(Davin - Backdated 2/14)

Valentine's Day is a holiday that James hasn't needed to worry about for a long time, and he wishes now that the night is here that he'd been given more time to come up with something better than just dinner. However, he hasn't been seeing Davin long and by the time he needed to make arrangements almost every good restaurant in town is booked. He could've thrown his family's name around to secure a table, but he decided after that pretentious dinner party at Thornton Estate that what they needed is a casual dinner, just the two of them, where they can just talk.

That's why on a whim a couple days ago he'd called up the woman---Lilly---he'd hired to cater his father's party and asked if she'd be interested in cooking a private dinner and offered to pay her double her rate to make it worth her time. The good thing is since Davin helped him pick the food for his father, she already knows his tastes and James is hoping the food will be perfect. The other good thing is since he has to work a long shift down at the station, Lilly is in charge of making all the arrangements unlike all the running around he'd needed to do for that dreadful party. He leaves work, makes it home to change into a nice shirt and jeans, and at precisely eight o'clock on the dot, he pulls up to Davin's block.

Lilly is waiting with an armful of grocery bags, and she smiles when she sees James step out of his car. With a waggle of eyebrows and a wolf whistle, she calls him over. "Did you just step out of a magazine?" she asks him, grinning. She tugs him by the sleeve. "Come on lets go sweep that hot Irishman of his feet.

"This is okay?" James asks gesturing at his plaid shirt. He wasn't sure what to wear because he didn't tell Davin they were having dinner, and he didn't want to be over-dressed. She just gives him a look. "Fine, okay. Fine. Let's go." He directs her towards the staircase that leads from Sweet Maddy's up to Davin's balcony.

With a brief pause and a big breath, he knocks on the door and waits for Davin to answer.

"Oh, I think we can figure it out," Davin says with a sly smile. He bites his lip almost shyly and reaches over to grab a strawberry, dipping it in the cream before holding it up to James' lips. "See? It's easy."

James eyes the strawberry Davin holds out to him and it dawns on him what Lilly had in mind. She really was worth every penny. Leaning down he takes a bite of the strawberry, and it's perfectly sweetened with the cream. "Not bad," he says, licking cream from his lips.

Davin's bright amber eyes darken just a bit as he watches James eat the strawberry, and then he leans over to scoop some cream onto the tip of his finger. He reaches out to dabs it on James' bottom and grins, moving in so that their mouths are only inches apart.

"Missed a spot," he says quietly, and licks the cream from James' lip before kissing him softly. He lets out a quiet hum and then pulls back, smirking a little and giving James a wink before he sucks the leftover cream from the tip of his finger.

"I guess I did," James says, as Davin pulls back, still feeling his lips against his. He wants to kiss Davin again, but he reaches for one of the strawberries and dips it in the bowl of melted dark chocolate. It drips chocolate on the tray, but he holds his hand under to catch the extra as he offers it to Davin for a bite.

He raises his eyebrows at him, smiling. "Your turn," he says.

Davin grins and leans in, letting his tongue catch on James' fingertips before he pulls the strawberry into his mouth and bites down, eyes on James' face. Davin is good at this, the flirting and seduction, but this feels like more than that.

It's not just a means to an end, or a warm up. It's fun.

"Yum." He licks the chocolate from his lips and leans in for another kiss, reaching up to cup the back of James' neck and pull him closer. He pulls back and mumbles against James' lips, happiness radiating in his tone. "You taste better."

It's not that James is completely horrible at this, but it has been awhile and Davin is clearly better. James so doesn't mind at all though, especially when Davin cups the back of his neck and pulls him close. He smiles down at him, putting his hands on Davin's shoulders. "Me?" He asks giving in to kiss Davin back on the lips for a few seconds. "I was gonna say you."

"We taste good together," Davin replies, grinning into the kiss and leaning over to grab another strawberry. He dips it in the chocolate and then gets up on his knees, grabbing James' shoulder and swinging one leg over until he's straddling James' lap. He sits down and laughs a little when chocolate drips onto James' neck, feeding the strawberry to James before leaning in to lick the chocolate from his skin.

Davin lets out a soft hum and sucks lightly at his neck, careful not to leave a mark, even if part of him wants to. He kisses along the edge of his jaw, nipping lightly at his chin before pulling back to smile at him. "We're gettin' distracted from our dessert."

"I guess we are," James says distractedly as Davin kisses warmed skin and it feels so amazing. There's a mixture of chocolate and sweet and Davin against his tongue, and he wants more but he isn't sure how far Davin wants this to go tonight. It's could be too soon, but either way he is certainly enjoying this as it is.

Placing his hands along Davins hips where he is sitting on his lap, his fingers flex in a small squeeze as Davin places a light trail of kisses down his neck. "Or you're distracting me..."

