments, the two of them swayed along to the music. They even continued to do that long after the music had already stopped.
