Author's Notes: All right, since this is supposed to be rated "R" and not "NC-17" I'm going to have to tone it down a bit. Still, I promise that it has lemony goodness! Also, I've been working on the chapter that you all have been so kind as to offer comments for, so thank you! Also, I want to thank one of my most helpful reviewers: Strega. Your comments have been very insightful and have allowed me to examine my writing more critically. As for everyone else, too many people to name, you all are fabulous! I would glomp and thank you all if I could!

As Ryo headed for his car, Dee continued behind him, looking pouty and rather put out at being ignored by his boyfriend after he had rushed home to see him. Well, there's no way that I can have that. I'm going to make him pay attention to me with the one thing I know he can't avoid. Grinning like a cat that had eaten the canary (and gotten away with it), Dee pushed Ryo up against his car and ran his thumb down the other's cheek. Ryo's eyes widened as he glanced around, still not entirely sure of himself when it came to public displays of affection. Even though he had been a bit annoyed at Dee because he'd been latched onto by JJ, Ryo knew that the dark- haired man cared about him and not the other. Still, when he got like this...possessive and passionate...it stirred something in Ryo and made him feel like he'd briefly lost his breath. As Dee pressed closer to him, his back pressed against the side of the car, his chin was tipped back in the large hand and an intense gaze locked with his.

"D-Dee?"

"I know you don't like it when JJ does those things, Ryo, but you know that you're the one I love. Dumbass, you really need to start being more secure with yourself. You also need to realize that I don't take being given the cold shoulder lightly..." he growled, like the purr of a lion.

"Come on, Dee, we're in public!"

"Which just makes it all the more fun," he chuckled lowly and brushed his lips teasingly over Ryo's.

"Dee..."

The chestnut-haired man's voice was almost a whisper as he felt the demanding lips press to his own. He blushed just a hint of pink to show that he was fully aware they were in a public place but still managed to relax. Reaching around, he clenched his fist into the back of Dee's shirt and the other hand wrapped around his shoulders. Both of Dee's hands settled firmly on Ryo's waist before moving south to squeeze the supple ass beneath the slacks. Eyes widening at what Dee had done, Ryo broke the kiss and looked shocked. Despite that, Dee claimed Ryo's lips in another hungry kiss, fire coursing through Ryo's veins as his eyes slowly began to close. As the taller man began to press up against him so that he could grind into Ryo's thigh, he finally snapped out of it and managed to break the breathtaking kiss.

"Dee! What do you think you're doing? We're in public for Pete's sake! Don't you think that can wait, you horny bastard?"

"Sweet talk will get you everywhere...and what if I can't wait until we get back to your place?"

"We are not having sex in this car," Ryo deadpanned, managing to push Dee off of him. "I mean it."

Smirking, he relented and kissed Ryo briefly before sliding into the driver's seat, patting the passenger seat. Rolling his eyes, but with a warm smile on his face, Ryo slid in after him. As they took off, neither of them noticed the pair of eyes that had been watching the entire time.

"DAMN HIM!" JJ screamed as soon as they were out of earshot. "What does Ryo have that I don't? If I could only prove to Dee that I'm better for him, then I'd show that clueless Sandra Dee clone!"

Fuming, he absently kicked at a garbage bin and then howled in pain, hopping up and down in pain. Storming back into the precinct, JJ cursed every person he knew that he was working that night. Meanwhile, Dee and Ryo had arrived at Ryo's apartment just as Bikky was leaving with Carole. Winking and waving at the two of them, the two kids took off down the block, chatting animatedly. Dee grinned broadly. YES! It's been a while since I've enjoyed Ryo's company all to myself. Tonight I'm going to enjoy it to its fullest. Still, why wait till tonight when I can have him now? As he followed Ryo up the stairs and into the apartment, he made sure to lock the doors, unplug the phones, and turn off the radio while Ryo was getting changed in his room. Switching off his and Ryo's cell phones, Dee walked into the bedroom while his boyfriend's back was to him, closed, and locked the door. Ryo slipped his shirt up and over his head and tossed it down onto the chair.

"Have I told you recently..." Dee whispered sensually while going up behind Ryo and starting to rub the other's shoulders. "That you are possibly the most exquisite creature I've ever seen?"

"Dee...you're too much sometimes..." Ryo blushed, but it was so slight it was hardly even noticeable.

"Well, I like to think of it as being truthful," he answered quietly, leaning over and kissing Ryo's shoulder.

Wow...he's so romantic tonight. I guess something must have hit him in the head, Ryo thought with a smile. Of course, he was only kidding and he'd never say that aloud because he was rather enjoying the attention. It had been a stressful few days and they deserved some special time to each other. As soft lips continued to press against his skin, Ryo basked in their gentleness, but how with each kiss, he seemed to become more and more comfortable. Reaching up, he ran his fingers through Dee's hair, the silky strands flowing through his digits and was rewarded with a firm kiss to his neck. There was a nip of teeth and he gasped in surprise, but was instantly steadied by Dee's reassuring arms around his waist. Tilting his head back slightly, Ryo closed his eyes just to experience the pure feeling of Dee's ministrations. Pulling back, Dee smiled in satisfaction at the red mark he had left on his boyfriend's neck. Now everyone will know he's mine.

"Ryo..." he sighed and began to slowly guide the other to the bed.

