Thing---COMPLETE---

So this was actually completely different from what I had originally planned to happen, but hey I think it works. Things are going to start rolling now. Daniel is being blackmailed my Anita, Antonio knows what he looks like and still has men on the outside and James is in turmoil over what he and Daniel are...

Thanks to those to rate read and review I love you all!!!!

Once this story is over I've got an idea for another...not sure how it's going to pan out yet but expect it to be released soon...



James stood from the couch, his gaze meeting Daniel’s briefly before he closed and locked himself in their bedroom. Daniel sighed as Anita looked at him, her mouth agape.

“You can’t be serious. He’s a child.”

Daniel furrowed his brow at her.

“He’s eighteen, a legal adult. And I am very serious.”

Anita swallowed and shook her head at him.

“You always have to be different don’t you, always you have to be difficult. So where did you pick him up from?”

She moved around him and sat on the couch; seemingly uncaring that James was in the other room. Daniel followed but didn’t sit.

“He’s a troubled kid; I can’t tell you anything more.”

Her eyes grew wide, a small smile pulling at her lips.

“You’re part of that bust aren’t you? He’s one of those kids, the ones sold for sex.”

Daniel’s jaw clenched before he could stop himself as her smile widened.

“You know Danny, for a cop you sure have a problem controlling yourself. I think I want to go out for dinner tomorrow night.”

Daniel gave her a confused look.

“Take me out someplace nice.”

Daniel shook his head at her, her smile fading.

“I can’t leave him alone, and I’m not bringing him out to some stupid restaurant that charges too much for a tiny plate of food. I think you should leave.”

Daniel went to the door and opened it for her, she didn’t move, her voice took on a warning note.

“I don’t think you want me to go Danny. I think if you want me to keep my mouth shut you’ll take me out tomorrow.”

Daniel’s gaze was dark.

“What makes you think James and I are a secret?”

Anita smiled and glided to the door.

“Because if the department knew I think that boy would be out of your reach, and you would be out of a job. I want a kiss Danny.”

Daniel didn’t move.

“Alright then.”

Daniel caught her arm before she could make it out the door pulling her close, his eyes cold. She smiled warmly at him as he lightly kissed her lips. When he pulled away she was frowning.

“I don’t think you meant that.”

Daniel clenched his jaw before pulling her close to him, kissing her deeply until he felt her go soft in his arms; he pulled away and refused to meet her gaze.

“I’ll be here at seven tomorrow, bye Danny.”

He closed the door behind her and wiped her taste away from his lips as he stared at his closed bedroom. He put his hand on the handle, it was still locked. He sighed and went to the couch.


James moved away from the door, tears spilling down his cheeks. Daniel was going on a date with that woman, he had kissed her, and he had called him his lover. He went to the bed and buried himself in the sheets. Daniel was using him; Antonio had called him the same thing. He was a lover, he was something for Daniel to fuck, Anita was what he really wanted. Sleep took him as he cried.


Daniel held the plate in his hand before the door, wondering if James would open up for a sandwich. He was sure the boy had heard what had happened. He had left him alone all morning but now it was almost two, he had to be hungry. He lightly knocked on the door.

“James, are you hungry? I made you a sandwich.”

No answer.

“James please, we have to talk about this.”

Movement but no sound.

“James.”

“Go away.”

Daniel sighed.

“I’m not going away. Come out here or let me in.”

“No, I don’t want to be here anymore.”

Daniel rested his forehead against the wood, wishing it was the boy’s shoulder instead.

“James, I don’t want you to go, I like having you here.”

“So you can use me?”

Daniel lifted his head, alarm shooting down his spine.

“I know what you’re doing. Leave me alone, I don’t want to stay here with you anymore.”


James was shaking as he yelled from the bed. It was a lie, it was all a lie, and his body was trying to retaliate. He felt sick, his words spilling out before he could stop them. He wanted to stay with Daniel, but if he was going to use him like Antonio had then he couldn’t bare it. He couldn’t stand being second best to Anita, not when he wanted Daniel all to himself. If he left then maybe, maybe then he could learn to be a person again. Daniel’s hand slid down the door, catching James attention. His words were barely audible through the door.

“James…I love you.”

“SHUT UP!”

James’ whole body was shaking violently as he covered his ears. He couldn’t hear those words; he had to run away from it, he had to run from this kindness before it consumed him. If he let himself to go Daniel he would be destroyed.

“I can’t, I love you James.”

He buried himself in the covers, pressing his hands to his ears as he desperately tried to blot out his words.

“No! You can’t! It’s not fair!”

Daniel laughed sadly.

“You’re right, it isn’t fair. It isn’t fair for me to have to say these things through a door when I want you under my hands.”

“Stop it!”

Daniel kicked open the door as it banged loudly against the wall. James shot up on the bed, his hands still clutching his ears, tears rolling down his cheeks. James couldn’t remember the last time he had seen something so beautiful. Daniel threw off his shirt as he crossed the room, pinning James down before he could get away. He turned his head to the side, unwilling to meet his gaze as Daniel kissed his exposed neck. The boy shuddered beneath him.

“I don’t know how this happened but I love you.”

James tried to free his wrists to no avail.

“No matter what I have to do, what I have to say, I love you. I’ll do anything to keep you here so long as you are willing to stay with me. Please James, don’t go.”

He sank down against the boy, his hands letting his wrists free as he wrapped his arms around him. James relaxed.

“I don’t know what this means, I don’t know what to do.”

Daniel smiled, his teeth grazing the boy’s neck and shoulder before he latched on. James hissed from the mild pain but didn’t struggle. Daniel marked him, just as James had marked him.

“Anita will come tomorrow; I have to go with her so that you can stay with me. Promise me that you’ll still be here when I come back.”

James nodded and lightly kissed his lips.

“Whatever will make you happy.”

Daniel relaxed and sighed against his skin.



Ok so Anita is a complete bitch....R&R expect another update sometime tomorrow evening...
