You probably want to read at least Chapter 6 for Adrian and Laura's backstory here, or the whole series for all their background if you also appreciate Gay Male content. If you haven't, don't complain this doesn't make sense!

Two months.
My life is about to change forever, and I'm not talking about getting Laura naked tonight. I've wangled Max having a last lads' night upstairs with Dan, just the two of them, so I won't have to worry about him wandering in when me and her are getting it on. Though, fair play, couldn't really complain if he did.
I never thought waiting for Laura would make me this nervous, yet here I am again, pacing. I've dug out the wee patches and put one on me arm for first time in ages.
It's not just the agreement that has me on edge, but I had a chat with her last week which descended rapidly into the gutter.
I'd told her, "You know, they say if a woman gets fucked by two men, even if the first is wearing a condom, it increases her chances of getting pregnant by the second one. The route becomes easier, or something."
"I'm still not fucking you."
"No, that's not what I meant! Not unless you ask me to. Just, if you were interested, there's objects that could be used, might have the same effect, or just make you a happy wee bunny..."
She changed the subject after that, which brought on my nerves, but then she sent me a fascinating message this morning, which I can't stop thinking about.
I give up and go do some more work while I'm waiting. I don't mind telling you, I'm cacking myself over this project. Either it'll make my name, but if the clients don't like what I give them in two weeks, the firm is going to be in a right hole...

I'm looking forward to this evening. Especially since a chat last week where he suggested applying things to my fanny that might have a side effect of assisting Dave's swimmers.
I've been considering Adrian's hands. He does have remarkably small hands for a man. No-one's fisted me since Becky left the country.
I went to have a little chat with Dave.
Dave's take on it is, if it's not a cock in my cunt, eat my heart out. He's never really understood the attraction of sex toys for such purposes, and winces at the very idea of whole hands, but then his hands are massive and he very much believes penetration is something that should only happen to other people. He says goodnight, with a typical, "you're weird, you are, but I love you."
I texted Ade this morning, to perk him up. 'If it's not a live dick inside me, anything goes. Bring it on.'
I follow up with, 'Same for you?'
Not that I was planning on pegging him or anything, but I'd love to see him all open for anything. The sight of him dropping to his knees in front of Dan, like it was the most natural thing in the world, sweeping his hair back behind his ear and sinking that whole cock into his mouth, has featured in a fair few fantasies of mine. I'll let him think on it.
I get a message back at lunchtime. 'Whatever. Hadn't thought much beyond your mouth over my cock. I'm a bear of little brain.'
I can't see Ade as Winnie-the-Pooh himself. Maybe, when he's happy, being the good host. Kanga, more like. Bit of Tigger, bit of Eeyore...
Anyway, this time I go for comfortable jeans, top and warm jumper, trainers, just some underwear I think he'll like and I know Dave will, later. Slightly dressy, but not at all dressed up.
Ade raises an eyebrow that promises the world, while surprised I'm not wearing anything fancier, and comes over to give me a big hug.
"I know, pet, but I didn't want you to think I mightn't deliver on my promise." Why dress up if you're only taking the clothes off?
I return his hug. He's looking well. Like he's been eating properly, as well as not smoking. Possibly a bit agitated, but not surprising in the circs. I point at his little wire glasses.
"Nice specs. Thought you only used them for work?"
"Eh, just catching up a bit, I was. It's been mental this last couple weeks, new big client we couldn't say no to. I've got a new minion starting soon, though. Wait til I tell ye, though! She knows Gareth!"
"What? How?"
"He's been mentoring students - sixth-formers online, then once she got to uni, they invited him to the LGBT soc to do one of those inspiring talks, y'know?"
Britain's most eligible gay barrister. Guess he wouldn't mention that bit. "Good for him. So when does she start?"
"Two more weeks, and not before time! Everyone's pitching in, but most of it, it's got to be me and Naz, though Sam does what he can. Working til nine, ten, most nights." That's what he used to say at college, so I add an extra few hours a day onto that. This had better be a short-term workload.
"You're looking remarkably well in the circs. That desk wasn't there before, was it?"
"Been moving stuff about."
"Uh-huh. S'pose you want a good setup in your office, if you're working all hours."
"Aye," he says, sounding a bit guilty. "Look, there's pie and veg and stuff ready in the fridge - could ye get dinner going while I finish what I was doing? Be about ten minutes?"
"No worries. See you in a bit."
He disappears into his office, closing the door like he's right stressed. I figure out his oven and put the dishes in it, Borough Market and M&S's finest. Forty minutes for them to cook. I look at the tall bookcase he's put in the corner. Various design and software manuals that must be for work. Bunch of audio books, which I hadn't expected would be his thing, but there's stuff I know he likes, Pratchett, Cadfael, Hitchhiker. Shiny Mac on the desk - I'd have expected a PC for gaming and other non-work matters, but then he's the kind of guy who might be an Apple aficionado. I heard Civilisation and popular stuff like GTA were available for Macs, now, anyway.
I poke around the kitchen a bit - plenty of options for pudding; he's been shopping. Some nice new steel saucepans out on the counter. Perhaps he has been splashing out with the dosh he's saved by not smoking, after all?
I connect to his WiFi, with details he's handily stuck up on the fridge - the network's called Fuckoffyoucheapskatebastard, password yesyouatnumbertwelve, suggesting history with the upstairs neighbour. Adrian emerges a moment before the oven timer goes off.
"Really sorry. Anyway, that's me for the weekend, I hope."
He looks like he's lying, probably going to work half of the next two days, but at least he's got a new assistant to look forward to. "Hope you like roast veg. There's a good mixture there if you want to pick any out.
"No problem. Love the lot," I assure him.
"Grand. Pie's steak and mushroom, d'you want half or a third?"
"A quarter'll be plenty!"
"Sorry, forget dainty women's appetites. Here you go, cheers for that," as I flick two fingers vigorously at him. "You want the grape or the grain tonight?"
"I'll have water now, whisky later, unless you have something that would enhance the meal?"
"Of course." He rolls his eyes and bustles over to the dresser, which has a couple new additions. The top tier's been moved around and dusted, too. What's he been celebrating? "Try this Talisker - it's often served with haggis on Burns Night, all a bit peppery, so should work..."
