A Time For No Words
by Jools

PART 1

"No, don't turn on the light," whispered a voice in the darkness as Darren stepped across the threshold of his hotel room. Immediately his heart started racing. *Oh, so it's going to be one of those nights*. He could feel both excitement and anxiety swelling through his body, tightening around his chest and stealing his breath. His hand dropped from the light switch and fell loosely at his side. "Take it all off," said the voice again. Darren picked up the direction this time and knew Daniel was seated in the chair beside the far wall.

"I-I'm tired," Darren stammered, the conflict of pleasure and heartache forcing him to speak out.

"Did I say speak?" The voice was aggressive. "Off!"
It was less fierce but still totally dominant.

*Fuck off!* Darren's mind screamed. *I don't wanna play this fucking game anymore!* Yet his body and soul screamed with his need for intimacy with Daniel. Any intimacy. He lowered his eyes and crossed his arms, grabbing at the hem of his T-shirt, uncrossing them as he pulled the garment over his head in one fluid movement. He clutched it two-handedly in front of him for perhaps 10 seconds before casually tossing it aside.

"All of it." Dan's voice whispered hoarsely in the blackness.

Kicking off his shoes Darren began fumbling with the buttons of his jeans.
He could hear Daniel's breathing now through an atmosphere so thick no sounds from the city outside could penetrate it.

The last button shakily displaced, Darren slid both jeans and boxers down together and stepped out of them, kicking the discarded clothing away.

There was silence for many moments. Darren knew Daniel was exploring his nakedness with his eyes, perhaps settling on his lips, the gentle swell of his stomach, his semi-erect penis which was struggling against Darren's apprehension into life.

His eyes more accustomed to the darkness now, he looked over towards Daniel, who sat on the chair, one leg over the arm, gently caressing himself through the confinement of his clothes. Their eyes locked for a second, long enough to recognize both desire and shame in the other's eyes. Daniel wanting Darren so much but irreconcilable to the fact Darren was a guy. Darren needing Daniel but aware of the degradation he would go through to get him.

"Don't look at me," Daniel hissed quickly, turning his face for just a second to break eye contact. Darren dropped his gaze immediately, knowing the pain recognition caused him.

Turning his face back, Daniel continued to visually explore Darren, whose eyes were now safely averted. He studied his strong chest, his toned stomach, those thick thighs, the full mouth, his swelling cock. *Oh God*. He had never wanted so much to touch someone-to be inside someone.
Closing his eyes, he pictured Darren looking into his face, beautiful blue eyes smiling, lips innocently moist. Slowly Daniel unzipped his pants, allowing his erection to almost burst out from the opening material, taking it into his hand.

Darren heard the zipper go in the stillness of the room. He knew Daniel was holding himself, maybe pulling a little as he continued to stare. Darren's mind raced. On the one hand he wanted to rush over and take Daniel in his hand and force his lips apart with his tongue. He also wanted to curl himself up into a ball and lock out Daniel's eyes. Too long now, he had been on display too long.

"In front of me, on your knees," Daniel ordered.
Couldn't he just say his name, just once, so Darren could be filled with the belief he was more than just meat? Darren knew, however, that he loved Daniel so desperately, so completely he would have gladly have pitched himself straight through the window if he thought Daniel needed that from him.

He hadn't even realized he was moving until he found himself kneeling before Daniel, careful to keep his gaze down knowing that eye contact at such close quarters might destroy him.

"Do it." Again a hoarse whisper, passion so full in his throat that Daniel spoke in a voice not belonging to him...

Darren didn't need any further encouragement. He wanted to taste Daniel, to feel him. Casually he pushed Daniel's hand aside and clasped his cock in his hand. Huge and hot, already close to bursting just at the sight, the closeness of Darren. Daniel gasped as Darren flicked his tongue over the opening, lapping up the fluids weeping out in Daniel's advanced state of arousal. Daniel moaned and grabbed hold of Darren's head, throwing his own back as Darren gently worked his shaft with his hand and tongue.

*You taste so sweet,* Darren mused as his tongue trailed the underside of Daniel's twitching shaft before taking one of his balls into his mouth and gently jiggling it with his tongue, sucking gently at the same time.

"Oh God, yessss," Daniel moaned again. It was almost

impossible to take in air now.

Darren continued to trail his tongue up and down Daniel's shaft, teasing his balls with his hand gently placing his lips around the head of Daniel's cock, promising much, then trailing away again, whipping Daniel up till he could take no more. Daniel began pressing himself against Darren's mouth needing to be inside.

"Oh, my God," Daniel almost yelled now as Darren took him deep into his mouth, swallowing him whole, all the way down to the back of his throat, muscles constricting around Daniel's cock, enveloping it in heat and moisture. Then as quickly as he had been engulfed he felt Darren withdraw almost all the way out, so just the head was left in his warm mouth, allowing his tongue the space to taste and tease once more.

