How Ronan Lynch can take him from zero to hero in .2 seconds flat is beyond him. But suddenly his heart is pounding in his ears, in his chest, in his hands and all the way down to his toes. He pulls his hands away from Ronan but just to help Ronan to get the top half of his jumpsuit off. Then his hands find the zipper on Ronan's and pull it down. As he pushes the material off Ronan's shoulders his hands smooth over warm skin.

His lips have barely left Ronan's. But now, with Ronan's top half bared, his lips wander down to his jawline, to his neck to his shoulders and lower. It's startling how accustomed he's become to Ronan and his closeness, being intimate with him and his general Ronan-ness. It feels new and thrilling and old-hat and somehow right all at the same time. Adam doesn't fight it anymore, not like he used to. This is his one constant.
