“You must be the new guy. Yuan, right?” The crocodile skink smiled warmly at the human who had just entered the building, looking around with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. “I’ve been expecting you...nice to finally meet you. The bosses can’t stop talking about your potential, I’ve been wondering who’s got them so excited. Welcome to VitaTech!”

“Thank you...I’m glad to be here!” Yuan’s eagerness was a bit tempered by his nervousness; this was his first major job, full-time with a real salary. Only 20 years old, having graduated from high school early and flown through college for his bachelor’s degree in computer science...he’d considered going for more but decided he wanted to make some money to pay off his loans and get comfortable first, and there was no shortage of opportunities. VitaTech had made him an incredible offer, he was getting more money than he ever expected, and everything about the company had him thrilled. It was still a big thing, though, his first real job, adult responsibility...sure, he’d taken jobs over the summer, but they were small-fry stuff and didn’t have the level of importance that this did.

Then there was the other reason he was nervous: the lizard shaking his hand. “My name’s Dante, I’ve been told that I’m going to be your project lead. I’ve been here about five years, so I’m one of the more senior programmers on staff. Technically I’m your supervisor, but I don’t like to be all formal and shit, I want you to think of me as a friend and partner, not a boss! We’ve got enough bosses here that I don’t think I need to add to it!”

“Yes, I understand,” Yuan replied, still a bit formally. VitaTech was one of those ‘new-age’ tech companies that had what appeared to be a less strenuous environment, more recreation and entertainment opportunities than your average workplace, quite far from the cubicle farm that some business stereotypes displayed. He knew that they demanded good work, and plenty of it, but also that a happy and relaxed employee was a productive employee. So Dante’s attitude didn’t particularly surprise him, and he was rather grateful for it. But he was still a bit restrained, really wanting to make a good first impression and not say the wrong thing.

Because, holy mother of fuck, that reptile was HOT.

Yuan was always busy, busy, busy, all work in high school and college, only the minimum of recreation so he could be a high achiever. Certainly no time for a relationship of any kind, it didn’t even cross his mind. But that didn’t mean he didn’t have urges or fantasies, and his did tend to lean towards the reptilian side. He couldn’t help it, something about the way their bodies looked was just much more appealing that other humans or mammals...perhaps part of it was an exotic flair, something different to the eyes. Whatever it was, it kept him up at nights cramping his hand.

And Dante, a crocodile skink, was especially exotic. With dark scales, a frilled head, and red marks around his eyes, he looked almost alien, and Yuan was rather hoping to be abducted. On top of that, he cut a fantastic figure - he had to be over six and a half feet tall, the way he towered over Yuan, with a slightly broad and quite fit body. Not a bodybuilder, but casually muscular, with clear definition in his bare arms revealed by the lavender polo he was wearing and his strong legs which were also quite clear to the eye under his khaki shorts. He could only imagine the six-pack and solid pecs he was sporting under that shirt, and the package that was probably tucked away inside his body…

It’s my first day on the job. Making a pass at a co-worker...a supervisor in name if not in practice...is a very bad idea.

Still, it was hard not to be impressed. His desire may have mixed a bit with envy - he himself was much more the image of a stereotypical scrawny Asian nerd, he topped 5’2” only on a good day and was lucky to tip the scales over 120. He was never much of an athlete, all his development had gone to his brain, and he’d caught his share of shit in school for it. He usually kept busy enough to avoid the worst of the bullying, but there were definitely times he wished he had more of a build that could stand up for itself in the presence of a physical threat. At the same time, though, he liked the idea of being the tiny partner of a big, strong man, having a hero to stand over him and protect him. Dante rather fit the image in his head quite well.

“Well, since it’s your first day, you need to get to know the work environment a bit! We’re not the kind to throw people in right off the bat, we want you to get a bit settled in before you dive into the real projects! Come around, let’s meet your co-workers and show you what’s around for you to enjoy around here!”

“Absolutely, thank you very much, sir!”

“Oh, no, no sir, please!” Dante grinned down at him. “Just Dante, and you can ease up a bit, we like it to be casual here! Go ahead and cut loose, you wanna curse or anything, no one’s gonna care as long as the work is good!”

“Yes...er, yeah, okay!” Yuan took a breath and let it out, trying to relax a bit. Being too uptight would be as bad an impression as being unprofessional. He followed behind Dante as the lizard led him deeper into the building, trying not to stare too hard at the swinging tail attached to what looked like a very solid ass.

