Snippet:
Walking up the stairs to the loft, Jim held the bag of Mexican treats he’d bought for Blair. He stopped just outside the door and frowned. Blair’s heart rate was slow, much slower than normal and even slower than when he slept. Jim quickly unlocked the door and stepped inside. Shocked, he stood stock still. ″What the fuck, Sandburg?″
Blair opened his eyes and grinned, obviously not the least bit embarrassed by Jim seeing him naked. ″Hey, Jim. You’re home early.″
Jim put the sacks of food on the table. He was mesmerized at seeing Blair not only naked but standing on his head like it was the most natural thing in the world to be doing whatever the fuck he was doing in his birthday suit. God, his partner was well hung and in terrific shape, too. He’d keep that praise to himself, at least for the moment. No reason to give Blair a big head about how good he looked.
″Why the hell are you upside down?″
Blair easily dropped out of position and took a little extra time to stand up straight. ″Head rush, man.″
″Seriously, Chief, what are you doing?″
Casually reaching for his blue terry robe, Blair slipped it on and tied the belt to finally cover himself. It was like he had no self-consciousness at all. Like mother, like son. Jesus. Jim couldn’t take his eyes off the younger man.
″It’s a headstand.″
″Well, I could see that much, Chief.″ Jesus fuck. Rattled, Jim didn’t add that he could see a hell of a lot more than his partner doing some yoga trick. ″But why?″
″Standing on your head is called an inversion. It lets you look inward and practice your breathing. Plus, it’s sends extra blood to your brain and really gives the back and arm muscles a good work out. You should try it sometime. It feels great once you get the hang of it.″
″I don’t need to stand on my head to get my head straight, Chief. Besides, if I did, I think I’d do it with my clothes on.″
″Don’t be so uptight, man.″ Blair shrugged but grinned. ″Seriously, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s a great way to get a new perspective.″ Blair grabbed one of the bags and took a big sniff. ″Oh, man, that smells delicious. What’d you bring me?″
