“You know, I don’t think we’ve danced since the wedding.” Gage nudged his husband. “Dance with me, babe.”
Ulric cracked a smile. “Right now?”
“Why not? We could show Florin and Sage, too.”
The only other time Gage had seen Ulric dance was when he’d done it with Wilkie, back in the kitchen so long ago. Gage pulled Ulric to his feet; the boys scampered off, and Ulric put on the waltz music they’d played after the wedding. The dulcet notes of a saxophone purred through the room; Gage’s heart skipped.
“Still remember how to dance?” Ulric grinned mischievously.
“You might have to show me.” Gage held Ulric close, squeezing his love handles. “Gorgeous.”
Ulric let Gage lead the dance—really because it was easier for him to match Gage’s footwork, than for Gage to try and keep up.
Joy bloomed through Ulric’s face as the music filled their chests. Fifteen seconds in, the boys came running up, reaching for Gage and Ulric, wanting to join in. Ulric laughed.
“Is there such a thing as a family waltz?” Gage asked. “Four of us in a circle?”
“I don’t know, but I’ve seen two-year-olds dance before.” Ulric looked excited. “I think we’ll be able to teach them.”
They had Sage and Florin join in, one boy on each side. Ulric started the music over, showing their children the basic steps of a waltz. Five minutes in, the boys were mimicking him, fumbling a little, but they were all having fun.
Then the boys got distracted, Florin wandering off to cuddle with his stuffed dino, Sage following him. Gage pulled Ulric back into a slow waltz, pressing their bodies together.
None of Gage’s internet mailing list had this kind of fortune.
“What’s so funny?” Gage frowned.
“Nothing.” Ulric bit down his smile. “It’s just... I used to imagine you had this mailing list. You know how some online stores have a button? ‘Notify me when this item becomes available again.’ Except it was a mailing list for when you became available.”
Gage furrowed his brow. “Why?”
“Because everyone would want a piece of you!” Ulric laughed. “I figured there’d be a long line of people waiting for your attention—five hundred? Two thousand? And I’d never get a chance.”
Gage shook his head, smiling, too. “I suppose that’s possible. None of those mailing list people got me, though.”
“Nope.” Ulric looked at Gage’s arms around him, so happy that Gage’s heart skipped.
As the next song began, Gage pulled Ulric into yet another dance.
“How about we do this for the rest of our lives?” Gage murmured, kissing his alpha. “You and me and our children, and all the love in the world.”
Ulric turned his hand toward Gage, his ring sitting snug on his finger. The warmth in his gaze melted Gage’s heart. “I already promised it, Gage. You’d better be in for the long haul.”
Gage laughed and kissed him harder, grateful for everything. “Definitely, babe.”
