As he walked past the main area he shivered. Two eyes where following him like every time they saw him lately. He glanced to the side and saw the dark eyes with that special look he seemed to keep only for him. Like they where challenging him to say something and continue what the other man had begun.
Sometimes he suddenly stood behind him. Like a cat sneaking up on his prey. Saying he needed something or just wanted to chat. He smirked; nobody else came to him for a chat. They only came when he called them in. Then they talked and he would send them on a mission or would give them a check-up.
He walked into his precious lab. Once he had felt safe here. But he had found out how silent those doors where and how quick the other man was. He wasn't sure if he was ready for this. Ready to have a ''chat'' with him and ask him why he was doing this. Maybe he wasn't ready for the answer. Maybe, just maybe it would be the beginning of something he couldn't handle.
He hid his face in his hands for just a second. He, Adam Kane, was actually afraid. Afraid of the unknown. If his enemies would find out that he was getting weaker they would laugh. Hell, if his team found out he would never have their respect again. Only because of one man, Brennan Mulwray.
He had thought about getting him off the team. He hadn't even liked to bring him in at first. But the others wouldn't understand and he would have to explain why. And maybe… He sighed again. Maybe he just liked the bit of attention Brennan gave him.
He heard a sound behind him and froze. He already knew who it was and pretended to be working. He waited for the moment the other man would start talking but he didn't. When he turned around he was alone. He frowned thinking he was going crazy. He looked around and could smell the other man's sent. He had been here and watched him. But this time nothing was said.
He shook his head knowing it was useless to go back to work again. He wouldn't be able to concentrate. In the past he really could have spend hours forgetting about the time. Even forget to eat. One of his team members would bring him food which he would forget to eat too. But now he had surprised them more then once with making dinner for all of them. But he had stopped with that again realizing he had to sit down and eat with them. Eat… While he was watching.
Maybe it was time to find out what was bothering the other man. But would he like the answers? He the genius was worrying about the simplest things now. Brennan had managed to get in his mind. More then Emma ever had done. He shook his head realizing that. His time with Emma had been wonderful. He had never met a woman who was more loving and caring then her.
But if he had had a relation with Emma. Then why was Brennan in his mind now. Why was he thinking so much of the other man and the shivers he gave him? He wasn't gay so he didn't have any sexual feelings for Brennan not like he and Emma had shared. But Emma was gone now. She died. And Brennan was here looking like that at him.
Brennan wasn't gay either. He had watched him go clubbing more then once. He had gone with them sometimes when they kept bugging him or if Emma had begged him. And he had seen him dance and kiss. Go with the girls. Even made a hit on Shalimar till he found out her and Jesse where together.
He realized it was time to do something with this. He walked out of the lab and towards the bedrooms planning to go to his own and read so he could give his mind some rest before he would decide what to do. But for some reason he stopped at Brennan's bedroom. It was always locked. And he would have never thought about opening and going inside there.
Now he knocked and waited. No answer. He tried the door and was surprised to see it open. He walked inside not closing the door behind him completely. That way he would hear if someone was coming. Looking around he had to sit down in shock.
All around the room there where articles about him. Showing his pictures. He got up and walked to the computer when he saw that his picture was the background. He opened a file called Adam and started to read. After a page he knew enough. He closed the file and decided he would never talk to Brennan about this. Maybe then he would forget about all this in time.
He looked around the room some more trying to not get distracted by the urge to pull all of his pictures from the wall. He found nothing interesting g and started to open some drawers. He swallowed hard looking inside of it. He had never thought of Brennan like that kind of man. But maybe it was logical. He was tall dominant and sometimes aggressive. Maybe it was his way to let those feelings out in play.
Carefully he moved the handcuffs and some bondage things aside. For a second he was frozen then picked up a drawing of him. It was a complete drawing and it showed him naked. There where points at his body with marks on it. On the back was a list of things Brennan would use on those spots.
Just as he wanted to rip the piece of paper so nobody would ever see it again he heard soft breathing behind him. Familiar breathing. ''What are you doing here?'' it started aggressive. Then of course he saw the paper in his hands. ''Like what you see…Adam?''T he other man whispered coming closer…
