Paradise Valley, AZ

Randy was going through a refrigerator for something to eat although he wasn't hungry. He was bored and in the absence of his boyfriend John, the man had become a spare time snacker. He heard the tinkling of metal and peeked around the large door to see his four dogs standing there. The pups knew that if he snacked, they were more than likely to get a snack. They would all be fat by the time John returned home

"Sorry guys." Randy said shutting the door as his phone rang. He picked it up and smiled. "Hey Sheena."

"Hey Randella." John said with a yawn

"What are you doing up so early?" It was currently 5:48 am in Switzerland where John was on business

"I'm fighting a cold so I slept like shit. I figured I would give you a call before it got too late there." Between Arizona and Switzerland there was an eight hour time difference

"How did you get a cold?"

"How do you get colds, Randella? I assumed I picked up sick germs from somewhere."

"You nasty."

"Shut up. How are you?"

"Good, bored but good."

"Did I interrupt you eating?"

"I was in the fridge when you called, yes, but I didn't find anything. You need to hurry up and get back so I can stop eating like a fat-ass."

"Don't blame your lack of willpower on me."

"It's not a lack of willpower, Sheena."

"Then what is it?"

"...when are you coming home again?" John chuckled

"When I can get the hell out of here. Why? Do you miss me?" At home Randy stood in the kitchen toying the a piece of paper

"...no."

"Liar."

"Ew." Randy said when John's coughing turned into hacking. "Come home after that nastiness is out of your system."

"I'll do just that. Anyway, I'm getting off the phone so I can get some rest and so you can get ready for work or whatever you do at night while I'm not there."

"The fuck do you think I'm doing?"

"I have no idea...eating ice cream out of the carton with crushed potato chips on top?"

"Sheena. I like snacks, I'm not pregnant."

"Whatever." The older man said with a cough. "I'll call you later."

"Okay."

"By –"

"Sheena," Randy interrupted

"Yea?"

"I do miss you...but in the most gangster way."

"Of course," John said with a laugh. "I miss you too."

"Dinosaurs."

"Chicken nuggets." The men ended their call. In Switzerland, John made sure his alarm was actually set and crawled back under the covers of his hotel bed and in Arizona, Randy opened the door to let the dogs out then went to the master bedroom to prepare for bed and another night alone

Next Evening

Randy was in the refrigerator again but this time he was looking for ingredients for dinner. He froze when he thought that he heard the doorbell ring but continued what he was doing until he heard it again for sure. Turning the flame down on the pot he had boiling, Randy made his way to the front of the house

"Hey Thomas." He said opening the door

"Hey." The man said taking the liberty of stepping inside without being invited

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, um, Cody gave me this yesterday to drop off for him." Thomas explained handing the tall man a slip of folded paper. Randy opened it and saw that it was a check for this months' rent

"Why didn't he do it?"

"His dad is making him attend a work dinner. He wasn't sure what time it would be over and didn't want to come over too late...and if he'd given you the check tomorrow he would have technically been late and didn't want to be penalized like you did before."

"In my defense he was five days late without explanation." Thomas held his hands up

"You don't have to explain to me." Both men heard a loud sizzling noise but Randy sprinted toward the kitchen just in time to see his pot bubbling over. "You should turn the flame down." He jumped a little hearing the other man behind him

"I did."

"What are you making?"

"Lasagna."

"That seems like a lot for one person. John's still gone, right?"

"Yes and it is but I'm making it so I can have it for tomorrow too."

"Do you know when he's coming back?"

"What?"

"John...do you know when he's coming back?"

"No."

"You're not lonely here in this big house all by yourself?"

"Not really. I have the kids here with me."

"But that's not human contact." Randy stopped stirring the lasagna noodles and turned to Thomas

"What is your point right now? I know that dogs aren't human and I'm an adult so I'm more than capable of staying in a house without another adult here so get the fuck out of here with that bullshit."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa – calm down Rand. I just meant that John's been gone a while and no one's seen you. Just curious as to why you're not hanging out or anything." Randy narrowed his bespectacled eyes at Thomas. He wasn't sure the man was being truthful and he didn't want to look like a crazy person by going off on him if he was

"I just prefer to come home after work and relax." Thomas smiled making his already prominent dimples deeper

"Okay. I'm going to get out of here and get myself some dinner."

"Okay. Just pull the door shut behind you." The smile dropped a little when Randy didn't ask him to stay. Minutes after he thought Thomas had left, Randy heard the doorbell again and let out a frustrated sigh. "Oh now I'm about to cuss him smooth out." He said walking to the door but stopped when he saw who it was. John. Normally he would try to play it cool but he hadn't seen his love in almost a month and was excited. Randy threw the door open and hugged John tight making the shorter man laugh

"Oh good you're not fat." Randy laughed

"Shut the hell up Sheena."

"Can I come in the house?" He cleared his throat and let the man go. John grabbed his bags. "Hey guys!" He said to the dogs bouncing around him. He spent a solid two minutes scratching ears and rubbing bellies. "What are you cooking?"

"Lasagna."