He’d seen some of the building before when he’d come in for his interview, but Dante was being a lot more thorough. The tour of the facilities was something of a whirlwind: a cafeteria with a full service staff with a very interesting and diverse menu, suiting all different types of diets; a rec room with a bunch of different types of leisure activities from ping pong to darts, and several people playing around and being pretty competitive; an arcade with video game consoles with a selection of approved games, mostly high activity or problem solving or reasoning; relaxation facilities including hot tubs, saunas, and mats for yoga and other relaxation activities; and a gymnasium for working out, which Yuan suspected Dante spent plenty of time in. Everything seemed like it was all modern, state-of-the-art, and probably was kept up very well.

At each place, he met some of his co-workers, many friendly and relaxed faces of different types that were slowly putting him further at ease. It was a very casual environment in all the facilities, almost like a club or rec center than anything else, and with so many friendly faces around it was harder not to get sucked into the friendliness. It was a very diverse workforce, genders and races and species varying widely - all the better to try to reduce cliquishness that Yuan had heard could be a problem in this industry. Dante seemed to know just about everyone, making a point of telling a story about just about everyone they met, greasing the wheels of friendship and camaraderie quite effectively. Not to mention, they ran into a couple other reptiles who happened to catch Yuan’s eye - maybe not quite as fiercely as Dante had, if only because he was still a bit enamored with the crocodile skink, but there were definitely other co-worker prospects to be found. He’d heard it wasn’t a great idea to date co-workers, but with his utter lack of social life to this point, he didn’t see many other avenues being open to him.

Finally, they got to the offices. The workstations were divided into numerous different rooms, but each room had several seats in it, and it was clear that there was expected to be a pretty communal and cooperative atmosphere even here. None of the people in Yuan’s area were there except Dante at the moment, so it felt pretty quiet, but he was sure it would be a fair bit noisier when it was more occupied.

“Uh, Dante, what happens if we need to, well, get some quiet and focus?”

“Oh, there are some private rooms down the hall, single-person units for people who are in some kind of crunch time or just are having trouble keeping their mind on things. They’re really well soundproofed, too, so you’re not going to be disturbed by much. And if you want to be in here but just need a few minutes to concentrate, we’ve got nice headphones that’ll block out most exterior sound, and some units that play white noise that you can hook them up to.”

Yuan nodded, feeling relieved. “Good...I don’t want to be antisocial, but sometimes it’s hard to focus while people are talking around, you know?”

“Oh, trust me, I know! Most of us here are similar, sometimes you need to block out the distractions! Well, I think that’s most of the major stuff...you got anything more you want to ask about, or should I get to asking you questions?”

“Eh? I...don’t know. What kind of questions do you have for me?”

Dante grinned. “Well, for starters, whether I’m some kind of eye magnet, since I noticed you’ve been looking at me almost as much as anything else around you. I didn’t think I was THAT interesting!”

Now Yuan blushed; well, he hadn’t exactly been all that subtle. Still, the way that Dante talked about it suggested that he wasn’t offended at the attention. “Sorry about that...I didn’t want to bother you or anything.”

“Oh, believe me, I’m not bothered, I don’t get looks like that often! I guess I look kind of odd even for a reptile, lots of guys don’t know what to make of me. I guess that works for you, though!”

“Yeah, it does...I’ll be honest, you’re really hot. I love how you look...I don’t know how you’re working here, it seems like it should be almost illegal for a guy as hot as you to be working around here. You’d look right at home on a football field or something.”

That earned a chuckle from the lizard. “You think so? Well, that’s not too far off...I used to be a footballer, back in my childhood. Fifth to eighth grade I played on peewee and school teams...was usually put in an inside linebacker position, my size was a huge asset and coaches loved me. And I liked it for the most part, but there were aspects which ended up losing me…”

“Injuries?”

“Yeah, but not in the way you’d think. I knew there was an injury risk, I was fine with that...had a couple broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder in four years. Would’ve surely been worse if I’d kept up with it...but it wasn’t me that I was really worried about. The problem was everyone else. I hated the idea of injuring anyone else...it just made my stomach churn. Whenever someone was slow to get up after I hit them, I fell into a funk that could last for days. And since I was mainly there to tackle, the odds of causing and injury were pretty high.”

