Summary: Going slow has allowed David to put off the inevitable… David has a small dick. (Surprise - so does Patrick).
*****
David bites his lip as Patrick rolls them on the bed, straddling David’s body with his hands on either side of David’s shoulders and his knees just outside David’s thighs. Patrick smiles as he leans down to brush a kiss to David’s lips, the rest of his body hovering just out of reach.
“I’ve thought about this so many times,” Patrick says, kissing him again, harder this time. David lets out a little sigh, and Patrick presses back, slanting his mouth against David’s, dragging his tongue along his lower lip. “I can’t believe we’re finally here,” Patrick murmurs against David’s mouth, cupping his jaw and tilting his head just right for another kiss.
‘Here’ is, at least in the literal sense, Stevie’s apartment, while Stevie is off running through the woods with Jake. But David knows that’s not really what Patrick is talking about.
They have been going slow, at Patrick’s request. But ever since Stevie offered them her place for the night, there’s been an unspoken agreement that tonight things are likely to accelerate. As a result, ‘here’ probably means Patrick’s first orgasm with a guy, and David and Patrick’s first time together. No pressure.
And so we reach the end - a happy ending for David and Patrick, of course.
Chapter 15 is now up on A03 (and below); or go here and read from the beginning. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me and cheered me on, and all of you who read, kudos’d and commented - I appreciate you all!
Chapter 15 - Legally Rose
The next day David is scheduled to meet with Sparks at eight a.m. to tell him about Klair and work on a revised case strategy. Patrick knows how much it is going to pain David to go into Boston for his early morning meeting, so he offers to drive him. When David declines, citing his love for the subway (but really trying to hide his nerves), Patrick decides to meet him back at his apartment with a congratulatory coffee and croissant (and maybe a blow job - Patrick’s been eager to try it again).
When David still hasn’t shown up by lunchtime, and hasn’t responded to Patrick’s texts, he moves past concern and into action. Stevie says she saw him leaving the firm hours ago, and Jake reports that he wasn’t at his morning class. Patrick checks the law library, and the WCC, and even the sunken garden, with no luck.
When he bursts into Café Tropical and sees a familiar figure slouching in the back booth, he breathes a sigh of relief.
“Hey,” he says, fighting to keep his voice calm as David lifts his head, misery on his face. “What happened?”
