What will be will be.
Max brought himself back into reality and felt happy to have had such a good time that afternoon. The time spent atBark Buddieswas like nothing Max had experienced before in his life.
Well,almostnothing.
As Max and Channing made their way back home, Max couldn’t help but remember the summers he would spend at his Aunt Dolly’s house. With both of Max’s parents either working full time or off on a crazy adventure, Max would often find himself spending extended periods of time with his Aunt Dolly at her large country house.
And this meant one thing… dogs.
All of the tail-wagging, fun-loving dogs that Max could handle in fact.
Spending time with the dogs atBark Buddiesimmediately took Max back to his youth and helped him to rediscover the sheer joy and freedom he felt when playing with a pack of excitable, loving dogs.
Maybe I need my own pack. Or at least one little pup to look after.
I’m too old to be a lone wolf now.
If only I could settle down, I might just like it…
As Max and Channing arrived at Channing’s apartment, the pair of them were in great spirits. The journey back fromBark Buddieshad been full of banter, and to say that it had taken a flirtatious turn would be something of an understatement.
Max had even been willing to forget the fact that Channing drove a dreaded electric car rather than a real, gas guzzling internal combustion engine.
Well, almost…
‘You know, the batteries in electric cars are bad for the environment too…’ Max said, arching his eyebrow and trying to hide how much he loved the slick interior of Channing’s car.
‘Pffft, that’s just anti-electric propaganda!’ Channing said, dismissively and a little too sassily for Max’s liking. ‘I think I’d know if electric cars had any significant environmental impact.’
Max shook his head and laughed.
This boy was begging for a spanking.
It was however good to see Channing standing up for what he believed in though.
Just like it had been great to see Channing so loose and fun-loving atBark Buddies. Max had been worried that corporate life had stiffened Channing up beyond repair, but seeing Channing running around and having so much fun with the dogs made it clear that Channing was still very much the same guy who Max had met at college.
Max was feeling on a real high.
It wasn’t just the fun of running around with all the excitable pups that did it either. Max had enjoyed helping the older dogs too, the ones who needed a bit more help and patience in getting from one place to another.
All in all, as far as Max was concerned it had been the perfect afternoon and the kind of memory he would cherish forever.
But now that they were both back in the apartment, there was a certain tension in the air that neither one of them could ignore…
‘Come here,’ Max said, a firm tone in his voice as a nervous Channing stood a few feet away from him in the apartment’s living area. ‘Come here rightnow.’
Max could feel the adrenalin begin to pump around his body as a suddenly very shy Channing walked over toward him.
Channing looked super-cute. Channing’s blue eyes and blonde hair were the perfect complement to the dimples in his cheeks as he smiled shyly.
‘Are… you… stillinto… things?’ Channing said, his voice betraying just how nervous he was.
‘Are you?’ Max replied, placing his hands on Channing’s slender waist, and holding it in place.
Channing simply nodded.
‘Same safeword?’ Max said, maintaining eye contact as he felt his cock stiffen inside his jeans.
