The Art of Attraction

Chapter 12

Roger slid from the bed and padded to the kitchen. Grabbing his bathrobe as he went. The house a little cold. He switched on the kettle and began preparing two mugs of tea. After finishing in the kitchen he carried the mugs and returned to the bedroom. Finding Brian still asleep in the bed.

He stood and looked at the large figure nestled in his bedclothes. Still finding it so strange to not only have another person besides Audra in his bed but also that it was a man. Of course some of the newness of that situation had worn off. They had, after all, had sex together in more than one way. They had also been on holiday together and several actual dates. He did find it rather enthralling and he enjoyed every minute he had spent with Brian.

Roger smiled as he went over and set the mugs down on his side table and slid back into bed. Pulling the duvet over him and snuggling into Brian's back. His arm wrapping around him. It was comforting to have his presence this morning.

"Mmmm" Brian murmured as his hand reached up and took hold of Roger's. "I like this." he remarked as Roger smiled wider.

"I do too." Roger replied as they continued laying there for a while until Brian finally stirred.

"Sorry. Need the toilet." Brian advised as he let go of Roger's hand and turned to get out of bed. Roger watched as Brian unconsciously got up and walked to the bathroom. Naked and beautiful. His hair disheveled in a cute way as he disappeared behind the door.

Roger sat up and leaned against the headboard. Reaching for his cup of tea to have a sip as he waited for Brian. The older man was soon opening the door and running his hands through his fuzzy mop of curls.

"I wish my hair looked as good as yours in the morning." Brian observed as he sat back down on the bed. Admiring Roger.

"You look adorable." Roger assured him as he leaned over and got the other mug. "I made you a cup." he advised as Brian took the mug offered to him.

"Thank you. Just what I need." Brian replied and then he leaned in towards Roger. The men sharing a quick little kiss. "That as well." Brian said as the men sipped their tea.

"I don't know about you, but I could use some food." Roger advised. Curious if Brian was hungry. "I can make us something." he stated as Brian smiled at him.

"Sounds good."

After showering first and getting dressed, the men went to the kitchen and Roger started breakfast. Brian catching up on the status of things in Westminster with the bomb scare the prior evening. He learned the situation was over and informed Roger as the younger man set a plate of pancakes down in front of him.

"This is good!" Brian declared as he sampled a bite. Garnering a look of satisfaction from the younger man.

"My kids like them." Roger responded as he also had a bite.

"How are Charlotte and Miles doing?" Brian inquired. Roger proceeded to update him as they ate. Brian clearly interested in hearing how they were.

"How is your daughter, Suki?" Roger then asked. Brian smiled.

"Funny you should mention that." Brian replied. "We are supposed to get together for lunch on Sunday. She said she has some news she wants to tell me." he said.

"Any idea what kind of news?" Roger questioned. Brian shrugged.

"I don't think it's bad news. She would have said. Probably something good." he surmised.
