With Cavendish strewn across the bedspread in front of him, Dakota couldn’t help but think back to all the other Dakotas on the island. A fleeting thought really. In reality, he was far too excited to dwell on it. Finally having a chance to be with Cavendish was nearly more than he could handle. Trying to return his attention back to the half-dressed man in front of him. Ever eager to feel him, Dakota drew in a deep breath attempting to clear his head of anything that would impede their moment. Jumping haphazardly to join Cavendish on the bed, caging him within his tangled limbs. Locking eyes with his companion. Bringing his head down toward Cavendish’s taking at the moment, savoring it. Admiring him for all that he is. Using all his senses. Feeling a wave of indescribable emotion flow over him. Facing warming, eyes welling with tears he felt himself wincing, unable to remain composed.
Alerted to a probable issue, Cavendish recoiled fearing the worst. Searching for solace in his expression. Opening his mouth to comfort Vinnie, Offering his understanding.
Dakota seized the opportunity, grasping for Cavendish feverishly. Embracing him with ardor. Desperately caressing him, afraid of nothing more than losing him. Of losing this. His own mortality overcame him at the absolute worst time.
Cavendish offers his consolation, still unsure of what has overcome Vinnie. Prying himself from Dakota wanting to comfort him as well as resolve the issue. Once again beginning to question his actions though this time successfully.
“ Vinnie.. Whatever is the matter, my love?”
To which at the moment Dakota could only respond with a sob muffled in Cavendish’s chest. Once again his mind wandered away thinking of all the times he had been unsuccessful in keeping the man he loved safe. Thinking of all the others that would never get to experience this. All of him. They all loved him the same. It was quite disheartening. But there was little reason to waste such a wonderful opportunity.
Picking himself up again meeting Cavendish’s icy blue eyes brought additional emotions to the surface as he found his words.. “ I.. I just love you so much.” Jaw clenched, still distressed he could only wait.
“Is that all?” Cavendish asks playfully, raising an eyebrow. “Why don’t you show me just how much?” Leading Vinnie back down into the bed.
Dakota promptly followed, eager to please. He may feel bad for all the other Dakotas but god was he glad it was him that got to do this.