"I'm okay with it," Davin says with a chuckle, pulling back to look at him. He rests his hands on James' shoulders and thumbs at the sides of his neck, cheeks a little pink. "Do ya maybe wanna stay the night?"

He swallows hard and cups the side of James' neck, flushing slightly. He doesn't know how soon is too soon, but he wants James to stay. Even if they don't have sex, Davin would really love waking up next to him. "We don't have to go any further than this if ya don't want to yet. I just - this was really nice, an' I don't want it t'end. I wanna make ya breakfast."

James tilts his head at him with a smile and can't help but nod. How could he turn down that offer? "You make breakfast?" He asks eyebrows raised as he looks back at him, comforted by Davin's hands on his face. "Or does this mean donuts from downstairs?"

He nods his head though, not needed a real answer to his teasing. "I can stay. I don't wanna leave either."

"I can make the hell outta some eggs an' toast, I'll have ya know. An' yeah, probably somethin' sweet from downstairs." Davin laughs, but James says he'll stay and he grins bright enough to rival the sun. He'll stay and wake up next to Davin tomorrow, and then they'll see each other again. It's such a thrilling concept to Davin.

"I'm glad," Davin says softly, leaning in to brush their noses together before giving James another kiss on the mouth. He curls one arm around James' shoulders and slides the under one under his shirt to rest against his warm, soft skin.

When Davin leans into kiss him again, James happily accepts, letting his hands rest on Davin's hips. Now that they've agreed he's staying over, he knows they don't have to rush or say goodnight. It makes things easier, but he also doesn't want to force the issue if sex is not what Davin has in mind.

However, now Davin's hands are sliding against his bare skin, and it's going to be awful hard to say stop. "You should know I haven't done this in awhile," he admits with smile. "If you're expecting me to say it's too soon. You know I'm strong-willed but not that much."

"I take that as a compliment," Davin says with a soft laugh. He reaches up to run his fingers through the soft hair at James' temple, smiling fondly at him. It's not quite surprising that James hasn't been with anyone lately, and Davin just wants to treat him right. It's been awhile for Davin, but it's been a very long time since it meant anything. If it ever has.

This means something.

"We can do whatever you want, James." He leans in to kiss him, pressing in a bit closer so that their hips are pressed together where he's straddling him. "But I won't be very good at stopping either."

He nips James' bottom lip gently, tugging just a bit before mumbling against his mouth. "I want you so bad."

It is a compliment, it is. 'Cos what he's doing is making James feel very good. Very, very good, he thinks, softly smiling up at Davin, as he teases fingers through his hair. It's nice being this close to someone again. Someone who he likes and who likes him back. "Okay---" James barely gets his word out before Davin moves even closer, kissing him on the mouth, and he responds, holding his neck, opening wide to deepen their kiss slowly.

Davin is offering him things that are hard to resist because James wants to be with him too. How could he want anything else? He can still feel Davin's warm mouth on his, pulling at his lips, and he just nods back dumb. "Yes. We can do that. Uh, let's do that," James ends up saying back so they don't have to keep stopping or checking. "Not here though." On the couch he means, moving to stand up. "Come on."

James moves to stand and Davin clings to him for a moment, marveling at his strength and running his hands over the firm muscles bunching in his shoulders. "God, you're amazin'. I just- I can't believe you're here, that ya want t'be with-"

He cuts himself off because James doesn't need to hear that, doesn't need to see Davin's insecurities laid bare. He really can't believe that James is here, but he is, and Davin isn't going to question it. He's just going to enjoy it for however long it lasts.

Davin slides off of him and stands up, biting his lip almost shyly and reaching out to take James' hands and tug him into a standing position. James is taller than him by a few inches and Davin likes that, likes that he has to look up a little to see his gorgeous eyes and lean up just a tiny bit to give him another kiss.

"It's this way," Davin says in a slightly husky voice, threading their fingers together as he pulls him through the apartment towards his bedroom. He feels a small flutter of nervousness as he leads him inside. It's small but clean, with a big soft bed that's definitely the star of the room.

He turns and slides his hands up James' chest, looking up at him as he finds the top button of his shirt and slowly pops it open, leaning in to press a kiss to the soft skin the motion reveals.

"Okay---" James follows after Davin holding his hand tightly as they move quietly through the apartment and into the back bedroom. He takes a brief look around taking in his surroundings but Davin quickly brings him back to attention as he undoes his button and kisses his neck. "Of course I wanna be with you," he breathes letting his hands fall to Davin's shoulder holding him there.

In James' mind Davin could be with anyone else. Someone more like him who isn't grumpy or unsociable. Yet for whatever reason he likes James and wants to be with him, and he doesn't want to question it too much. He wants to enjoy their night together because he thinks it could be something amazing.

He kisses Davin against the cheek moving his hand down his back to his shirt and pulling to untuck it.

