"Can you believe this place is really ours?" Adam walked across the bare living room floor. "An excellent view, neighbors that aren't that close, a huge backyard for the dogs, a hot tub…" he wiggled his eyebrows. "How good a chance do you think I have of getting you out there naked?"

Rocky grinned. Watching his boyfriend admire the house he'd wanted the moment he saw it made him happy; it almost made up for the problems he'd been having at the dojo. The house was a little too big for two guys but, luckily, Adam had loved it too. "A very good chance if you're there."

Adam rolled his eyes. "We closed the deal four days ago. Why haven't you done anything to the house yet?"

"I was waiting for you. This is our house, not just mine. Besides, I had a few things done." He leaned over and flipped the overhead light on. Then he walked into the kitchen and turned the water on. "It happened faster than I thought it would. I guess it pays to buy a house from a city leader."

Adam just looked at him before walking over and taking his hand. There was something just a little upset under Rocky's outer cheer; and he thought he knew what it was about. "Is there any backlash over you moving in with me?"

Rocky frowned slightly then shook his head. "A couple of the parents are upset. They think I'm going to be teaching their kids "bad" habits. I told them that I have never flaunted my sexual preference to my students, but it's their choice in what they decide to do. It'll blow over." He laughed softly. "How did you know, anyway?"

"I have my own sources of gossip, you know." He rested his forehead against Rocky's. "I heard that you told a group of parents that you had no choice in who you loved. That you and I had been meant for each other from day one, but we needed to grow and develop tolerance and understanding for the lifestyle we were meant to embark on and it took over twenty years for us to be where we needed to be and it's forever." His voice broke slightly. "You've always been better in saying what you feel, but I hope when it counts the most that I can give them back to you, but I do love you."

Rocky smiled and wrapped his arms around Adam. "I think you do better than you think. Words aren't the only way you let someone know you love them. It's those times when you gas my car up and you don't tell me. It's the flowers you sneak into my apartment. It's when you cook me breakfast; it's those times we can sleep in the same bed and I wake up and you're looking at me. It just is. If you have the words, that's fine, but I know. Sometimes I feel you inside me we're so close."

He tilted his head and brought his lips that needed inch. Adam's lips parted on a gasp and he took advantage, thrusting his tongue in. His hands gripped Adam's hips, holding his boyfriend tight against him. Finally, he pulled back.

Adam's eyes opened lazily. "Why'd you stop?"

"My plan is to romance you and make love to you. Then, I get one taste of you, one feel of your body, and get one whiff of your cologne." He nuzzled Adam's neck. "And I forget what I'm going to do." He laughed ruefully. "Chemistry at it's finest."

"Anyway with you is fine, baby." He gasped when Rocky grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the kitchen and toward the stairs.

"You know what my fantasy is involving this house?" Rocky asked. He didn't wait for Adam's reply. "I want to christen each room, each hall, and the basement with you. I want to make love to you in each room. Fast, slow, I want to hear you tell me how bad you want me. I want to give you a blowjob up against each wall, against every door."

He paused, slightly hurt, when Adam started laughing. "If you don't like my idea, you don't have to laugh."

"No," he strangled out before sinking down on the top step. "That's not it." He buried his head in his hands and started laughing again.

Helplessly, Rocky started laughing too. He didn't know what was so funny, but Adam's laughter was intoxicating. He sat down, leaning against banister, waiting until Adam calmed down.

Eventually he did, wiping his face on his shirt and he glanced over at Rocky, who was watching him steadily with questions in his eyes. Adam smiled; his grin just a little silly. "I'm sorry I laughed, but I just figured out what that plan of our house with all those figures written on it meant." He snorted at Rocky's blush. "You have a lot of faith in your stamina."

"It sounds stupid now."

Adam shook his head. "It's not. I think I'll enjoy every bit of it and I hope you expect me to do the same back." He winked. "I just saw those figures in my head and realized what they meant and well, the things we could do. You know, we could put the list on the wall and mark each act off as we accomplish them."

"Adam, please." His indignant act was ruined when his lips twitched. He stood up and reached a hand out to Adam. "Come on," he said while pulling Adam up. "I have a surprise for you, but if you don't like it, any of it can be returned later."

He led Adam to the last door, but Adam wasn't thinking about the surprise. He was thinking about Rocky's fantasy. "You know," he drawled. "We're in one of the four hallways in this place. We could christen it now. Mark something off our list."

"Shut up." Outside the door, Rocky moved behind Adam. "Close your eyes." He reached around and pushed the door open and urged Adam forward, stopping him inside the door. He came up next to the other man. "Okay, open your eyes."

His eyes came open and then widened and his breath caught in his chest. "Beautiful, isn't it?" Rocky said quietly. "I told Aisha, Trini, and Kim what I wanted and they delivered more than I thought of."

The room was done in shades of blue. The king sized bed was covered in a dark blue comforter. Sheer blue curtains covered the windows. Candles and flowers were heaped on every surface.

The longer the silence held, the more his nervousness grew. "If it doesn't suit, we can change things around."

Adam turned toward him, eyes damp. "It's wonderful. You're wonderful."

Then he pulled Rocky to the bed to show him just what he thought.

Later, much later, they staggered back into the room, curling up on the bed together.

"Four down," Adam murmured sleepily. They drifted off to sleep with smiles on their faces. Their first night together in their new house was a raging success.