"Oh." John said absently as he picked up the check on the island and looked at it. "I'm going to take a shower."

"Wait." He turned back and dropped his bags to the floor as his boyfriend nearly kissed the life out of him. John groaned as Randy's hands slipped under his shirt and caressed his smooth skin

"I'm so tired but fuck it. This can't wait." He said pulling at Randy's shirt. The men staggered out of the kitchen and over to a couch in the great room. Instead of landing perfectly on the cushions like in movies they hit the cushions but their momentum kept them going and they fell on the floor

"It's safer down here." Randy said

"Mmhm." John grunted out in agreeance. Once Randy was naked John moved down his body a took his throbbing cock in his mouth

"Oh god." Randy moaned while John sucked. They had Skyped quite a bit while John was away but he missed hearing the sounds in person. "That feels so good." He said as his boyfriend licked his tight hole. John slipped a finger into Randy and stroked the man slowly from the inside. Randy sat back on his elbows and watched John pleasure him which was an incredible turn on for him. "You're such a little cock slut John." The older man sucked harder and Randy whimpered. "Fuck me, fuck me...fuck me John."

"I'm sorry. Do you want me to fuck you?"

"Mmhm," The younger man moaned squirming around on the floor

"I don't know if I like not getting anything in return." John replied pushing the taller man's legs apart

"Don't be a bitch right now."

"Oh my god," He gasped slipping inside the warm passage. "I missed sex with you so much." He said thrusting

"Yea?"

"Yea."

"So fuck me like you missed it." Although he was tired John stroked Randy with his cock like he had a full night of sleep. The man's moaning turned him on a great deal and he wouldn't stop until the love of his life had an incredible orgasm. Randy angled his hips so that John was able to hit his prostate each time he thrust into him. "Oh. Fuck...me." Randy had missed John and he knew that he'd missed sex with him but he didn't realize how much until now. It was like the older man was in tune with his every need as he pounded him against the floor. "Harder. Make me cum." John put an arm on either side of the man on the floor and just drilled him

"I'm gonna cum Randy."

"Okay but me first." John knew that his boyfriend was close. He would never announce his arrival until he knew that Randy was close. "Fuck!" The tall man shouted climaxing hard. "Shit." He said shuddering

"Oh my god." John said panting. "Was that okay? Because I'm exhausted."

"That was better than okay Sheena...goddamn."

"I have to take that shower now."

"Would it be bad if I went over to the kitchen right now and put the lasagna in?"

"Hell no. I love your lasagna and I'm getting hungry. That shit could be bubbling while we're in the shower."

"Go take your shower Sheena and I'll get it "bubbling" so it's ready."

"Chicken nuggets!" John yelled on his way to the bedroom

Later

"How come you didn't tell me you were coming home so soon?"

"I wanted to surprise you...surprise Randella." John said with a cough

"Are you going to work tomorrow?"

"No."

"I have to go to work. I have meetings."

"Go to work then. I'll be here."

"I'm happy you're back though." John would love to be in a deep sleep right now but Randy was showing a soft side...something neither of them ever did. He turned to his side and looked at the other man

"I'm happy to be back."

"I don't want to go in the morning."

"You have to. I told you that I'll be here."

"I know...damn it Sheena."

"What?"

"You're making me feel emotions and I don't like that."

"I apologize now go to sleep please or at least let me go to sleep."

"Take your bitch ass to sleep then."

"Oh there it is!" Randy chuckled

"Goodnight Sheena. Dinosaurs."

"Goodnight with many many chicken nuggets."

Next Morning

"You're going to be late for work." John said kissing Randy as he lay on top of him. "And you're going to wrinkle your suit."

"What are you doing today?"

"Sleeping until my body adjusts back to this time zone."

"I don't think you can sleep off jetlag like that."

"I can try." Randy chuckled

"I'll see you later." He heard the older man grunt before pulling the blanket over his head

Later: Randy's Office

"Is John back home?" Evan asked

"Why?"

"You have a certain pep in your step today...you seem lighter. Like there's been a load taken off." He said trying not to laugh

"You are such a little perv, I swear."

"But is John home?"

"...he's home."

"Uh-huh. So your fluttering around here is not imagined."

"Don't I have a meeting soon?" Randy asked changing the subject. "What's the name?"

"Caballero." Evan answered. "What?" He asked when he noticed the other man's thinking face

"I think I know who it is but I'm not sure."

"Caballero isn't a popular name so you probably do know."

"I hope not."

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing. Just send him in when he gets here."

"Okay." The small man said with hesitation. Randy moved around his desk and took a seat in his chair. He closed the open files on his computer then spun his chair around and admired the view in an effort to calm down. A few minutes later his intercom buzzed

"Your next client's here, Randy."

"I told you to send him in when he got here." He snapped. Evan was shocked

"Okay...I'm sorry." The small man said. "You can go on in." Randy's 12 o' clock client came striding through the door

"Mr. Caballero." Thomas smiled

"Mr. Orton."

"What can I help you with today?"

"Well," Thomas said sliding into the seat across from Randy. "I need your financial expertise."

