Ryan sat down at the dinner table with Horatio as the man set down two plates of food.

He'd been living with the redhead for about a week now,and so far,Horatio was recovering from his trauma quite nicely.

Ryan felt that he'd even gotten closer than friendship to the man,and something told him that Horatio felt the same way.

''You know my mother was in the military?''

''Really? Wow. That must have been like a time bomb waiting to go off. You got the red hair from her,right?''

Horatio smiled. ''Yes. My mother was a redhead. In fact,if you think my temper is bad,I can tell you what hers was like.''

''Oh? How bad was her temper?''

''She was like a can of nitroglycerin bouncing along a bumpy road,''Horatio chuckled.

''Oh boy,''Ryan sighed. The room went quiet for a minute,and Ryan soon felt he had to break the silence.

''You don't have to answer this if you don't want to,but...what sorts of things did your...'father' put you through?''

''...'' Horatio didn't answer.

'Shit,I think I stepped over the line!'Ryan thought to himself.

''...He had his own little sick and twisted ideas. He mostly liked to just beat me with his hands a lot. I wasn't dragged down to the basement unless I was being extremely defiant.''

''Oh... I noticed you had scars on your wrists...''

''Yes...the shackles...where he got them from is beyond me.''

''...''

''...Ryan.''

The younger looked up at his boss. ''Yeah?''

''...I was kind of wondering if you could...ah,never mind.''

''What?''

''Never mind...You probably wouldn't do that sort of thing anyway.''

''Seriously,what?''

Horatio blushed madly. ''I was wondering if you could join me in bed tonight...?''

''For sleeping,or...that?''

''...both...''

Ryan just stared at the man,but then something clicked in his head. He'd always wanted to be in bed with Horatio.

''...I'd love to.''

Horatio smiled,a real happy smile.

Ryan leaned over and gently pressed his lips against the redhead's.

Horatio moaned and kissed back,forcing his tongue into Ryan's mouth.

They parted and made their way to the bedroom,Ryan following closely behind.

Before Horatio could even get the door open,Ryan snaked his arms around the man's waist.

''Ryan...''

Said man slipped a single hand down the front of his pants,making Horatio's head fall back against his shoulder.

He arched when he felt Ryan's hand massage him gently,and he managed to reach out and open the door to his room. He managed to pry Ryan's hands away from him and guide the younger male inside. Ryan didn't really have time to process the new environment around him as he was thrown onto the bed.

''You're not topping tonight.''

Ryan gulped and lurched when he felt two hands begin to strip him of his clothes. ''...H...''

Horatio smiled and leaned down to kiss the younger male as he reached over to the nightstand and dug out a small bottle of lube.

The redhead popped it open and spread a generous amount on his fingers and slipped one finger into Ryan's entrance while he wrapped his arms around his boss's neck.

Ryan arched suddenly when he felt Horatio's finger brush against something special. He heard Horatio mutter something that sounded like ''found it'' before he felt a second finger push in,and this time they rammed into his prostate.

''UH!''

Horatio smiled and began to kiss his way down Ryan's neck,relishing the sight of him arching a full semicircle of the bed when he found that special spot on his collarbone.

Ryan started seeing stars as the redhead worked his way down and gently bit a nipple. With a free hand,Horatio teased the other one and slipped a third finger into Ryan's entrance with the occupied hand.

Ryan didn't know what to do other than shout.

Horatio managed to crush his lips against Ryan's once more just as he pushed himself into Ryan's body. If it wasn't for the kiss,Ryan's cries of pleasure might have woken the dead.

Horatio waited,as this was apparently, judging by his reaction,Ryan's first time with a male and didn't move until Ryan whined for more.

He started thrusting at a painfully slow pace,torturing Ryan beyond belief.

''Horatio...please...faster!''

He heard the redhead chuckle and then picked up the pace. Ryan found himself melting in Horatio's arms,and his head fell back when his redheaded boss started hitting that spot again.

''H,I can't...''

Horatio slipped a hand between them and began to stroke Ryan in time with his thrusts,which earned a loud moan of sheer pleasure. Ryan's eyes grew wide in pleasured shock as the thrust increased even more,and he could feel himself getting close.

Horatio thrust harder suddenly and stiffened as he came within his young CSI. Ryan came with a shout and collapsed,leaving his boss to catch his breath.

Horatio looked down at his new lover and smiled. He pulled out and lay the blanket down on both of them as he too was beginning to fall asleep.

'He has no idea how much he's helping me,'Horatio thought as he drifted off.
