scare you, but I want to try all sorts of things with you.”
    “You’re not scaring me,” Mick said quietly.” I love being with you.” He ran his fingers through the sticky mess between them and licked each one in turn. “We taste good,” he said simply. “I want you to teach me all you know. I want to learn with you as well. So tomorrow, let’s do the tourist thing, dress up and have dinner, and then see what happens. Now, I just want you in my arms.”
    “Sounds good to me,” Ceri agreed and snuggled down once more onto the soft hair of Mick’s chest.

CHAPTER 7
    Mick rubbed his swollen stomach. “I’m not sure this bike will move after all we’ve eaten this morning. It must be all this fresh air making me hungry!” Mick grinned as he got on the bike behind Ceri. “It’s not often I get to eat a full breakfast. I noticed you tucked into everything as well. I’ve no idea where you put it. Look at you, you’re as thin as a rake. You must have hollow legs. I swear my stomach has grown several inches since we got up.” He leaned forward before Ceri put his helmet on and whispered into his ear. “After your antics in the shower, we only just got there before they stopped serving.”
    “Yeah, but you look so good now. That beard is really under control, and its way more sophisticated. You loved me doing it, and don’t deny it.”
    “Why would I?” Mick closed his eyes for a moment and felt the edge of the shaver over his skin once more. The shower had developed into a bath they’d shared. Ceri had sat in front of him with clippers and shaver, and turned his untidy beard into something neat and stylish. He had to admit it took years off him, even if he did feel more exposed than he had for a while. Now Ceri was on about Mick getting his hair cut as well. He’d said he wasn’t sure about that, and Ceri had smiled and kissed him. He still didn’t understand why Ceri had said, “Good for you. Don’t let me boss you around.”

    They spent the rest of the morning roaming around the streets and arcades in Cardiff. In the end, neither of them had the guts to buy any of the books they found, although they were tempted by the gay Kama Sutra . Ceri had turned the pages while they stood and laughed at the illustrations, until one of the shop assistants came and stared at them while they were using their hands and fingers to try to plan out the various positions.
    “We can order it on the net,” Mick said as they fell out of the shop, still laughing. “I bet there’s a DVD version as well.”
    “Just don’t get it mixed up with your Doctor Who DVDs. Can you imagine what the cleaners would think if they heard all that moaning coming from your office?” He clutched his crotch and moaned rather too loudly. People turned to look at them.
    “Stop it,” Mick said. “Come on, we need to get to the coach for this tour. I want to see all the places they promised, and we get to go to Leadworth as well.”
    Ceri followed Mick until they arrived at the entrance to Cardiff Castle at 12.20. A small crowd of people already stood waiting. The tour began on foot, visiting the Church the reapers had trapped Rose in when she’d rescued her father and changed time. Ceri watched Mick as he listened attentively to the guide, then looked around. He whispered in Mick’s ear. “There are things I really wished I’d done differently, but I suppose if nasty creatures appeared every time, then it might not be worth it.” He heard Mick sigh.
    “So many things,” he agreed, and then they were off again to the store where Rose had worked. The first spot the coach visited was the National Museum. Ceri found it interesting to listen to Mick describing how the building was used in one of his favorite episodes about Vincent Van Gogh. “This is so great, seeing all these places for real. I’m so glad we came.”
    Mick vibrated with excitement, like a kid in a sweet shop. Ceri let him explain every scene, and had to