As soon as he felt Ryo's knees start to buckle, Dee took that opportunity to push the slighter male down onto the soft mattress. Feeling the comforting blankets against his bare skin, Ryo's eyes began to cloud over with his growing passion. Climbing on top of him, Dee's silky black hair fell around the other's pale skin as he began to kiss Ryo all over...his eyelids, his lips, his forehead, moving down to his neck, and slowly moved down to the narrow but firm chest. Flicking his tongue out to taste the salty skin, Dee placed his lips firmly around the hardening nipple and began to tease and suck at it slowly. A soft cry escaped Ryo as he arched his back a bit. Every time we're together like this, it feels just like the first...I don't know if I could explain it...his hazy mind managed to piece together those thoughts as he shifted a bit underneath Dee. Said man smiled and leaned over to kiss Ryo again.

Taking that chance in Dee's momentary distraction, Ryo began to slowly unbutton the white shirt that his lover was wearing. Managing to undo all of the buttons, even as his fingers trembled with excitement, Ryo slipped the shirt off of Dee's shoulders and began to return the tender kisses that only a few moments ago, he'd been the receiver of. Even though Ryo knew Dee liked to be the dominant one, sometimes he just wanted to show how much the other meant to him. Green eyes clouding over, Dee merely leaned on his side, head propped on one hand while the other traced patterns on Ryo's bare back as Ryo continued to place chaste and tender kisses all over Dee's chest. It was a calm and peaceful moment between the two of them and they both basked in that instant in time. Looking up through lust and love-clouded eyes, Ryo leaned up and kissed Dee deeply, running his hands over the firm chest beside him.

"You're being very daring tonight," Dee observed.

"What tonight? It's only around 4 in the afternoon," Ryo pointed out with a slight chuckle.

"Still, you've never been like this before...usually it's just me..."

"Well, so I wanted to change things a little tonight by returning your kisses, your touches, and your affection."

A smile crossed Dee's features as he rolled onto his back suddenly and pulled Ryo on top of him. Looking surprised at the different change of position, he gave his lover an inquisitive glance. Merely smiling, Dee began to unbutton Ryo's pants slowly and carefully, making sure that the one astride him could feel every touch of his fingers. Ryo shivered a bit as he allowed Dee to slide his boxers and slacks off of his lower body and toss them to the floor. Hands shaking a bit, Ryo unbuttoned and unzipped Dee's pants and slid them down and off of his body before setting them on the floor. The skin on skin contact was what Dee had been craving all night as he felt that flawless skin beneath his fingers. Heat flowed off the both of them as Dee pulled Ryo down for a deep kiss before steadying him on top.

"Are you ready?" he growled, voice throaty and low.

Nodding uncertainly, Ryo shifted as Dee sat up and pulled Ryo into his lap, their chests pressed together. Holding the slighter figure firmly around the waist, Dee guided Ryo onto his knees, straddling his lap, and began to gently lower him down. A hiss escaped Ryo's lips as he felt the penetration at the odd angle...it was uncomfortable at first, considering he wasn't used to it, but once Dee was deep inside of him, he relaxed. The familiar feeling of being filled by the one he loved was familiar and comforting, so he was able to melt into Dee's embrace, tipping his head up to accept the fierce and blistering kiss that was bestowed onto him. Parting his lips as Dee started to move his hips, Ryo groaned, matching Dee's throaty moans in pitch, as his lover's tongue invaded his mouth. Nibbling on Ryo's bottom lip for a moment, he plundered the brown-eyed man's mouth with a vengeance.

"Mmmmmm...Dee..." Ryo managed to gasp as the scorching kiss was broken suddenly. "Ahhh..."

Moving his hips faster, the sound of flesh meeting flesh echoed through the room, along with the sounds of two people in a lover's embrace. Ryo tossed his head in pleasure as he moved with Dee, bliss building between the two of them. Grunts, moans, and growls were heard from both men as they rode through their frenzied lovemaking. After the events of the previous days, it felt like coming home for both of them. While Ryo wrapped his arms around Dee's shoulders, something made his heart flutter as he kept his eyes on the green ones in front of them. Both were staring deep into the other's eyes as they rode out the last of their frenzied passion, shouting their pleasure to the world and finally slumping against the large pillows and headboard, limbs entangled and the blankets rumpled.

"I want you to know Ryo...I'll always care about you. No matter what happens, I want you to know that because I hate it when you give me the cold shoulder. It makes me feel as though you don't take me seriously."

Knowing that the only times Dee would say what was really on his mind was in these rare intimate times, Ryo sighed and lay his head on Dee's hard chest. A strong arm wrapped around his shoulders as Dee waited for an answer. Finally, there came an answer.

"You know I'll always take your feelings seriously Dee. I always have...ever since the first time you told me to never turn your feelings into a joke. From then on, I knew you were serious."

Looking satisfied with that answer, Dee pulled the blankets around them as the two settled in for a rest. Glancing out the window, he had to admit...it had never felt as good to come home. I think that I'm going to have to go away a bit more if I get a homecoming like this, Dee thought with a smile and closed his eyes, letting his body rest with his lover.

Don't worry, that's not the ending! There's going to be at least one more chapter before chapter 10 comes out...that's not the epilogue either! It's going to be a while before I end this fic, considering it's gotten such great reviews. Thank you to everyone who reviewed! Also, since there is no NC-17 on fanfiction.net anymore, I decided to just spice it up with many details about what happened beforehand. And I hope that everyone enjoyed this lemony chapter! Please read and review and lemme know what you think! Keep in mind, I haven't read the 7th manga yet since I haven't gotten it in the mail, so I'm just going with my gut on some of the emotions they're feeling. I hope that you all like it! R&R!
