Henry leaned back into Will's embrace, closing his eyes and letting himself relax. He'd never felt this comfortable with anyone when he'd first met them -- and he'd never wanted anyone as much as he wanted Will. He'd never known this kind of desire before.

It almost scared him, feeling so utterly ready to throw caution to the winds and do anything that this man asked of him. If Will wanted to take him to bed tonight, right here and now, he would say yes. He knew that there was no way he could turn this man down.

He knew that they should take things slowly, that they had just met -- but he didn't want to move slowly. He wanted to drown himself in this man, to be with him in every possible way. He'd wanted that from the moment Will had first smile at him.

A thought struck him, startling him enough for his mind to slow down and focus on one thing. Was he only feeling like this because he was on the rebound? He'd only broken up with Jane that afternoon; maybe he was just desperately reaching out for anything to replace that relationship.

No. No, he wasn't on the rebound, he told himself firmly. If that was the case, he would have been attracted to a woman, not a man. This was nothing like his relationship with Jane; he wasn't trying to replace anything by being with Will. This was completely new and different.

He'd never even been with a man before, even though he had always been attracted to men. Oh, there had been a few guys who he'd fooled around with, but things had never gone further than a few blow jobs and a lot of kissing and touching. Nothing more.

He wanted more than that with Will -- much more. He couldn't say just why he was so attracted to this man, but something had clicked between them from the first smile, the first touch. And he wasn't going to walk away from that, or let things creep forward too slowly.

What could he do to move things forward a little more quickly? It wasn't like he could simply stand up and start stripping his clothes off, Henry told himself wryly. That would more than likely make Will want to back away and throw him out of his apartment.

He wanted to seduce Will -- and he wanted to be seduced himself. He wasn't exactly experienced with being the more aggressive partner when it came to seduction -- during his long relationship with Jane, she had almost always been the one to initiate any kind of intimacy.

But he wasn't with Jane any more, he told himself, his inner voice firm and strong. He was with Will now -- or, at least, he wanted to be with Will. And he was somehow sure that whatever they did tonight would set the future tone for whatever would happen between them.

Was there some way that he could seduce Will without making it seem like he was coming on too strong? He'd never been good at the seductive thing, even though more than few people told him that he was attractive. He had always felt too shy to make the first move.

He had never really done that with anyone, Henry reflected as Will's arms tightened around his waist. He had always let whoever he was with make the first move, and then he'd eitehr gone along with it if that was what he wanted, or he had pulled back and made some flippant excuse to stop.

This time, he was going to take matters into his own hands, he told himself. Will probably wasn't expecting it, but it was time that he went after what he wanted and stopped hanging back. He was starting a whole new life, and this was the first night of the new, improved Henry Martin.

"What are you thinking about?" Will whispered in his ear, his breath soft and warm against Henry's skin. "I'd give a lot to know what's going through that beautiful head of yours. Whatever thoughts you've got up there, I hope they're good ones. And I hope they're in my favor."

"Oh, they definitely are," Henry replied, his voice soft and a little breathless. "Both good and in your favor." He twisted in Will's arms, looking up at the other man with raised brows. "In fact, I was wondering just how I could seduce you and get things revved up a little bit."

"You .... you want to seduce me?" Will's eyes widened at Henry's words; his hold on Henry loosened enough for him to get up and turn around to face Will, tugging at the top button of his shirt as he did so, wondering if he should do a little bump and grind to enhance his actions.

No, that would be a little too much, he decided, undoing the next few buttons rapidly and pulling his shirt off. He tilted his head to the side, placing a hand on one hip and studying Will as the other man sat there staring up at him. "You like what you see?"

"I most definitely do." Will was smiling now, holding out both hands to him. "But I don't think this is you, Henry. You're not the kind of guy who wants to put on a show to seduce somebody. Besides, you don't have to. You've already won me over. I've fallen hook, line and sinker."

