Need simmered under each touch, but he didn't want to rush things, either. He slid one hand down Alex's back, then back up his spine, then down again to tease along his waistband.

"So do you," he managed. "I..." He didn't know what he wanted to say. I want you. I love you. I need you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I never want to let you go.

Alex's mouth hit a particularly pleasant spot, getting him a low groan out of Michael.
