[ETHAN DEXTER HILL]

Ethan chuckled softly, and nodded, he wasn't that old that was true, and he definitely didn't feel it. He felt like a randy teenager all over again. He licked his lips, leaning onto Ken's side, staying close. Ken pulled Ethan back in for another kiss, and Ethan more than willingly obliged, humming softly as his fingers went into his hair, Ethan liked it when people played with his hair.

When Ken nibbled on his lip, he opened his mouth for him. He couldn't believe just how great Ken's lips tasted, and he protested quietly as Ken pulled back. He'd never been the begging type, and here he was protesting over an ended kiss.

"Mm, 'm sorry" he murmured to Ken, but that was a lie, because he wasn't a bit sorry. He rested his hand lightly on Ken's hip, "Suppose I can't help it" he said with a shrug of his shoulders and the upturn of his lips. "Why'd you stop then?" he asked, pouting at him. "You know, I sure as hell didn't expect this to happen, but I'm glad it did" he smiled shyly, then pressed his lips to Ken's once more, lingering longer this time, when he stopped, he rested his forehead against Ken's.

[KENNEDY DAVID MILLER]

Ken laughed at Ethan's apology. "I never said that was a problem," he teased back, pulling lightly at Ethan's hair, loving the feeling of his fingers in his. Ken chuckled at Ethan's pout, thinking it was one of the cutest things he'd ever seen. His following comment about not expecting this to happen made Ken and he admitted, "I hoped it would happen."

And then they were kissing again.

Ken wasn't going to let it end this time and when Ethan pulled away, Ken came back for more, eventually pushing Ethan down to a lying position on the couch, Ken leaning over him with a satisfied smirk. Ken liked the position of authority, plus he liked being on top but that was a detail he'd leave for later. Ken walked his fingers over Ethan's abs, wishing he could just take the shirt off.

"I doubt Darth Vader would mind if we got him out of the way...?" Ken said as a roundabout way of asking to remove the guy's shirt. This was going much better than he'd anticipated. He couldn't wait to tell Hadley. Oh how he'd missed someone to have girl talk with!

[ETHAN DEXTER HILL]

Ethan grinned widely "Good' he said with a simple nod. He purred as Ken pulled at his hair. "I hope this lives up to your hopes then" he said, looking at Ken from under his eyelashes. Ethan was thoroughly enjoying himself, and he was sure that Ken was too, he stared at Ken, and smiled.  

Ethan allowed himself to be pushed back, happy to be underneath Ken as long as Ken kept kissing him. His arms wrapped around Ken's shoulders, his fingers reaching up to fiddle with the hair at the nape of his neck. He leant up into the kissing, craning his neck upwards. His senses went on high alert as Ken's fingers moved over his abs and he had to lick his lips again.

"I don't think he'd care at all" Ethan grinned and let his arms drop so that he could grab the hem of his shirt and work it off. He let the shirt fall to the floor, and had a few self concious moments, but brushed the thoughts away, replacing them instead with images of Ken. They were certainly missing the movie now but Ethan couldnt care. His fingers moved to hover over the hem of Ken's shirt. 

"Can I?" He asked, looking for permission to remove Ken's shirt. It might have been winter outside, but the room felt hot, though that may have been from the close proximity to Ken. Not that that was a bad thing.

[KENNEDY DAVID MILLER]

Ken watched eagerly as Ethan removed his shirt. His chest was firm, well tones, with just a hint of chest hair curling up from his sternum. Ken couldn't be sure he wasn't dreaming and he grinned as he ran his hands over the man's soft skin. The feeling of brawn was so incredible, like marble, so soft and yet so hard, sinewy and fabulous. At Ethan's request, Ken quickly wiggled out of his tank top, revealing his naked chest. Ken grinned, anticipating the sensation of skin against skin.

