‘Warm…I’m too warm,” Alex thought as he tossed into a slow wake, his eyes snapped open throwing the blanket off himself. Just like he thought Seth was wrapped around him like a lost child clinging to the first stranger it could find. He detangled himself from Stryard’s grasp like unwanted blankets and went to the bathroom to shower cleaning himself from last night’s events. When he was finished he went back into his room to get dressed. Seth was still asleep. “Get up!” he stirred but didn’t wake. Alex went to the side of the bed. “so help me If you don’t get up and out of this bed Stryard I will throw you out naked!” that got his attention, Stryard flirtingly twisted his body to further provoke Alex. “Hmmm…are you sure you want people to see your property, Warts and all?” he challenged.

Alex thought for a slight moment then sighed. “Just get out. I have business to attend to. Everyone’s probably wondering where I am.” Seth jumped up and got dressed in one motion. “last night was fun.” He purred in a low raspy tone with a hint of sleep still in his voice, forcing Alex to relive last night. He turned to leave when Alex interrupted him; “don’t forget, you are mine. You are mine to do with as I please!” A slow mischievous smile creped across Stryards face as he bowed exaggeratedly. “yes, Sir. Anything else for you master?”

“yes, get out of my room and keep your mouth shut!” Stryard left Alex to pace and slip on his big brother persona. It’s time for breakfast he thought.
