There were a lot of things about Horatio Caine that surprised Tim Speedle. Every day that he worked with Horatio he learned something. But when their relationship had turned intimate, he found things out about the redhead that he could never have guessed at before.
He loved to cuddle. Sometimes they would just cuddle together on the sofa and watch a movie after dinner. What surprised him more was how much Horatio loved to snuggle after sex. He seemed to thrive on physical contact, to need it as much as air or water.
But none of this came close to his surprise when he found out how much Horatio loved to kiss. And Tim loved the feel of Horatio's lips. Where ever they touched him they were soft and warm, even comforting. And he loved the way that Horatio look when his lips would get swollen during passionate moments.
Horatio had different kisses depending on his mood and the particular situation. The most common was the quick kiss. This was a quick peck on the lips or the temple used to say 'hello' or 'see you later.' Sometimes it meant 'thanks for dinner' or 'I'm in a hurry, gotta run' as he was heading out the door. This was the kiss he knew he could get away with almost anywhere without anyone really taking notice.
Then there was the wet, sloppy kiss that happened when their mutual lust for each other took control. That one involved tongues and teeth and lips and could get them both worked into a passionate frenzy very quickly. Tim enjoyed those kisses particularly because they tended to be a prelude to a pretty hot evening.
And then there was his personal favorite, like the one he was experiencing at that very moment. This was a slow, sensual, exploratory kiss that stole his breath away. Tim's eyes fluttered closed as he felt Horatio's tongue first sweep over his lips then make contact with his own. He sighed into Horatio's mouth as his tongue swept through and brushed over his teeth then probed palette. This type of kiss usually resulted in a slow back and forth dual for control between the two until they were both desperate for air.
That moment was rapidly approaching as Tim felt himself becoming lightheaded. Reluctantly he pulled away and rested his forehead against Horatio's as he caught his breath. He had barely noticed that Horatio had pulled him into his lap during the kiss. Horatio wrapped his arms loosely around his waist and Tim moved slightly to rest his head on Horatio's shoulder and nuzzle into his neck.
"What brought that on?" he asked, still a little breathless.
Horatio shrugged. "Just felt like it," he answered as he pulled Tim's head up and descended on his mouth once again. And Tim's last coherent thought that evening was that he was definitely glad that Horatio loved to kiss.
