Early in their relationship, Dal wasn't sure. He knew he liked Gabriel in way that was more than platonic. He knew he wad fond of him. But the longer they knew each other, the more he realized how much he lacked in his life. Gabriel's warmth, his caring, his respect were all things Dal had precious little of prior to meeting him. And they're all things that made him realize the depth of his affection for Gabriel. It isn't just that Gabriel treats him well. All those things from someone else would be appreciated, but they wouldn't endear Dal to them like he is to Gabriel.

Now is hardly the time to get lost in his thoughts, though. No, instead he can let himself get lost in this experience with Gabriel, the man he loves. The man he wants. Now that's something he's sure he hasn't felt in a very long time.

The addition of Gabriel's hand around his cock, the gentle application of pressure while he strokes them together pulls a soft, quavering moan from Dal. Is he being too eager if he says yes immediately? Because, oh, yes, he wants more than just this. But...

He peers up at Gabriel through heavy-lidded eyes and nods. But...

"Yeah.... but not yet. Can I... Is it okay if I can touch you for a little first?"
