Chapter Seven:

As soon as the boys entered Esposito's apartment, they were in each other's arms. Ryan grabbed his partner's face between his hands and kissed him hard. Esposito forced Ryan up against the wall as he groaned.

"We need to talk." Esposito tried to stop the other man, whose lips were currently working on his neck. Esposito moaned.

"Later please. I need this, I need you." Ryan pleaded. He shoved Esposito's jacket off his shoulders and threw it to the floor. One hand curled into his partner's shirt and the other latched on to the back of his neck. Their lips met again. Ryan plundered Esposito's mouth with his tongue. Esposito groaned and braced his hands on the wall. Resisting his partner was always hard but he had to do it this time. They needed to talk and sex wasn't going to change that, it could wait until after. Esposito grabbed the wrist attached to his neck and pulled away from his partner.

"Kevin stop." Esposito looked at Ryan. Lust filled his eyes and his lips were red and swollen from the fierce kisses they had traded. It only takes Ryan a second before anger clouds his face. He shoves Esposito away from him and goes into the living room.

"Damn you Javier. I told you I wasn't ready to talk, why can't you just let this shit go?" He glared at his partner.

"Bro, we don't keep things each other." Esposito said softly. Ryan crossed his arms over his chest and cocked an eyebrow. "Yes I know, but my time over there is not something I can share. You couldn't understand even though I know you want to. But your situation is different, especially now that the case is back." Esposito had walked up to his partner and stood in front of him. Ryan relaxed his arms. He walked around and sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands. Esposito sat down next to his partner and rested his hand on his shoulder.

"Talk to me baby." It wasn't a sentiment they used often but sometimes it was needed. Ryan took a deep breath and began his story.

"Four years ago, while I was working narcotics, I started a deep undercover assignment to bust a huge heroin ring. Everything was as normal as any other assignment. The goal was to get evidence on Track, who always seemed to keep his hands clean. My partner, Taylor, and I went under together. I'm telling you I had no idea that there was a prostitution ring going on." Ryan turned to Esposito and pleaded with him to understand. Esposito nodded, encouraging him to continue.

"Taylor and I had been under for six months and I worked my way deep into the organization. I was shocked as hell when Beckett arrested me. I had been so deep undercover I actually ran from her and tried to resist. Almost forgot I was a cop." Ryan laughed. "When everything got sorted out, she asked what information I had on the prostitution ring and murdered girls. I had no idea what she was talking about. My captain had agreed that I could work with Beckett to help her solve her case. We had to be careful not to get caught but we managed. After I was released I went straight to Track. After a few beatings for being picked up by the cops, he let me in on the secret. God, I wished he hadn't. He actually kidnapped girls and made them work the streets. A lot of the girls were runaways but not all of them. He used them to get more customers for his heroin." Ryan had to stop and take a breath. The next part of the story is what he didn't want to tell his partner, the man he loved. Esposito looked at him curiously. He knew Ryan was going to say something heavy and it was probably something he didn't want to hear. Esposito moved his hand from Ryan's shoulder and interlaced their fingers.

"Tell me." He whispered.

"I slept with him. Track I mean." Ryan stared ahead. "It was part of the reason he let me in on the prostitution secret. I'm just grateful it didn't happen often. I tried to stay out on the streets as much as I could but he would corner me sometimes." Ryan chanced a glance at his partner and saw the pain and anger on his face. Ryan was quick to comfort him, "it didn't mean anything I swear. It was just sex and frankly it wasn't all that good. Nothing compared to what you and I have."

"Kevin, stop it." Esposito kissed his partner. "I know it didn't mean anything. Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Not really. I never figured out why they tortured and killed the girls. Another body turned up even after I knew what was going on. Beckett and I slipped up and got caught meeting one day. He shot me as a show of his power. He warned me he would see me again one day. As soon as I got out of the hospital I joined Beckett's team, then I meet you." Ryan smiled.

"Well don't worry bro; I've got your back. Track won't get to you this time." Esposito returned the smile. Ryan sighed to show his relief. He had pushed that time of his life to the back of his mind. He never had any intention of telling his partner the truth. Whenever Esposito asked about the scar on his shoulder he said he got shot on the job and then changed the subject. He never realized what a huge weight the secret was and it felt good to let it go. He and Esposito were partners in every way and he trusted him with everything.

"I Love you Javier." Ryan stated. The boys rarely voiced their feelings, so when they did it was that much more intense.

"I love you too. Now let me show you how great sex can be." Esposito stood up pulling his laughing partner along with him.

The mood in the apartment had done a complete 180 degree turn and the boys were back to their old selves once again. Although they had been together for a year now, their sexual attraction for each other hadn't changed at all. They grabbed at each other's clothing as they stumbled towards their bedroom. They fell in bed together, their naked bodies molded perfectly. They rolled each other over, back and forth, both fighting for dominance. Esposito won like he always did, because Ryan always let him. He would never admit how much he loved to wrap his legs around his partner's waist. Esposito settled in between Ryan's legs, grabbing hold of one of his partner's thighs and holding it tight to his hip. Esposito loved having sex this way because he loved the feeling of his partner's thighs wrapped tightly around his waist; not that he would ever voice that opinion. The men both moaned as their hard erections rubbed against each other. The kisses they traded were passionate but not hard. They lingered in each other's arms feeling the comfort that only they brought to each other.

Esposito broke the kiss to reach for the lube. He made quick work of loosening Ryan up. Ryan moaned and arched his back off the bed as Esposito finally entered him.

"God yes Javi!" Ryan moaned, grabbing at any and all parts of Esposito that he could.

"You feel so good Kev!" Espostio continued to stroke in and out.

"Harder please." Esposito, as always, could only oblige his partner's begging. He hit his prostate with every stroke. Ryan reached down to stroke himself but Esposito slapped his hand away. Ryan groaned his disapproval.

"I'll take care of you, I promise." Esposito once again hit Ryan's prostate. He continued to move in and out of his partner's body till he felt Ryan's body begin to clench around his hard member.

"So close, Javi, I'm gonna…." Esposito thrust in one last time and Ryan came. Esposito thrust in and out a few more times before he came inside of Ryan. He rested on top of Ryan to catch his breath, knowing his partner could handle his weight. After a few moments he slipped out and shifted to his side. He pulled Ryan close to him. Neither man felt the need to clean up, both loving the feeling of the sticky mess between them. They fell asleep in each other's arms, not worrying about what was to come when they continued investigating their case.


The next few parts will be focused more on the case with very little smut involved. Sorry guys.

I am very thankful for my followers, makes me want to keep writing.
