Hearing the words sent a pleasant shock through Pete. “I love you too,” he said, the words foreign enough to make him redden as he said them. He was grateful Trevor’s face was turned away so he couldn’t see Pete’s flustered blush. 193

Trevor chuckled. “You say that now but what about when I start to drive you nuts?”
“‘Start’?”
“Hey!”
Pete laughed. “I’ll still love you.”
“What about when we fight about what kind of kitchen tile to get?”
“Still love you.”
“How about when I flush the toilet while you’re in the shower?”
Pete frowned. “I’ll be pissed but I suppose I’ll still love you.”
Twisting his head around, Trevor kissed him, short and sweet. “Good.” He settled back into his pillow. “And I’ll still love you even when you’re annoying.”
“I’m never annoying.” Pete grinned as Trevor elbowed him.
“Hah.” His voice was slurring a little from sleepiness. “What about when you’re bossy?”
Pete pulled him closer. “You love me even more then.”
“S’pose that’s true.” Trevor yawned. “Did I mention I love this bed?”
“Yeah.”
“Did I mention I love you?”
Pete smiled. “Yeah.”
“Good.”
Yes it was.

About the Author
Katie Allen grew up in the Midwest with a horde of sisters (five) and one beleaguered brother. After an enjoyable four years working on her creative writing/art degree, and two not-so-pleasant years struggling toward her MBA, Katie somehow ended up as a mechanical engineer in Denver, Colorado. When her job disappeared during the recession, it was the kick in the rear she needed to head back to Minnesota and jump into writing full-time.
When she’s not writing (many books are necessary to pay for her unfortunate equine addiction), Katie rides horses, reads (of course), does gymnastics and looks for new (and occasionally insane) ways to research her books (cop school, anyone?). Katie welcomes comments from readers. You can find her website and e-mail
