GERALD was back at the ledgers later in the evening, wearing running shorts from his gym bag, the unbuttoned dress shirt, smudged glasses, and mussed hair. He read along, checking items against a list he’d made, tapping at the keyboard periodically, humming quietly.

Brett sat across from him studiously refusing to look at his lover. The sight of Gerald there, so obviously recently well-fucked, was more of a temptation than any man should be expected to resist. A part of him wanted to take Gerald back to bed and fuck him again. Another part simply marveled at the ease he felt sitting there. Sure, the glasses were still an incredible turn-on, but Brett pretty much stayed turned on around Gerald even without them. More than that, he was amazed at how incredibly right it felt to have Gerald there with him, doing ordinary things.

“Stay tonight?” The request was out even before Brett realized the desire had formed.

The typing stopped. “Okay,” Gerald said amiably, pleased to be asked. It felt good to be with Brett, and it was no more difficult to drive into work from here than from home. Except tonight, he didn’t have clothes for tomorrow. “I’ll have to leave pretty early, but you’ll be up anyway.”

“Yeah,” Brett agreed, more than a little bemused by the simplicity of Gerald’s reply. Did nothing faze the man? Other than rimming, anyway? “Work starts here far earlier than it does anywhere else.”

“Yeah, I remember,” Gerald said, smiling at him across the table. “I get up early, but not usually at the crack of dawn,” he teased.

Brett shrugged. “The horses get hungry. That’s the way a farm works.”

“I understand,” Gerald said, accepting the statement like any other irrefutable truth. “I’d help out in the stables, but I’ll need to go home and get clothes for work.”

The sudden desire to have Gerald there every morning left Brett nearly speechless. He nodded dumbly in reply to Gerald’s comment, his mind whirling as he tried to figure out how to suggest his lover bring clothes so he wouldn’t have to leave so early the next time he stayed.

Gerald frowned as an odd look crossed Brett’s face. “Brett?”

“Huh?” Brett said, returning to the moment and pushing aside the desire as far too sudden to mention just yet.

“You just got the weirdest look on your face. If there’s something you forgot, I can go ahead home,” Gerald offered, his own brow creased in concern.

“No, not at all,” Brett replied hastily. “Just a stray thought, that’s all. I’d really like it if you stayed.”

Gerald’s charmed smile returned. “Me too. Maybe half an hour, and I’ll be at a stopping point with this,” he said as he tapped the pencil against his cheek.

“Take your time,” Brett answered automatically. “I’ve always got paperwork to do.”

Gerald nodded, happy that Brett seemed okay, and he went back to the ledgers and laptop, ready to be done so they could spend some more time together before bed.

Brett’s mind raced as he completed the standard supply orders, filling in the columns without conscious thought.