Ken had to restrain the desire to just rid Ethan of all his clothes, as that would be a bit much at this moment, right? Ken settled for scooting down and kissing over Ethan's chest, kissing, licking, nipping gently at his nipples playfully. Ken had no idea what his neighbor liked, except him of course.

Ken kissed Ethan's lips again, his hands moving over Ethan's chest, figuring he should leave off below the belt until Ethan made a move for it. Ken could feel himself getting rather turned on, but maybe sex was not where Ethan was doing tonight. Ken liked him enough not to mind either ay. Though he'd potentially need to help himself later if this didn't come full circle.

Ken sucked lightly on Ethan's lower lip before saying, "I'm so lucky you live down the hall." he chuckled.

[ETHAN DEXTER HILL]

Ethan couldn't help but lean up into Ken's touch, his eyes followed the t-shirt as Ken rid himself of it, and Ethan's eyes watched as the material fell to the floor, along side his, before allowing himself to stare, almost in awe at Ken's muscled chest. His fingers reached up and caressed the now bared skin. His hands mimicked Ken's earlier touch, running up and down his chest. He smiled up at Ken, liking having the company, that wasn't just... friendly.

As Ken's lips touched to his chest, Ethan took in a sharp intake of breath. His back arched at Ken's touch, reacting positively. He shifted beneath Ken, his hips jutting up slightly. His hands moved to Ken's back, nails lightly scraping over the skin, up and down, before he settled his hands on Ken's hips.

Ethan kissed Ken back, lips moving in unison with Ken's. He paused for a minute before his fingers moved to trace the V shape that led to the elastic of Ken's pj bottoms, his fingers skirted across and over the material.

"You really are" Ethan chuckled, "and vice versa, well you live up the hall to me, but... you know what I'm trying to say" he added, cutting himself off before he started to ramble.

[KENNEDY DAVID MILLER]

Technically, 'up the hall' was the same as 'down the hall' except no one really said 'up the hall'. Ken was tempted briefly to point this out, but the matter at hand was much more important. "Semantics." he said with a chuckled, going in for another kiss, letting their bare chests graze together. The feeling of skin on skin was amazing and ken relished the sensation, bucking his lips to Ethan's lightly as the man's fingers traced the muscular lines that pointed like an arrow to his growing affection.

Ken was fine with him moving under his waistband, but he didn't want to seem too easy or anything. Though, a night of passion was long over due in Ken's life. His last boyfriend had been too long ago. He pressed his crotch gently into Ethan's leg, letting him feel the effect he was having on Ken, while simultaneously brushing his own leg between Ethan's to see if he was doing the same.

Ken loved making out, it was one of his top favorite things; among sex and shopping. It might be the best thing out of those actually. He didn't stop to think about it and kissed Ethan's neck tenderly, but fervently. "God you're hot." He breathed, chuckling softly. He'd hoped something like this would happen, and he couldn't be more pleased at how well it was working out.

[ETHAN DEXTER HILL]

Ethan grinned at Ken and stopped tracing Ken's skin with one hand, his now free hand tangled into Ken's soft hair, he kept his fingers just along the waistband, his thumb rubbing gently rubbing circles as he moved it along. He eagerly kissed back, his lips had to be slightly puffy and red from all the kissing by now, but Ethan couldnt care less. What he did care about was focusing on the feeling of Kens bare chest against his and trying to commit it to memory. His fingers ghosted back over Ken's chest, with such a light touch, that the soft tips of his fingers just grazed over the skin. 

Ethan couldn't hep but smile widely when he felt Ken's crotch press into his leg, he licked his lips, and pushed his hips up into Kens leg that had made its way between his, showing Ken that he was having just the same effect on him as he apparently had on Ken. Ethan was totally into Ken and there was utterly no denying it, though he wouldn't have done so anyway. Not now. 

He held onto Ken's hips again, his fingers caressing the skin beneath them and then very gingerly, he hooked his thumb under the waistband, and made another set of circles on the skin just beneath the waistband, testing how far Ken would let him go. 

