Nick paused in the kitchen entrance as he considered his options. He had seen the look of panic that had flashed through Lester's eyes before the man had bolted. The fact that they were on a date had suddenly become very real to Lester. It just confirmed Nick's suspicion that he was the first man Lester was attracted too.

Although that thought sent sparks of pleasure through Nick's brain, it also meant he would have to proceed carefully to not scare the man off.

That Lester was interested in him was a given. The frantic grinding at the ARC and the intimate meal they had just shared were proof of that.

Now all Nick had to do was coax the man through his uncertainty and his fears.

Nick smiled as he watched Lester bend over to put the last items away. In Nick's opinion, he had a very nice arse - one Nick would very much like to become familiar with.

Lester turned around and blushed again as he saw how Nick was staring at him. His gaze dropped as he said “I'm sorry, Nick. I ... I've never done this before.”

Nick slowly approached Lester, giving the man time to retreat. He reached his hand out and nudged Lester's chin, smiling as Lester meet his gaze. Telegraphing his intent, Nick slipped a hand behind Lester's neck. His fingers gently rubbing the back of Lester's neck, Nick slowly leant in for a kiss. “We'll only do what you want, James, and only as fast as you want to go.”

Lester considered Nick for a long moment, long enough for Nick to wonder if the man was going to back out now. Nick knew he would be disappointed if that happened, but also knew it was Lester's choice.

Nick didn't realise he was holding his breath until Lester replied, “I want to do everything.”

Nick's grin lit the room as he pulled Lester in for another kiss. “So do I, but we are going to go slow, James. I'm not in any rush ...”

Awww... fluffy! Yay for Lester wanting to go all the way.

Thanks for reading. Lester wants to, he's just not sure how...

[auntypam.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOOOH Everything! That brings all kinds of lovely images too mind:)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It does, doesn't it.. wonder what Lester's imagining...

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! So cute! So HOT! Rrrrrrr. *grins happily* I'm so happy Lester's responding to Nick, this is fab.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Lester had to respond, he's just a bit anxious about it all.

Yay! for Nick showing a bit of sensitivity for a change :-)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Nick can be sensitive, especially if it is for something he wants (g). Thanks for reading.

Awwwwwwww, I want to give uncertain!Lester a hug...

*hugs him*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Uncertain!Lester certainly needs a hug.

[fredbassett]

Ooooh, uncertain Lester is lovely :)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and he certainly is.

Oh, yay! I'm glad Nick figured out what the problem was so quickly and was actually turned on by the fact that Lester hadn't been with a man before. It was sweet that Nick was so gentle with Lester, managing to earn more of Lester's trust. And, hey, I'm really looking forward to seeing them go all the way...when the time is right, of course. :-)

Thanks for reading and commenting. I don't think it was too hard for Nick to figure out the problem, he's not totally oblivious (g). Nick's realised that if he wants to be with Lester, he's got to earn his trust. Hmm.. now wondering whether to skip bits of the process or do a slow approach to it. Thinks. Glad you are enjoying it.

That's so sweet and hot at once. Can't wait to read how it works out.

*snort* does this mean I (and Lester) am forgiven for Leste rrunning away?
Thanks, it might take some time for Lester to get there... not to mention, I've got to write it first (g).

This is gorgeously cute and snuggly! I do like uncertain Lester!
