Chapter 4:
Everyone enjoyed the rest of the evening at the party. Including Steve and Danny. After Chin and Steve had found Kono and Danny, Steve stayed plastered to Danny's side, talking to people, smiling and laughing. Danny was slightly surprised by this, but went with it. He was happy to go with it. He let Steve hold onto his hand a few times as they were called in between groups. This even surprised Chin and Kono.
"What did you tell him to get him to do that?" Kono whispered to Chin as they watched Steve gently grasp onto Danny's hand, interweaving their fingers.
Chin grinned. "What can I say? I'm cupid." He whispered back. They both shared a chuckle as they watched Danny glance down at his and Steve's linked hands.
They got together once more and decided it was time to go, especially with work being the following day. They all thanked the governor for the party and went out to their limousine. They chatted nicely on the way to Steve and Danny's home.
"Alright guys. This was fun." Danny smiled at Chin and Kono.
"Yeah, super fun. We'll see you tomorrow." Steve chimed in after him.
"Bye guys." Chin and Kono said with smiles.
Danny and Steve slid out and walked to the door. Steve heard the limo drive away and watched Danny's hand. He liked holding onto the man's hand. It had been nice to be holding it most of the night. This time, though, he kept his distance.
They walked into the house quietly.
Steve closed and locked the door behind him. He tapped in the code to the house's alarm system and reset it for the night. He turned to see Danny standing near him, taking off his tux jacket. He folded it and placed it on the back of the couch. Danny placed his hands in his pockets and he brought his gaze to Steve.
They stood there, looking at each other in silence. Both of them could not deny the beauty they saw in the other person at that moment.
Danny dropped his gaze and cleared his throat before looking back up to him. "Look, um. . .it's hard for me to admit it, but we-I can't avoid that we have a few issues in our marriage when we do. I can't deny the fact that something needs to change if this is going to work. If. . .we are going to work out. . .if we're going to make it." Danny's throat became dry and he swallowed before continuing on. "I don't like saying anything to anyone about it. . .but I had a talk with Kono tonight. . .about us. And she actually said some things to me that made sense."
Steve looked at him when he had stopped speaking. Steve could tell from where he stood that Danny was being sincere. He wanted this to work as much as Steve did.
"So, I, uh, I mentioned some stuff to Kono and then she started telling me about this cousin of hers. How he was having issues with his marriage with his wife. He heard about this. . .method, or approach of gaining more intimacy with your spouse. It's called the twenty-second technique. . .I guess they just found twenty-seconds to show some kind of affection during the day. . .whether it be kissing, hugging, holding hands. . ." He shrugged. "I know, it sounds silly, but I'm willing to try it if you are." He looked into Steve's eyes and then down at his feet. "And. . .I know I've been withdrawn, and. . .I guess I'm isolating myself because all of this feels like it did when Rachel and I were going through our falling out. . .except, this time around, it feels ten times worse."
"Why?" Steve asked, feeling a bit offended by his choice of phrasing.
"Because. . .I never felt this way with Rachel. . .or anyone else." He looked up at Steve. "I don't think I've ever loved this much in my life. . ." His blue eyes had never been bluer to Steve. The sincerity behind every word was overwhelming. "Well. . .except Grace of course, but. . .you know. . .that's different."
Steve broke into a smile and continued to listen.
"And. . .the thought of loosing you, the one person I've truly put myself out there for and loved as much as I can as a human being. . ." Danny shrugged. "It's. . .it's baffling-it's insane to think about. . .it's. . .scary and-and terrifying and. . ." He paused. ". . .it breaks my heart." Danny said, keeping his hands in his pockets. He bit his lower lip. "I don't want this to end." He spoke softly, looking away from Steve. "I don't want. . .us to end."
Steve clenched his jaw and stepped closer to Danny. He felt his chest tighten at Danny's words. "Funny thing. . .I talked to Chin. . .about the same thing. He actually brought it up." Steve paused with a smile. "He told me the same story." He chuckled.
"Really?" Danny grinned.
"Yeah. Great minds think alike, I guess, right?"
"Or they planned it."
