“I brought you something else.”
 
 “Thought you just showed up for sex.”
 
 He laughs at that and then tugs on my hair, pulling my head back and forcing me to look at him.
 
 “No, I showed up to kiss you. I do like kissing you. You do filthy things with your tongue.”
 
 My cheeks flush. “Same to you.”
 
 He grins and then kisses me sloppily, all tongue and spit, before letting me rest against his chest once more. This is all so…domestic? Loving? Like we’re in a relationship. But I’m so tired and satiated that I don’t move. Don’t protest at all.
 
 Seems to be a theme when we end up alone.
 
 “Want your present now?” he asks, his hand massaging the back of my neck.
 
 “Sure.”
 
 He leans back and reaches for his bag. It’s too far away, so he flops onto the ground ungracefully and crawls toward it, reappearing at the edge of the bed with a wicked grin.
 
 “Oops. Underestimated the distance.”
 
 He sets a box beside me, and I sit up a little to open it.
 
 And when I do, my breath leaves my body.
 
 “Fuck off with this, Cavanaugh.”
 
 “What? It’s a gift.”
 
 “It’s three butt plugs and a bottle of ass lube.”
 
 “And a gift card for a wax. You just need to call and set up a time. It’s already paid for.”
 
 “I’m not waxing my ass for you.”
 
 His lips quirk. “You will. You’ll do it because you want my tongue up inside of you. And when you realize how good that feels, you’ll be begging for my cock next.”
 
 I stare down at the metal plugs and find myself exhaling loudly.
 
 “We’ll see.”
 
 “Oh, we will. And you’ll see I was right about this.”
 
 I close the lid and slide it away, but he drags it toward him and flips it open.
 
 “You wanna try one?”
 
 I meet his stare.
 
 “You show up after ghosting me, and now you want me to shove something up my ass?”
 
 He shrugs. “I’ll go down on you while I do it.”
 
 That makes my spent cock jerk. He’s offering to suck my dick. Fuck, how am I supposed to resist that?
 
 “You saying you’ll suck my cock?”
 
 “Yeah. Fair is fair.”
