Chapter 36

Returning the hug, Martin realised Bruce was naked, too.

“Now, who’ll go first?” Matt asked.

“Me, me,” Colin said.

Martin grinned and shook his head; he could have predicted that. “Okay, Mr Impatient, here you go.”

He handed over the smaller of the two packages, putting the other in his pocket. If he gave Colin both together his man would open them at the same time. Martin thought delaying things would increase his husband’s pleasure.

Martin heard paper being ripped.

“Careful, it’s delicate.”

Martin had asked Nance to double wrap Colin’s gifts in an attempt to slow him down.

“It’s perfect,” Colin said a moment later.

Didn’t slow him down long though, Martin thought.

“It’s a shoestring, uh, do you say bolo tie here?” Martin asked.

“Either,” Bruce said.

“It’s wonderful, just right. Thank you.”