Yuan nodded. “I’d feel bad about that, too. There’s so much that can happen when you don’t want it to.”

“That’s why I stopped. Eighth grade, I was playing in a game for my school...it was middle of third quarter, I remember it really clearly. A runner was going up the gut, there was a hole I was supposed to fill. He get pinned between linemen, so he wasn’t where I anticipated him to be...and I was diving, I was farther away and hit way lower than I wanted. His foot got planted against the turf, and I went right into his leg.” Dante swallowed; he sounded a bit ill just talking about it. “His knee was destroyed...I was absolutely devastated. I remember it happening so clearly, but pretty much the entire next five or six days are just a complete blank. I remember almost obsessing over him, trying to find a way to apologize to him and check up on him...he never played again, but we became friends afterwards, so I guess he forgave me.”

“Anyway, I only played one more game after that...and I guess even that barely counts, since I barely played. Everyone could tell my heart wasn’t in it, I was scared to try to tackle anyone because I could wreck their lives again. Coach pulled me early in the second...a few days later my family met with him, we had our talk, and I decided I was going to drop. Whatever the risk there was to me, I wasn’t concerned about, but what I could do to someone else, that was too much.”

“Wow...I’m sorry to hear that. It must have been hard, giving that up.”

“It was. It’s gotten easier over time, though...I feel like I’m really healthier for walking away, those four years of wear on my body may catch up to me at some point but it’ll be farther down the line. I still work out, I still like to keep fit, and help others with that...I helped a lot with the rehab of the guy I injured, his knee’s always going to be a bit funky but he can walk normally and run for a while before it gets to him.”

“It shows...you look really good. A lot better than you’d expect for a tech geek...they think they all look like me. How did you get into this?”

Dante shrugged a bit. “Honestly, a little bit by accident. I was kind of in a rut after quitting football, didn’t know what I wanted. But I had this friend, long time, knew him since kindergarten...he was a lot like you, small guy, real techie, and he loved to crack jokes about it, meathead jock versus great-brained geek. Not nasty jokes, but you know, trying to point out where he shone over me. And he’d talk to me about stuff I was clueless about...I had to look things up to even keep up with him a little bit. So one day, about a year after I quit football, I’m hanging out with him, he’s trying to run some script on his computer to make some flash project or something, and something’s not working right, he’s getting pissed. Naturally, I poked a bit of fun, something about how the big genius is having trouble, and he gets miffed and tells me to find it if I’m so smart.”

“Wait...and you found it?”

“Got it in one! I can’t claim all the credit, there was some luck involved...it was a pretty simple mistake, he’d transposed two digits and ended up spawning the thing that was supposed to appear well off the screen. But just to see his jaw drop when I showed him...I mean, I wasn’t nearly an expert, but the stuff made a lot more sense to me than I thought it would. And sometimes, it’s just that kind of confidence that you need, right? He got me more engaged in that sort of thing, and next year I started taking classes on it in school...and I guess, given that I got my best marks on all my studies in that subject since, I have some natural talent for it. Though it sounds like you just might have me beat on that!”

“That’s what everyone tells me...it’s like I picked up a book on a foreign language and just started speaking it.” Yuan sighed. “I AM really good at all the mechanical aspects...the problem is knowing what to do with it. I’ve done a bunch of different types of projects for fun, but I don’t know what I really want to focus on. So I’m hoping that this is really the right fit for me.”

“Even if it’s not, there’s tons of companies out there, and the experience is pretty valuable. Trust me, there’s an expectation of job-hopping these days, companies build that into their plans now. I think the days of having 40-year veterans in business are coming to an end, and probably a good thing - turnover allows fresh blood to get in, and fresh blood is vital to advancing. I’ve been here five years, there aren’t a lot of employees still here with that kind of tenure.”

“I guess you’re right...I do need the experience, I’m still a very young guy. I can see why they keep you around, though, you’re know-how and eye candy all at once.”

“Hah, you’re a flatterer. Truth be told, my tastes are pretty well suited around here, too...always had a thing for little guys, I just love the idea of being able to almost wrap myself around them and keep them safe. I’ve flirted a bit here and there, but haven’t really drawn many eyes...I think it’s safe to say that I’m not planning on just passing up a shot with someone who’s already interested.”

Yuan’s face reddened again. “Y-you mean it? You’d be...interested in me?”

