Chapter 2

A little over a week later, everyone had adjusted to the new living arrangement; the girls were doing everything together and the boys were fast becoming friends.

*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*H50*

Steve and Danny were sitting on the beach, watching the girls play in the surf. Steve stood up and pulled off his shirt, "Come on Danno, let's join them. The water will feel great after all this sun." Steve stood there, looking down at Danny, holding his hand out. Danny reached up and took it, letting Steve help him up. "You know the ocean is full of dangers, right? So,you better appreciate this." Danny said, pulling off his shirt. Steve was breathless, Danny was surprisingly fit under his clothes. And also kinda pale, "You better let me help you with the sunscreen. You don't want to miss a spot in this sun." Steve said, motioning to Danny's back. Danny frowned, "Yeah. Cancer would be bad. Do me up." he said, handing the sunscreen over to Steve. Steve squirted some out onto his hand, lathering them to warm it up a bit, pausing as he examined the wide expanse of flesh before him. Shaking himself out of his stupor before Danny could notice, Steve started massaging the sunscreen into Danny's muscles, lingering longer than necessary. Finishing, Steve twirled a finger, "Turn around, I'll get your front too." Danny turned, "I can handle it Steve." Steve smiled, holding up his hands, "But I'm already all sticky." Danny sighed, nodding.

Steve repeated the warming up process before slowly applying the sunscreen to Danny's chest. His thumb grazed a nipple, causing Danny to suck in a breath. Steve looked into Danny's eyes, wanting to make sure he wasn't pushing things too far, and got lost in his lust-filled gaze. They were knocked into awareness as Grace launched herself into Danny's legs, "Danno! Are you coming swimming with us?" Danny looked down at Grace with a smile, "Yes Monkey. I'm going in the water with you. Hey, you're getting a little red. I bet if you ask Steve nicely, he'll re-do your sunscreen for you." Steve watched as Danny raced off into the water. Grace smiled up at him, Steve sighed. "Mary, kiddo, come over so I can do yours too!" he yelled, giving in.
