Chapter 13:

The reception was starting to wind down when Grace came up to her daddy and pulled on his hand. Danny looked down at his beautiful daughter.

"Hey Monkey. You need something?"

"Daddy, will you dance with me one more time?" Grace asked sweetly.

"Of course baby" Danny smiled at his daughter.

He set down his beer, took her small hand in his larger one, and led her to where there were a few other couples still dancing.

"Wait a minute" Grace said as she ran over to where Steve was standing.

Danny watched as the two talked for a minute. He saw Steve look up and grin down at Grace. She tugged Steve's hand all the way over to where Danny was standing.

"I want to dance with both of you" she said smiling and looking back and forth between the two men.

Neither Danny nor Steve could resist her angelic face. Steve picked her up and held her with one arm. He then slid the other arm around Danny's waist. Danny put one hand one Grace's back and the other on Steve's. Grace put an arm around each man. She was so happy that her daddy and Uncle Steve made each other happy. It made her feel good to see her daddy smile so much more than he used to.

The trio swayed to the music. As the song ended, Grace let out a huge yawn. Steve and Danny both chuckled. Janice had been watching the three of them and saw Grace yawn. She walked over and placed an arm around Danny.

"I think it is time for us to head out" she said.

She reached out and took Grace from Steve's arms. Grace looked at her father and smiled sleepily.

"I love you Danno. Have fun on your trip."

"Danno loves you too, Monkey. I'll miss you" he said smoothing her hair.

"I love you too Uncle Steve. Don't forget to take care of Danno"

"I love you, Gracie-girl. And I promise I'll take care of him" he told her, kissing her cheek

Danny hugged his mom and thanked her for taking Grace for the night. Ben came up behind Janice and took Grace from her. She was almost asleep and she snuggled right into Bens arms. Janice hugged Steve and told both of the men to have a good time.

Everyone else had left with the exception of Mary, Kono and Chin. Mary and Kono were cleaning up inside and Chin was cleaning up outside. Steve and Danny helped him and they made quick work of it. Once everything was cleaned up, Chin, Kono, and Mary said their goodbyes. Steve closed the door behind them. He turned and looked at Danny.

"Finally alone" he said quietly, leaning against the door.

"Yeah" Danny replied.

Steve pushed away from the door and walked over to where Danny was standing. He took Danny's hands and placed them on his heart. Danny could feel Steve's heart pounding underneath his hands.

"Do you feel that?" he asked.

Danny nodded.

"That's what you do to me" he said with his trademark sexy half grin.

He pulled Danny close and wrapped his arms around him. Danny looked up into Steve's blue-green eyes.

"I love you Steven" he whispered.

"And I love you, Danny" Steve whispered back.

Steve leaned his head down and ever so softly kissed Danny's lips.

Danny closed his eyes and sighed.

"Steve," he began, "I know this is going to sound crazy, but I feel nervous. I know it is stupid and I shouldn't, but I do. I don't know why, I mean it's not like this is our first time or anything, I just-"

Steve cut Danny off by kissing him again.

Steve chuckled against Danny's mouth.

"I feel a little nervous too" Steve admitted.

Danny felt better knowing he wasn't alone in his feelings. He looked up at Steve again.

"You ready to head up?" he asked.

"You have no idea" Steve growled.

"Race ya to the shower" Danny called taking off up the stairs.

Steve, not to be outdone, took the stairs two at a time passing Danny, and was standing in the doorway to the bathroom when Danny walked in.

Danny walked slowly over to where Steve was. He placed his hands on Steve's chest. He slowly began to unbutton the buttons of Steve's shirt. Steve reached for Danny's buttons but Danny stopped him.

"Let's take it slow," he told him, "I want this to be special, not rushed."

Danny finished unbuttoning Steve's shirt and slipped it off his shoulders and let it drop to the floor. He ran his fingertips down Steve's broad chest, his thumbs brushing over his nipples.

"Danny" Steve breathed.

Danny slowly traced the outlines of Steve's tattoos. He took in each curve and muscle of Steve's arms. He took his hands and intertwined their fingers. He placed a small kiss on each of Steve's fingertips. As he got to the last one, he darted just the tip of his tongue out, just enough for Steve to feel it.

Steve let out a quiet moan. He couldn't stand it any longer. He needed to be skin to skin with Danny. He needed to feel his hard body up against his own. He took his hands from Danny and unbuttoned Danny's shirt and let it drop to the floor. He put his hands on Danny's waist and pulled him into the bathroom. He turned around and pulled a lighter from the cabinet drawer. He lit several small candles that he had placed along the countertop. He then started the water in the shower. Making it just hot enough to cause steam and sting the skin just a bit, but not hot enough to burn. He then took hold of Danny's belt loops and pulled him close. He looked into Danny's baby blues. He saw everything he ever needed in those eyes…pure, unadulterated love. He leaned his head down and captured Danny's sweet lips in a passionate kiss. He pulled Danny as close to him as he could. His hands roamed Danny's back. He slipped one hand into the waistband of Danny's pants.

