"Wakey, wakey." Ryan smiled as he kissed his lover gently.

After last night's long talk with Kyle, Ryan felt very happy to be part of what was beginning to become a little family of three. Kyle seemed to really like him. Now it was time to wake up to go to work and Horatio didn't seem to be in the mood for it.

"This is the first time you haven't wanted to go to work." Ryan said, "Something wrong?"

"Yeah, I'm tired." Horatio yawned.

Ryan chuckled and gave the red head a kiss on the lips. Horatio's response was to cover his head with his pillow and Ryan gasped in surprise.

"Somebody is in a really bad mood." He said, "Do you have PMS?"

"I can't have that." Came the muffled reply.

"Well, whatever you have I'm sure I can cure it." Ryan smirked and crawled under the covers down to Horatio's waist.

Horatio gasped as a hand made its way down inside his boxers and started stroking his hardening member.

"Oh, Ryan." He moaned.

Ryan smirked and took the erect manhood in his mouth. Horatio used the pillow to muffle his cries of pleasure as Ryan sucked him. Horatio grabbed Ryan's hair and his lover smirked. He always knew how to wake up his older lover. Ryan was very talented and Horatio came with a gasp. Then he threw the covers back and looked at his lover.

"Now, I have to do something about your little problem there." Horatio grinned and eyed the very obvious bulge in Ryan's boxers.

Ryan smiled and gasped as Horatio pulled him towards him and then pinned him to the bed. Horatio kissed all the way from the Ryan's mouth to his erection and then took it in his mouth. Ryan moaned and thrust with hips. Horatio smiled as he saw Ryan squirm with pleasure and he sucked harder and faster and Ryan got closer to his climax. Ryan came with a loud groan and Horatio swallowed all he had to give.

"Remind me to be a sleepyhead a lot more if it means receiving a blowjob as a wakeup call." Horatio smirked before he grabbed his lover's hand and headed to the showers.

Both Horatio and Ryan loved to shower in really hot water that caused the whole bathroom to steam. They stepped under the hot water together and Horatio grabbed a sponge and started rubbing Ryan's back with it. He began at the shoulders and went down to his perfectly curved butt. Ryan moaned and leaned back against his lover as he enjoyed his touch.

"You are so sexy when you're wet." Horatio whispered and placed a soft kiss on Ryan's shoulder.

"Really? It explains why you always want to push me in to the ocean when we're down on the beach." Ryan grinned.

Horatio chuckled and kissed Ryan's neck before letting the sponge glide over his butt and up again over his back. Ryan moaned and smiled as he felt Horatio's other hand softly caress his chest and stomach. Horatio sure knew how to touch someone and Ryan could feel himself grow hard. Horatio smirked and started to gently stroke Ryan's cock as he, with his other hand, dropped the sponge and pressed a finger inside Ryan.

"Oh fuck!" Ryan moaned as his knees almost buckled.

"Fuck? Yes, I'm working on it." Horatio teased and gasped as he felt the younger man's hand start stroking his growing cock.

"Oh god, yes." Ryan gasped as Horatio added another finger.

Horatio smiled and left soft kisses on Ryan's neck as he also stroked his erection. Ryan was so lost in the pleasure Horatio's hand was giving him as he jerked him off that he didn't feel it when his lover replaced his fingers with his erect manhood. He first noticed it when Horatio thrust deep inside him and hit his prostate.

"Horatio, fuck!" Ryan exclaimed and rested his hands against the wall in front of him.

Horatio grabbed his hips and started thrusting softly but deep. Ryan's cries of pleasure caused him to smile and only thrust deeper. Horatio gritted his teeth in pleasure as he felt his climax come closer. Ryan moaned and was so lost in the sensation of Horatio fucking him that he didn't notice that he bit down on his hand to keep from screaming. He finally came and Horatio followed him with a loud groan. The two men stood in the shower for a moment before Horatio slipped out his lover and turned him around.

"What's the point in taking a shower after sex if we only get sweaty again in the shower?" Ryan asked with a smile.

"Easy; the shower takes longer and we get to enjoy the hot, steamy water for a few more minutes." Horatio grinned.