They both chuckled as they looked down. Steve was close to Danny. Close enough to wrap his arms around the man's waist and pull him in close. Enough to hold him tight and dear. Why was he so stubborn? Why did he refuse to do so?
"I'm willing to try it, too. It's worth it. . .To save what we have."Steve grasped Danny's wrists and slowly pulled them out of his pockets, drifting down to grasp his hands.
Danny gave a small side smile. "A kiss then?"
Steve smiled and nodded. "I think a kiss would be good."
"Okay, ready yourself." Danny said jokingly.
Steve smiled at the teasing, loving how easy it was to slip back into old habits with Danny. Steve took one small step closer to Danny. "I'm ready."
Steve wrapped an arm around Danny as Danny placed his hands to Steve's jawline and neck. Steve touched Danny's jawline softly with his other hand.
Everything felt so familiar. . .the placement of their hands. . .the closeness. . .the softness that resided in their eyes as they stared before they closed them and they found each other's lips.
1. . .2. . .3. . .4. . .5. . .
At first, they felt nothing. Both slightly disappointed, they still kept to each other's lips, holding to the twenty-seconds, both hoping for something to happen.
6. . .7. . .8. . .9. . .10. . .
Something did happen. Something changed between them. . .a drastic change.
They stopped counting and in seconds, a feeling sparked and ignited between them. Everything that had been them for the past several months vanished, and love pooled between them. The innocent kiss that began with a touch of each other's lips became something from a different planet. Lips parted, tongues released and felt around in each other's mouths.
Steve couldn't help it as an arousal flickered through him. His hand drifted up to Danny's hair and grasped it tightly, keeping Danny close. He would never let Danny go.
Danny could feel an excitement run through him as Steve encased him in his burly arms. He felt Steve grasp onto his hair. Danny drifted a hand to Steve's hair to reciprocate the action. It was difficult to grasp onto the short brown hair, but he needed Steve to stay close. . .to keep kissing him.
It was back. . .the spark, no, the fire, that had once roared between them, was burning in a fiery blaze again.
They were finally able to pull from each other. They slowly looked from each others lips up to each other's eyes. They both saw passion surge through them, feeding off each other's energies. Lips parted and their breath short, heart rates raced and their arousals flew high.
This was ridiculous.
They both knew they couldn't keep yelling and fighting with each other. They couldn't hold grudges or stay angry with each other any longer.
With hearts beating, thoughts racing, and feelings running high, they joined their lips together again in another wild, out of this world kiss. They grabbed at each other, trying to pull each other closer together.
Steve swung Danny around gently and backed him against the front door. Before Danny's back touched the door, Steve broke from him and looked into his eyes, searching for acceptance. Danny glanced to Steve's lips and slowly back to his eyes as Steve did the same.
Frozen still looking into each other's soul piercing gazes, only a single thought crossed both of their minds.
How could I doubt his love?
Danny pulled Steve in closer and joined their lips together. Steve quickly placed a hand on the door to steady himself as Danny pulled him in. Once he was balanced, Steve moved his hand down to Danny's waist. Danny leaned against the door and wrapped his arms around Steve, trying to draw him closer to his body. He couldn't seem to get close enough to him.
Steve ran his hands around Danny, feeling up and down his back as the man arched his back away from its placement against the door. He grasped onto Danny's white shirt, causing it to pull slightly from being tucked into Danny's black trousers.
Danny withdrew his lips from Steve's, but Steve continued with his kisses, needing to feel every inch of Danny with his lips. Steve's lips landed on Danny's cheek, jawline, and down to his neck, opening up to allow his tongue to pass over the man's soft neck.
Danny breathed heavily as he felt Steve's lips. He swallowed. "S-Steve?" Danny whispered out as his hand ran up Steve's neck to his head, grasping once more onto his hair.
"Hmmm?" Steve didn't dare withdraw from Danny's neck for fear if he stopped, Danny would stop.
Danny couldn't get out what he needed to say. Everything was coming back in overwhelming waves of familiarity, passion, and love. The way Steve used to make him feel. . .how he was making him feel now. It was overpowering. How could he communicate his needs to Steve? Say something. . .say anything!
