Heat Wave: Traverse City

Emory sat down on the couch. Mr. Magee clambered up on his lap and licked his face. Emory stroked him.


“Ah, you have the power to soothe the savage beast,” Emory told the hound.


Danny would never have done that, let it go that quickly. He’d have yelled at Magee and me, blaming us if he was angry about something. Emory’s not Danny, Cam thought, trying to calm himself.


Emory turned to Cam. “Now what should we do with the rest of today? I’ve got a bit more work to do since the junior partners didn’t follow instructions, but I need a break.”


The answer to that question began with a make out session on the couch which culminated in Emory slipping to the floor between Cam’s legs and getting him off with a blowjob. A walk around the peninsula followed, with Mr. Magee enjoying all the new scents unique to the area. The walk was cut short, however, due to the heat.
