Smutty Advent, Day 14

Marcus handed out the coffees and sat at the table Jim and Tanny had managed to find in the Starbucks. Billy was right behind him with snacks. Jesus, he hated shopping during the Christmas rush -- witch seemed to come earlier every year.

"I sprang for the great big one," he noted, more to let know Jim know he had a huge pile of caffeine there.

“Are we sharing, Master?” Jim looked surprisingly happy, even with the hustle and bustle.

"I thought that would be nice. That way we both taste like peppermint latte."

“Yum!” Look at that smile. He beamed right back.

"You having a good day, baby?"

“I am. It’s been fun. You?”

"I'm enjoying this part a lot -- I love spending time with you."

Billy put something with cranberries in it in front of them and sat next to Tanny.

Tanny grinned at him, winked. “You know that’s what you say when you really don’t want to do something.”

"Shut up." He might hate shopping when it was crowded, but he'd rather do that with Jim than anything else without his baby.

Tanny hooted, the grin huge.

"Your boy is a brat, Billy."

Billy just grinned, nodded. "That's why I love him."

“Because he’s a butthead?” Jim asked.

Marcus laughed and leaned in to kiss Jim's nose. "I do love you, baby."

“Good.” Jim grinned for him, even as Tanny popped him.

"Tsk, tsk. That's my job, Tanny." He gave Montana a wink and reached out, but instead of swatting Jim, he stroked.

“Be good, Master.”

"I'm being very good. Of course if we're done shopping we can go home and I'll be even better, baby."

Jim’s grin got wider. “I’m done shopping.”

"I have one thing left to buy, but I need to do it on my own. Finish the coffee, baby." He knew exactly how to counteract all that caffeine.

Jim’s eyes lit up, and he sucked up the coffee.

Grinning, Marcus sat back and took a bite of the cranberry sweet. This day was getting better every second.