Ryan laughed and both men froze when there was a knock on the door.

"Are you done?" Said a young male voice that could only belong to Kyle.

Horatio and Ryan gaped at each other as they realized he had heard them.

"Um… yeah." Horatio said.

"Good, because I just wanted to let you know that Alexx sent a package and I took a peek and I'm just telling you one thing; do not try any of those things when I'm home." Kyle said and then left.

"Why would Alexx send a package to us instead of giving it to us in the lab?" Ryan asked confused.

"Must be something X-rated." Horatio shrugged.

After the shower they got dressed and then went to the kitchen where the already opened package was waiting on the kitchen table. Kyle was sitting by the table.

"I didn't really open the package, it was half open when it got here." Kyle smiled innocently, "And I thought it could be something dangerous you know, so I just a little peek."

"Is this your excuse for being nosy?" Horatio asked.

Kyle just blushed. Horatio grabbed the package and opened it. He gasped and when Ryan saw the reaction he looked confused. Horatio gave him the gift and Ryan started laughing.

"The Gay Man's Kama Sutra?" He asked, "Why would she give us this?"

"She's a woman and women love gay relationships. She must think we have no imagination when it comes to our sex-life." Horatio blushed.

"Why are you blushing?" Ryan asked.

"Because she'll know we opened the package and she'll know we considered most of those positions. She'll know. Knowing is not good." Horatio blushed more.

Kyle burst out laughing and Horatio gave him a playful glare. Ryan smiled.

"We could actually try some of these positions." He said as he looked through some pages.

"Not when I'm home. I don't want to hear you argue or complain when you fail." Kyle smirked.

Horatio just shook his head. Ryan continued to read the book until Horatio took it from him and left it in the bedroom. Ryan knew he would be able to make Horatio try some of the positions with him later.

-I-

Horatio couldn't help but to blush when he went down to the morgue to talk to Alexx about one of the team's latest cases. Alexx just smirked when she saw the red head.

"Alexx…" Horatio started.

"It wasn't only me! Yelina was in on it too." Alexx defended.

"Yelina?"

"Yeah, she knows about you and Ryan. It's as clear as the sky is blue; I don't see why nobody else on the team hasn't noticed yet." Alexx said, "Now about the book; use it well and don't be ashamed honey."

"Ryan has already read half of it." Horatio said.

"Good boy. You might just like what you read." Alexx smirked as Horatio once again blushed.

Horatio wasn't very open about his sex-life and he wasn't used to talk about sex either. Ryan was a bit more open and didn't mind sharing that he had a sex-life. Not the details, but just the fact that he and Horatio did actually have sex.

"Alexx, the victim." Horatio said.

"COD is strangulation." Alexx began and shared her findings with Horatio.

When she was done Horatio thanked her and went back to the lab where he bumped in to Ryan, who dropped his reports.

"Sorry about that Ryan." Horatio said and helped the younger man up on his feet.

"It's okay. I didn't look where I was going." Ryan said, "I was on my way to give you my reports."

"Is it the reports from last week?"

"Yeah."

"You really have to start doing you paperwork more often. That way you wouldn't have to give me ten files on the same time." Horatio said.

"Well, I would do it if I wasn't so distracted by you." Ryan grinned.

Horatio chuckled and entered his office with Ryan close behind. Ryan placed the files on the desk and Horatio sat down to read through them. Ryan would have kissed him goodbye if Calleigh hadn't showed up just as he was about to leave.

"Hey Ryan, Horatio." She greeted with a smile, "Horatio, I have some ballistic evidence for you to look at from this morning's murder victim on the beach."

Horatio nodded and followed Calleigh to the ballistic lab. Ryan groaned in lust as he watched Horatio's ass when he walked away. He felt a growing desire to simply pull down the red head's pants and fuck him hard. But that could cause Rick Stetler to have a heart attack. Not that it would hurt anyone. Kill two birds in one stone; receive mind blowing sex and give Stetler a heart attack.

"Damn you Horatio Caine and your sexy ass." Ryan muttered.

-I-

"How did I know?" Yelina asked, "You gave each other looks full of lust and love."