“Yeah, no question. You’re the right fit for me in most ways...heh, one way we’d have to test, though.” Dante leaned in and rubbed his head against Yuan’s, dropping along the side. “You want to check out one more place in the building?”

“S-sure…” Yuan’s breath was almost taken away; he had no clue he’d be getting reciprocated feelings, much less this quickly! But years of inaction and pent-up feelings were pushing him to go, not miss out on a premier opportunity. So as Dante pulled back and beckoned him to follow, he couldn’t join the lizard fast enough.

They hurried through the hallways, and back into the general recreational area. On the side farthest from the offices was another hallway, looking at first like it led to a dead end. One of the doors on the side was unmarked and seemed like just some closet or maintenance area...but when Dante pushed it open, what Yuan saw was very much unlike that. Instead it was a fair-sized room with furniture, cushions, and soft lighting with a red sheen from the plush on the walls, giving it a very sensual atmosphere.

“I wasn’t planning on showing you this right off, though you would’ve heard about it eventually,” Dante said as he closed the door behind them. “The Passion Room. A place where employees who are interested can go to hook up, get their rocks off, and then come back and get back to work. Quick little romps, especially between partnered employees, are more common than most people think...so a place to let them do it conveniently was considered to be a useful idea, since if they’re going to happen anyway, it might as well be where it won’t disrupt anyone else.”

“Wow...VitaTech’s really got a unique approach. I’ve never heard of anything like this before.”

“Neither have I, but you can bet that there’s going to be more people considering it.” Dante strode up to Yuan, getting nice and close; the human’s flush deepened as he saw how huge the lizard was compared to him, it was making his heart race. “So...is this what you want?”

“Yes...so much…”

“Excellent…” Dante slowly raised his shirt off, exposing his thick, powerful chest. It was almost just as Yuan had imagined it, muscular and defined, and he ran his hands through the grooves and rubbed his face up against them, loving how taut and sturdy they felt. He even started to lick them a bit, getting a taste of male reptile on his tongue...a giddiness was coursing through him, he’d always feared that he’d be too nervous once he got to this point to actually act, but whatever nervousness he had was being overridden by fantasy desire pushing him to do what he’d always thought about.

“Whoof, you really are getting in there, aren’t you?” Dante was mildly surprised, but not at all bothered by this. His hands rubbed over the human’s back and head encouragingly. “Damn, you’re even more eager than I thought...you must’ve been wanting something like this for a long time.”

Panting, Yuan pulled back and nodded. “I’ve always wanted the chance with a big reptile...but never thought they’d go for me, so I...I only fantasized. But now that I have it...I just...need to go fast, in case I wake up soon.”

“Heh, if you’re asleep I’m going to be just as disappointed.” Dante lifted the smaller human up in his arms, bringing his head to his eye level. In the next moment, his snout was pressed against Yuan’s face, in as much of a kiss as he could manage. His tongue snaked out into Yuan’s mouth and worked around his, the flexible organ twisting and tightening as Yuan struggled to keep up. His arms went around the crocodile skink’s neck to keep him closer, losing himself in the amazing taste and touch. His body was grinding against the reptile’s, his erection getting harder underneath his clothes. He might have been putting a stain on his nice slacks from the wetness that was coming from his dick, but he couldn’t care much at this point.

There was a sense of motion as they kissed, and when Dante broke the kiss, he laid Yuan down on one of the beds. The look that Dante was giving him was somewhere in between passionate and forceful, leaving no doubt as to his own levels of desire...that had Yuan scrambling to get out of his clothes finally, to bare himself to the sexy lizard and get what they both wanted. Shoes and socks went quickly, pants and briefs were a bit more of a scramble, and he had to take extra time to unbutton his shirt, fumbling a bit with the buttons in his excitement. The clothes were tossed rather haphazardly to the side, he was too engaged in what was coming to care much about their neatness.

Now fully exposed, he looked over to see Dante getting exactly the same way. There was a peek of what he had to offer poking out of the slit that was revealed to him now, a flatter star-shaped tip that promised a much bigger prize. Though, seeing the muscular body was a prize in itself...rugged and rough, definitely the image of someone who kept fit even if his taste for sports had been lost. If Yuan had any fears of inadequacy with his much smaller, leaner, not-at-all muscular frame, they were lost in the excitement.

“Heh, you’ve gone and gotten me excited…” Dante teased slightly, rubbing near his groin in unnecessary emphasis. “You seemed eager to taste me before, maybe you’ll want to get a taste of this while I prepare you?”

