CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
Jeremy stood back, watching as D bent over a large box that sat against the wall in the garage. His gaze traveled over his ass, up and down his legs, then back to his ass. He quietly walked over and gripped D's hips as he pressed his body up against him. His cock hardened at the contact. "You should know better than bending over in front of me." He rotated his hips as D pushed back against him.
"If you hadn't forgotten to close that garage door, I would gladly let you take me, but I'm trying to play nice with the neighbors." D moved his ass up and down, sliding it over Jeremy's thickening length.
"I'm just giving you a taste of what you'll get when you get home tonight." Jeremy wrapped his arms around D's body and pulled him up so his chest was to his back. He ran his lips over his neck. "I'll be glad when the others are fully trained so you aren't going on all the stings with them."
Patrick had been going out for almost two weeks now with D, and it would be another three weeks before Jessica got her cast off and could start her training back up. It made for a lot of long nights for D, and Jeremy couldn't wait until D didn't have to go out all the time.
"I know, but honestly, once they are trained, we'll increase the number of stings we are doing, so I'll still be out a lot." He arched his neck and turned his head, capturing Jeremy's mouth with his own.
Jeremy kissed him hard, somehow managing to turn D at the same time so they were facing each other. He smiled into the kiss as D's cock brushed against his own. He slid his hands down, gripping his hips, holding him close. "What were you looking for?"
"I was just reorganizing. I thought I might buy some tools and keep them here, then maybe buy some old car to fix up in our free time." D cupped his ass, pulling him closer.
Jeremy groaned in pleasure as they slowly danced, moving their hips together. "I don't know anything about cars. You'll have to teach me."
D grinned. "You just lean over under the hood and let me do all the work from there."
Jeremy laughed. "Funny how automotive repair never sounded interesting until now."
"I can make anything interesting for you." D nipped his lip. "Everything okay inside? How's Marshall doing?"
"He's amazing. I've never met anyone so focused. He gets hold of one picture and in an hour, he has a file filled with evidence. I've never seen someone so determined. It's nice. It gives me a chance to focus more on security and making sure the sites are ready for you guys to go in." Jeremy slid his hand up into D's hair, tangling his fingers in it. He liked how long it was getting. "Jessica is doing good too. She's able to chat and draw people in well. She's slowly creating a profile as a lesbian looking for young girls. I was worried it might be too much for her, but she's been okay."
D smiled. "We've created an amazing team. I was so nervous when I heard what we were supposed to do, but we did it. We're up and running and making a difference. I couldn't have done this without you."
"You could have, but I'm glad we got to do it together. I never dreamed I'd be part of something like this, but honestly, even though I'm pretty much a wanted man, and I had to change my identity, I have never been happier with my life. Colorado, the team, but mostly you have changed my life. There's nowhere I'd rather be." Jeremy took a step back, needing to put space between them before he ripped D's clothes off. "I have regrets in my past, but in the end, it all brought me here, and here is more amazing so far than any part of my past has been." He stared at D, feeling emotions stir that he tried to keep down. He didn't want to take things too fast, but man, D had him in knots half of the time. He'd thought he got along with his ex, but the truth was, they had nothing in common. With D, it was the perfect mix of shared interests and differences.
"I miss being where I was, but being here has been a hell of a lot easier because of you. In a perfect world, I could have a mix of both, but I'm glad this brought us together. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be in a relationship and falling in love with someone, I would have laughed. That wasn't who I was. Wasn't what I thought I wanted. You've shown me that I can be happy with one person. I can let someone get close without hurting them or having them hurt me." D shoved his hands into his pockets. "Fuck, look at me getting all serious."
Jeremy laughed. "It happens from time to time. I won't tell anyone."
"I've changed since I've been here. I never wanted responsibility. I was happy doing my job, hitting the clubs, going through the motions. I was scared to death to come here. I thought Bryon was nuts putting me in charge of a new team. He must have seen something I didn't, or maybe he knew you would tame me, but coming here has been the best thing for me. You've been the best thing for me. I hate my new identity, and miss my old, but I love my new life." D smiled. "I love you."
Jeremy's chest tightened. Hearing that was the last thing he expected. They'd grown closer over the last few weeks. Ever since D had really opened up to him. The shift in their relationship was obvious to him, but he hadn't been sure D had felt it too. He stepped closer, closing the distance between them and brought his hands up to cup D's face. "I love you too."
D smiled, looking almost shy.
Jeremy wasn't about to let the moment get uncomfortable. He dipped his head, kissing D softly, teasing his mouth with his own, distracting him from overthinking what they'd just admitted to each other.
It was the sound of a car pulling up outside the garage that had them pulling apart. Jeremy softly caressed D's cheeks as he dropped his hands and stepped back. "You expecting anyone?"
"No, but it could be Jessica, though I think she should still be at work." D headed toward the open garage door to look out. "Holy shit." D smiled. "What are you doing here?"
Jeremy followed him out, seeing a muscular tattooed man walking toward them, but he was quickly overtaken by a young woman who ran straight at D.
"Faith." D opened his arms as she hit his body hard, wrapping her arms around him.
"Dys," she said as she buried her head against his chest.
Hearing Faith's name gave away exactly who the people were and why they had the address to the team house. It had to be D's best friend Xander from his old team. A smaller man climbed out of the car and walked closer. He ignored D, Faith, and Xander, and walked over to him. "I'm Matt. That's my husband, Xander, and our daughter, Faith." He nodded to D as Xander hugged him.
"Jeremy." He offered his hand.
"Hope it's okay we showed up without calling. Xander didn't want Dys to know." Matt smiled when Faith walked over to them as Xander and D fell into conversation.
"Actually, the surprise visit came at a really good time. I know he's missed you guys a lot. He talks about you all the time." Jeremy watched as D and Xander laughed about something. "Especially you, Ms. Doctor." He smiled at Faith. "He's very proud of you."