Davin lets out a shuddery breath against James' neck when he pulls his shirt up, hesitating for only a second before stepping back to pull it over his head and toss it aside. He's more than okay with his body, with its winter paleness and smattering of small, dark moles. He's leaner than James, but he's still muscular and defined, and he really, really wants to see James.

He steps forward, hair slightly messy, and starts to unbutton the rest of James' shirt. He slides his hands under it and slides it down off of his shoulders, letting his gaze skim over his body before leaning in to kiss the center of his chest, letting his lips skim up to his neck, sucking a little before lifting his head for another kiss.

Though it's been awhile for him, James is easily swayed by Davin's touch to relax, and there's a definite comfort and ease here that maybe surprises him. His hands are warm against James' skin, and they feel good, confidently slipping his shirt off and touching his chest. He certainly likes the attention, likes that Davin seems intent on taking their time. He's not going anywhere, and he kisses him back, moving his hands up to catch his face, following the lead.

After few moments though, he brings one hand down to Davin's back, pressing their bodies a little closer. Their chest are tight together as they continue kissing, slow and intense.

"You feel so damn good," Davin murmurs, sliding his hands up James' back and pulling back just a little to look at him, expression a little dazed. "This is really good, huh? You an' me."

He blushes a little at that and bites his lip, taking James' hand and pulling him back towards the bed. "I could kiss ya all night."

And it's true; he could. Being with James makes him feel good about himself in a way that most of his past hook ups haven't. But this isn't a hook up, he reminds himself. This is the guy he's dating. The guy who likes him and planned a special Valentine's Day for him. Davin swallows back a sudden surge of emotion and sits on the edge of the bed, tugging James in to kiss along his stomach.

"You and me. Yes." All James can do is smile back at the daze on Davin's face but it's genuine in response. Something about what they have is working. He can tell. Can feel it. James is about the completely opposite of a dreamer. That's his sister. She's obsessed with carrying out her every romantic whim. James doesn't fall for people fast or often. He is stubborn and slow, and he thinks far too much. But he is still getting to be all of those things because that's who he is, but with Davin it is still working somehow...

And now there's kissing, and Davin tugging him forward towards the bed, between his legs. Davin kisses the exposed skin of his stomach. And well that, that is really working for James too. "I wouldn't mind," he says, putting one hand on Davin's shoulder and running the other through his hair.

Davin feels James' fingers in his hair and tips his head back, looking up at him fondly and smiling softly. He bites his bottom lip just a little and slides his hands up James' thighs, moving slowly as he goes to unbutton his pants. He pauses, waiting to see if this okay, and pulls his pants down his legs so that he's in his underwear. He lays back on the bed and undoes his own jeans, kicking them off until he's left in his black boxer briefs, and then holds a hand out for James. "Come here?"

He wants to see what they feel like together, pressed skin to skin. He wants a lot of things, really, but that's a good start.

James follows each movement closely, eyes focused on Davin undressing him first then himself, as he sits back on the bed. It would be hard to resist the image displayed before him, not that he wants to anyway. So when Davin holds out his hand, James doesn't have to consider it. Instead, he reaches out to accept, climbing onto the bed over Davin, holding his weight up with both arms until he can settle down but still bracing some of his body, waiting to see what Davin intends to do next.

Davin sucks in a breath as James climbs over him, and his legs instinctively spread to fit him between them. His hands go to James' back, sliding down to the small of it as he looks up at him with wide, bright eyes.

"I wasn't expectin' this tonight. I - I'm kinda nervous. Is that lame?" He chuckles slightly, but it's true. Sex always comes easily to Davin, but that's usually all it is. This is different; it means something. And yeah, Davin is a little nervous.

He lifts one leg and wraps it easily around James' thighs, pulling him closer and tilting his head up for another kiss, mumbling softly against James' lips. "I'm really glad you're here."

"No. Of course, it isn't," James says, sitting up slightly to look at Davin's face. He can tell he's nervous because James never seen him as anxious before, but that actually settles James even more. He's nervous too, but it's because he hasn't been with anyone in awhile and he likes Davin. He just wants things to be right for them both.

He leans back down, using his arm to hold him up just enough, and he kisses him again. "I am glad I'm here too," he says against his mouth. "You don't have to be nervous. We can do anything you want."

"I want everythin' though, is the thing." Davin laughs softly and slides his fingers into James' hair, pressing kisses along his throat and jaw. His other hand slides downward slowly, sneaking under the waistband of James' underwear and gripping at his ass.

He's been half hard since they entered his bedroom, but now Davin lets out a soft, quiet noise, rolling his hips up a bit so James can feel for himself the effect he has on Davin. He drags his lips up to James' ear, nipping softly at the lobe. "Mostly I just wanna make ya feel good."
