"I wanted to be here, it's your birthday," he said, smiling before a thought struck him and he laughed. "So how much are you going to make this up to Marcus later?"
He rolled his eyes when Patrick said he wanted to come near him. "Don't tempt me," he warned. "I don't need a private party but... Yeah, that would be nice. We can celebrate your birthday and my being able to fuck."
Dale gave him a look but didn't push- He knew Patrick would do what he wanted regardless. "Sure if you promise you won't come outside," he said. "I don't want you getting hurt. There's a shed at the bottom of the garden... With any luck I'll sleep in there instead of roaming too much."
