"Yeah. Fine." We walk the rest of the way in silence, and when we get to the back patio, he says, "I might take off."
"What about lunch? It's my treat, remember?"
He tucks his hands into the pockets of his shorts. "I've got a few errands I need to run."
"But it'sfree food. You never decline free food."
He claps me on the back. "Maybe I'm finally growing up."
"Now you're just scaring me."
He pulls me in for a brief side hug then takes off with a "Later, man."
"Thanks for all your help," I call out after him.
He waves over his shoulder but doesn't look back.
I dig out my phone and text Court to find out when he'll be arriving. I need backup. I am over straight men and their moods.

"It totally slipped my mind. I am so sorry," Buzz says, scratching his arm, leaning against the wall by the entrance to the kitchen.
I finish lighting the fifty millionth candle and walk over to him. "It's fine," I say, cradling his face between my hands. "I like it. In fact…" I lower my voice. "I secretly think you did it on purpose."
"You think I forgot to set up the electricity reconnection on purpose?"
I chuckle. "Take a look around. What do you see?"
I've spent the past half hour putting all the IKEA tea lights I've collected over the years to good use.
"A fire hazard."
"Take off your fire helmet and look at this place through boyfriend eyes."
He slowly takes in the warm glow of the place we're going to call home for hopefully many, many years to come, and his face relaxes as he smiles. "Boyfriend eyes see something very romantic and intimate."
"Exactly." I boop his nose, grinning. "The perfect setting for christening our new home."
His eyes meet mine. "I guess we should get in all the sex we can before the baby arrives."
"We'll still have sex once the baby arrives," I counter.
"I think you're severely underestimating the calamity we're in for, but I like your optimism."
"You like my dick even more. Now get down on your knees and service me."
Heat ignites behind his eyes. "Right here?"
"Right everywhere. I'm going to fuck you in every square inch of this house."
"It’s a 2,400-square-foot house."
I chuckle darkly. "Exactly. So you'd better get to work."
Buzz drops to his knees and frees my already hard and dripping cock from my shorts. I lean against the wall as he slides his tongue over my slit.
