You have no idea just how long I've wanted you. I've watched you from afar, admired your beauty for so many months, but I never made the move that would make you mine. Sometimes, even when I was at a scene, you were all that I could think of. I think now looking back, that I was just scared of the commitment. You are so beautiful to look upon that I feel plain and drab next to you, but you don't even notice.

Now here you are, in my home, in my life and I can't quite believe it. Sometimes I have to pinch myself, just to be sure that this is for real. I watch as you move with a fluid, graceful step across the room. Your every movement screams of self-assurance, boldness, and curiosity. God, how I love you.

As you draw near to me now I can feel my heart rate rise a little in anticipation of that first contact, that first touch. I covet your touch, your attention. Make me yours... make me....

"Gil...Gil?" Nick's voice breaks through his arachnid induced fugue. "Gilbert Grissom, if you don't put that spider down right now and come to bed, so help me god, I'm never playing dirty cowboys again." And with a final pointed stare and a mock petulant pout, Nick turns on his heel and returns to their bedroom.

Sighing, Gil picks up the newest addition to his array of eight legged companions and sets him inside his tank. After all, a spider is only a spider. On the other hand, dirty cowboys with Nicky is something to be treasured. And as he turns to the bedroom door and his lover within, he can't help but grin as he wonders just which of them will be in the saddle tonight.
