Chapter 19

James’ apartment

*************

David slowly slipped free of James’ body. He’d expected James to turn around straightaway and wrap his arms around his neck but instead he put his head under the spray and just stood there with water cascading down his back. David squirted shower gel onto James shoulders and began to work up a lather on his back.

James didn’t speak, didn’t look at him. David was disappointed. He’d hoped James might share his feelings but it was obvious he didn’t. When he’d finished James’ back David began to soap his own body.

James stepped to one side so that they could both stand under the water. Still he said nothing. David feared he’d blown it. Was he moving too fast for James? He decided to back off and not mention his feelings again until he knew James was ready to hear them, if he ever was. David was desperate for James to know how much he cared but he didn’t want to frighten him off. He allowed the water to rinse the lather from his body.

James eventually turned around to face him.

“All done?” James asked.

David nodded.

James seemed a little subdued.

“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” David asked, suddenly concerned he might have been too rough. “Oh, Baby, I’m sorry. You weo hoo hot, I couldn’t help myself…”

“No, I’m fine,” James interrupted. “It was just…”

Just what? David began to panic. Hadn’t James enjoyed it? Was he regretting inviting David to spend the night?

“… amazing,” James added in a whisper as he averted his gaze, turned the water off, opened the door and stepped out onto the mat. David followed and took the bath sheet James offered him.

Their eyes onc once more and James smiled. His whole face lit up for a second and then the spark faded as if he’d suddenly remembered he shouldn’t be smiling. David had never noticed before just how blue those eyes could be…

“Want me to dry your back?” David asked.

James nodded.

At least he could still touch him even if James wasn’t ready to be loved…

*****************

When they climbed back into bed James was still reeling from the shock of David’s words. Had David really said he loved him or was it just that James was desperate to hear someone say it and mean it? He didn’t dare ask David to repeat the declaration in case he was wrong. Even if he had heard him correctly, David probably didn’t mean it. He’d just gotten carried away in the of of the moment. People did. If he’d meant it he’d have said it again, wouldn’t he?

As they lay side by side looking at one another David smiled and moved to kiss him. He didn’t look embarrassed or as if he was having regrets. Maybe David didn’t even remember saying it. He had been making a lot of noise like he was really enjoying himself. Perhaps the words just slipped out when he was too far gone to know what he was saying.

“How could you think I wouldn’t want to see you again after the other night?” David asked when the kiss ended.

David began to run his fingers affectionately through James’s hair.

“… after everything we shared,” David continued. “I meant what I said that night…”

What had he said? Nothing stood out in James’s memory.

“… when I held you in my arms, after we made love…”

Shit! James realised he must have fallen asleep while David was talking to him. He wondered exactly what he’d missed.

“It was the most wonderful night of my life,” David said, reminding him.

James feared he was imagining things again. Was there still water in his ears from the shower, distorting his hearing?

“David,” he began. “I’m so sorry…”

****************

David’s heart sank. James didn’t feel the same way. It had been too much to hope for…

“I understand,” David said. “You don’t have to say anything…”

James didn’t want him. Well, not in the way he wanted James.

“No, I’m not sure you do,” James added. “I’m ashamed to say it…”

Oh, God. He was going to explain that David had completely misunderstood the nature of their night together.

“… but I missed what you said. I think I must have already fallen asleep by then. Can you forgive me?”

David just stared.

******************

“Did you really mean it? Really, really mean it?” James asked, needing reassurance. “Because it was special to me too,” he added in a whisper.

“Oh, God, James! Yes!” David said, pulling him into his arms and kissing him passionately.

James felt his body respond to the kiss. Time seemed to stand still as David plundered his mouth. It was several minutes before he released him again to stare into his eyes.

“I’m in love with you, James.”

James was in no doubt what he’d heard this time.

“Oh, Davy,” he sighed, pressing his mouth to David’s once more.

The kiss was long and needy.

******************

David sighed as he felt James’ mouth working its way across his chest, sucking first one le ale and then the other to hard peaks. He gasped as James’ fingers curled around his stiffening length.

“Oh, Baby, yes!”

James continued to suck on his nipples. Part of David longed to take James now, bury himself within his core and give in to the urgency of the passion he felt for this gorgeous creature but the rest of him knew there was no need to hurry. They had all night - hopefully longer. Why rush it?

James was moving down the bed to lie beside David, his head toward David’s feet. Ah, he felt the burning desire too!

David cried out as James engulfed him. It took several minutes before he could steady himself enough to reciprocate. Soon, they were sucking each other greedily, the sounds of their slurping and moaning adding to David’s growing desire.

But he didn’t want to come like this - not at the moment anyway. He needed to see James, to kiss him, to show him how much he cared by making love to him…

He let James slip from his mouth.

“Baby… I need you…”
