Hours later, as a drier Josette slept in the guest bedroom, Jacob and I cuddled on the couch with Cujo on my lap and Sparky at our feet.

“I hate to ask if she can stay.”

I glared at my husband. “As if I’d ever consider turning her away. She might be your sister, but she’s also my best friend. She can stay as long as she needs.”

“That might get…intrusive.”

I chuckled. “Oh, I can guarantee that. But I also know we’re built of stronger stuff. And if she’s still here when the baby arrives, then we’ll set up the nursery for her.”

Jacob nuzzled my neck. “I thought that would be for our babies.”

As I kissed his cheek, I smiled. “In good time. We agreed to wait a couple more years.”

He groused. “I’m not getting any younger.”

I laughed. “Oh yeah, old man.” I met his intense gaze. “We can plan for sooner, if you really want. I just wanted to give us time to settle into being married.”

His smile lit me from the inside. “I was settled the day we said our vows. This is forever, Felix, okay?”

“Okay.” I glanced toward the stairs. “I promise once we get Josette settled, then we can talk about expanding our family.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“I love you.”

He said the words all the time, and I believed him to be sincere, but they still took my breath away every time. “In a forever kind of way?”

“In athank God you didn’t marry my sisterkind of way.”

We laughed.

Then he pulled me onto his lap, drew my lips down to his, and kissed me soundly.

Yeah, we’d be okay. Whatever came next, we’d handle it.

Together.

Forever.

The Secret Boyfriend

A Mission City gay romance novella

Gabbi Grey

Cameron

I’m a contented dentist in the small town of Mission City. I have my patients, my community, and my best friend Kade, who just married Tanner. Great guys. Only now I’m a little jealous. For fifteen years, I’ve heard of Kade’s exploits as a single gay man. So when I’m propositioned by a man at a bonfire, I’m super curious. Why not see what all the fuss is about? Then I discover the identity of the guy who offered me such pleasure, and things go sideways.

Jasper

A month ago, at the ripe old age of twenty-two, I finally left my hometown after my ex’s cheating dumped my clueless ass to the curb. Betrayed and hurt, I headed south to make my own way, and I’ve been crushing on Cameron since I met him soon after I arrived in town. We’re in the same badminton league, but he’s way out of my league in the romance department. Still, under the cover of night, I offer him some delights. All goes well until my identity is revealed. Can we forge a relationship that began with an omission?

The Secret Boyfriendis a 25k bi-awakening, age-gap, opposites attract, gay romance with an uptight dentist who’s never let loose, a mischievous younger gardener who knows what he wants, and the night that changes everything for them.
