After moving his hands down to Ericâ€™s lower back again he let them stay there then wrapped his arms around him. Ryan shivered slightly when he felt Ericâ€™s hand go up his shirt. He could feel the lust from him, it was practically radiating off him by this point. It would be a lie if he said he wasnâ€™t feeling the same way, he really had wanted Eric to keep going though it was partially out of selfishness. The reason he wanted Eric to make the first move was because he knew that he wanted him badly and again as far as he was concerned he had him to himself. He should claim what he wanted, push everything away and just go for it, let the moment take him away. But it seems he was either unable to do that or he just didnâ€™t really want to which was fine.<br/><br/>Maybe it was still too soon. It wouldnâ€™t be right to rush things but at the same time the emotions he felt towards Eric were screaming at him him to just go ahead and give the man what he wanted anyway. While he didnâ€™t break away from the kiss his hands remained where they were and probably werenâ€™t going to go anywhere. Perhaps leaving his hands there was his way of giving him one last chance to make that move. In a way it could also be a way of showing him that he didnâ€™t want to rush things. However, the truth was that he was actually a bit uncomfortable making the move here and now and that was why he was hesitating. As much as he wanted to just be all over Eric he just couldnâ€™t bring himself to do it since he was out of his comfort zone.<br/><br/>Back home heâ€™d have no problem but here, on a military ship, well he just didnâ€™t feel comfortable. It was probably strange, but he supposed sometimes he could be a little strange sometimes. Who wasnâ€™t strange at times?<br/><br/>That was why Ryan had eventually broken the kiss despite telling himself at the start that he wouldnâ€™t be the one to pull away. He had to admit, that kiss had definitely been something and he hadnâ€™t wanted want to end it. As he caught his breath after the kiss he kept his arms around Eric, continuing to hold him against him. The heat coming off of their bodies made everything around him seem colder than it was. He didnâ€™t want to give up that heat. This was his way of telling Eric that if he wanted him then he needed to be ready to make that next move, though that was mostly to hide some of his discomfort. Ryan really didnâ€™t want to be the one to do everything. That was at least somewhat true. It was going to be hard but he would be patient and wait for Eric to truly claim what he wanted