"On?"

"The best places to invest my money. How I should save for my retirement? You know, things of that nature."

"There are tons of places for you to invest. Do you have any interests? Is there any place you'd like to see it go?"

"Well you know what a lot of my interests are."

"Um, okay, right. When do you plan to retire? We can start there then map out a plan on the best way to get to that point." Randy sat through a meeting that was about 24 minutes too long thanks to Thomas getting off track multiple times. When it was finally over he walked the man to the door

"Hey John!" Thomas said with a huge smile

"Thomas."

"So I'll see you next week."

"Make an appointment with Evan before you leave."

"You got it."

"What the hell was that all about?" John asked once inside the office

"He came for my financial expertise. I'm his advisor now."

"That is strange and very off-putting."

"What are you doing here? I thought you were sleeping all day."

"I think I am still sleeping." Randy laughed. "I woke up and vaguely remembered kicking you out this morning and I felt bad so I drove here to give you a kiss."

"The fuck out of here with that bullshit, Sheena."

"Okay you got me. I'm hungry and want to take you to lunch."

"Let's go then." The men left his office but Randy stopped before they made it to the corridor. "Evan I'm sorry for snapping on you earlier. "

"Oh are you?" Evan asked leaning back in his chair

"I am."

"You snapped at him?" John asked. "Evan?"

"I had a feeling that it was Thomas coming in and I did snap when Ev told me he was here."

"How could you?" John asked

"You in your feelings right now, Sheena? Because it sounds like me snappin on your ex-boo got you in your bag right now." Evan giggled

"I'm not in my bag. I just can't see ever lashing out at him. He's sweet and has that great head of hair."

"We need to go before your half-chub turns into a full-on." Evan howled with laughter as the men left

FEZ

"Do you think you'll want to go out for dinner with my mom this week? She's been asking about you."

"Of course. I talked to her a few times while I was in Switzerland."

"Oh did you now? She didn't tell me that."

"She doesn't need to tell you."

"Don't get these fries tossed in your face."

"You're not going to toss fries at me." Randy tipped the basket

"Say I won't."

"Okay." John responded taking the basket. "I can't take you anywhere."

"Stop. Anyway, I want to take a group trip."

"Noo," John whined. "I do not want to get on a plane anytime soon."

"Well we're not going right now."

"I don't want to get on a plane for the rest of the year."

"Then we'll go in January."

"I'm not getting out of this am I?"

"No. It'll be a relaxing trip and we're not leaving the country so the flight won't be that long."

"Fine."

"Stop trying to play me." John laughed

"I'm not trying to play you. Where are we going and who's going?"

"I don't know yet but give me a day or two and I figured the usual cast of characters for us...maybe invite Cody this time since I like him enough."

"Oh I'm glad you brought up Thomas."

"I ain't say nothin about Thomas."

"You're right but mentioning Cody was a good place to segue into what I want to say."

"Which is what?"

"Do you really have to be his advisor?" The tall man shrugged

"He came to me so why the fuck not?"

"Why the fuck not is because you know it's a weird situation or else you wouldn't have bitten Evan's head off when Thomas came in."

"You right."

"You're an adult and I understand that you're a professional so you'll work with people who come to you but be careful. This isn't sitting well with me and it's not because I don't trust you."

"I can take care of myself."

"Not saying you can't. Be careful."

"I will Sheena." They finished lunch and since they'd driven in separate cars Randy was able to go back to his office while John went home and back to bed

Days Later

"Randy. Randy...oh god – stop." But Randy didn't stop. He kept sucking until John nearly bucked off the bed during his climax. "Holy shit. Thanks for not stopping."

"I never do."

"I have to tell mom about that when we see her it was so good."

"Don't get yourself fucked up, Sheena."

"Fucked, yes. Fucked up, no."

"Think we have time?"

"No. We still have to get ready then go pick up mom."

"Are you sure we don't have time?" John looked at the clock on his bedside table

"We can both take really quick showers, right?"

"Of course."

El Chorro

"This is so nice!" Randy mom's said

"What are you talking about woman?"

"Being here with my boys. And I know you're happy that Johnny's back because you talked about the poor man every single day he was gone."

"Mom!" John smiled big

"Well you did. I thought you were going to start crying at one point."

"Oh! Never that."

"I'm pretty sure Habits by Tove Lo was playing in the background too."

"Yooo," John had tears in his eyes from laughing. "You are really tryin me. And what do you know about that song?"

"I have ears. You're gone and I gotta stay high," The woman sang

"You need to quit."

"Do you want something to drink, mom?"

"She don't need nothing to drink."

"Actually," She emphasized. "I'd like to try one of their winter cocktails."

"They have too many ingredients for my taste but get whatever you want." John said

"I'm getting the El Chorro Paradise because that seems to have the most alcohol in it."

"I didn't realize how much I missed you until that very statement." Randy's mom wrapped her arms around one of John's and rested her head on his shoulder

"Everything about this is wrong." Randy said

"Aw, honey, you're jealous." He gasped
