The morning after.
Ethan yawned and stretched; his movements languid and graceful—catlike. A dreamy smile curved the corners of his mouth as he allowed the events of the previous night to play across his mind. A soft snore broke him out of his reverie and he rolled onto his side to watch his companion sleep. Relaxed in sleep the other man’s face was gentle, sweet even and Ethan reached out to gently brush a stray curl from his lover’s brow.
There had been nothing ‘sweet’ about their encounter; rather it had been filled with passion, fire, raw unmitigated need and a delectable hint of danger. Ripper was nothing if not inventive, Ethan mused. His hand drifted lazily downwards trailing across his stomach before closing around his aching cock and stroking firmly. His eyes drifted closed and his breathing quickened.
Fingers clamped firmly around his wrist, their steely grip arresting his movements and robbing him of his release even as a deep sultry voice hinted of greater pleasure to be had.
“Now, now. You wouldn’t be starting without me would you, lover?”

Like miles between us.
Giles watched the face of the other man, emotions whirling furiously within him as his eyes registered the subtle changes in the once well-loved face. Lines of hardship, and determination creased the corners of eyes and mouth. Their presence did nothing to mar Ethan’s inherent beauty; the slight imperfections if anything enhancing rather than detracting.
Giles tried to focus on the other man’s words, fighting all the time the urge to reach out and trace gently across each new line; to feel the subtle differences in texture that time had given to the once soft, smooth skin. His heart filled with longing, aching to accept the forgiveness seemingly being offered; the hint of new beginnings reflected in the warm eyes and the gentle, caring touch of the man he had forsaken so many years ago. His mind, however, spoke clearly, overruling the foolish longings of a lonely, battered heart. There was no such thing as a clean slate, no new beginnings. The events and years between them had changed them both so dramatically from who they had once been and the distance between them, despite all intentions and desires, was surely insurmountable.

Thanks for reading and reviewing *hugs* Have fun with your studying.

The perfect way to treat myself after sending AAD off to my beta.
