Cole and His Dog

“I thought we should have breakfast in bed,” Ky told him seriously. He looked Cole over, and smiled. “That way, since I’m sure you’re starving, you don’t have to waste time putting on any clothes.”


Cole gulped, then scurried to get under the covers. Or rather, he tried to. Ky put a halt to that by putting his arm around him with a shake of his head. “You’re fine the way you are. Cute, sexy, and dressed for the occasion.”


“Briefs are de rigueur for breakfast?” Cole asked. “Since when, and why are you wearing jeans if that’s the case?”


Ky grinned. “Because I don’t own any underwear?”


“Not yet, you don’t. After we eat, then you will.” Ky winked, handing Cole one of the plates, and silverware. Cole rested it on his lap as best he could, considering there was a definite impediment at the moment to its sitting flat. He concentrated on the food, rather than what he suspected would come next, and his semi-erection flagged, much to his relief.
