[ACE] make you understand.

Derek was surprised, but met the kiss tenderly anyway, holding Ace close. He pulled the boy's legs tighter around himself, kissing softly over his jaw. "You don't huh?" He breathed with a crooked smile.

Ace's breath caught as he felt the kisses over his jaw. "No way." He breathed, his hands running slowly up his chest. He tilted his head for him, moving his hips a little closer.

Derek smirked, shifting his weight some. He was careful to keep the bike upright, teeth grazing skin before he searched out Ace's lips, a hand sliding to his hip and the line of his jeans.

Ace met the kiss gently, slowly slipping his hand up Derek's shirt. He ran his hand gently over his bare skin, his other hand reaching up to cup his cheek and kiss him deeper. He felt like he was in heaven, like this was how it was supposed to be.

[derek chandler ralston]

Derek deepened the kiss only when Ace did first. He was terrified of frightening the boy, scaring him away. That was the last thing he wanted after trying so hard and finally earning his trust. He had never expected something like this to come of it, of course. Hips pressed closer, and Derek tugged gently on Ace's shirt

Ace couldn't help thinking he was almost glad he'd been hurt so much. It made him skeptical, sure. But it also meant he knew what he was doing more or less. He pulled away a bit to tug his shirt off, tossing it down with Derek's. He took a moment to look Derek over, almost shocked by how close they were. "I really want this.." He breathed, looking over at Derek. He ran his hands gently over his chest, leaning close for another kiss.

[derek chandler ralston]

"Mm.." Derek caught his hands, holding them close for a moment before he let go to hold onto Ace's waist, adjusting his legs to better steady the bike. He kissed him lovingly, a gentle smile passing his lips, revealing sharp teeth. "You sure..?"

[aerin 'ace' colt endsley]

Ace nodded, looking over at Derek. "I never wanted anything more than this.." He said quietly, resting his hands above Derek's jeans. He wanted someone who was finally going to treat him well, prove to him that everything wasn't bad. "I wanna be normal like everyone else.. And I really like you a lot."

[derek chandler ralston]

"Okay.." Derek breathed, smiling again. He gently began to unbutton Ace's jeans, pulling them down and helping him out of th em while keeping him from falling off the bike. "You're beautiful, you know?"

[aerin 'ace' colt endsley]

Ace managed to get out of his jeans, his heart pounding. He was scared. It was only natural, but that fear was washing over him again. He took a deep breath, telling himself Derek would never do anything to hurt him. He smiled, leaning over to kiss him softly. "Yeah?" He breathed, slowly working Derek's jeans undone. He doubted they needed to be anymore than unzipped.

[derek chandler ralston]

"Gorgeous." He met the kiss tenderly, tugging his jeans a little lower before pulling the boy close. He was hesitant, feeling the rapid heartbeat. But Ace's age never once crossed his mind. "I'll take good care of you buddy, I promise," He whispered in his ear. He helped Ace into his lap, holding him close and gazing into his eyes, determined to prove he no longer had to be scared.

Ace let Derek pull him closer, looking into his eyes. That fear suddenly washed away, more content than ever.

Ace rested his head on Derek's shoulder, his cheeks hot with blush. He closed his eyes, gently running his hand over his side. "That was amazing.." He breathed, gently wrapping his arms around him.

[derek chandler ralston]

Derek wrapped firm arms around Ace, holding him close. "Mm..." He breathed, staying quite until he could catch his breath. Definitely a first on a bike. He chuckled at the thought. "I think swimming might be in out agenda now... you're amazing.." He kissed the side of his head.

[aerin 'ace' colt endsley]

"It comes with the territory." He said quietly. Something about being on the bike had made it all the more thrilling to him. Maybe that's why he was so adamant about going through with this. He smiled, giving him a gentle kiss before he climbed off the bike. He pulled back on his boxers, then darted to the water, jumping in.

[derek chandler ralston]

Derek smiled and watched him go. He got off the bike slowly, freeing himself of his jeans and adjusting his boxers before he followed and dove in after the boy. The cool water washing over his sweaty body felt amazing.
