As soon as Eric had given the kiss back, Ryan could no longer control himself. He pushed himself against him a little more and put more emotion into the kiss. Even if there was a part of him that told him to pull away, he knew that was impossible, he was determined this time. A strong hunger rose from deep within him and the heat that was starting to come off Eric was only intensifying it more.  Instead of pushing it away he let it take him. He wasnâ€™t afraid of getting lost in the moment either, and allowed all of his emotions to come out. What he had felt on the ship could not hold a candle to what he was feeling in this kiss now. Every time they kissed, it seemed to get better and better. They both had emotions for each other that they wanted to get out so badly.<br/><br/>Should he tease him again? He allowed one of his hands to slide down a little towards Ericâ€™s lower back but didnâ€™t go further than that. It wouldnâ€™t feel right if he didnâ€™t tease the man a little.<br/><br/>He was still pretty hell-bent on making him work a little to get what he wanted. At times, Ryan could be a sadistic man and it was showing through a little here. He liked to see people suffer, even when it came to romance, but that didnâ€™t necessarily mean he was cruel. He was only cruel whenever he was dealing with his enemies or putting his men in line. Right now he was going to make Eric suffer in the sense that he knew he wanted him yet he would hold back. His emotions were too strong to hold back completely, however. If he were to try to hold back he doubted he would be able to stay restrained for too long. If he did he would only be tormenting himself and he simply did not want to do that. Though, part of him did wonder if Eric would do the same thing.<br/><br/>Ryan broke the kiss suddenly, but not how he had done so back on the ship. He kept Eric in his arms, feeling his heart beating rapidly in his chest, taking a moment to catch his breath. He didnâ€™t pull away from Eric completely; he was still holding him against him, his lips still lightly against his. â€œI have an idea. Why donâ€™t we leave to go to my hideout now? We would be at peace since we wonâ€™t have to worry about Kat at all there.â€ He said into his ear, hoping that Eric would agree. That kiss had made him feel a thousand times better, and he was sure it made Eric feel better after everything that has happened as well. But even though he was not too concerned about Kat, despite coming off like he was, he felt they might be able to get some stuff done without her around.<br/><br/>â€œWhat say you, dear Eric?â€ There was a look in his eyes that said he was hoping Eric would agree. â€œWe could do all of our investigating and be back before she even wakes up.â€ It all made sense, right? Of course he wanted Eric to himself, but still. He was trying to see what he could work out.
