Once he’s had his fill of that, we take the giant slide of death down about a hundred times. Every time, Kai gets up with a bright smile, then goes back to the top for another round. I hate this fucking slide, but if it makes him this happy, I’ll suck it up for him and slide down over and over.

He opts to skip the carousel and go straight to the games. We start out at ring toss. Neither of us win, but we have a great time tossing the rings around the jars. We don’t even get one seated properly. I’m sure if we weren’t here for fun, Kai would have stabbed the guy for running a rigged game.

“I got this,” I tell him when we get to duck shoot. Kai is great with his gun, but I’m a fucking marksman. “I’ll win you a bear. Which one?”

Giving me a deadpan look, he points to a large purple dragon. I blow him a kiss and shoot down the three ducks I have to so I can earn my prize.

The attendant congratulates me and hands me the dragon. I give it to Kai with a kiss to his forehead. He stuffs it under his arm, raising his mouth to mine.

“Let me win you one,” he says against my lips.

He drags me over to balloon pop, where they have larger stuffed animals. I point to the biggest one they have. “How many do I have to pop to get that one?” Kai asks the attendant.

“All ten,” she says, handing him ten darts. “Good luck, sir.”

“Don’t need luck when you have skill.”

I scoff. The balloons aren’t blown up big enough for Kai to hit all ten.

My mouth is hanging open when he throws the last dart, popping the tenth balloon. The attendant looks impressed as well, smiling at the board where all the darts are stuck. “Great job, sir. Here you go.” She hands him the oversized teddy bear and he presents it to me with a flourish.

Chuckling, I take it and wrap one arm around it and throw the other arm around his shoulder. “Want some funnel cake? Candied apple? Cotton candy?”

“All three. I’ve never had any of it.”

Grabbing his hand, I pull him to the concession stand and he orders everything he wants. After we get our food, we sit at the table set up by the stand.

Kai looks around, his eyes shining with an emotion I think I can identify, but don’t want to call him out on. “This is…Carter, this is amazing. No one has ever done something like this for me.”

I take one of his hands and bring it to my lips. “I’ll give you anything you want, Kaison.”

“Yeah?” he asks with a crooked smile.

I roll my eyes. “Within reason.”

The groan that he releases when he bites into his funnel cake goes straight to my dick. “This is so good. Fuck, I’ve been missing out.”

His hand still in mine, I give it a squeeze. “I’ll make sure you never miss out again.”

Kai

After I tearinto my funnel cake and drink some of the best lemonade I’ve ever had, we walk around the grounds, making slow loops to let our food settle before we get on the Ferris wheel.

I bite into the candied apple, loving the contrast of sweet and tangy. Apple juice dribbles down my chin and Carter takes a napkin from his pocket and wipes it before leaning in and licking the rest away. An unbidden laugh bubbles up my throat.

“Tastes good,” he murmurs, dropping a kiss on my lips.

He’s been doing that a lot lately, kissing me randomly. Doesn’t seem to matter where we are and who’s around. When he feels like it, Carter kisses me and smiles every time I lean in for more when he pulls away. He knows he has me strung out on his lips.

I polish off the candied apple and get started on the cotton candy. The sweet treat melts on my tongue and I hum. Plucking a piece into my mouth, I stop Carter and stand on my tiptoes. He grins before sliding his tongue into my mouth, collecting the sugar before it dissolves completely.

He doesn’t stop immediately, kissing me slowly and thoroughly. I get lightheaded from how he kisses me, but I don’t stop him. I simply hold on to his shoulders and allow him to plunder my mouth as he likes.

I’m breathless when he releases my lips, and my cock is straining in my pants.

Stepping away, I continue to walk around the small fair, taking it all in. When Carter said he had a surprise for me, I didn’t think it was something like this. The fact that he paid enough attention to me when I told him I never rode a Ferris wheel or went to a fair means more than I could say.

If I wasn’t sure before, I’m sure now. I’m in love with Carter. I fell for him gradually. Every little act, every touch, every kiss brought me closer and closer to the precipice. I had no choice but to tip over the edge.
