.He wondered if Curtis had even told them.Chauncey had a feeling he hadn t. Yeah? An older human male answered the door, glaringirritably until he spotted Chauncey.His face dropped, and then helooked at the two nervously. What can I help you with? Chauncey leaned one arm against the frame of the doorway,showing off his massive size to its fullest as he nodded down atCurtis. My boyfriend wants to look at your apartments. Sure, sure. The man hurried back into his apartment and thenran back to the door with a set of keys. He ll be living alone, but I ll be over here all the time. Chauncey threw the warning out there, and the guy nodded his headin understanding.Good, the human wasn t stupid.Chauncey wantedno misunderstandings that Curtis would be well protected and wellwatched. Not a problem.Most neighbors stay to themselves.We don thave problems here since we re right next to the police station.Nope,it s a real good building. That still didn t ease Chauncey s worries asthe manager took them to the first apartment.He flipped through hisring of keys until he found the right one and then opened the door,allowing Curtis and Chauncey to walk in.Chauncey laid his hand on the small of Curtis s back as theyentered the apartment.He didn t like it.It was too damn small. Curtis s Dads 35Chauncey also didn t like the floor coloring or the wallpaper or theradiators or any damn thing about it.He knew he was being biased,but he just couldn t help it. Don t you have anything bigger? Curtis stared up at him and then gifted him with a devastatingsmile.The smile was heart-stopping, making Chauncey hard as a rockright there in that closet of an apartment. I m going to be livingalone, Chauncey.I don t think I need that much space. Chauncey shivered when he heard Curtis say his name.He wishedthere was a bed in the tiny apartment already.He watched his mateclosely as Curtis wandered around.It took all of two seconds.Theplace was that small.Hell, if he shifted, he was going to knock a holeinto one of the walls. I still say you need bigger. He grinned at hismate, hoping he caught the innuendo.Curtis s eyes widened, and then he cleared his throat.Boy couldhe make his mate blush.Chauncey was proud of that fact. Biggermay be better, but I m not sure I m ready for bigger. Chauncey cocked his head, staring down at his mate.Were theystill talking about apartments? He had a feeling they weren t, so hejust went with it. Stop worrying so much.Just because it s biggerdoesn t mean you won t enjoy it.I m pretty damn sure you can handleit. I have a bigger apartment, the manager tossed in, lookingbetween the two curiously. But what if bigger won t fit? Curtis asked shyly, finally gettingto the root of the problem.Chauncey wanted to laugh.Was that whatscared his mate? His fears were unfounded.There was no way hewouldn t fit perfectly into Curtis s body.He would bet his life on that. Huh? the manager asked as he looked even more mystified. Fitwhat? I highly doubt that, Curtis.Fate wouldn t give me a mate thatdidn t fit.Stop worrying. He wrapped an arm around Curtis s 36 Lynn Hagenshoulders as he turned toward the manager.He wanted to laugh at thelost look on the guy s face. Show us a larger apartment, please. They followed the rotund man up two flights of steps.Chaunceywas panting by the time they reached the next apartment.Maybe heneeded to lay off of his third helpings of dinner.It was starting to getto him. Here it is. The manager wheezed as he unlocked the door andthen leaned against the hallway wall, wiping a hand down his face.Chauncey was five seconds away from joining him.He needed to getout and run more. Wow, Curtis gasped as he walked in. This is perfect. Chauncey looked around.He had to admit, there was a lot moreroom.It was a two bedroom, but he liked that it had a lot more space.More space was good.He wouldn t hit his shin on the coffee tablejust to get by. You like it? Curtis nodded as he slid an arm around Chauncey s waist.Ohman, he d give Curtis anything he wanted, and he knew it.He wassuch a goner. I love it. Great, the manager said as he stepped inside, still looking a littlewinded. If you come to my office, we can start the paperwork. Curtis giggled as he air-pumped his arm.Chauncey chuckled athis enthusiastic mate.The walk downstairs was a lot easier.Chaunceydecided to get back into running on a daily basis.He didn t like thefact that he felt out of shape
