A Little Sin

Avery sighed. “I guess you can go back to just being a veterinarian now.”
“I’ll always be your deputy,” Garland told him. “Any time you need me, I’ll be here.”

Garland sighed in the soothing darkness and pulled Avery’s head onto his chest. Katydid turned around three times at the foot of the bed and settled. The kittens scrambled onto the bed and lilted around his and Avery’s legs. The music of the crickets and frogs drifted through the cracked-open window. “I love you,” he told Avery, riffling his dark hair.
Garland could feel the lashes of Avery’s nearest eye grazing his chest. “I love you, too,” Avery said softly. “And I’m not sorry for it.”
