they were when this happens. His visions weren’t always clear. They didn’t come with a date stamp. He had no way of knowing when something would come to be. Most times it was something happening at that moment. But Hawk could safely say that what he saw of him and Pierce was not happening right now. Pierce was not in love with him. Quite the contrary. He was fighting his attraction to him tooth and nail. Hawk usually took an aggressive and dominant approach with Pierce. Using his brawn to pin the small man under him, keeping him immobile and helpless. But after his conversation with his almost-hook-up, he was going with a different tactic. Hawk stepped in close to Pierce but was very careful not to touch him. He could smell Pierce’s clean scent, could feel his heat. Hawk’s body was responding. His hands burned to reach out and grip Pierce’s narrow waist and pull him flush against him. He fought it. Closed his eyes and breathed deep. Quick flashes came across his closed lids like panoramic pictures, blending into one image. Pierce’s face, smiling up at him. His hand reaching up slowly and tenderly tucking a loose strand of Hawk’s hair behind his ear. He welcomed the visualization. Tried to decipher when and where, but just as fast as the images came… they were gone. He shoulders dropped and he slowly opened his eyes to see Pierce staring at him. Not with love, but with concern. Well, that was a start. “Are you okay?” Pierce said calmly. “Yes, I am. Or I will be.” Hawk looked down at Pierce and let the man see him. Really see him. See his sincerity. See his honesty. See his love. Pierce opened his mouth to say something and then closed it. Hawk waited, looking at that pretty mouth. Mesmerized. Plump light pink lips that he could probably kiss all night long if he ever got the chance. An image of him leaning in and tasting Pierce flashed fast in front of him and it made him suck in a sharp breath. Fuck . “Hawk. Are you seeing something right now? Looking at me,” Pierce whispered. Hawk just nodded his head, 'yes'. His visions were really doing a number on him. He had no idea if he was supposed to try to kiss Pierce right now or if that was a premonition of something that would happen later. “Of what?” Pierce was so close his breath was ghosting over his chin. “Do you see something bad?” Pierce had never asked him about his visions before. He’d actually doubted them for a while. Now he sounded so concerned, it was warming Hawk’s spirit… calming him. “Hawk. What do you see, looking at me?” “I see this.” Hawk carefully palmed Pierce’s cheek and tilted his head up higher. Their significant height difference still required Hawk to have to lean down to meet Pierce’s mouth. He paused right before he pressed their lips together, just in case Pierce wanted to stop him. Pierce was blowing shallow panting breaths into his mouth. His eyes were hooded. No resistance. Hawk stepped in closer at the same time he slanted his mouth over Pierce’s for the first time. Oh God, those lips were just as sweet and soft as he’d imagined. Hawk stooped down and wrapped his arms around Pierce’s waist pulling him in close but not being too forceful. Hawk rubbed slow, gentle circles on Pierce’s back, trying to show him he wasn’t going to overpower him. He could tell Pierce was a little stunned but Hawk felt him relax against him. Oh my god. You feel perfect in my arms, baby. Hawk felt Pierce rise up on his toes and wrap his arms around Hawk’s neck. Hawk’s tongue shyly played against the seam of Pierce’s mouth before he finally parted his lips enough for Hawk to slide in. Pierce moaned so softly into his mouth Hawk had to fight the urge to throw Pierce down on the bed and have his way with him. He didn’t want to, but he pulled back from the kiss and Pierce followed his mouth. Hawk smiled at Pierce’s eagerness. Finally. He wasn’t going to let Pierce retreat now. Hawk gave him a
