sheepishly.
     
    “Okay… how about lights around the house at night?” Thom asked.
     
    “I’ll leave some on here, but could you make sure there’s one on in the hallway if I need you?” Skye said, coming out of the little bathroom he had taken the toiletries into.
     
    “Sure, and I left a little light on downstairs if you want something to drink. Okay, this computer is fine now. Just use it as your own; if you have any problems, ask me. I got us a great wireless Internet connection, and it works even in the yard, so you should be set,” Dru said, getting up from the desk chair and coming to lean on Thom.
     
    “If you need us for anything, just come knock on the door,” Thom said, and Skye agreed to do so. Thom just hoped he’d really do it instead of trying to be polite.
     
    “Night, guys, and thanks.”
     
    “Night, Skye. Sleep well,” Dru said, and Thom echoed him as they walked to their own bedroom.
     
    It wasn’t that late yet, but it had been a long day, and the emotional turmoil had been enough to make them both tired. Even Dru, who usually stayed up late, seemed to want to get to bed early.
     
    “I want a shower, but I can’t be bothered.” Dru yawned.
     
    “Fine. Go to bed, I’ll join you in a bit,” Thom said and kissed the blond in passing.
     
    He went into the bathroom and tossed the clothes he had been wearing into the laundry basket. They usually waited for it to be full and then took the laundry downstairs into the utility room to be washed. Maybe tomorrow, by the looks of it.
     
    Stepping into the large glass cubicle, Thom put on the steam option in their luxurious shower and sighed contently. It had been worth every penny, having this whole bathroom re-done when they had bought the house. They would be paying for it for years to come, but hell, if a little luxury wasn’t worth it….
     
    He was surprised that being in the shower like this didn’t make him horny. Maybe it was because of the previous day; their Sunday had been spent making love everywhere in their home, because it wouldn’t be comfortable while Skye was in the house. It would have to be, eventually, but at first they wouldn’t want to alienate their houseguest by the whole living-with-a-gay-couple thing.
     
    They usually had sex a few times every week, sometimes more, but oftentimes they were too tired during the week and settled for blowjobs and handjobs when the situation seemed to fit. They weren’t an old couple, and they were both in their prime. They were also very much in love, so maybe it should have bothered them more, but for some reason it didn’t. It suited them, and that was what counted, anyway.
     
    Dru and Thom had discussed what Skye might think about the fact that Dru was gay and living with a man like this. Apparently it had gone okay; after all, there was no hesitation or sign of disgust or anything from Skye. He had just acted like it was completely normal, which it was, of course, but it had gone better than Thom had dared to hope for. Then again, there was no telling what Skye’s own sexuality was. Dru had said that he thought Skye was straight back when they were teens, but things changed. Hell, they changed for people who weren’t abused and kept as captives and sexual slaves. Thom’s body shook with some emotion bordering on disgust at the mere thought of someone like Skye having gone through what he had. The worst, and maybe best, thing was that they didn’t know and never would know the extent of what he had been through.
     
    Thom rinsed the suds from his body and grabbed a towel. He had left a towel for Skye on the desk, so that was covered too. They really needed to get the man something to wear, as well. Luckily, Thom knew that he didn’t have to worry about that. Dru would take their houseguest shopping one day, he was sure of it. With a smile on his lips, he walked to the bedroom after tossing the damp towel on the rack. They liked to sleep in the nude, but it might