"Off" he said. "I want these off"

Danny grinned at him with a sexy look on his face. He leaned as close to Steve's face as he could get without touching it.

"If you want them off, then take them off" he whispered.

Steve didn't have to be told twice. Faster than Danny could blink Steve had his pants unfastened and down around his ankles. Steve looked down and could see that Danny was as hard as he was. Steve then pulled Danny's boxers off. Danny stepped out of his clothing and pushed them aside. When Danny looked back up at Steve, his pants and boxers were gone as well.

"Hey, no fair" Danny protested.

Steve just laughed and pulled Danny into the shower. Danny pulled Steve's head down and kissed him long and hard. His tongue darted in and out of Steve's mouth, tracing the lines of Steve lips. Steve pulled away and kissed a hot trail down Danny's neck.

"Steve" Danny moaned.

Steve kissed his way up Danny's neck to his ear. He nipped at Danny's earlobe.

"It is such a turn on when you say my name."

Steve then pulled away, turned and picked up Danny's shampoo. He squeezed some into his hand. He gently began to message the shampoo through Danny's thick blond hair. He then washed out all the shampoo, careful not to get it in Danny's eyes. Danny was humming gently by the time Steve was done.

"God that felt good" Danny told him.

Steve quickly washed his own hair and shut off the shower.

They both got out and grabbed their towels. Steve gently took Danny's from him and began to dry his hair and back.

Once they were both dry, Danny took Steve's hand and led him into the bedroom.

"Steve, I need you so much. I have missed you, missed your touch the last few weeks" Danny quietly confessed.

"I've missed yours too" Steve said gently.

"Make love to me Steve, please. I can't stand another minute of this torture" Danny pleaded.

Steve gently laid Danny down on the bed and covered him with his body. He captured Danny's lips again and kissed him soundly and passionately. He felt his way down Danny's body until he found what he was looking for, Danny's rock hard cock. Steve put his hand around it and Danny let out a loud groan. He slowly pumped it a few times and then released it. Danny whined just a bit at the loss of Steve's touch.

Steve grabbed the lube off the nightstand and quickly put some on. He wanted…no need to be inside of Danny. He wanted to make love to the man he loved more than anything else in the world. He wanted Danny inside of him too, but he could wait until later for that. He felt a need and a want to please Danny first. This man that had given himself to Steve, trusted him with his life, and loved him just as much as he did him.

Steve gently brought Danny's legs up and positioned himself to enter Danny's body. Danny's was breathing harder by the second. This is what they had been waiting and wanting the last two weeks. Two long torturous weeks of nothing but some great make out sessions and a few cold showers.

Steve looked at Danny with "the question" written on his face.

Danny nodded to Steve.

Steve slowly slid into Danny.

Danny and Steve both groaned at the pure pleasure they felt at last.

Steve slowly began to thrust his hips, not wanting it to end too fast.

"God, babe, you feel so good" he told Danny.

"Steve…oh…Steven" Danny moaned over and over.

Danny grabbed Steve's head and pulled him down in a hard, wet, dirty kiss.

"Oh my god" Steve gasped when Danny finished the kiss.

Steve knew the time was getting near. His body was on fire. He reached a hand down and placed it around Danny's cock again. He began to pump it hard and fast, matching his thrusts.

"Steve, Steve, oh god, Steve"

"Danny, I'm…here it…Danny"

Steve thrust and pumped one last time as they both reach that beautiful oblivion at the same time. Steve could feel Danny's hot come spurting out of his cock and running down onto his hand, and Danny could feel Steve's cock shuddering inside of him. Steve collapsed onto Danny both heaving and desperately trying to catch their breaths.

"Steve?"

"Hmm"

"That was the best yet."

"Yeah, it was."

"Think it was worth the wait?"

"Most definitely worth the wait."

"I love you, babe."

"Love you too."

They both slipped off to sleep wrapped in each others arms, waking several times during the night to make love again. Each time was better than the last.

The last time was right before dawn. As they basked in the afterglow, Steve asked Danny what time they had to leave for the airport. If he hadn't asked, they probably wouldn't have made their flight.

First of all let me say that I hope you all think that this was worth the wait. I wanted "the night" to be special, but also more about just sex! I wanted it to be about their love for one another! I haven't quite decided where to send them for their honeymoon...any suggestions? I was thinking maybe San Francisco, or something like that. What do you think? Please let me know! Thanks for reading! Love to you all! ~SD :)
