The coffee smell on my clothes is rancid tonight. Opening the door, I hear the commotion of Dave and Greg gaming together. And the smell of pizza. “Ah, maybe you’ll find a worthy opponent with Ashton,” Greg teases.
“Someone needs to be knocked down a peg or two, asshole,” I call back to him before I’m in the living room. They have beat me to this little party of ours, having finished a twelve pack by themselves.
“The pizza just got here, and we have two more twelve-packs to make our way through tonight.”
Dave and Greg are playing a different game from last night. I point to the screen, with Greg killing everything in sight. “Shit. That’s not fair, I’ve not played that one before.”
“Oh, the puppy is playing theno faircard tonight,” Dave coos, tossing me a beer I barely manage to catch.
“Fuck, man, I hope you didn’t play baseball. That was a flimsy throw.” He flips me off, and with an amused smile, I return the gesture, all while rooting through the pizza boxes for a slice of cheese only.
The phone rings in mid bite. “Hey, Greg, be sure to kill Dave some more on that game. I got to take this. Then a quick shower. I’ll be out in a half an hour.”
“Yeah, you smell pretty rank. But only a half an hour?” I hear Dave question.
There’s a snort, followed by, “Whaddya bet they’re having phone sex?”
The idiots. They’re actually quite likable after all. Shutting the door behind me, I answer Noah’s call.
“Hey,” I say, taking another bite of the pizza.
“Hey to you. You seem out of breath.”
“Just escaping the living room, where my roommates are drinking and gaming. Dave wants to play against me, because he may stand a chance of winning. No one can win against Greg. I swear, he should be a professional gamer.”
I finish the last bite of the pizza and wish I’d grabbed another piece.
“I wanted to talk to you about tomorrow.”
“Yeah?” I ask.
“What would you say about meeting at Kate’s studio in the morning? I have something I want to show you.”
I have something I want to show him too, but I keep it to myself.
“And I’ll come get you—”
“It’s no problem. Let me just meet you there.”
He doesn’t argue with me.
“Okay, but you have to pack a bag. Please stay with me tomorrow night?” he asks. There’s a vulnerability in his tone, and my weak, stupid heart swells at his words.
“Of course, I’ll stay with you tomorrow night,” I answer. He lets out a long gust of air through the phone and it makes me smile. “You know, I thought of you all day. Every time I had a second to myself, it was you. Your laugh, the way you caress my cheek, oh, and that thing you do with your tongue.”
His chuckle radiates through the phone. “I kind of like that thing I do with my tongue, too.” His sensual flirt has my cock standing at half-mast already.
“Fuck, I have to go out and try to beat Dave at Call of Duty in thirty minutes, and I can’t when my cock is ready to stand at attention.” One more visual is all it’ll take.
“Okay, I’ll be good,” he promises, but I’m not sure he can keep his promise.
“So, what are you doing tonight?” I ask.
“Liam is coming over to play pool. He’s bringing his work husband with him. I swear, those two bicker like a married couple.”
“Oh, fuck, I have so many questions.” I pause remembering yesterday. “Hey, where were you last night? I tried to call you around two a.m.”
“Oh, you’ll find that I’m a night owl. I have this bad habit. I’ll work in my studio, and lose all perception of time. I’ve been known to work over twenty-four hours nonstop. When I’m in the zone, it’s all I know. I got started on a new project yesterday and didn’t stop until five in the morning.”