Danny pulled Steve up from his neck to look into his eyes again. "I-" Danny paused as he gazed into Steve's hypnotizing gaze. It was like their wedding night all over again. Nothing but love between them.
Steve gazed at Danny with furrowed brows. The man wanted to stop. Steve knew it. He should've just kept kissing the man's lips until Danny pushed him away. Danny would want them to stop, do a few things before bed, and then go upstairs and settle down for sleep. Nothing more. It was too much, too quick. Steve could feel his hopes starting to crush into a small ball of nothingness.
Danny looked to Steve's lips and swallowed. "Upstairs." Was all that came out.
Steve couldn't believe his ears. "Really?"
Danny nodded and moved closer. "Upstairs." He whispered before placing his lips to Steve's again for a few seconds. He pulled his lips away only to place them back in quick short kisses before he stopped to look at Steve.
Steve grinned as he pulled from Danny. Danny went ahead of him and raced upstairs with Steve following closely behind.
In their room, Danny pulled Steve in and used his body to pin Steve's to the wall. "Oh, my god. Come here." Danny whispered. He joined lips with Steve and stripped off the man's jacket. Steve grinned as he felt Danny begin to fiddle with his shirt.
Energies were rising high. Danny moved his lips against Steve's, letting out small noises. He could feel himself becoming more desperate and in need.
Steve was feeling the same way. He maneuvered up Danny's waist and sides, across his chest and up his neck to grasp onto Danny's jawline.
Danny's hands trembled and he struggled with Steve's white, button up shirt. God, get a grip Danny. Come on. He thought as he continued to kiss Steve. He tried unbuttoning Steve's shirt again. His fingers fumbled as the button undid. Although he managed to undo it, he could feel himself becoming frustrated and flustered as his fingers continued to stumble along the strip of buttons. "Off. . ." He whispered desperately against Steve's lips. "Take it off. . .I want it off."
Steve chuckled. "Okay, okay." Steve began to work down his shirt before his hands met Danny's in the middle.
Danny let out a gasp and pulled the shirt apart and off Steve's shoulders quickly.
"Danny!" Steve grinned at the man's desperation.
Danny rushed to his lips. He couldn't help himself as he began to play with Steve's belt buckle. His hands couldn't seem to stop trembling.
"Oh, my god, what's wrong with me?" Danny whispered under his breath as he looked down.
Steve chuckled. "Here." Steve reached down and undid his belt as Danny stepped back a bit and watched him, running a hand through his hair, breathing hard. Steve let go of his pants and watched as Danny advanced forward to grab him.
Danny pulled at the pants. Steve stepped out of them as Danny stood up and went back to Steve's lips.
Steve moved from the wall and backed Danny to the bed. They paused for second, standing and kissing each other, taking in each other in with every breath.
Danny groaned into Steve's mouth as he swung Steve around and leaned into his body. His knee met the mattress as Steve sat on the bed. They broke momentarily to settle on the bed. Steve scooted up toward the head of the bed. Danny followed, towering over him.
Steve laid back on the cool sheets and pulled Danny to his lips. Steve found Danny's belt buckle, and began to undo it along with his pants.
Danny broke to sit up and began to unbutton his own shirt, pulling at his tie to loosen it.
"Leave the tie." Steve said huskily with passion blown eyes looking at the tie, then into Danny's eyes.
Those words in that tone caused Danny's stomach muscles to tighten in anticipation and his dick to throb hard in arousal as Steve's hand crept up to grasp his tie tightly and pull him in closer.
"I've never heard those words out of you before, Steve. You actually want me to wear the tie?" Danny grinned as his shirt tails brushed along Steve's thighs causing goose bumps to erupt through his body.
"Either you wear it around your neck, or it goes around your wrists." Steve whispered passionately with a grin on his face.
"God, Steve, you are driving me crazy right now." Danny leaned into kiss him. Steve pulled the tie away from the both of them, up towards the ceiling, stopping Danny and drawing a gasp from him.
"I know I am. Do you realize how sexy you are right now, though?" Steve leaned closer to him, centimeters from Danny's lips. "You are just. . .so. . .close." Steve whispered across Danny's lips making Danny shudder, but he did not move due to the hold Steve had on the tie around his neck. "I bet you can't. . .stand it." Steve whispered.
