It would never have occurred to him that in placing the apricot in my palm he was giving me his ass to hold or that, in biting the fruit, I was also biting into that part of his body that must have been fairer than the rest because it never apricates - and near it, if I dared to bite that far, his apricock.

Apricity (n.) the warmth of the sun in winter.
A strange a lovely word. The OED does not give any citation for its use except for Henry Cockeram's 1623 "English Dictionarie". Not to be confused with "apricate" (to bask in the sun), although both come from the Latin "apricus", meaning exposed to the sun.

“I could eat some food.”
“Appreciate the clarification. I wasn’t sure if you had changed your mind about needing to walk properly.”
I roll my eyes, which prompts him to quickly flick my nipple.
“Ah! What was that for?” I yelp.
“You rolled your eyes.” He shakes his head once. “Bad habit.

Excuse Colton’s lack of manners.” He offers me his hand, waiting for mine to be placed into his.