“Gods, yes…”

“I love the excitement. It’s so rare for people to be this enthusiastic around me...I could get used to that.” Dante clambered onto the bead, his rear end swinging towards Yuan’s head as the human laid back. The moment it was in reach, the human’s hands went to the lizard’s slit, rubbing at the tip of that reptilian cock and probing into his slit a bit. He could hear gasps and slight hisses from Dante, promising sounds that told him he was doing right...and another promising sign was the emergence of more of that shaft. With a flat, star-like head, and a slightly bumpy surface the rest of the way down, it resembled some of the ones he’d seen in the pictures he’d looked at, but still seemed exotic given that he’d yet to have the opportunity to touch one. And that size, oh that size, his arm might not have beaten it...daunting, perhaps, but given where his tastes lay, what he’d both expected and hoped for. Technically a virgin, he did have experience with some toys, so he knew what it was like to have something back there, but he hadn’t worked up that big...still, he trusted Dante, he was a bigger guy that seemed to have experience with smaller guys, and wouldn’t overdo anything.

He bent the cock down and brought it to his mouth, stroking the flesh while he licked over the tip, getting both the musky taste of the skink and the salty but pleasant tang of his precum onto his tongue. It took a bit to get used to those flavors, but not too terribly long, they seemed to be almost perfect for him to adjust to. The cock was too big for him to handle with his mouth alone, but he got to bobbing up and down on the tip of it while his hands took care of the rest of the shaft, enjoying the unusual shape as it pressed against his tongue and the roof of his mouth. Every now and then he coaxed a bead of precum out of him, which eventually made his mouth and face a bit messier as it occasionally squirted out of him, the volume quite robust.

“Heh...hope you don’t mind that I’m only packing a single...though, it’s big enough on its own for most.” Dante had snatched a bottle of lube from the nearby table and popped it open, and now he was working a finger into the human’s backside while his cock was getting worshiped. Yuan didn’t seem to need much teasing, he had a profusely leaking boner already, but Dante remained thorough, spreading Yuan’s pucker and getting it nice and wet with the special concoction. It could be rough for a smaller guy to take something like he was packing, so he always liked to use the stuff that made it easier on them...even if Yuan felt a touch looser than he would expect from a virgin, it was still probably going to be some work.

A second finger joined the first, and eventually a third followed...each finger poked inside seemed to encourage Yuan to lavish more attention on his dick, making his concentration somewhat ragged. Clearly inexperienced, the human more than made up for it with enthusiasm. Perhaps, Dante could teach him some additional tricks...if things went well here, he could see there being more to this than just a workplace fling. That might have been going too fast...but here he was getting ready to bone a guy he’d met two hours ago, so maybe too fast was just how things were going.

A sudden buck from Yuan, accompanied by a squirt of pre that splattered down around the human’s groin, told Dante that he’d found a particularly fine spot. He leaned down and gave a slurp of his own to the human, his tongue slickly drawing up Yuan’s pre from where it landed and then wrapping a bit around his shaft and massaging it with its warmth a bit. It only took a couple seconds of that before Yuan hurriedly pulled away from his cock. “Ah, Dante, wait...I’m…”

“Ah...close?”

“Y-yeah…sorry...”

“No worries. First-timer, that’s to be expected.” Dante pulled out and away from Yuan, and shifted around so that he was aligned the same way as Yuan was, putting one arm under the human as the other cupped one of his ass cheeks. “You ready? I’m going slow, but you can tell me if it’s too much.”

“Thanks...I will…” Yuan panted, heart thumping in his chest. It was so close, his first real dick, his first real pounding...though, maybe it would be a little less pounding, he wasn’t sure he would mind that, it was already going to be overwhelming. He spread himself a bit, trying to show himself ready despite the unfamiliarity. “Go ahead...please…”

Nodding, Dante pressed the tip against Yuan’s asshole, using his hand to spread it a bit as he slowly pushed in. The tip was wide, making Yuan groan a bit as it broke through, but the groans were soon replaced by moans as he felt the slow embedding continue, the lube doing its job effectively and dulling the oddness of the stretch, making any pain merely a twinge here and there. Still, Dante didn’t want to overdo it, and he didn’t even go halfway before stopping. “How’s it going?”