Danny trembled as a smile made his way across his lips. "You're right, I can't." He said quickly before crashing his lips against Steve's, causing Steve's head to land back in the pillows.
Things shifted. Steve ended up rolling on top of Danny, moving the man beneath him. Danny laid on his back as Steve towered over him.
Steve focused in on the man's shirt, working on finishing unbuttoning it as Danny laid his head back against the pillow. Steve opened up the shirt and helped Danny as he wriggled out of it. Steve knelt between Danny's legs and pulled off his trousers and boxers, leaving Danny to gasp slightly as his dick moved and settled on his stomach, erect and hard, waiting for Steve.
Steve grinned as his gaze flicked up to Danny's. Danny stared back at him with his blue eyes and sat there, waiting, with parted lips, for Steve's next move.
Steve moved and his body towered over Danny. He placed a hand next to Danny's shoulder and leaned down to place a gentle kiss to Danny's lips. Danny kissed back and took in a breath as Steve broke and kissed his way down his body.
Steve looked down when he broke from Danny's lips. He kissed Danny's chin, his chest, his stomach, and belt line area. Danny smiled as Steve placed another kiss to Danny's upper thigh. Danny watched Steve as he looked over his body.
Steve took hold of his dick and stroked it once.
"Oh, god." Danny whispered as he closed his eyes, bringing a fisted hand to his mouth, biting onto his pointer finger and clenching his fist tightly. Following the stroke was a warm and moist sensation that sent Danny's mind and body buzzing. He gasped as it consumed him and then again as the warm, moistness was replaced with cool air. "Damn, Steve." He babbled as he grasped his own hair, feeling and taking in the sensations that vibrated through him.
Steve grinned as he placed his mouth back on Danny's throbbing cock. He bobbed a couple of times, making sure to apply the best amount of pressure with his tongue. Steve moved his tongue in zigzag motions.
"God, that feels so good." Danny whispered as he kept his eyes closed. He brought his hands down and rested his hands on his abdomen.
Steve looked up Danny's body and saw his hands. He reached up and grasped one, interweaving his fingers with Danny's. His other hand rested on Danny's thigh.
Danny grinned and looked up to see Steve's eyes closed and his twisting head as he continued his movements on Danny's dick. Steve went down and stayed at Danny's base for a few seconds before going up slowly and then going back down, resting at the base again.
"Steve!" Danny sat up slightly as Steve's throat contracted around him. Danny let out a groan.
Steve came up with a gasp and took hold of Danny's cock and stroked it fast, looking up at Danny.
Danny fully sat up and grabbed Steve's neck, pulling him closer and meeting his lips. Steve continued to stroke him and let his tongue slip into Danny's mouth.
Danny broke. "Oh, god, Steve. I need you now" Danny whispered desperately to him.
Steve grinned. "Oh, me too. I want you so bad."
Danny grinned as he ran his hand down Steve's chest. Steve grabbed onto the tie and pulled him closer again.
Danny laid back down as Steve kissed him. Danny reached down, found Steve's dick and started stroking it. Steve gasped against his lips, pulling from him slightly.
"Feel good?" Danny asked, looking into his eyes.
Steve licked his lips as he closed his eyes at the stroking. "Hell yeah."
Danny smiled, looking down between their bodies. He continued with the stroking. "You're already sooo hard."
Steve chuckled. "Only for you, babe." Steve reached down and fiddled with the man's tie with one hand. He managed to pull at it and it detachment from itself. He pulled and it sent a shiver through Danny's body as the end came away from his neck. Steve tossed the tie aside and took in a deep breath as he looked into Danny's eyes.
Danny looked up at him, a smile playing at his lips.
Steve smiled back at him. "You were hard before I started on you."
"Yeah. . .it's been while." Danny grinned and pulled him closer.
"You can say that again." Steve added as he placed his lips against Danny's.
Danny played with him and moved Steve closer to his opening.
Steve felt it and moved a bit closer. "Prep, babe?"
"No. I want you now."
Steve grinned. "You're gonna regret that."
