Cohabitation
by Aimless
Has it only been a couple of months since I asked Ryo to move in with me?
We’ve been together for years but still there was something holding him back. Some part of himself that he had to keep separate from me… from us. It was as if Ryo was holding onto what was left of his denial. I had to laugh at that. Sure I’m not gay either… bisexual is a more apt term for me. I like to look at women…even fucked my fair share of them.
But Ryo, no matter how he came across really had no interest in the fairer sex. Not in all the years I’d known him had he ever made a comment about boobs. I’m constantly getting smacked on the back of the head for noticing. Hey I looked but I never touched. At the risk of sounding mushy Ryo is the love of my life. He said he loved me too and finally I really think I can believe him.
Ryo was a very private person and to want to share digs with a guy like me just proved how much he cared. He would have been lonely too in his own place without his adopted son cluttering up the place. Heh…I guess he traded one slob for another. Imagine me shacked up with the man of my dreams. Cynical skirt chaser that I was. Damn but It’s hot in here. Even with all the windows open sweat was pouring off of me. That’s May in New York for you… hot one day, cold the next. It was quite a chore to turn two apartments into one and the renovation was almost finished. We now had a huge living room, three bedrooms and two baths.
Truthfully it was heaven and I loved seeing Ryo having so much fun decorating the place. Even if my nuts threatened to drop off when he dragged me into Bed, Bath and Beyond. Come on two guys shopping together in there? It screamed Gay to me. I didn’t mind a bit although Ryo blushed when two sales girls would not quit following us and giggling. I swear my easily embarrassed partner would liked to have killed me when I backed him into the shelves in a deserted aisle and locked lips. I had to grin when I’d heard the gasps from our own fan club behind me. I really thought Ryo was going to punch me when I slipped him the tongue. That kiss cost me a fortune though. I had to buy three sets of Egyptian cotton sheets before my sexy, tawny haired lover would even look at me.
He’d also declared my stuff hopelessly shabby and we’d had to shop for new furniture. I won that round. We got a huge leather sectional sofa in a dark tan and heavy walnut end tables and a coffee table to match. Ryo thought it was quite stylish… I could not wait to try out the coffee table. It was just the right height for one of my favorite activities. The though of Ryo bent naked over that table was enough to make me adjust my dick. Also the leather on the sofa was a bonus… it would wipe clean quite easily…heh. Yeah I’m a bit fixated. With a partner like Ryo can you blame me?
The man in question was at his old place right now packing up the rest of his stuff. JJ was going to drive him over after he was finished. I thanked my maker that the pervert known as the bane of my existence or JJ, had found someone of his own. I about choked to death on my doughnut one morning in the ready room when I got in early and there he was tangling tongues with Drake. There was a shocker…I mean JJ was gay for all to see but Drake geez I still can’t wrap my mind around it. They seem happy though and I wish them the best of luck. I think the gay fairy had tapped his magic wand a few too many times in our department. Even the Chief finally popped the question to that dish of an FBI agent Diana Spacey. Berkley finally got a clue and now he leaves Ryo the hell alone. If he hadn’t I was seriously considering shooting him.
I looked around the apartment. All I needed to do was move my exercise equipment to the spare bedroom. Weights went first and then the bench. The rowing machine was a bitch to move but Ryo liked my abs so it had to stay. I envisioned Ryo licking his way down my stomach as I laid on that bench… man I hoped he came back soon. Plus I needed a break. I wandered into the bathroom and smiled as I looked at my partner’s personal items spread on the counter. Ryo’s toothbrush next to mine and shampoo, conditioner, gel and mousse too. He was such a primper. I peeled off my tank top and cargo shorts then turned on the shower. I almost threw the clothes on the floor but instead put them in the brand new wicker hamper. One of Ryo’s additions to the apartment. I now even had cook ware and dishes that were actually washed and not thrown away after eating off of them.
My lover was due back any time now so I did not give in to any fantasies involving him spread out in front of me. The shower was new too…made of glass bricks and deep blue tile and was easily big enough for two. We even tried it out the first night… god I can still remember the sight of Ryo facing away from me with his hands braced on the tiles as I slid into his body. The water cascading down his back and his gasping moans as I thrust in carefully. Ahhh… damn! Now I had a problem that could not be ignored. I soaped up and stroked myself hard and fast till I came gasping my partner’s name. It took a minute or two before my brain reengaged then I rinsed off and got out.
I even hung the towel back up before walking naked into the bedroom. It still made Ryo blush when I strolled around in the buff but hey it was our apartment and in the summer naked felt good. Especially when I stood in front of the fan with the breeze raising goose bumps on my skin. I looked around in here too. Each of our dressers stood on opposite walls and our clothes hung together in the closet. We’d had to buy one of those organizer thingies because Ryo had a staggering amount of clothes.
