(Davin - Backdated 2/14)

[jamesthorn]

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.

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."

[davin]

"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."

[jamesthorn]

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."

[davin]

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.

[jamesthorn]

"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]

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.

[jamesthorn]

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.

[davin]

"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.

[jamesthorn]

"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]

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.

[jamesthorn]

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]

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."

[jamesthorn]

"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."

[davin]

"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."

[jamesthorn]

"I'm not going anywhere," James assures him in a low voice as Davin kisses against his jaw and down the line of his throat. This is exactly where he wants to be, and as Davin's hands cup against his ass, moving their bodies together, there's a surge of excitement and desire that passes through him. They are definitely doing this.

He likes the sound Davin makes as he pushes his hips up against his, letting him feel the hardness there, and his own body begins to respond in kind. He reaches up to thread his fingers through Davin's hair as he whispers in his ear. The words leave his entire face warm, and he nods at him. "I'm....surprisingly okay with that," he says, leaning back to kiss Davin again, moving his hand down to the back of his head, pressing him closer.

[davin]

"Are ya now?" Davin says with a low chuckle, arching up with a soft sigh at the touch of James' hands. They're big and warm and leave his skin burning in the best possible way when they touch him. "Ya just have t'promise not t'stop touchin' me, aye?"

He kisses James again, long and deep, tongue sweeping into his mouth, before he pulls back and rolls them so that Davin is on top. He grins and kisses James again, sliding his lips down over his James' jaw and pressing wet, open-mouthed kisses to his neck as he reaches down to slide his hand into James' underwear. He curls his long, slender fingers around James' dick with a soft gasp, thumbing at the head to smear the wetness there before slowly starting to stroke him. His grip isn't too tight since there isn't enough slick to really ease the way, but it's enough to get him fully hard as Davin starts kissing his way down James' chest. "Is this a good start, hm?"

[jamesthorn]

"I won't," James promises without much need, as soon as Davin moves on top of him, he slides his hands up his thighs and over his back feeling his warmed skin, wanting to feel him even closer. He has no reason to stop touching him for the rest of the night. And quickly he appreciates this new vantage point because Davin slowly kisses him all over, down his neck and over his lips, using his tongue against James' throat, and it feels damn good. In response, he feels his erection quickly hardening against his leg.

That's when Davin's fingers slip inside his underwear, and his hands even better. So much better. No one has touched him like this in so long, but he definitely wants Davin to continue. "I would say a very good start," he breathes out, letting his head fall back against the bed.

[davin]

"I'm gonna hold ya to that," Davin murmurs against his skin, moving to drag his tongue across James' nipple. His cock is thickening in Davin's hand and he moves down to press his mouth to James' stomach, tongue tracing the groove of a hip while he slowly works James' underwear down off his legs. He gets his own off a little quicker, tossing them aside and settling between James' legs with his own cock thick and stiff, jutting out and begging for attention.

But this is about James. For now, at least. Davin wants to make him feel good, and it's not like that will be any chore, not with the way his mouth waters at the sight of his cock. It's big and flushed dark pink at the tip, and Davin's strokes slow as he looks up to meet James' eye for a moment.

He keeps that eye contact as he lowers his head and lets his mouth fall open, tongue reaching out to lick across the head of James' cock with a soft, pleased little sigh.

[jamesthorn]

The way Davin moves is slow, deliberate, drawing James in completely to a point where he doesn't want to tear his eyes away for even a moment. He watches intently as Davin kisses against his stomach, drawing his clothes away, as he stares James down and licking against his cock. A simple flick of tongue is all it is, but that makes James sigh agreeably to having Davin's mouth on him.

Even without the promise he made, James wants to touch him, encourage him to continue. So he does. Reaching down to touch the side of Davin's neck, he lets his fingers snake into the hairs at his neck. He wants to push up with his hips to find that heat that he knows is there, he doesn't though. Davin said he wants to make him feel good, and James wants to let him.

[davin]

James' touch makes him shiver in the best way, and he wraps his fingers loosely around the base of James' cock, holding it in place as he sinks down with a soft little moan. James fills his mouth wonderfully, stretching his lips wide and resting heavy on his tongue. His eyes fall shut as he starts to suck, moving up and down slowly on James' cock.