Danny chuckled. "It's worth it. Come on."
Steve shook his head as Danny placed the head at his opening. "Nah, you come on. . ." Steve reached to his bedside table and pulled out a tube and a wrapped rubber. He took off the cap and placed lube on his hand and handed the tube and the cap to Danny.
Danny took it, capped the tube, and held it as he watched Steve brushed the lube on his opening and then began to prod at him.
Danny closed his eyes and relaxed his body, feeling Steve's fingers push into him. He shuddered out a breath. "You're just trying to kill me with the teasing, aren't you?" He whispered, breathing heavily.
Steve smiled. "No teasing. . .just making sure you aren't in too much pain tomorrow."
Danny grinned. "Feels like teasing. . .trying to make it last?"
Steve smiled as he kept his eyes to his work, making sure to ready Danny as best as he could. "Maybe."
Danny gazed at him as Steve's eyes flicked up to him. The overwhelming feeling of passion consumed the both of them as they stared into each other's eyes. Steve's movements inside Danny slowed. Danny took in deep breaths, lips parted, looking to Steve's lips.
Steve leaned over his body and Danny sat up to meet his lips. Danny gasped as Steve pushed his fingers into him and pulled out at a faster pace.
Danny grasped onto Steve's face. "Please, Steve. Now."
Steve pulled from him. "I don't think I've ever heard you this desperate for me before." He whispered, an earnest look on his face.
"Okay, yes, I'm desperate, I'm begging. Just. . .please. . ." Danny whispered back, closing his eyes, continuing to grasp onto him and holding Steve's face near his own.
Steve closed his eyes and smiled as Danny held him close. He knew he wouldn't deny Danny's needs any longer. It felt like he needed to satisfy Danny to be satisfied.
Steve withdrew his fingers and Danny laid himself back to the bed. Steve knelt closer to Danny, towering over his body. Steve grabbed the small package he had pulled out earlier. He opened it and worked on fitting the condom on.
Danny closed his eyes and focused on the sensations running through his body at the moment. The way he was feeling was so unexpected. He never thought he'd feel this way again. He was excited, holding onto every ounce of suspense that swirled around them in the room.
Danny opened his eyes as he felt Steve shifting his weight on the bed near him. Danny sucked in a breath as Steve looked down to find his bearings. Steve's eyes flicked to Danny's eyes as he pushed into him.
Danny tilted his head back as Steve entered him. He gasped as Steve pulled back and then pushed back into him. "Oh. . ." He sucked in a breath. "Steve!" He whispered. His mouth dropped as Steve pushed into him.
Steve focused on pushing into him in small, slow movements. Hearing Danny groaning and making all kinds of noises as he pushed into him was turning him on to a greater degree.
Danny grasped onto Steve's biceps. He continued to gasp and to hold his breath as Steve pushed into him. He let out a little groan. He felt slightly light headed.
Steve gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, tilting his head to the ceiling. "Oh, god. You feel so good, babe. . .so tight."
Danny dropped his mouth again. "You too. You feel-" A groaned slipped out as Steve pushed into him. "-so good, babe."
Steve grinned as he placed his focus back to pushing into Danny. He had neglected their relationship immensely the past couple of months. He didn't know how he could have.
He didn't even know why they had originally stopped expressing their love for each other, verbally or physically. While the arguments recently had been about things like tasks to do around the house and other little things, Steve knew that it had a lot to do with them being so tired and wrapped up in work as well. All that mattered now was the fact that they seemed to be wrapped up in each other.
Danny surprised Steve as he sat up in Steve's lap, bringing Steve out of his thoughts.
Sitting up caused Danny to moan out loud, but his need to be close to Steve overrode any streaking pain in his lower half. Steve sat back on his legs as Danny sat in his lap. Danny grasped onto him by placing his hands to Steve's shoulders and soon drifted them to wrap around Steve's neck. He gently grasped onto the brunette hair as Steve attempted to thrust up into him.
Danny pulled them close together. Steve wrapped his arm around Danny's waist and placed his other hand on Danny's hip and slowly slithered down to his thigh. He planted his lips to Danny's left pec, kissing it, licking it, and eventually giving it a small nibble, causing Danny to gasp with a smile on his lips.
