This didn't mean that Loren had magically forgiven Anthony completely, or that he would become the doting boyfriend that he probably deserved. He was too selfish, too absorbed with his own issues, but he did love his older man.

"Wow, you never told me that your coffee shop was the premier gay spot in town. Did you bring all your other men here too?"

"I am sorry, but you will have to leave, I can transfer your coffee to take-out containers, but the shop is closing immediately."

He felt the need to get Anthony's clothes off and prove to himself in new and interesting ways that his tongue still worked.
