“YOU’RE NOT young, you know. I can hear your arteries clogging up even as we speak.”

Eddie’s eyes narrowed over the maple pastry he was gnawing at. On the plate in front of him were two more maple logs and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was the size of a hubcap.

“Here we go with the ‘old man’ thing again. One night in my bed and the nagging begins. You young whippersnappers really get my goat, you know that?”

Gray laughed and reached over to pillage Eddie’s plate, breaking off half the cookie and snatching it away.

Watching with exaggerated horror, Eddie snarled. “And thievery too. Now you’re really asking for trouble.”

They were sitting at the kitchen table naked. Eddie had pulled his chair all the way forward so their knees could touch below. Gray had asked for, and consumed, a ham sandwich, because he said he wasn’t much on sweets. Now here he was devouring Eddie’s four-dollar, store-bought cookie without so much as a please or thank you.

Eddie glanced through the kitchen window. A second storm front had blown in. Now the only light in the house, aside from the occasional flash of lightning, was a candle burning on the kitchen counter. That was because the power had gone out about an hour ago and still hadn’t come back on.

It was maybe an hour before dawn, but both men were wide-awake. The rain still sluiced down, and Eddie had the old gas furnace cranked up as high as it would go to warm the house. The dogs were lounging around close to the warm air flowing out of the floor vent in the corner. Louie had burrowed under Lucretia’s chin to keep warm, and Fred was snoring like a rhinoceros. The cats were nestled together in a multicolored puddle on the living room couch, their four tails fanned out around them like the blades on a pinwheel.

Gray watched Eddie closely. There was a playfulness in his astonishingly pale eyes that Eddie had never seen before. Eddie liked to think he had been a wee bit instrumental in putting it there.

“Reminds me of last night,” Gray said around a secretive smile.

Eddie’s eyebrows shot up. “What does?”

“That dribble of white custard that just squirted out of your maple log and landed on your chin.” Blood rushed to the back of Eddie’s neck, and his cheeks began to burn. A smile spread across his face, but there was nothing innocent about it. He figured they had gotten past the innocent stage hours ago, maybe right about the time Gray shot his second load of jism down Eddie’s throat.

“I tried to keep up,” he said, waving a hand blithely through the air, “but you were coming like a race horse. A splash or two may have escaped in the turmoil. I can’t be everywhere at once, you know.”

“I’ve never been to bed with anyone as old as you.”

“You really are an asshole.”

“I’ve never been to bed with anyone as sexy as you.”

“Well, maybe not a total asshole.