Daniel was too far along for teasing. He pushed himself a little deeper into Darren. He knew what Daniel wanted and began moving Daniel back and forward in his mouth varying the strength of the suction bringing Daniel ever closer.

As Daniel felt himself nearing the edge he could no longer fight the urge to fuck Darren's mouth and began thrusting down his throat, pulling his head back and forward to meet his movement. In seconds Darren felt the first violent spasms coming from Daniel's cock as he heard the blond man almost roar out a satisfied groan.

*mmmm*, Darren purred greedily swallowing as much as he could, not wanting to waste a drop of Daniel's passion for him.

Daniel was gasping loudly now, fighting to draw in much needed oxygen. He pushed Darren away gently and flopped back in the chair. Darren stood and made his way to the wall beside the door, leaning his hands flat against it either side in line with his shoulder, slightly parting his legs in a blatant offer to Daniel. He knew the drill, they had done this so many times now and Darren wanted Daniel inside him.

Daniel groaned again and his hand went back to his still partly aroused cock, stoking it fiercely, getting it ready again. He hated the fact that Darren knew what to do without being asked, made it all seem more real, like it wasn't an abomination, a one off. He knew that it was something Daniel needed and had had many times before.

Darren heard Daniel stand and move towards the bedside table. The slide of the drawer as Darren pictured Daniel reach for the lube. He pictured Daniel smearing the cold goo on his thick shaft, coating it for easy passage.

*No, I won't hurt you.* Daniel spoke only in his mind now. He wanted to plunge deep into Darren, sod the preparation, but he knew this hurt Darren emotionally, he didn't want to add to that with physical pain.

He was behind Darren now, close, breathing in deeply his nostrils were filled with his cologne and the almost palpable scent of their arousal. He saw Darren's breaths were short, sharp, anticipating. Placing a foot between his knees he kicked lightly at his ankles, forcing his legs wider. Bending his knees between Darren's legs he positioned himself against his rim.

"Yess," Darren moaned softly, wanting Daniel inside him so desperately he forgot himself.

"Sshhhhh," Daniel whispered back softly, no hint of a command this time, just a request.

In one swift movement Daniel buried himself inside Darren to the hilt, taking his weight on his strong thighs as he almost lifted the other man off his feet. He could feel Darren trembling as he leaned back against him till they were moulded together.

Darren continued to gasp and tremble as he fought to get past the initial searing pain and feel only the total pleasure of his Daniel connected with him, both inside and out.

As if Daniel knew the pain was subsiding he began working up a gentle rhythm inside him, placing his hands above Darren's, intertwining their fingers. Darren threw his head back now as Daniel began caressing his neck and shoulder with his tongue and lips, gently sucking, tongue trailing even daring to bite softly.

Darren wanted Daniel to glove his twitching erection in his hand, but he knew Daniel couldn't do that. Releasing his left hand from Daniel's, he cloaked it around his own cock working it in time to Daniel's stroke.

"Oh yes," Daniel breathed into Darren's ear, increasing the pace and ferocity of his thrusts, fuelled by this new excitement, banging his hips against Darren as he moaned. Before he knew what he was doing he had hold of Darren's hair with his free hand, pulling his head back and to the side so he could gain access to his beautiful full lips. He plundered against them, his tongue forcing its way in to meet with Darren's. Darren gasped into the kiss. *Oh God, to taste Daniel, so sweet and warm and wet*. He sucked the blonde's tongue as he had his shaft only minutes ago. It was Daniel's turn to gasp. He let go of Darren's hair and placed it above his hand on Darren's cock again, increasing his rhythm and directing Darren's hand to do the same.

Daniel broke the kiss first, throwing his head back as he exploded into Darren, wave after wave filling him and spilling out down his thighs. Darren pushed his hips back further into Daniel as he too reached his climax, covering both hands and spraying against the wall.

And then it was over and Daniel was out of Darren-away from him-on the other side of the room, fumbling to straighten himself up. Darren leaned his head against his arm, knowing they would share no more tonight. He felt the tears well up in his eyes and struggled to blink them back down. It had been different tonight. Daniel had kissed him, touched him but Darren still wanted so much to hold Daniel in his arms now, to caress and be caressed, to whisper the words of love he so longed to share.

He heard the door open, saw the light from the hallway on the floor where his vision was fixed. But the light didn't disappear, the door didn't close.

Finally Darren looked up. His eyes again met with Daniel's and he saw a single tear slip out of Daniel's eye and down his cheek.

"I-I," stuttered Daniel, frightened of what he wanted to say but needing to say it none-the-less. "I love you, Darren." He stated it simply, removing all Darren's pain and filling his heart with joy. And then he was gone.

Crossing his arms over his chest Darren hugged himself. Daniel had finally been able to admit it. Darren was going to make sure that next time they played by his rules.
