The former villain's pale blue gaze was intense suddenly as the urge to grab Dick and yank him in for a kiss. The naked desire was plain to see in the older man's eyes when Dick quietly uttered those very suggestive words.

His hands moved of their own volition and he moved to cup the handsome man's face gently, slowly. He was giving Dick plenty of time to pull back before. "Please don't hate me for this," he whispered before leaning in to kiss Dick softly. There was so little distance between them right then that it was easy to do so.
