Maceo turns off the shower and steps toward me in all his naked wet glory. Shakily, I hand him a towel, which he takes and starts drying off. “Hmm. I think our safe word should be ‘ice cream.’”
I snort. “Seriously? ‘Ice cream’ is my safe word? Why don’t we use the word ‘stop?’ It’s pretty clear what I want when using it.”
He shrugs. “It’s both of ours’, by the way. There may be things I don’t want you to do to me. And what’s wrong with ‘ice cream?’”
I put my hands up in surrender. “‘Ice cream’ it is then.” I really could care less. I’m just happy we have a safe word established.
Maceo finishes drying off. “I’ll go along with you to the MC clubhouse and have the tour if you promise to take the weekend off. I know you’ve been working your crew ‘round the clock and you’ll be with them if they’re on-site. I’ve been away from you for far too long, and I want some time alone.”
I lean back on the counter and admire the giant raven wings tattooed on his back. “Yeah, I heard Jared working his magic on you. It’s a deal, as long as I get to pick where we eat lunch.”
“As long as it’s not Brazilian, Colombian, or anything from South America.” He cringes. “I can’t stomach any more of it.”
“Good ‘ole American then, burger food truck by the university perhaps?” I suggest with hope.
Maceo smiles and bright white teeth take over his handsome face. “Perfect.”

Thirty minutes later we’re back on the build site with me towing Maceo by the hand, showing off everything we’ve completed. I’m not oblivious to the smiles and sniggers of my crew members behind my back as we pass. They’re not very discreet with the winks and appreciative nods they give Maceo. A couple of them fist bump him as we walk by. I’d glare at all of them if I wasn’t beyond blissed right now.
Jared is practically jumping when I give the all clear for the weekend off. He gets out the megaphone to inform everyone, and the relief is evident from the crew as they erupt in cheers.
Maceo’s pleased with everything completed so far, and he’s on board with what’s in the works. We go into the trailer where I add the upgrades he wants done in his bathroom, as well as a security gate he wants installed at the approach where you enter into the grounds. Once it’s done, I take a final walk around the site to check on everyone and answer questions for my team.
Saying goodbye for the day, I grab my bag, get in my car, and follow Maceo toward Colorado State University where a variety of food trucks are parked and feeding patrons. I pick my favorite burger truck and we both order the same mushroom and swiss Angus burger, with a side of fries for one and onion rings for the other.
I slap his hand away when he tries to pull out his wallet. As soon as my palm cracks against his hand, his pupils blow out with lust.
“Mmm. Again,” he purrs at me with a devious smile.
Whoa!I choke down a laugh. “Maybe later. But seriously put your wallet away. This is my treat.”
We find a shaded spot under some Gambel oaks and dive in to our flattop grilled burgers.
“So goooooood,” Maceo says around his food.
I laugh as I snag another onion ring from him. “It’s all the grease.”
Maceo nods through a mouthful of food. “I definitely needed this. I know it was only three weeks, but I missed American food. We were limited in what we could eat on the mission. It’s not like a group of foreigners can just walk into a restaurant without raising some red flags. We ate what we could get from the local food vendors, meaning a lot of local cuisine. It’s great for a week, but you grow tired of it and lose your appetite. I probably lost ten pounds.”
“Well, maybe after this we should get frozen custard. I ran ten miles this morning. I could use the extra calories, too.”
Maceo’s eyes grow bright as he looks at me. “I fucking love you,” he mumbles around his food.
After, lunch we walk around downtown chatting, that’s it. Getting to know each other like any normal couple would, the only difference between us and the general population is we do everything backward. First, we fuck. Second, we confess our love for each other. And third, we get to know each other. It’s not for everybody and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else, but for us it worked out that way.
Toward afternoon, we finally grab the frozen custard I promised him. We find a park bench along the river and enjoy our desserts.
“Will you stay with me tonight?” I ask as I finish my cone.
Maceo grins. “I was planning on it,” he admits with a wink. “But I need to stop by the MC rental and get some clothes. Gauge brought my bag back from the mission. I have nothing on me but the clothes on my back.”
“I can go with you,” I offer, smiling up at him from where I’m leaning on his shoulder. “That way if you wanted to pack a bigger bag, you could throw it in my car.”
The grin on Maceo’s face grows wider. “Oh, I would like that very much. I definitely need the alone time with you. I’d offer for you to stay at the rental but you would need to sleep on top of me in the twin bed, and we would have three other roommates, not to mention the potential of them bringing a bunny into the room.”
“A bunny?” I question. “No offense, but you don’t come across as a group of guys who would keep rodents as pets.”
