Speed was tense. Horatio could tell as he watched the younger man wander around the house. It had been a long week with several frustrating cases, at least one of which had not gone their way. Speed had been on edge ever since they'd arrived home and Horatio decided that it was time that he did something about it. Speed needed a lesson in stress management.

Horatio grabbed Speed's arm as he walked past pulling the younger man down into his lap and into a kiss. Speed quickly overcame his initial surprise and wrapped his arms around the redhead's neck deepening the kiss. They dueled for control for a few minutes before Speed pulled back, breathless, and rested his forehead on Horatio's shoulder for a moment.

"What was that for?" Speed asked.

"You looked stressed," Horatio answered.

"Ah. Well, I think I'm still a bit stressed," Speed replied with a smirk as he began unbuttoning Horatio's shirt. "Not to mention that you look a bit stressed yourself."

Horatio brushed his hands up Speed's sides under his t-shirt lifting it as he went. Speed pulled back letting Horatio pull the shirt over his head. He leaned in capturing Horatio's mouth in a slow kiss as he finished unbuttoning his shirt. He pushed the fabric open and ran his hands up the redhead's chest causing Horatio to shiver slightly and sigh into the kiss. Speed smiled as their tongues dueled and their passion rose.

Horatio laid Speed back on the sofa and covered the younger man's body with his own before leaning in and taking his mouth once again. Speed arched his hips into Horatio's weight and moaned into the kiss. Horatio grinned and pulled back.

"Somebody's impatient," he said as he sat back on Speed's legs and unbuttoned his pants. Speed's cock was already straining at the fabric of his boxers as Horatio freed him. "Very impatient," he added with a smirk.

He stroked Speed from base to tip watching as his head fell back and his eyes closed. Speed gasped as Horatio ran the palm of his hand over the tip. He continued to stroke him gently with just enough pressure to cause the pleasure to build but not enough to bring him off. Speed squirmed under Horatio's touch.

"God… Horatio… so not helping… with the stress," he panted.

Horatio chuckled. He could see the tension building even more in his lover as he continued his gentle stroking. He leaned forward claiming Speed's mouth and freeing his legs allowing him to thrust up into Horatio's hand as their tongues dueled. Speed's breath was gone and he was beginning to see stars as he continued to move his hips. Horatio leaned into him with a bit more pressure and Speed moaned into the kiss as he shot his release between their bodies.

Speed slumped back onto the sofa, breathing heavily for a few moments. Horatio sat back and watched his face. All of the tension from a few minutes before was gone. He was completely relaxed. He opened his eyes, saw Horatio smiling down at him and a slight blush rose on his neck. Horatio leaned down and kissed him again.

"You looked like you needed to relieve some tension," he said when he pulled back.

Speed smiled at him. "Your idea of stress management, I suppose," he said with a chuckle.