Ryan and Horatio smiled and looked at each other before looking back at Yelina, who was making dinner. Horatio had asked if he, Ryan and Kyle could come over for dinner and then they had asked her how she had known about them. Ray Jr hadn't suspected anything, but since he already knew his uncle was bisexual he wasn't bothered by his relationship with another man. Ray and Kyle were busy playing computer games while the adults were in the kitchen.

"We really have to start making it less noticeable." Ryan said.

"The team hasn't seen it yet so you are pretty good at hiding it." Yelina pointed out.

"Or they just see what they want to see." Ryan said, "They may not want to accept that their boss and friend are in a gay relationship with each other and therefore they ignore the signs."

Horatio grabbed the brunette's hand and squeezed it softly.

"No, no! You know, if Calleigh knew about you two she wouldn't be able to keep quiet and she would pester you about details." Yelina chuckled, "She'd ask you to videotape when you have sex and give it to her."

"What?" Ryan exclaimed, "Why would she want to see that?"

"Women love gay men." Horatio said, "I told you earlier this morning. There is something about gay men that most women seem to love."

"Two guys together are cute, sexy, and adorable and yes, we love it." Yelina smiled, "Did you enjoy mine and Alexx's gift?"

"No." Horatio muttered and blushed.

"Yes, thank you." Ryan smiled, "Some things in the book look very interesting actually."

Horatio groaned and rested his head on the table. Yelina and Ryan just laughed. At dinner Ray Jr made the same "threat" to Ryan that Kyle had given him the night before about hurting Horatio.

"Dude, do you even know how to kill someone?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah, you shoot them if you want it to be over fast." Ray shrugged.

"Boys, we are not going to talk about how to kill someone." Yelina said, "Not dinner conversation at all."

"Not an appropriate conversation ever." Horatio said, "You boys shouldn't worry so much about stuff like that, but more about… girls or boys."

"Girls." Ray smiled.

"Women." Kyle corrected, "They're called women."

"Very good Kyle." Yelina grinned.

"Dude, in my age they're still girls and you're only a year older Kyle."

"Apparently a year is a lot when it comes to maturity." Kyle smirked.

The adults just shook their heads at the kids playful bickering back and forth. Ryan was happy to be a part of the family and he knew that he was where he belonged.

-I-

Joseph Danes. The name brought back bad memories. He was the man responsible for killing seven cop and one of the men he had killed had been Jesse Cardoza. He had slit his throat and left him to die in Horatio's arms. Horatio's blood boiled with anger when he got the call that Joseph Danes had asked to speak with him. Ryan wanted to go with him, but Joseph had asked that Horatio come alone. And so what would have ended as a great night with some hot love-making had ended with Ryan and Horatio driving to prison to visit Joseph. Ryan stayed in the car outside while Horatio went inside and a guard led the red head to Joseph's cell.

The murderer smiled when he saw his visitor and he approached the cell door. Horatio made sure to stay close enough to hear what he said, but far enough so he couldn't grab him.

"What do you want?" Horatio asked.

"I'm being executed in two days." Joseph said, "I wanted to say that I'm sorry."

"Bullshit!"

"It's not bullshit." Joseph said, "I'm sorry for killing your friend."

"And what about the other cops?"

"Well, I'm not sorry about that. But I understand your friend was someone you had known for many years."

"This is why you asked me to come here?" Horatio asked.

"Yeah, a man can regret something can't he?" Joseph asked.

"You killed seven cops, seven people, because of the thrill. I find it hard to believe that you're truly sorry." Horatio said.

The look in Joseph's eyed told him that Joseph was telling the truth, but Joseph was a psychopath and he knew how to manipulate people.

"I am. I only have two days left and I wanted to at least apologize for what I've done before my time is up." Joseph sighed.

"And now you have."

"Apology accepted?"

"No." Horatio said and left.

He didn't believe Joseph Danes. He would never believe he was sorry. Joseph smirked and lay down in his bed as the red head left. When Horatio got back to Ryan he told him to hurry home.

"He wanted to apologize?" Ryan asked surprised when Horatio told him how the meeting had went.

"Yeah."

"Do you believe it?"

"No." Horatio sighed, "I don't believe him."
