Horatio walked into his office concentrating on how he and Tim could spend the evening relaxing. A familiar scent pulled him out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw Tim standing by the windows of his office silhouetted by the Miami skyline.
He paused in the doorway and studied his scruffy lover in the fading sunlight.
He was surprised to see Tim since Paula had told him that the younger man had left earlier. He was coming to realize how important Tim was to him.
His heart leapt into his throat at the sight Tim presented, because to him Timothy Speedle was beautiful. Tim was the dark to his light; was the cool to his hot; completed him in a way that no one ever had before.
He could tell that Tim was lost in thought and not wanting to scare him, Horatio clear his throat and gently inquired, "Tim?"
