pulled out of Deacon’s arms hopeful. “I’d like that.”

    After a rushed dinner, Deacon led Aaron into the living room. “Would you like to watch TV or would you rather I put in a movie?”
Aaron kicked his shoes off and curled up on the sofa beside Deacon. “TV’s fine.” He snuggled close, tucking himself under Deacon’s arm. “I think I could sit here with you and watch paint dry and feel perfectly content.”
Deacon usually watched one of the twenty-four hour news stations in the evening to keep on top of what was going on around the world, but he doubted reports of the ongoing military actions in the Middle East would be good for Aaron. He settled on the DIY station. “This okay?”
Aaron kissed Deacon’s neck, using his tongue to tickle the skin. “As long as you don’t mind if I do this.”
Deacon tilted his head to the side. “I don’t mind at all.” It had been a long time since he’d felt a lover’s touch. He’d tried to hook-up a few times, but always chickened out before getting undressed, unable to face the disgust of another man at the sight of his scars. It was different with Aaron. He wasn’t afraid of Aaron being turned off by his injuries, but he worried it might prompt horrific memories Aaron wasn’t prepared to deal with. Deacon grabbed Aaron’s hand. “I need you to feel something.”
“Mmm,” Aaron moaned. “I’ve been waiting to feel you for a couple of days.”
Deacon chuckled as he bypassed his hardening cock. “There’ll be plenty of time for that later. This is what I need you to touch.” He settled Aaron’s hand on his leg. Deacon knew the hollows in his thigh muscles could be felt through the heavy denim and waited for Aaron’s reaction.
“Does it hurt?” Aaron slid his palm up and down Deacon’s leg, in essence doing a blind examination of his injury.
“It’s tender in places,” Deacon acknowledged. “I wanted you to know what you’re getting into.”
Aaron stared up at Deacon. “I’ve seen worse.”
“I’m sure you have. I just didn’t want to surprise you with it.” Deacon spread his legs slightly when Aaron moved to stroke his cock through his jeans.
“I don’t freak out over stuff like that anymore. I think working at the fire station has helped with that.”
Deacon pulled Aaron’s T-shirt off over his head. He brushed the pale-pebbled nipples with his thumb, delighting in Aaron’s deep groan. Confident in Aaron’s response, Deacon pinched one of his nipples. Aaron’s body jerked.
“They’re sensitive,” Aaron explained. He moved to his knees and directed Deacon’s head to his chest. “Bite them.”
Deacon rubbed his heavy five o’clock shadow over Aaron’s chest before taking the protruding nub between his teeth. He laved the tip with his tongue as he bit down.
Aaron cried out, thrusting his groin against Deacon’s trapped arm. Deacon manoeuvred himself until his arm was free and pushed up between Aaron’s legs, giving Aaron something to grind against. He kneaded Aaron’s ass while he continued to bite and suck the twin pink discs.
“Please tell me you’re planning to take me to bed.” Aaron continued to hump against Deacon’s arm.
Deacon released Aaron’s nipple. He’d promised himself he wouldn’t take Aaron to bed until he’d told him about digging into his past, but how could he do that without telling Aaron of his secret occupation? Temptation would be the death of him. He removed his hold on Aaron’s ass and settled Aaron down beside him.
“You’re gonna send me home, aren’t you?”
“I need to tell you something.” Deacon tried to get the words out, but the dejected expression on Aaron’s face threatened his resolve. “Something’s come up, and I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to spend with you for the next month or so. I think it would be better if we held off on spending the night together for now.” Maybe he’d figure out a way to break the news to him later. “I’d still like to