It had been a little over a year since he'd had a proper relationship and not just a drunken fling, so Ethan was trying to recall the protocol for such relationships, just how fast you were suppose to go... Though they weren't exactly in a relationship yet, but Ethan assumed that was where this was heading. He'd be majorly upset if it wasnt. But his lust addled brain wouldn't let him think for too long on it, he conceded that it depended on the person you were with and instead focused on the kiss to his neck, he leaned his head away slightly, to reveal his neck and mumbled a thank you to Ken, his cheeks heating up at the compliment, "I'm pretty sure you are hotter" he told him, moving one of his hands to trace the lines of Ken's muscles, he tilted his head up and pecked Ken on the lips softly.

[KENNEDY DAVID MILLER]

Ken grinned at Ethan between the kisses. His brain was starting to fog with lust, especially after Ethan's hips bucked up to press himself against him. Ken slipped a under Ethan's and squeezed his butt lightly, his lips busy on his lips. Ethan's fingers drawing small circles on his hips was enough to make him crazy and Ken wondered if they could just keep this going, or was Ethan the type to shy away from that sort of speed.

"Want to take this to the bedroom?" Ken asked. Not that one couldn't have sex on a couch, but it was more that he wanted to gently suggest sex.... (not to mention he kept things like condoms and lube in the other room). Ken raised an eyebrow at Ethan lightly and smiled.

"I mean, we can stay here like this too if you'd rather..." Ken said as a disclaimer. He didn't want Ethan to feel pressured but Ken wasn't the type not to ask for what he wanted. Ken walked his fingers up Ethan's chest before kissing him deeply, letting his whole body press into his. He wanted to be wrapped up with him so badly, a tangle of limbs. Ken had a feeling moving to Aspen was the best thing to ever happen to him.

[ETHAN DEXTER HILL]

Ethan smiled and purred against Ken's lips. He wasn't about to stop this. Ethan realised that he had missed this kind of intimacy, more than he'd realised (and meaningless flings totally didn't count, but Ethan was hoping that this wouldn't be that. They had been friends for a little while before, that had to count for something).

When Ken suggested they move to the bedroom, Ethan pulled back, and grinned. "Why not" he said, and sat up as much as he could. He slipped back down as Ken walked his fingers up his bare chest, and kissed him again. Right now, it would practically kill Ethan to stop this.

"Ken, I want to go to your bedroom with you" he chuckled without malice. "I really really want to" he added, to make sure Ken knew that he wanted this as much as - he hoped - Ken did. He smiled and pulled himself gently out from under Ken, and stood up, holding his hand out for Ken. "Would you lead the way?" he grinned. Though he had a basic understanding of the flat layout, he hadn't been there enough to know exactly where everything was.

[KENNEDY DAVID MILLER]

Ken grinned and hopped off the couch, eager to have the feeling of Ethan under him again, or on top of him if Ethan preferred. Ken liked a dominate role but he wouldn't mind switching it up. He grabbed Ethan's hand and led him to his bedroom. It was clean, masculine and Ken liked it that way, but he'd like it even better with Ethan's clothes on his floor though.

Ken pulled Ethan to himself by the hips, kissing him as he walked backward the few steps to the bed. With a tumble and bounce of the mattress, they were on the bed and Ken found himself using his sock feet to kick off Ethan's slippers before tugging on Ethan's waistband to pull off his pants, following with his own. Ken figured their boxers would be soon to follow and he kissed Ethan hard, his fingers wandering lower and lower, his other hand wound up in the man's hair.

*****damn TOS won't let me write this part*****

After a rigorous roll in the sheets, Ken found himself panting, sweating and grinning. He leaned over to ruffle Ethan's hair as his body shuddered sleepily back to normal. "That was fucking hot." He said with a contented smile at his neighbor, friend, lover.... boyfriend?

