[Darryn tried to focus as much on Gabe's words as his lips moving across his skin. Guilt wormed so deeply into him when Gabe talked about being willing to give things up for him. He didn't want Gabe to have to give up anything. Nor did he want to damage his family, his husband and his children.

[Yet here he was. He had known all that was on the line and here he was regardless. Apparently something in him was willing to give it up too.

[He took a deep breath, brushing his fingers through Gabe's hair, stroking them down across his jawline.] //We're both being crazy; but Gabe I can't not. When I'm near you its like fire, it totally takes me over and consumes me.//

//I've tried not to think of you. I've tried not to come back. I've tried to ignore this hole in me that feels filled when I'm near you.// [He slowly ran his fingers down Gabe's neck, holding them near enough that he could feel the man's pulse.] //Its not worked. And it doesn't make sense, I didn't even fall for my husband this fast or deep...//

[He smiled, a little weak and tight with emotion.] //Part of me thinks if we just... give in, maybe it'll go away as fast as it came on. That its not a sustainable flame.//
