Brody looked away from me.
I touched his chin. His eyes found mine again.
"You do, Brody."
Brody wrapped his arm around me, his hand dragging up through my hair, and kissed me. Once he was finished with my lips, he kissed my chin. Then down my throat and across my collarbones. Each of my nipples was sucked into hard nubs, making me moan and thrust my hips.
He kissed my belly and then each of my hipbones as he shuffled down the bed under the blankets. I reached above my head with both hands, clutching the headboard as Brody sucked my cock into his mouth and proceeded to drive me to complete and utter distraction.
It had never felt this good. I had been with a lot of men over the years, but never had it felt this good. This right. This was so entirely destined and pure.
I separated my legs, giving Brody more space. A few seconds later, the sky cracked open above me and stars poured down on my skin.
He stayed down there a long time afterward, just sucking gently on my soft cock. The serene intimacy must have lulled me to sleep because the next thing I was aware of was light coming in through the curtains and Brody curled up behind me, his nose nuzzled against the back of my ear.
The second thing I was aware of was I had to piss. I lifted Brody's arm off me and slipped away from him. He grumbled clutching at the bed sheets but didn't wake.
After I finished in the bathroom, I pulled on my underwear and left the bedroom in search of the snuggly dog named Bentley. I was met with a few more animals than that.
Holy shit.
Along with Bentley the dog sound asleep on a large dog bed, three cats were stretched out on the couch. I looked down as another circled my ankle, trying to get my attention. I tried not to trip on that one as I took in the well-organized space that I knew would be the norm in Brody's home.
"Asshole."
I looked into the dining room. In the corner was a large cage with some kind of parrot inside. I smiled. "Asshole to you too."
"Fucker," it retorted.
Then a more pleasant, "Good morning, sweetie." I walked further into the dining room. A second cage containing another parrot. It bobbed its head as I approached. "Kisses." Followed by the most adorable kissing sound. I touched the cage.
"Good morning."
The three cats who had been on the couch had now joined the one at my feet. All of them reached up and tried to puncture the skin on my calves with their sharp nails.
"All right. All right." I headed to the immaculate kitchen and opened the fridge. My doing so seemed to please them immensely. I was on the right track. Inside among a very neat and ordered variety of grocery items was an open can of cat food. I retrieved it, found a fork in a drawer, and dished out a small quantity into four small bowls on the floor.
I was startled by the sound of laughter coming from behind me.
"They have you trained," Brody said. "Did you have pets growing up?"
"No, but my friends did. Spent quite a bit of time around them."
"They like you."
"Because I fed them. Pretty sure those cats would like anyone who feeds them."
"I wouldn't know." Brody shook his head. "It's never happened before."
I rinsed the fork in the sink and put it in the dishwasher. "What do you mean?"
"I've never let anyone in my house before."
What?
My thoughts tumbled around in my head. I wasn't sure what conclusion to land on. Brody had never had a guy in his home … in his bed before me? How was that possible? What about Ricky?
"I thought you and Ricky lived together."
