“You do?”
“Yes. They should be easy to answer. No decisions, just opinions.”
“Sometimes those are hard, too.”
“Well, let’s try anyway.”
“Okay.”
“How do you feel about waking up with my mouth on your cock?”
“Huh?” Rocco’s eyes go wide, and he shifts back a little.
“I mean, how do you feel about waking up to me having sex with you—oral or otherwise? I wanted to fuck you while you were asleep, but I hadn’t asked if you’d like it. Not everyone does.”
“Oh...”
“Still waiting for an answer.”
Rocco blushes and trembles a bit, and I have a feeling he doesn’t think he’d like the idea at all. I’m about to give him an easy out when he smiles, slowly tilting his head to the right.
“Good boy,” I say with a smile. I run my fingers over his cheek and neck. “Now, where do you like to go out for dinner? I mean, are there any cuisines you don’t like or food allergies I should know about?”
“Not really,” Rocco says. “Why?”
“I need to pick a place for all of us to have dinner next week. Remember, we’re going out with Cree and Kas. I didn’t want to pick a seafood place and then find out you’re allergic to shellfish or something.”
“No, I don’t have any allergies,” he says. “I don’t like spicy food though.”
“Okay, nothing spicy. That’s easy enough. Anything else?”
“I don’t think so.”
“If that changes, you tell me.”
“I’ll try.”
“That will have to do for now.” I caress his cheek again, and Rocco stares at me for a long moment.
“Casey?” he whispers.
“Yeah?”
“I don’t...uh, I don’t really have any money to take you out.”
“You aren’t taking me out,” I say firmly. “It was my idea, and I’m buying. Don’t you even think about starting with that whole ‘I’m the man’ shit, or I might have to consider spanking you.”
His eyes go wide.
“Kidding, Roc. But really, if I ask you out, I’m buying. No questions. I don’t have a ton of extra money, but I have enough to take us out every once in a while. We’re both poor students, and we’ll make it work.”
“Are you sure?” he asks.
“Positive.”
“Okay.” He nods, then takes a deep breath. “Can I...can I ask you a question?”
“Of course.”
