Six Sentence Sunday -- m/m WIP
Korde grinned at him, both of them just stopping for a second. Then they fell on the potato skins like ravening beasts, sucking down the whole plate in maybe two minutes. Korde licked his fingers clean, moans sexual.
Josh stopped, arrested by the sights and sounds. Jesus. He could watch Korde eat for hours.
:D
Much love, y'all

Six Sentence Sunday: Praying for a Clean Break
He tried to call Alan again and got nothing. Someone let his minutes run out again, he’d bet. Damn it, where was the damned fool? He hoped Alan knew he was still welcome, even though Colby had gotten tired of being second to the rodeo, had maybe had a little snit and not answered the phone for a bit.
This was still Alan’s home, right?
Much love, y’all,
BA
