Chapter 12:
Draco was amazed at how well he and Marcus got along during the first part of the date. They ate dinner at a posh French restaurant, sat around and talked on a bench just outside of the same place and started to take a walk down the streets. As they came to the end of the paved road Draco spotted a sleigh outside of a snow covered church.
"Wow this place is amazing!" Draco exclaimed.
"I know, this is the next and last part of our date." Marcus proclaimed making Draco look between him and the sleigh.
As they neared the horse in front he grabbed onto Marcus' hand and stopped. He couldn't believe that this man would go and do all these nice things for him. His mind went to thoughts of Harry and he couldn't breathe. Even though he was here doing these amazing things; he couldn't stop thinking about the other man. He placed a small smile on his face as he felt Marcus begin to pull him to the sleigh.
"Here we go." Marcus stated as he helped Draco up onto the sleigh.
"Thank you for this. You really didn't have to do all of this for me." He stated as Marcus took a seat next to him.
"It was all my pleasure Draco. You don't even realize how handsome you are, and what an amazing person you are." Marcus draped and arm over his shoulder and pulled him close.
Draco leaned onto Marcus' shoulder and breathed in his scent. He loved the way Marcus' smelt and how strong his arms felt around him. He tried his best to sink into the moment of the ride but couldn't stop his thoughts from straying. He only hoped Marcus didn't figure it out or say anything about it.
When the ride ended they were back on the main street and the driver left them alone. Draco looked up into Marcus' eyes and backed slightly away from the older man. Marcus reached out one of his hands to place on the back of Draco's neck and pulled him closer to his own body. Draco sighed as their mouths connected and let himself sink into the sensations Marcus' was causing in his body.
When they finally pulled away Marcus smiled down at him and climbed out of the sleigh. He reached out a hand to help Draco out of the seat and pulled him into his side as they walked back down the road towards the apparition point.
"I had a wonderful time tonight Draco. I'm glad you decided to stay after finding out it was me here." Marcus stated.
"I'm also glad." Draco smiled shyly up at him.
"I guess this is where we say good night. I do hope that you will agree to let me take you out again."
"Let me know when and I will let you know if I am free. My son takes up a lot of my time." Draco said trying to throw something out there that would change Marcus' mind.
"Blaise has told me about your son. I would love to take the both of you someplace one of these times if you would allow it." Draco stood shocked looking at Marcus.
"I…uh that sounds great. I am sure Ladon would love that." Draco stated as he let go of Marcus' hand suddenly feeling guilty for thinking of Harry the whole time.
"Alright. I will let you go now." Marcus stated just before capturing Draco's lips one last time for the night.
