at their joined hands, and Jace could
feel how tense his body was.
    “Jace,” he said. “This is all new to me.”
    “I know.” He tilted Parker’s chin up with his free hand.
“But you can feel it.”
    He nodded and Jace felt a sense of relief. If Parker
realized there could be something between them then that was half the battle.
    “I’ve been trying to fight it all week,” Parker said. “But
when you’re close to me, I forget why I’m trying to fight it.”
    “Maybe you should just go with what you’re feeling.” Jace
wanted to encourage him, but he didn’t want to push.
    “I had a really good time tonight,” Parker admitted. “And I
want to see you again.”
    Jace leaned closer, never taking his eyes away from Parker’s
or removing his hand from his. He could feel Parker’s warm breath on his mouth
and his eyes looked so inviting.
    “You’re going to have to go slower than you’re used to,”
Parker said.
    “Slow can be good.” Jace smiled as he brushed his lips
against Parker’s jaw, moving toward his mouth. Parker looked down and Jace
sensed his embarrassment, but he couldn’t help himself, so he slowly moved his
lips against his. They were so soft and warm, and he wanted to explore more of
him, but he didn’t want to rush him.
    He couldn’t take it anymore. He had to deepen the kiss. He needed
more, so he moved his hand over Parker’s shoulder and up to the back of his
head, pushing him closer to him as he slipped his tongue inside his mouth.
Parker briefly reciprocated and Jace thought he’d blow his load from the taste
of him, but then Parker pressed his hand against his chest and tried to push
him away.
    “I don’t—” Parker was breathless, and although the man
looked conflicted he didn’t move his lips away from Jace’s.
    “You don’t what?” Jace whispered against his mouth as he
pressed his forehead to his and played with the hair at the nape of his neck.
    “It’s just different,” Parker admitted. “But I like it.” He
shifted in his seat, and Jace knew exactly what he was feeling. He was sure
Parker was just as hard as he was.
    “Parker,” he mumbled against his lips. “I’m willing to wait
for you, so why don’t you relax and let’s see where this goes?”
    Parker closed his eyes and nodded, so Jace took that as
permission to continue. He slowly slipped his tongue inside his sweet mouth,
indulging in the way his freshly grown stubble felt against his jaw. Parker may
have started out slow and unsure, but after a few seconds, he was inching his
body closer to Jace’s and taking control of the kiss by twisting his fingers in
his hair and pulling Jace toward him.
    Jace pushed him back against the chair so that he was lying
flat and then he moved in next to him, resting on his side. They continued to
kiss, and as much as Jace liked it, it was becoming slow torture. He wanted to
reach down and grab Parker’s cock, but he thought that would violate the ‘going
slow’ agreement.
    “We have to stop now.” Jace couldn’t take much more. It had
been a few months since he’d been with anyone, and for weeks he’d been
fantasizing about being with Parker. He was afraid he’d come on the spot.
    “What?” Parker pulled back just enough to see his face.
“Why?” His chest was rising and falling at a frantic rate, and Jace saw the
confusion in his eyes. He didn’t mean to reject him.
    Jace gently kissed his lips. “If we don’t stop now, I might
not be able to. You’re doing things to my body. Things I haven’t felt in a
really long time.”
    Parker smirked, revealing just how smug he could be when he
found out he was good at something. He ran his hand down Jace’s chest,
hesitating for a moment before moving over the bulge in Jace’s pants. Parker
continued to rub Jace’s dick a few times. Jace closed his eyes and moaned as he
allowed Parker to feel him.
    “You might want to stop that,” Jace managed to say. If he
didn't this could all be over much
