Part four of a complete free scene from The City War, my new novella being published by Riptide Press.

“Aristus doesn’t approve of me, does he?” he asked, as Brutus kissed the scars on his shoulders, moving downward through the sparse hair on his chest to lick at his nipple.

“It doesn’t matter what Aristus thinks,” he said, smoothing his hand over Cassius’s lean stomach, the sword calluses on his palm catching on the smooth skin.

“I doubt that’s true.”

“Aristus would disapprove of any man in your position.”

( But I like this position... )

R and I just had a way too serious discussion of soup. And state capitols. We are men of many talents.

And then he declared that he had found a new word: Friendate. Pronounced "frien(d) date". Apparently we're going on one at some point. I told him I don't put out on the first friendate. He said it's cool, he can't afford to pay for both of us anyway.

I think I may end up paying due to having a two-for-one pass for tickets to the Music Box. He seems intrigued by the silent film showings. I think he thinks they might let him play along with the organ on harmonica.

Being fair, I would pay a lot more than ten bucks to see R providing harmonica music for a silent film.
