"Yes," Abel said, and the single syllable traveled to Frank's groin like an actual caress. His eyelids fluttered once, but he quickly won back control over his features, schooling them into something less revealing, more impassive. But for the smoldering heat in his eyes, he could have passed as completely unaffected.
His fingers tightened possessively on Abel's neck, as if he were about to draw the younger man closer, but he didn't. They just gripped him there, Frank's eyes drinking in all of his reactions, mapping him.
When he spoke, his voice was low and rough and landed on just this side of actual growling. He said, simply, "Good."
His free hand landed on Abel's hip, dragging him close so their chests nearly bumped, so Frank could feel the heat rolling off of Abel and vice versa. He let go of him then, at both points of contact, and let his hands fall to his sides.
"Lose the shirt."
