"I donate to a rehab facility, and I help out at a halfway house too."

"Help out?"He frowns."You volunteer your time there?"

"No, just supplies."

"Good."He opens his arms, and I walk in.He nuzzles my neck and says."I have a busy day planned."

"Me too."

"Quick shower.Go on up and get started.I'll get your clothes from the car."

When we shipped the car, we packed several suitcases of my clothes and other essential personal items, like my computer and my gun.

As I head up the stairs, I hear him say, "Alfred, turn the shower water on."

"Yes, Sir."

The front door closes.

As soon as I enter the master suite, I have the urge to look around, but I hurry into the shower, knowing Aurei used the word 'quick' for a reason.I'll have time to take a look around later.I console myself.

I've finished bathing when my Golden God slides in.I take the soap, spin him around and bathe his beautiful body.

He tells me."I'll do kitchen duties if you agree to do bath duties.That feels so unbelievably good."

"Deal for now, but I do want to learn to cook."

When he's clean and rinsed and we're drying off, he gives me a quick lesson on how to operate the dressing room.

Impressive is the only word I can think of."I'm going to be so spoiled rotten!"

Once we are dressed, he puts his gun in his shoulder harness, checks the bullets in the chamber of my Ruger LCR, makes sure it is secure and hands my gun to me."I'll take you to the indoor range later to analyze your skill level and your accuracy for myself, but if Brutus trusts you with it, you are to keep this on you at all times.That's non-negotiable."

"Yes, dear!"I roll my eyes, take the gun, pick up my jacket, and slide it into the special pocket sewn in for concealed carry.

At the top of the stairs, I stop and ask."Have you slid down the railing yet?"

"Not yet."

I swing my leg over and let go."Whee!"I scream as I gain speed.At the end, I plank on it and shoot off."Fucking awesome!"I tell him."Your turn!"

I hear him say, "What the hell."Then he swings his leg over and slides down to, only he controls the speed and nimbly dismounts at the bottom.

I jump on him and give him a quick peck."That was fun, wasn't it?"

He laughs with me then takes my hand."Yes, it was."

As we walk down the drive to my car, I squeeze that golden hand and stop him.He turns to look at me."I'm going to miss you."

He chuckles."We are pitiful, you know."

"I know.We are!"I glide into his open arms."To have each been loners before, look at us now.Hating to be apart even for a few hours."

He stares into my eyes and pushes a stray strand of hair behind my ear."You drive straight to your apartment.Don't go anywhere else, and don't stop anywhere."

I roll my eyes."You sound like my father when I learned to drive."

He grins."You did call me Daddy last night."