"Oh, god, I'm not gonna last long." Danny whispered, breathlessly, as he bounced up and down on Steve's dick. Danny gasped in air. Breathing was becoming slightly difficult for him.
Steve looked up at him as he finished the words. "It's okay, 'cause I'm not gonna be able to either." Steve whispered back, with a smile. Danny chuckled and bit his lower lip and tilted his face to the ceiling, exposing his neck. It felt like he was sprinting a mile. He gasped for air.
Steve stared at the neck. Tendons showed. Veins pushed against the skin with blood racing through them. Sweat glistened in small beads all on his body, but especially on his tensed, bare neck. Steve drew closer to the lovely neck, feeling the soft skin with his lips.
Danny breathed faster, excitement rushing through him. "Oh, god, Steve!" He rushed out, grasping onto Steve's hair as Steve moved his tongue along his neck.
Everything was overwhelming. Danny began to see stars as he held his breath. He released it, but it didn't help. Sensations magnified as the end was approaching, and approaching fast.
"Oh, god. You feel so amazing." Steve whispered against his neck as he tried his best to thrust into Danny. He could feel Danny's breath flutter his hair and drift along his ear as the man continued his heavy breathing. It tickled and sent chills down Steve's spine. Steve grasped Danny close and rested his head on his shoulder. "Oh, god. Danny-I'm gonna cum."
"S-Steve." Danny gasped for air. "Oh, god-" Everything flooded over Danny in an overwhelming, surging feeling. He felt his blood course through his veins. He came all over Steve's chest and abs. He saw his world blur and within milliseconds, everything went black.
"Oh, god! Danny!" Steve gasped as that feeling washed over him. He dug his fingers into Danny's back. He felt himself at his ending point as Danny's muscles contracted and he felt liquid on his stomach and chest. Suddenly, Danny's body slumped against his.
"Oh, shit." Steve gasped out as he held onto Danny. He rocked both himself and Danny as his orgasm finished. He thrusted his final thrust and stayed there for a few seconds, breathing heavily and sweating. Waves shuddered through his body as he held onto Danny. He rocked his hips slightly, grinding against Danny, finishing by feeling the last bits of pleasure before things became too sensitive to touch. He stopped moving and continued to breathe heavily. He breathed in Danny's scent and exhaled against his shoulder as he stared drunkly at the sheets on the bed. He grinned. "Oh, god." He chuckled. He swallowed. "Danny?" He whispered.
The man didn't move.
"Danny." Steve said a bit louder.
The man still didn't move. Steve held onto Danny as he leaned forward. He gently cradled the man as he laid Danny down on the bed. Danny didn't stir.
"Danny? Danny, babe." Steve said urgently as he lightly tapped on the man's cheek. Panic raced through him. What the hell? Steve placed a hand over the man's nose and mouth. There was still breath. Steve placed his fingers to the man's neck. Still a beat. A very fast, strong beat.
The hell?!
"Danny?" Steve gently tapped the man's face again. Nothing came from him.
Oh, shit! Steve made sure Danny was lying comfortably on his back on the bed. He grabbed some pillows and placed them underneath Danny's legs to elevate them.
Steve kept an eye on Danny and watched his chest move with every breath as he grabbed his phone. Just as he was about to press call after dialing 911 onto his phone, Steve watched Danny's eyes flicker open, darting every which way.
Danny's eyes fluttered open. He took in a gasp. Where was he? What happened? He sat up abruptly, feeling a little dizzy as he did so.
"Hey, hey, hey. Take it easy." Steve said with a soft smile throwing his phone down and placing a hand to Danny's arm, urging him to lie back down.
Danny did so and looked at Steve. "What happened?"
Steve smiled nervously. "I thought you'd know, because I sure don't."
Danny smiled.
"Did I fuck you senseless or something?"
Danny chuckled. "It looks it."
They both laughed. Steve sat down next to him. "I'm going to call the hospital." He reached for his phone.
Danny grabbed his arm. "I'm fine. I just need to chill for a second."
