chapter 3

Horatio sent him out to get a new pair of pants and it took Ray quite awhile to find a tape measure to measure Horatio's waist and inseam. As he was doing so he noticed that the tighty whities that Horatio was wearing were a bit strained and a bit stained. He rushed off to find a pair of pants for his boss and thought in the back of his mind that he ought to get some new underwear.

The pants didn't quite match the color of the suit Horatio was wearing but it was close enough. And as Ray pulled out the pants Horatio also noticed that the underwear was in there . He looked up at Ray with a quizzical look on his face.

"Sorry sir but I couldn't help but notice that your underwear seemed to need replacing too."

Horatio got a bit of a red glow in his cheeks and responded. " I guess you're right I hadn't thought about it. That's what I like about you always thinking ahead."

Now the pants weren't that big just a nice 42 waist and even though the underwear was the same size as his tighty whities it was now boxers and they seemed a bit roomier than his old underwear and the waistband was nice and stretchy.

Horatio hadn't noticed the slight growth in his waist line but Ray had. There was just a slight loss of the abs he had once had but enough to warrant a new pair of pants.

It was at that point in their relationship that Ray started shopping for clothes for Horatio and although Horatio didn't notice that Ray was constantly getting larger and larger sizes Ray knew what was happening but was it his job to tell his boss that he thought he was putting on some weight? Ray just continued on with his job and it was one particularly long Monday call that Horatio just completely missed the meeting and found himself and Ray at a Golden Corral. Sending Ray back time and again to refill his plate.

Pop went the first button of Horatio's white button down. Then another and another till his abdomen would have been exposed if Horatio hadn't been wearing a tank top underneath. He had recently started wearing them because the arks between the buttons began to expose some flesh when he sat down and he didn't want to show that to clients, or the board members.

Ray noticed that Horatio was in a bit of a food coma when he stopped sending him to the counter for refills and Ray got him up and led him out the door. He stuck him in his Mini Cooper, pushing the seat to the farthest point back and drove Horatio home.

Having gotten him home and up to his bedroom Ray undressed Horatio, except his boxers and laid him down.

As he was headed out the bedroom door Horatio quietly moaned, "Rub my belly please."

Ray didn't know if he heard right and he stopped and looked back at his boss laying with his distended belly raising a mound under the covers. Then he heard it again and Ray came closer.
