Liam tried to say something, but Milo placed his finger on his beautiful lips. “Quiet, baby, let me finish. I knew there would never be anyone else for me the day after we buried Lily and I held you in the bathroom. I haven’t permitted myself to go near you since.”
Milo saw Liam’s face come alive with emotion.
“You had to know how I felt about you,” Liam said. “The whole f*****g world knows how I feel about you!” Liam made to pull away.
Milo kissed him reverently, almost chastely, but with a hint of all of what he reined in. “I promised your mother, baby. I promised Lily I would do the right thing by you, and the right thing does not include seducing an underage boy who might feel like he has to perform to continue to maintain a roof over his head.”
“Why are you telling me this now?”
