We sat in Senator Danfield’s waiting room in anticipation of my 9:00am appointment, talking about the sights around Washington. “What do you want to do after this?”
He leaned in and whispered in my ear. “Go back to the hotel and fuck.” I laughed.
“Just being with you makes me happy,” I told him.
“The senator will see you now,” a young man said, even as he tried not to give us dirty looks. I guess if you’re a GOP senator, a darling of the far right, you
It's kind of funny, but as a story goes on, the sex scenes usually get less fun to write, primarily because you've got a couple of guys, and you can only match them up in so many ways. Brad and Robbie are much more fun, because they can get into damn near anything.
“It’s really early,” Cal whined as I started the meeting at 7am.
“I think you’ll find it was worth getting up for. I have to fly to DC right after this, so we had to get an early start.” I could sympathize with him. I wasn’t an early riser either. “I acquired a video this weekend that I want to play for you.” I looked at Cal. “Try not to get too turned on.” I played the video while my team stared, shocked and amazed, at the monitor.

Granger was amazingly lucky to have seized a Portuguese fishing boat who’s captain actually spoke English, even if he didn’t speak it all that well.
“Captain, as I have said, I have not seized your ship. I merely need you to accomplish a mission for me, one that I will pay you for,” Granger replied ca
Thanks for that thoughtful comment. I have to disagree with you on one point: I think Brian has done more than enough to warrant a nasty execution. The way he outed Matt, manipulated Cody, plotted to put Robbie's career on the rocks, sparked a catalyst that caused Brad and Robbie to separate, tried to cost Stefan millions of dollars, and probably a few more things I can't think of off hand.
I'm glad you're seeing the maturity in Brad and Robbie. It's a central theme of this story; those two going from being adolescents in mens' bodies, to being real men.
