"Ready to go, Chief?" "Yeah, just a minute, came the muffled voice from the bedroom, "I'm just getting dressed." "We're going to be late, you know." "No we're not, you just wanted to get there early." "That's right, and it's my truck, so I can leave just as easily without you. *You* made me buy the tickets early, *you* had better be ready."

"I don't know," said Blair, turning around, "If two guys on tv did this, I think a lot of people would like to watch." With that he kissed his partner quite thoroughly. "You think? Well, what if they did *this*?" With a skilled tongue and teeth, Jim unbuttoned Blair's shirt and slipped it back off his shoulders. "Oh definitely," said Blair, claiming Jim's mouth again briefly, "That's definitely a scene they should have added to the re-release of Empire."