"Danny, you fainted. . .we need to get you to the hospital-"
"No. I don't need to go to the hospital, okay? If it really bothers you, we can make an appointment tomorrow. I think I fainted because I wasn't breathing properly. I began to feel slightly dizzy and then. . ." Danny shrugged and grinned.
"Do you feel dizzy at all right now?" Steve asked.
Danny sat up slowly next to Steve. He waited, feeling for any dizziness to come over him. "No."
"Nauseous?"
"No." Danny smiled at Steve's concern.
"Brain fogginess, headache, pain?"
Danny grinned as he leaned in and placed a kiss on Steve's lips. "No." He whispered as he placed another kiss on his lips. "I'm fine. Honestly."
Steve smiled softly at Danny and then looked down at his hands.
"Well, I shouldn't say that. My ass is in pain but I think I'll get over it." Danny grinned at Steve as he watched the man laugh.
Steve looked into Danny's eyes. "Oh, Danny. . ." He whispered as he leaned in closer. Danny grinned as Steve's lips met his own. Steve broke, bringing his forehead to rest against Danny's. "You sure you're okay?"
Danny nodded. "Yes. . ."
Steve grinned. He had the chance to look down at his body. He noticed the condom still on his dick. He pulled at it, slipping it off gently to ensure nothing spilled out or got messy.
"You still have it on?" Danny asked.
"Well, yeah, you passed out when I was still in you." He grinned as he tossed the used condom into their wastebasket. "I had to make sure you were okay." He said as he looked back at him.
Danny smiled softly at him. He gently touched his hand to Steve's cheek and leaned in for another affectionate kiss. He broke and continued to smile at him.
Steve smiled back at him and watched Danny breathe out as he laid back down on the bed. "God damn. . ." He heard the man whisper.
Steve chuckled at him as he watched the man breathe with closed eyes and a grin on his face. "Good?"
"Good?" Danny repeated incredulously. "The best. I mean. . .a climax like that? That ends up with me fainting? Come on. . ."
Steve chuckled again as he moved closer to Danny, lying on his side. "God, I love you."
Danny opened his eyes and looked at Steve, weariness starting on him. "You do?"
Steve looked deeply into his eyes. "Of course I do. Do you doubt that I do?"
Danny stared back into his lovely eyes. "Maybe sometimes. . ." He looked away.
"Babe. . ." Steve ran a hand down and around Danny's waist, holding him close to his body. Danny looked at him and placed his hands on Steve's shoulders. "I love you. So much sometimes it's overwhelming." Steve's piercing gaze made Danny feel foolish for doubting. "I know that. . ." He swallowed. "I know that we've been arguing a lot lately." He paused, staring into Danny's eyes. "And that doesn't help anything. Now, I'm not going to promise that we will never argue or have small squabbles now and again. But I can promise you that I will always love you. Through our squabbles, our fights. . ." He paused. "Our dinners, our meetings with perps and witnesses. . .with Grace's school teachers." He grinned as he watched Danny smile. "Good days, bad days. . .mediocre days." Steve looked up at Danny's freshly fucked hair. Steve brought a hand to run through Danny's hair. "Days where you think your hair isn't so great." They both chuckled and gazed back at each other. "Don't ever doubt that I love you, okay?" Steve leaned closer.
Danny smiled and nodded.
Steve chest fluttered in an excitable fit at Danny's expression. He leaned in to give another kiss. As he kissed Danny, he could feel Danny's hands dip slowly down his back, gently loosing their grip and position.
As Steve kissed him, Danny felt extreme exhaustion overcome him. He couldn't think. He was so tired. He felt his hands move slowly along Steve's back and tried to keep his lips moving against Steve's. But soon, everything settled into a darkness again. His exhaustion engulfed him into a deep sleep.
Steve didn't feel Danny's lips moving as he kissed him. He kept with his kisses, never wanting his love for Danny to stop. Ever. He knew, though, for certain it would never stop. Ever.
Eventually, Steve reasoned with himself that the man had fallen asleep and he needed to stop and get some sleep himself.
He settled himself down next to Danny and gave Danny a last kiss on his forehead. Steve closed his eyes and he fell asleep.
