"Thanks. It's been home for a couple weeks now." Brice quietly turned two deadbolts and then moved a triangular bar over a bolt higher on the door. He liked to feel secure, and if a few heavy duty locks allowed him to sleep at night, so be it. But, noting the small case Ray brought with him, Brice was optimistic that he wouldn't be sleeping alone tonight.
The young man could understand keeping up appearances, but when the door closed and Ray lost his tie, it made Brice feel more at ease. "I've got a pretty good idea where I want it to lead, sir, but I did promise you a drink. Have a seat on the sofa, get comfortable." Brice grinned at Ray as he moved over to the wet bar. He poured two glasses of bourbon into tumblers - Ray's having more in it than his own - and walked back to him.
Sitting on Ray's lap would probably be too presumptuous, so Brice sat directly beside him, ducking under one of the man's arms before handing over his drink. Brice was no in the cloud of Ray's aftershave, and the teen breathed in deeply, green eyes closing for just a second. It suited the man, and Brice attached good memories to it.
