There was just this uncertainty Geoff sensed when he felt Dayton's kiss press deeply into the corner of his mouth. He must have been dreaming. This was unexpected... out of nowhere when he got home.

"What is going on with you?" Geoff couldn't help but smile as Dayton smoothed the whiskers down his face. "Are you on something." Dayton was already undressing him in the bedroom.

"I just missed you, you know. Us." Dayton kept his eye on him. As warm and tender as this felt at the moment, Geoff took Dayton's hand before he reached for what was in his pants.

"Hey..just..just slow down." Sure it was thrilling and mesmerizing, but they just couldn't-

"I don't want to." Dayton tensed.

"Are you all right?" Geoff watched as if he didn't know if this was for real or just a way to not face what was really going on. "Are you going to tell me what you did or not?"

Dayton took a step back to do his tantrum, turning away from him as if Geoff put him pure agony. "Why do you say things like that! Why! I didn't, do anything!"

"Well, it feels like it." Geoff buttoned up his shirt. Yes, he'd spoiled the moment. It was three in the afternoon. "Where's Nancy?"

"Buying groceries or something." Dayton still wouldn't look at him. There were possibly tears in Dayton's winced eyes. He hugged himself as if he were in some sort of pain. "How in the hell should I know! She never tells me, anything."

"I'm sorry." Geoff supposed he'd over reacted. He should have just went with it. Thrown caution to the wind. It had been awhile since afternoon sex. He reached for Dayton. He wouldn't dare say, lets start over. It was best to rekindle what he could before it was too late. He pulled Dayton back. "God, just don't ever think for a minute you're not sexy..because, you are."

Geoff tugged Dayton's shirt off of him. Finally, Dayton unbuttoned Geoff's shirt again. He felt Dayton's fingers on his chest now and as they kissed more, nothing else mattered. Not the thunder storm brewing or the car-door slamming too. Yeah, this was definitely a moment worth keeping. Whatever it was that started this in motion, Geoff was glad it had happened.