"Yeah?" Henry didn't know what else to say; Will's words made him feel a little deflated, as if a pin had just been driven into his ego -- but, on the other hand, he also felt a glow os satisfaction in knowing that Will had already fallen for him, with no apparent effort on his part.

He sat down beside Will, closing his eyes when the other man leaned forward to kiss him again. "I got this crazy idea all at once about seducing you," he whispered, feeling a little foolish now. "Too much too soon, I guess? Maybe we should just see where things go from here."

"I kind of liked what you were doing," Will murmured, a smile curving his lips. "I doubt we're going to end up in bed tonight, because I don't think either of us is ready to jump into a relationship that quickly. But I don't mind seeing a gorgeous man take his clothes off in front of me."

"You liked that, huh?" Henry grinned, seeing the possibilities in Will's words. They might not end up doing more than touching and kissing tonight, but Will wanted him. And more importantly, he wanted Will. His little gambit of seduction seemed to be working out very well.

Slowly, Henry got to his feet again, not taking his eyes off Will's face. With hands that trembled only slightly, he reached for his belt buckle, undoing it before Will could say a word, backing up a few stops so the other man couldn't reach out and touch him.

He'd never done anything like this before; he was uncertain of just how to strip in a way that would seduce someone, but he was going to do his best. At the very least, he'd give Will something to look at -- and he'd already said that he liked what he was seeing.

Slowly, he unzipped his jeans, starting to inch them over his hips, then down his thighs. Will's eyes were glued to him, wide with anticipation, and he could swear that the other man was breathing more heavily with each moment that went by.

Will desired him -- that was obvious. And even though this might seem like a rebound, Henry knew that he wanted Will, too -- but not just for tonight, or for a brief fling. He wanted Will forever, for the rest of their lives. It might be sudden, but he knew that it was right.

Within moments, he was standing naked in front of Will, watching the other man's reaction to seeing his body unclothed and au naturel. Will obviously liked what he saw; that light in his eyes couldn't be described as anything but a fierce desire.

"I'm not used to trying to seduce people," Henry whispered, his voice catching in his throat. "I'm not sure what to do next, so if you want to take over from here, it's cool with me." What he wanted was for Will to carry him down the hallways to his bedroom, though he didn't say that.

"You may not think you're good at seduction, but you had me from the second I looked into those eyes," Will said softly, reaching out a hand to Henry. "You didn't have to get naked to seduce me, Henry. You already ha me. But I sure do appreciate the gorgeous view."

Henry blushed at those words, shifting from one foot to the other, uncertain of where to go from here. "I think you might be a little overdressed for the occasion," he pointed out, hoping that Will would follow suit and lose his clothes, too. "What do you say to giving me a view, too?"

"I think I can manage that," Will said as he got to his feet, a soft laugh accompanying his words. "But only after I've taken the time to kiss you all over. You don't think I can look at you like this and not want to taste and touch what I'm seeing, do you?"

"Taste and touch all you want," Henry managed to whisper, his mouth going dry. It was really going to happen. Will was going to take him to bed. For just a second, he almost felt frightened, wondering what his game of seduction might have gotten him into. Had he bitten off more than he could chew?

No, he wanted this, he told himself. He wanted to go to bed with Will. Even if they didn't make love tonight, even if all they did was a lot of kissing and touching and exploring each other, it was a place to start. He was sure that more -- much more -- would come later.

"If you were seriously trying to seduce me, then you've done a really good job of it," Will murmured into his ear, his arms sliding around Henry's waist to pull him close. "I'm at your command, Henry. Whatever you want, I'll do it. All you've got to do is ask."

His game of seduction had worked out far better than he would have ever dreamed it could, Henry thought as he closed his eyes and lifted his face for Will's kiss. It felt like this was the beginning of the rest of his life, that he'd only just begun to live tonight when he'd met Will.

This was going to be the beginning of an amazing future for them, he told himself as Will took his hand and led him down the hall towards the bedroom. He didn't know what else was going to happen tonight, but whatever it was, he would welcome it with open arms and an open heart.