[ETHAN DEXTER HILL]

Ethan watched as Ken jumped off the couch, though his eyes were mostly trained on Ken's bare chest. Ethan followed Ken, briefly glancing around the room, but not really caring to take too much of a in depth look at his surroundings. Because honestly he couldn't really care at that moment. Ethan let Ken pull him flush against him, and focused on the feeling of their bodies pressed together once more.

Ethan enjoyed the kissing, and grinned as the two fell back onto the bed, he almost chuckled once the slippers were gone. Ken's hand was in his hair, and he mumbled softly, one of the things he enjoyed was having his hair played with. Ken made quick work of the rest of their clothing, and Ethan helped as much as he could.

Ethan rolled over onto his side, and laughed as Ken ruffled his hair, he propped himself up on his elbow, "I agree" he said languidly. "It was incredibly hot" he spoke through a soft yawn. He smiled back at Ken, and leaned forwards, to gently kiss Ken on the lips.

He leaned his head back onto the pillow, "Uh, thank you for that" Ethan said softly.

[KENNEDY DAVID MILLER]

Ken chuckled at the thank you and just pulled Ethan to his chest so he could run his fingers through Ethan's hair while he listened to his heart beat. "No need to thank me." Ken said. But he was thankful to, not for the sex per-say, but for a new chance to feel, for ending his dry spell. Ken yawned lightly, his body enormously tired after their long, intense, wonderful romp. This had turned into a pretty perfect sleepover.

"You wanna go to the holiday party with me?" Ken said lazily. He'd been excited to see how the other half lived, and decorated, but he'd felt funny going alone. And considering this friendly get together had turned into sex, maybe it was time for a proper date. Ken wanted more of Ethan, not just a night and then an awkward neighbor.

Ken stretched lightly and pulled the covers up around them both, figuring they could probably settle in for the night. Ken liked the idea of just cuddling naked as they drifted off to sleep. "Supposed to be a bitchin' party, but I need a date." Ken said raising his eyebrows at Ethan.

[ETHAN DEXTER HILL]

Ethan rested his head against Ken's chest, wrapping an arm around his waist as he did, Ethan was trying hard to resist the sleepy feeling that had invaded his body. He nodded against Ken's chest and smiled.

Ethan frowned in confusion for a moment... Holiday Party? Then his mouth made an 'o' shape, as he figured out what Ken was talking about. "I'd love to go with you" Ethan told Ken, though it wouldn't have mattered what Ken had asked, Ethan would probably have said yes anyway. Though, if it involved planes, he would have to think it through for a while. He didn't know why but planes freaked the hell out of him.

"I am not gonna pass up a party" Ethan chuckled, in fact, it was high time he found an excuse to throw a small party of his own, he started to mentally tick through his list of friends birthdays, but after getting through the first few, he stopped. "Suit and tie kind of party right?" he asked, though he was pretty sure of the answer he'd get.

Ethan did have a few suits stashed in the back of his wardrobe, but he was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to buy a new one.

[KENNEDY DAVID MILLER]

Ken smiled and shrugged. "Apparently the resort throws a big party every Christmas and everyone in the town can come for free, I think they set up a balcony for VIPs but its supposed to be fun," He said. Of course he hadn't been here for that long, couple of weeks, maybe a month, certainly not long enough to have gone before. Ethan seemed to be unsure of what he was talking about but Ken had been under the impression that everyone knew about it. Maybe it was known about but everyone was scared to go.

In any case, Ken knew that he'd have to throw a party, maybe after Hadley moved in, a sort of welcome to the neighborhood thing. He could invite Ethan, and Jack and whoever else, coworkers, neighbors... Ken loved a good party.

"Yeah I think so, but I think I'm gonna shoot for the semi-casual look, you know, nice jeans and a blazer." Ken mused. He of course had suits, but he liked more drama than that. Maybe'd he'd wear his suit T-shirt... "So maybe skip the tie, and leave a couple buttons undone," Ken flirted, drawing little circles with his finger on Ethan's sternum. Not that he could handle another round yet, but he was a fan of flirting.