My old bed had gone into what was Bikky’s room when he was home from college. Ryo’s huge bed now had a place of honor under the large half circle window that dominated one wall and what led me to rent this apartment in the first place. I loved to lie in bed at night and look at the city lights. Now I looked forward to looking at Ryu laying nude on those ridiculously expensive sheets bathed in moonlight… ok maybe the light from the street lamp outside. Romantic? Me? Ok so I read some of those books with the half naked chick on the cover with the long haired guy that Carol had left behind. If anyone finds out I’ll never live it down. Besides they had lots of good ideas in them and Ryo liked a bit of romance at times.
I got dressed in a white button up shirt but did not fasten any of the buttons, and some black Speedos. I was aware of how well my choice of attire emphasized my assets. Plus making JJ gawk was still kinda fun. But the smoldering look I’d get from Ryo would be the highlight of my day. A lot of things still made him blush and I still initiated sex most of the time but I’d been surprised before. A sexually aggressive partner made my toes curl.
I also stopped at the fridge and grabbed a beer. That was another amazing thing, it now contained real food. Not just half empty take out containers. Nothing was growing in there and a few bottles of chilled wine now nestled among the Bud lights. Yes my ife had definitely changed for the better.
I decided to wait outside for Ryo to come home and after going downstairs I lowered my self onto the concrete steps outside. I winced as my knee protested a bit. Courtesy of a perp who shot me before trying to blow up Bikky and Carol’s school. It was an ache I’d always have and most of the time it did not bother me at all. I raked my damp hair back from my forehead and took a long pull off the cold brew. Even though the day was hot I sat and soaked up the sun and let the warmth seep into my bones. It was almost a crime how content I felt.
I finished the beer and reclined on the stairs with my eyes closed when I head a car backfire. I smiled and opened my eyes. Yup JJ’s clunker was making its way down the street. He called it a classic and I called it junk. I also reached into my shirt pocket for some breath mints. Ryo hated beer breath and if I wanted a lip lock the mints were essential. I popped one in my mouth and waved as they pulled up to the curb. Ryo got out and leaned over into the back seat to get a box. My thoughts turned lascivious as I looked at the perfect outline of his ass in the faded jeans he wore. Damn he’s hot and I might even let him get all the way into the apartment before I jumped him.
JJ leaned out the window and waved at me and feeling magnanimous I waved back. He was really much easier to work with now that he was getting some on a regular basis. Ryo stood up with the box he got out of the back seat and shut the car door with his foot. He smiled and thanked JJ before turning to me. I heard the car pull away but my eyes were glued to Ryo’s face and the warm smile he had just for me.
God I love him so much it’s scary as hell at times. He walked up to me and I took the box out of his hands and set it on the steps. Then before he could protest I took him in my arms and lowered my lips to his. Ryo opened under my insistent pressure and I slid my tongue inside. I was gleefully aware that we were outside and in full view of the neighborhood. A fact Ryo forgot until my hands slipped down to grab his ass. He pulled away and I just grinned.
“Dee Not out here on the porch! Everyone will see can’t we take it inside?” I was more than willing to do just that. Maybe we could check out the sturdiness of the coffee table.
“It’s called a stoop not a porch and yeah let’s go inside. My dick is quite lonely at the moment and wants a warm home.” That earned me a smack on the head but then I knew I was forgiven when his fingers tangled in my hair and he whispered in my ear.
“Are you sure my dick would not like to find a nice warm place too?” Oh god I just died and went to heaven. Ryo wanted to top.
I hastily backed up the stairs and winced as my knee protested. Ryo noticed immediately.
“Dee did you hurt your knee? Come on and we’ll put some ice on it.” The tender concern in his eyes was my undoing and I smiled sappily.
“Nah I just over did it today. That’s why you get to do all the work...I was thinking we could try out the coffee table.” Ryo looked a little confused.
“What? Try out the coffee table? What does that have to do…oh, oh, I see. Dee you are such a pervert.” My partner grabbed the box he got out of the car and slung one arm around my waist as I limped a bit up the stairs.
“Yeah but I’m your pervert. Every blessed inch of me.” Then I leered.
To my delight Ryo laughed. “I love you, really love you.” His declaration just made my whole day, week, month and year.
“I know and I love you too. Despite you being a neat freak. Now how about we go and try out the sturdiness of our living room furniture?” I waggled my eyebrows at him.
Ryo shook his head and chuckled. “Let’s just get inside before someone calls the cops.”
“We are the cops baby and I really want to try out my handcuffs.” We both laughed as we went inside and up the stairs.
To our apartment, our home and to start the rest of our lives… together.