“Ah...you’re so big…” Yuan panted out, feeling mildly light-headed. It felt REALLY good, the pleasure easily drowning out anything else...there was something so incredible in the stretch, and the heat, and the pressure on his pleasure points hidden within him, that he hadn’t really ever been able to match before. He knew there was still a lot to go...how much he wasn’t sure, but he could tell he wasn’t flush against Dante’s body, and anything seemed like a lot at this point. But he gave Dante a nod. “Please...I want more…”

Dante wanted to give more, but did it at the proper pace. Yuan wasn’t the first small guy he’d broken in, and he knew just how to do it...he started to pull and and push in, using just what he had in there at first, working the human open a bit more and getting him a bit more relaxed as his cock massaged that tight passage to get it more used to the stretch. After a minute of this, he slowly started to thrust in a little deeper each time, coaxing more of Yuan’s body to accommodate him after the previous parts seemed to get used to him. Always with a slow pace, never too forceful, he knew some liked to go with the band-aid approach but that never seemed right to him, he liked to ease them in.

It worked well, though, as it usually did - deeper and deeper he went, his cock passing halfway and moving slowly beyond, Dante listening for any objections from Yuan. The human couldn’t give any, though, it felt better by the second, even if the stretch piercing in deeper, beyond where he’d gotten fully lubed up, though some of that viscous fluid was pushing deeper inside, joined with more of the skink’s precum. His body seemed to be adjusting just fine, even as the lizard’s cock got thicker towards the base. He clung to Dante, holding tight as his partner worked his way in, getting closer to him with every thrust, reveling in the pressure of those strong arms as they gripped him.

It felt like an eternity before he felt Dante’s slit against his rear, and Yuan was barely clinging to the edge, his cock throbbing madly, trying to trigger his release. He loved the feeling of that thick cock so deep in him, but he was so close… “D-dante...I...I’m…”

“It’s fine...I’m...close too…” Dante’s voice was tight, he felt the pressure on his own cock as well, the teasing and slow working in usually meant he wasn’t going to be able to hang on much longer. A few deep thrusts would be all he could manage...but that was probably enough for Yuan, so he didn’t stress over it. Instead, he pulled out, to around the halfway point, and then pushed in with significantly more fervor, smacking into Yuan’s rear with a distinct yet muffled smack. And then again...another slow draw out and vigorous push in, getting a cry out of the human...and then once more, and that was it. He felt Yuan clamp down and cry out, and that set him off, his own cry escaping as he began to pulse his seed into the human. He could feel a wetness on his own body, Yuan’s release painting his scales as he coated those tight walls with an ample load, filling him at a depth that Yuan had always wanted but never known. The two held each other with almost desperate need as they rode out their orgasms, Dante’s powerful muscles keeping the writhing human in check while Yuan clenched to the skink’s body fiercely.

They stayed that way for a good while, riding out the crest of pleasure as it splashed down and finally smoothed out onto the beach of contentment. As the high faded, Dante rolled himself to his side, feeling the fatigue start to catch up with him. He still held tight to Yuan, as Yuan held even tighter, panted even harder. “Mmm...I hope that was as good for you as it was for me.”

“Ngah...p...probably...better…” Yuan couldn’t remember ever being so satisfied by an orgasm, certainly not by anything he’d ever gotten jerking off or using his toys. Being with a living being and getting their pleasure as well, it definitely made it better. “You were...so wonderful, Dante...thank you...so much…”

“Ah...it was my pleasure…thank you too, Yuan.” Dante stroked the human’s soft skin as he felt Yuan’s own grip loosen and start to turn into caresses against his scales. “This...certainly doesn’t have to be a one-time deal...and it doesn’t...have to be only here, either...if you’re interested…”

“I’m...more than interested…I’d love to have the chance to get to know you better...and do this again...among other things…”

That certainly made Dante’s heart light up, that wasn’t something he heard often in the afterglow. He couldn’t say for sure whether it would go terribly far, there was still so much they didn’t know about each other and who knew whether it would end up working out...but a chance was a chance, and he’d take it for all it was worth.

“But…” Yuan continued, looking up at the skink with a shy blush. “I think...I should still probably get...settled into my workplace, too...much as I love how you feel next to me…”

“Ah, yeah…” And he’d gotten so wrapped up in that he’d almost forgotten what they were supposed to be doing. If Yuan was the one catching HIM, no doubt he’d be a model employee. “Well, we can at least wash up together...and then we’ll get to anticipate next time.”
