“Yep.”
“Well, if that ain’t love, I don’t know what is. Where is the E-man?”
“He’s in his hidey hole at Ezra’s Place.”
Ezra had taken a job that allowed him to work remotely in New Orleans with a company that provided database software for non-profit organizations. Ezra had started in an entry-level position in tech support, but because of his advanced abilities in fixing bugs and cleaning code, he’d recently been promoted to a backend developer. He’d also claimed one of the restaurant booths as his unofficial office and used it as a place to work while keeping up his sustenance. Roman left a stack of twenties by the front door for Ezra to use as tip money since he seldom kept cash on him. Roman was pretty sure the staff fought over his table because he demanded very little and tipped very well.
“Why doesn’t he work here?” Jay asked.
“He said that if he stays here, we’ll both distract him.” Roman couldn’t argue. Both he and Nugget were greedy for Ezra’s attention.
“Well, he’d better be home soon. I’m finally about to win in Risk.”
“We’ll see,” Roman said with good humor. Jay had made that promise before.
“Nope, I can feel it this time.” Jay rubbed his hands together. “Global domination, baby.”
But sadly enough for Jay, that didn’t happen. Once Jay had gotten his fair chance at beating Ezra (and failing), and after Roman had taken Nugget for his evening walk, it was just the two of them cuddled up in bed. As Nugget was still being house-trained, the dog slept in an oversized crate in the living room, which Ezra had outfitted as a lavish dog den complete with a soft flannel bed and chew toys.
“I really love my birthday present,” Ezra said softly while drawing his nimble fingers down the center of Roman’s chest. He wore a crop-top with a math pun on the front of it and nothing below the waist, which was a pretty clear indicator that sexy times were ahead. The skimpy clothing allowed for Roman’s hands to wander freely to the juicy globes of Ezra’s ass, which he squeezed intermittently.
“I really loveyou, cutie,” Roman said as his lips drifted across his beloved’s forehead.
“I love you more,” Ezra said sweetly.
“You sure about that?” Roman wasn’t going to argue the point, but if someone had told him a year ago that he was going to welcome a stray pit bull into his home just to make his new husband happy, he would not have believed it. That said, he had no regrets.
“Oh, yes.” Ezra drew back the covers and climbed on top of him so that he was straddling Roman’s hips, his dainty cock flopping against Roman’s lengthening one and enticing him to rise to his full potential. “And I want toshowyou how much I love you,” Ezra said huskily, already with that sex-addled look in his eyes. “I want to show you howgratefulI am.”
Roman still didn’t understand how Ezra made common language sound so damn sexy. Maybe it was because Roman believed every single word he said. “And how are you going to show me, sweetness?”
“However you want, daddy,” Ezra teased. He took hold of Roman’s hand and drew his forefinger into his mouth, tonguing the tip and sucking the length of his digit like it was a cock. The slippery, wet feel of Ezra’s tongue against his skin sent a ripple of desire right through him, all the way down to his curling toes.
“Daddy, huh?” Roman asked. This was a new, though not unwelcome, development.
“You’re a dog daddy now, and youaremy older lover.”
“And husband,” Roman said, lest he forget. “And yes, thank you for reminding me of my advanced age.”
“You’re welcome.” Ezra, undeterred, rolled his hips so that their hardening dicks shifted against one another. He let out a ragged breath and a needy moan that sounded like a high-pitched “enhhh.” Roman considered Ezra’s noises to be his own pornographic soundtrack that replayed in his mind at the most random of times. “Aren’t I your good little boy, daddy?” Ezra asked.
“Yes, except you forgot to feed Nugget this afternoon.”
“I was working,” Ezra said with a frown. “And when I got home, you’d already fed him.”
Roman, now with one hand squeezing Ezra’s plump little ass, was starting to like this game very much. “And yesterday, I caught the two of you cuddled up on your chair in the living room.” They’d both been fast asleep, so adorable that Roman had snapped a picture and sent it to Wendy.
“Nugget is a good cuddler.”
“Better than me?” Roman asked.
Ezra shook his head slowly, then pushed back on his haunches to bow down before him and take a long, deep slurp of Roman’s cock while watching his face for a reaction. “Damn, babe, that’s the spot.” Roman rolled his hips, thrusting into his hubby’s hot, eager mouth, but Ezra was only taunting him, and Roman missed the warm suction when he sat up again.
“Maybe I have been a little bit bad lately,” Ezra conceded with a sensuous pout. “Maybe I need a spanking.” His mouth turned upward at the corners in a devilish grin, and his eyebrows lifted as if the idea had only just occurred to him, though Roman knew better. After all, it was on their new sexy times list.
“Maybe you do.” Roman rose and wrested a lingering kiss from his lover’s teasing lips, then guided Ezra over his lap. His nimble body was moldable as clay as he adjusted his arms and legs to his liking, posing him so that his knees were bent and his ass was high in the air. Ezra arched backward causing his little shirt to ruck up past his nipples and expose his ribs and the sides of his soft belly, prime tickling real estate if he wasn’t careful. Meanwhile, Ezra’s cock and balls dangled between his pale thighs like swollen fruit, ripe for the picking.
“You are a thirsty boy,” Roman said with appreciation while smoothing one hand along Ezra’s soft flank. He massaged and tugged at his testicles to gauge their tightness.