His fingers are in Davin's hair, gliding along his skin, and Davin loves it. His eyes flutter open and he looks up at James' face from under his lashes, pleased to see the blatant pleasure written all over it. James' cock hits the back of his throat and he makes another quiet sound, one of pleasure, and swallows around him a few times before he pulls off with a gasp.

Davin's lips are red and puffy, and they curve up into a smile as he slowly jerks James off. "You taste really good."

His eyes flick to the nightstand and he lets go of James, gracefully moving up to straddle his hips and sit down. "I just - I want ya inside me. Do you want that?"

Davin is a switch, and he's willing to roll with James' preferences, but he just really wants to feel that cock inside of him. "We don't have t'do that tonight, if ya don't want. It's up t'you."

[jamesthorn]

This image of Davin blowing him, lips stretched around him, red and slick, James feels like will be seared into his brain for a few days after this. He would have been okay if this isn't how tonight went, but now that they are in bed together he isn't going to pretend he doesn't want this.

As Davin pulls his mouth off him, James groans a little at the loss of contact because he wants more of that. He definitely wants more. Placing his hands along Davin's hips when he straddles his lap, James looks back at him, something inside of him heats up even more when Davin says that. It takes,a second before he answers because Davin's hand is still on his cock, making it hard to think so clearly.

"I want that," James tells him, nodding, letting his hands lower back to Davin's ass. "I want you."

[davin]

Davin lets out a breath that he didn't even realize he was holding, smiling warmly down at James and leaning in for a kiss. He's so turned on and he shivers in anticipation, tilting his ass back to press into his hands. That distracts him for a moment but then he remembers the task at hand and climbs forward, reaching into the nightstand and digging around for his condoms and lube. He tears one off of the strip with his teeth and moves to straddle James again, holding the supplies out to him.

"Will ya get me ready? Your fingers, I-" He turns the tiniest bit pink and bites his lip, getting up onto his knees and spreading his legs a little, bracing himself with his hands on James' firm chest. "I think about them a lot."

[jamesthorn]

Suddenly, there is a bottle of lube being pressed into his hands, and goddamn, James is completely ready for this. There's never been part of him that liked the casual sex thing. He's handsome enough, rich, and maybe he wouldn't have to try that hard to find people that wanted to sleep with him. Being with someone he has actual feelings for is so much better. Problem is he's always been too busy with work and the family and everything else to put himself out there.

Now Davin is here. And the guy just kind of happened to James without he really noticed. He's glad though. God, he's glad because Davin shifts up onto his knees practically on display for him and he just really wants to do this now. "Oh yeah?" James asks him, intrigued by this, and he's smiling as he makes quick work of snapping open the lid of the bottle and squeezing the cold clear gel onto his fingers. "You think about me? What do you think about?" As he asks he moves his fingers against Davin's ass, slicking the gel all over until it feels okay to push a finger inside.

[davin]

"Fuck," Davin breathes out with a soft chuckle. "That's hot as hell."

He didn't really know what James would be like in bed. Not that he thought he'd be disappointed, because that thought never crossed his mind, but James asking those questions surprises him. In a very good way. "Yeah, I think about ya a lot."

James' finger slips inside of him and it's good, it's really good. Davin lets out a soft moan and nods, pressing back against James' finger, sliding his hands up to grip at James' shoulders. "I would touch myself an' wish it was you. I would think about your goddamn gorgeous hands and want them on me, in me.

He rolls his hips slowly, fingertips digging softly into James' shoulders as he looks down at him, licking his lips. "The reality's so much better. I can take another. James, please."

[jamesthorn]

It is hot. That's for sure. He watches as Davin respond as he touches him, as he tells James how much he's thought about him touching him, and James would definitely love to put his hands all over Davin and do anything and everything he's already thought about because he thinks it would be good. It's already good as his finger glide in and out, slowly, but quicker when Davin practically begs him to use his others.

"Okay. God," he mutters watching his tongue flick out against his lips. Davin's amazingly gorgeous like this. He slides his finger out completely but then replaces them with two, wanting to ask if this is what he wants. Instead, he uses his other hand to bring Davin forward to kiss him deeply, pressing his tongue inside as he moves his other hand, using his fingers to tease him, stretching and pushing them a little deeper.
